Bupropion is a medication commonly used to treat depression and help people quit smoking. However, it has the potential to be misused or diverted, so it is important to have accurate and sensitive methods to detect it in bodily fluids. We present a fast and dependable quantitative LC-MS/MS method for measuring bupropion levels in urine. This method involves enzymatic hydrolysis and separation using a reversed-phase C18 column, where the effectiveness of the hydrolysis is monitored using morphine-3-b-D-glucuronide. The analysis is conducted using an AB Sciex 3500 mass spectrometer with dual-channel LC system.

D015203 Reproducibility of Results The statistical reproducibility of measurements (often in a clinical context), including the testing of instrumentation or techniques to obtain reproducible results. The concept includes reproducibility of physiological measurements, which may be used to develop rules to assess probability or prognosis, or response to a stimulus; reproducibility of occurrence of a condition; and reproducibility of experimental results.

D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.

D020719 Glucuronides Glycosides of GLUCURONIC ACID formed by the reaction of URIDINE DIPHOSPHATE GLUCURONIC ACID with certain endogenous and exogenous substances. Their formation is important for the detoxification of drugs, steroid excretion and BILIRUBIN metabolism to a more water-soluble compound that can be eliminated in the URINE and BILE. Glucuronide
