Identification and determination of dextromoramide, a nonopiate narcotic.

Abstract

A method for the identification and quantification of dextromoramide in plasma by GC/NPD is presented. The procedure employs alfentanil as the internal standard and requires no derivatization. After a single-step extraction, analysis is performed on a 3% OV-17 Chromosorb Q glass column. The lower limit of detectability was found to be 2 ng/ml in plasma.
