title: Toxicological and pathological findings in fatalities involving pentazocine and tripelennamine.
abstract: Toxicological and pathological findings are described in fatalities involving pentazocine (Talwin) and tripelennamine (Pyribenzamine). Procedures using thin-layer chromatography, gas chromatography, ultraviolet spectrophotometry, and spectrophotofluorometry are described, as well as the quantitative analysis of biological specimens of drug abuse and homicide victims.
