“…In hair samples, AP and MP could also be detected in very low concentrations. al., , Jonsson et al, 1996Herraez-Hernandez et al, 1998), in addition to plasma (Cheung et al, 1997;Nakashima et al, 1990;Nagasawa et al, 1996;Gjerde et al, 1993;Hara et al, 1997;Bogusz et al, 1997) and hair (Nakahara et al, 1993;Slawson et al, 1996;Takayama et al, 1997), have been detailed.Recently, we reported highly sensitive HPLC methods with fluorescence (FL) detection for the determination of AP and MP in urine (Al-Dirbashi et al, 1998a,b, 2000a and hair samples (Al-Dirbashi et al, 1999, 2000b obtained from MP abusers. In these methods, AP and MP were determined after their derivatization with the fluorescent reagent, 4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl)benzoyl chloride (DIB-Cl) (Nakashima et al, 1995).…”
