Ketamine hydrochloride, a Schedule III drug under the Controlled Substances Act, is a dissociative anesthetic that has a combination of stimulant, depressant, hallucinogenic, and analgesic properties. This procedure utilizes solid phase extraction of blood, tissue, or urine samples to isolate ketamine (special K) and its metabolite norketamine. The extract is then assayed using selected ion monitoring gas chromatography/mass spectrometry for absolute structural confirmation of the compound and the compounds quantified by comparing responses of the unknown samples to the responses of standards.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007649 Ketamine A cyclohexanone derivative used for induction of anesthesia. Its mechanism of action is not well understood, but ketamine can block NMDA receptors (RECEPTORS, N-METHYL-D-ASPARTATE) and may interact with sigma receptors. 2-(2-Chlorophenyl)-2-(methylamino)cyclohexanone,CI-581,Calipsol,Calypsol,Kalipsol,Ketalar,Ketamine Hydrochloride,Ketanest,Ketaset,CI 581,CI581
