title: 19-Nor-deoxycorticosterone in the neutral fraction of human urine.
abstract: 19-Nor-deoxycorticosterone (19-nor-DOC), in the neutral fraction of human urine, was isolated and quantitated as the acetate derivative using ultraviolet absorption of the peak emerging from a high-pressure liquid chromatographic column. Identification of 19-nor-DOC in a pooled collection of urine after ACTH administration included identical chromatographic mobilities as the parent compound and acetate derivative compared to authentic 19-nor-DOC and mass spectral analysis of the acetate derivative. Values obtained for control and post-ACTH urines were 528 +/- 100 (SE) ng/24 hours and 8851 +/- 824 ng/24 hours, respectively. One patient with primary aldosteronism excreted 1894 ng/24 hours.
