The benzodiazepine assay utilizes gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) for the analysis of diazepam, nordiazepam, oxazepam, temazepam, lorazepam, alpha-hydroxyalprazolam, and alpha-hydroxytriazolam in blood and urine. A separate assay is employed for the analysis of alprazolam. Prior to solid phase extraction, urine specimens are subjected to enzyme hydrolysis. The specimens are fortified with deuterated internal standard and a five-point calibration curve is constructed. Specimens are extracted by mixed-mode solid phase extraction. The benzodiazepine extracts are derivatized with N-methyl-N-(tert-butyldimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MTBSFTA) producing tert-butyldimethyl silyl derivatives; the alprazolam extracts are reconstituted in methanol without derivatization. The final extracts are then analyzed using selected ion monitoring GC-MS.

D008140 Lorazepam A benzodiazepine used as an anti-anxiety agent with few side effects. It also has hypnotic, anticonvulsant, and considerable sedative properties and has been proposed as a preanesthetic agent.

D003708 Nordazepam An intermediate in the metabolism of DIAZEPAM to OXAZEPAM. It may have actions similar to those of diazepam. Dealkylprazepam,Demethyldiazepam,Deoxydemoxepam,Desmethyldiazepam,Nordiazepam,Calmday,N-Desalkylhalazepam,N-Descyclopropylmethyl-Prazepam,N-Descyclopropylmethylprazepam,N-Destrifluoroethylhalazepam,Nordaz,Norprazepam,Ro 5-2180,Tranxilium N,Vegesan,N Desalkylhalazepam,N Descyclopropylmethyl Prazepam,N Descyclopropylmethylprazepam,N Destrifluoroethylhalazepam,Ro 5 2180,Ro 52180
D003975 Diazepam A benzodiazepine with anticonvulsant, anxiolytic, sedative, muscle relaxant, and amnesic properties and a long duration of action. Its actions are mediated by enhancement of GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID activity. 7-Chloro-1,3-dihydro-1-methyl-5-phenyl-2H-1,4-benzodiazepin-2-one,Apaurin,Diazemuls,Faustan,Relanium,Seduxen,Sibazon,Stesolid,Valium

D000525 Alprazolam A triazolobenzodiazepine compound with antianxiety and sedative-hypnotic actions, that is efficacious in the treatment of PANIC DISORDERS, with or without AGORAPHOBIA, and in generalized ANXIETY DISORDERS. (From AMA Drug Evaluations Annual, 1994, p238) Alprazolan,Alprox,Apo-Alpraz,Cassadan,D-65MT,Esparon,Kalma,Novo-Alprazol,Nu-Alpraz,Ralozam,Tafil,Trankimazin,U-31,889,Xanax,Apo Alpraz,D65MT,Novo Alprazol,Nu Alpraz,U31,889
D001569 Benzodiazepines A group of two-ring heterocyclic compounds consisting of a benzene ring fused to a diazepine ring. Benzodiazepine,Benzodiazepine Compounds
D014229 Triazolam A short-acting benzodiazepine used in the treatment of insomnia. Some countries temporarily withdrew triazolam from the market because of concerns about adverse reactions, mostly psychological, associated with higher dose ranges. Its use at lower doses with appropriate care and labeling has been reaffirmed by the FDA and most other countries.
