GLC-mass Spectral Determination of Mescaline in Plasma of Rabbits after Intravenous Injection

Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences January 1, 1980 C. Van Peteghem, A. Heyndrickx, W. Van Zele 11 citations

A gas-liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry method using a deuterated internal standard accurately measures mescaline concentrations in rabbit plasma. After intravenous administration, mescaline and the internal standard are extracted with benzene, derivatized with trifluoroacetic acid anhydride, and separated on a 2.5% QF-1 column with mass fragmentographic detection. The detection limit is 5 ng/ml of plasma, and the relative standard deviation is about 5%. The method's main advantage is combining the specificity of gas-liquid chromatography retention time and mass spectral fragmentation with the sensitivity of mass fragmentographic detection.

Pharmacokinetic parameters of mescaline in rabbits

European Journal of Drug Metabolism and Pharmacokinetics January 1, 1982 C. Van Peteghem, A. Heyndrickx, W. Van Zele 3 citations

Mescaline in rabbit plasma follows a two-compartment open model after intravenous injection. Half-life times for the alpha and beta phases, velocity constants, and steady-state distribution volumes are reported for four subjects, measured using a highly specific and sensitive mass fragmentographic method.
