o-Hydroxymandelic acid and m-hydroxymandelic acid have been identified in human urine by gas chromatography mass spectrometry selected ion monitoring. After solvent extraction the urinary acids were converted to their O-trifluoroacetoxy methyl ester derivatives which were identified by comparison of the

The metabolism of R-(-)-m-synephrine (administered orally and by inhalation in man and intraperitoneally in rats) was studied quantitatively by a gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring (g.c.-m.s.-s.i.m.) method using deuterated internal standards. When m-synephrine hydrochloride was administered orally to humans in

The urinary concentrations of o-hydroxymandelic acid, m-hydroxymandelic acid, p-hydroxymandelic acid, homovanillic acid and vanillylmandelic acid were determined in 57 healthy children and 9 patients with neuroblastoma. The concentrations of o-hydroxymandelic acid and p-hydroxymandelic were not significantly different for both groups
