Abstract: | The glucuronide conjugates of ketobemidone, norketobemidone and hydroxymethoxyketobemidone were identified in human urine post-intravenous administration of Ketogan Novum. The human urine was extracted on a mixed-mode solid-phase micro-column before analysis with liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-TOF-MS) and tandem MS (MS/MS). Accurate mass and collision-induced dissociation product ion spectra were used for identification of the glucuronide conjugates. Two different TOF mass spectrometers were used and the accurate mass measurements were performed on three separate days with each instrument. The accuracy of the mass measurements was better than 2.1 ppm for two out of three conjugates and the inter-day relative standard deviation was within +/-0.00049%. The MS/MS fragmentation patterns of the conjugates were in accordance with those of the synthetic aglycones and included peaks originating from the M + H](+) ion of the respective aglycone. |
