Upon irradiation with short-wavelength UV light the tranquillizer demoxepam is converted into a highly fluorescent product. This reaction serves as a sensitive and selective means of detection of low levels of demoxepam in e.g., serum after separation by means of

A simple, rapid method for the determination of the benzodiazepines, diazepam and chlordiazepoxide, and their metabolites by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) has been developed. The procedure is applicable to the assay of other similar drugs in biological fluids. The
In chronic studies, the classical benzodiazepine chlordiazepoxide (CDP) is often the preferred drug because, unlike other benzodiazepines, it is soluble in water. However, rapid CDP hydrolysis in solution has been described. This would diminish plasma levels in chronic minipump studies

The identification of the metabolite demoxepam in human urine establishes that chlordiazepoxide, a common benzodiazepine, has been administered. Like N-oxide metabolites of other drugs, demoxepam cannot be detected by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), due to thermal decomposition, and the product

The cytotoxicity of oxaziridines photogenerated after irradiation of chlordiazepoxide (CDZ) and its metabolites was investigated in vitro by a MTT assay on P388 leukemia and B16 melanoma cell lines and compared with that of the anticancer drug, melphalan. For the
