Determination of triazolam and its metabolites 1-hydroxymethyltriazolam and 4-hydroxytriazolam in eight autopsy cases by GC-MS

Simple analysis of blonanserin, a novel antipsychotic agent, in human plasma by GC-MS

“…2). Many drugs of abuse and psychotropic drugs, such as minor [6,7] and major [8,9] tranquilizers and antidepressants [10], are of great importance in forensic toxicology because they can be abused, cause death, or infl uence the cause of death. Because the present blonanserin is classifi ed as a major tranquilizer (a second-generation antipsychotic), cases of accidental death or suicide involving blonanserin will appear in the near future.…”

Sensitive Analysis of Blonanserin, a Novel Antipsychotic Agent, in Human Plasma by Ultra-Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

“…Various psychotropic drugs, such as minor 15,16 and major 17,18 tranquilizers and antidepressants, 19 are of great importance in forensic toxicology, because such drugs can be abused, cause death, or influence the cause of death. Because blonanserin is classified as a major tranquilizer (a second-generation antipsychotic), cases of accidental death or suicide involving blonanserin will appear in the near future.…”

High concentration of methidathion detected in a fatal case of organophosphate-poisoning

“…A model Trace GC and Trace MS system (Thermo Fisher Scientific, Waltham, MA, USA) was used for GC-MS in the positive electron impact (EI) mode [10][11][12]. The ionization voltage and ionization current were set at 70 eV and 0.15 mA, respectively.…”
