title: [Analysis of benzodiazepine derivative mixture by gas-liquid chromatography].
abstract: The analysis of mixture of benzodiazepine derivates (chlordiazepoxide, flunitrazepam, medazepam, nitrazepam, oxazepam and tetrazepam) by gas--liquid chromatography (GLC) in purpose to separate and identify these psychotropic drugs in mixture is presented in this article. The experiment was carried out in vitro, accommodating this method for identification and separation of drugs, isolated from biological objects (blood and urine). Referring to data of annual reports of chemical investigations (1) above-mentioned psychotropic drugs are very frequent among drug intoxication. In most cases they are detected in the mixture of the same or different pharmacological group, and this causes difficulty for separation and identification. The analysis of the mixture was carried out by GLC, which is widely used in practice of forensic-chemical examination. Adsorbents and stationery phases were changed; the conditions and parameters of chromatography were modified, in purpose totally separate preparations in the mixture. For the separation and identification of all three preparation the column packed with Inerton Super with stationary phase 3% OV-17 is suitable. The column temperature-290 degrees C. The mixture of these drugs was excreted from body fluids (blood and urine) in vitro and investigated by GLC under these conditions. The results of investigation were similar.
