A new immunoaffinity solid phase extraction of morphine and its phase II metabolites, morphine-3-beta-D-glucuronide and morphine-6-beta-D-glucuronide is described. An immunoadsorber was applied which was created for the first time by the immobilisation of specific antibodies (polyclonal, host: rabbit) by the sol-gel method. The extraction method in combination with high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence determination has been validated and shown to be applicable to blood samples of heroin victims in a low concentration range. Blood extracts were essentially free of interfering matrix components when compared to C8-extracts. Additionally, a novel, sensitive and selective detection system for wavelength-resolved analysis of laser-induced fluorescence coupled to HPLC was developed. The analytes were excited with a frequency tripled Ti:Sa laser (lambda=244 nm quasi cw). The total emission spectrum was recorded with a detection system consisting of an imaging spectrograph and a back-illuminated CCD camera. This technique of detection, combined with an extended optical path (at least 6 mm could be illuminated by the laser), resulted in an optimal fluorescence intensity of the analytes. The method permitted the analysis of morphine, morphine-3-beta-D-glucuronide and morphine-6-beta-D-glucuronide in a low concentration range and could be applied to a complex matrix such as postmortem blood samples because analyte peaks could be discriminated from matrix peaks by their characteristic emission spectra.

A sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic method coupled to tandem mass spectrometry was developed and validated for the quantification of morphine, hydromorphone, fentanyl, midazolam and propofol and their metabolites morphine-3-β-d-glucuronide, morphine-6-β-d-glucuronide, hydromorphone-3-β-d-glucuronide, 1'-hydroxymidazolam-β-d-glucuronide, α-hydroxymidazolam and 4-hydroxymidazolam in human plasma using potassium oxalate/sodium fluoride mixture as anticoagulant. Human plasma samples (0.4 mL) to which were added a mixture of eleven deuterated internal standards were subjected to solid phase extraction using a mixed-mode polymeric Oasis PRiME MCX in 96-well format.

Studying the origin of opiate and/or opiate metabolites in individual urine specimens after consumption of cold syrups is vital for patients, doctors, and law enforcement. A rapid liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method using "dilute-and-shoot" analysis without the need for extraction, hydrolysis and/or derivatization has been developed and validated. The approach provides linear ranges of 2.

The determination of morphine and its isobaric metabolites morphine-3-beta-d-glucuronide (M3G) and morphine-6-beta-d-glucuronide (M6G) is useful for therapeutic drug monitoring and forensic identification of drug use. In particular, capillary electrophoresis with mass spectrometry (CE-MS) represents an attractive tool for opioid analysis. Whereas volatile background electrolytes in CE often improve electrospray ionization for coupled MS detection, such electrolytes may reduce CE separation efficiency and resolution.

Morphine 3-β-D-glucuronide (M3G) and morphine 6-β-D-glucuronide (M6G) are the major metabolites of morphine in humans. More recently, morphine-3-β-d-glucoside (M-3-glucoside) was identified in the urine of patients treated with morphine. Kinetic and inhibition studies using human liver microsomes (HLM) and recombinant UGTs as enzyme sources along with molecular modeling were used here to characterize the relationship between morphine glucuronidation and glucosidation.

A rapid LC-MS/MS assay method for simultaneous quantification of morphine, fentanyl, midazolam and their major metabolites: morphine-3-β-D-glucuronide (M3G), morphine-6-β-D-glucuronide (M6G), norfentanyl, 1'-hydroxymidazolam (1-OH-MDZ) and 4-hydroxymidazolam (4-OH-MDZ) in samples of human plasma has been developed and validated. Robotic on-line solid phase extraction (SPE) instrumentation was used to elute the eight analytes of interest from polymeric SPE cartridges to which had been added aliquots (150 μL) of human plasma and aliquots (150 μL) of a mixture of two internal standards, viz. morphine-d3 (200 ng/mL) and 1'-hydroxymidazolam-d5 (50 ng/mL) in 50 mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 9.
