Gas chromatographic analysis of meperidine and normeperidine: determination in blood after a single dose of meperidine. 1982

P Jacob, and J F Rigod, and S M Pond, and N L Benowitz

A method is described for the determination of meperidine and its pharmacologically active metabolite, normeperidine, in blood, plasma, and urine using gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorus detection. Structural analogs of both meperidine and normeperidine were used as internal standards. Unlike previously reported assays, this procedure was sensitive and convenient enough for use in pharmacokinetic studies of both meperidine and normeperidine following single doses of meperidine. The assay was sensitive to 5 ng of meperidine/ml and 2.5 ng of normeperidine/ml extracted from a 1-ml biological sample. The between-assay coefficients of variation at these concentrations were 9.4 and 10.4%, respectively.

D008614 Meperidine A narcotic analgesic that can be used for the relief of most types of moderate to severe pain, including postoperative pain and the pain of labor. Prolonged use may lead to dependence of the morphine type; withdrawal symptoms appear more rapidly than with morphine and are of shorter duration.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
