Identification of two glucuronide metabolites of doxylamine via thermospray/mass spectrometry and thermospray/mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry

J Anal Toxicol. 1987 Jul-Aug;11(4):182-4. doi: 10.1093/jat/11.4.182.

Abstract

Analysis of a high-pressure liquid chromatography fraction containing two urinary glucuronide metabolites of doxylamine by thermospray mass spectrometry (TSP/MS) provided [MH]+ ions for each metabolite. TSP/MS/MS of the [MH]+ ions provided a fragment ion characteristic of these metabolites. The results demonstrate the utility of TSP/MS analysis for biologically derived glucuronide metabolites.
