An ultra‐violet spectrophotometric method is described for the determination of thalidomide in blood, plasma or urine. Thalidomide is extracted from the sample with chloroform, and the drop in extinction measured when solutions are treated with alkali. The method has been used to determine the amount of drug present in animal and human blood.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
