Journal ArticleDOI
Quantitative analysis of methadone and two major metabolites in hair by positive chemical ionization ion trap mass spectrometry.
TL;DR: A sensitive and specific method for the quantitative determination of D,L-methadone (MD) and its metabolites, D, L-2-ethyl-1,5-dimethyl-3, 3-diphenylpyrrolinium (EDDP) and D, l2- methyl-5-methyl-2,3,3-d Diphenyl-1- pyrroline (EMDP), in hair has been developed and has been applied
Journal ArticleDOI
Incorporation of Drugs for the Treatment of Substance Abuse into Pigmented and Nonpigmented Hair
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that L-alpha-acetylmethadol, methadone, buprenorphine, and metabolites are distributed into hair in a dose-related manner with a preference for pigmented hair.
Journal Article
Testing for Drugs of Abuse in Hair - Experimental Observations and Indications for Future Research.
TL;DR: Experimental observations have established that parent drug concentrations in hair are generally greater than their metabolites; chemical structure of the drug is important in determining its incorporation into hair; and pigmentation of hair plays an important role in determining drug incorporation.
