title: Negative-ion mass spectra of methylated diuretics.
abstract: The negative-ion mass spectra of 19 methylated diuretics are presented and correlations between these spectra and the chemical structures of the compounds are indicated. The spectra are of interest as the basis of an analytical method for the identification of small quantities of diuretics in the urine of hypokalemic patients.
