Quantitative determination of N-[trans-2-(dimethylamino)-cyclopentyl]-N-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)propan amide, its 2H5-labeled analogue and their N-dealkylated metabolites in dog serum by capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
This paper describes the development of a capillary gas chromatographic--mass spectrometric method for the determination of N-[trans-2-(dimethylamino)cyclopentyl]-N-(3',4'-dichlorophenyl)propan amide and its metabolites in serum. The method utilizes an automated sample preparation whereby drug, metabolites and internal standard are extracted from polar serum components by adsorption chromatography onto an XAD-type resin. The N-demethylated metabolites are derivatized by acetylation prior to chromatography. Detection is by mass spectrometry with chemical ionization. This method was utilized to determine levels of unlabeled and pentadeuterated drug and their respective metabolites in canine serum after oral co-administration. No significant kinetic isotope effects were observed for either absorption or metabolism.
