Negative-ion mass spectrometry of amphetamine congeners. 1978

Y Mårde, and R Ryhage

Negative-ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry with a conventional combined gas chromatograph-mass spectrometer has been used for the analysis of amphetamine-like compounds. Ammonia was used as the reagent gas, which gives rise to few but specific sample-fragment ions, such as (M--1)- as the base peak, m/z 91, and a smaller peak corresponding to the end part of the side chain. Five reference compounds and a urine sample from an overdose case were analyzed. Comparative positive-ion chemical ionization reference spectra were also recorded.

D008694 Methamphetamine A central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic with actions and uses similar to DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. The smokable form is a drug of abuse and is referred to as crank, crystal, crystal meth, ice, and speed. Deoxyephedrine,Desoxyephedrine,Desoxyn,Madrine,Metamfetamine,Methamphetamine Hydrochloride,Methylamphetamine,N-Methylamphetamine,Hydrochloride, Methamphetamine,N Methylamphetamine
D010633 Phenmetrazine A sympathomimetic drug used primarily as an appetite depressant. Its actions and mechanisms are similar to DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. Defenmetrazin,Fenmetrazin,Oxazimedrine,Phenmetraline,Phenmetrazine Hydrochloride,Preludin,Hydrochloride, Phenmetrazine
D010645 Phentermine A central nervous system stimulant and sympathomimetic with actions and uses similar to those of DEXTROAMPHETAMINE. It has been used most frequently in the treatment of obesity. Adipex-P,Duromine,Ionamine,Phentermine Hydrochloride,Adipex P,AdipexP,Hydrochloride, Phentermine
D010665 Phenylpropanolamine A sympathomimetic that acts mainly by causing release of NOREPINEPHRINE but also has direct agonist activity at some adrenergic receptors. It is most commonly used as a nasal vasoconstrictor and an appetite depressant. Norephedrine,Dexatrim,Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride,Prolamine,Propagest,Triaminic DM,Hydrochloride, Phenylpropanolamine
D004809 Ephedrine A phenethylamine found in EPHEDRA SINICA. PSEUDOEPHEDRINE is an isomer. It is an alpha- and beta-adrenergic agonist that may also enhance release of norepinephrine. It has been used for asthma, heart failure, rhinitis, and urinary incontinence, and for its central nervous system stimulatory effects in the treatment of narcolepsy and depression. It has become less extensively used with the advent of more selective agonists.

D006801 Humans Members of the species Homo sapiens. Homo sapiens,Man (Taxonomy),Human,Man, Modern,Modern Man
D000662 Amphetamines Analogs or derivatives of AMPHETAMINE. Many are sympathomimetics and central nervous system stimulators causing excitation, vasopressin, bronchodilation, and to varying degrees, anorexia, analepsis, nasal decongestion, and some smooth muscle relaxation.
D000838 Anions Negatively charged atoms, radicals or groups of atoms which travel to the anode or positive pole during electrolysis. Anion
