Abstract/OtherAbstract:
An improved method for the simultaneous determination of cocaine and benzoylecgonine by means of gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection is described. Following a solid-phase extraction and derivatization of benzoylecgonine to its butyl ester, chromatography was performed using a capillary column. The n-propylester of benzoylecgonine served as the internal standard. The assay was linear from 4 to 2000 ng/ml for both cocaine and benzoylecgonine, with a good precision over this concentration range. This method may be particularly useful for small volume samples since it requires only 250 microliters of plasma for analysis of both cocaine and benzoylecgonine.
