General description

Phenylpropanolamine, also known as Norephedrine, is a stimulant, decongestant, and anorectic drug commonly used in many prescription and over-the-counter cold and cough formulations. The drug is often abused illicitly for its psychoactive and stimulant effects. This Certified Spiking Solution® is applicable for use in many LC-MS/MS or GC/MS applications from clinical chemistry and forensic analysis to urine drug testing.

Application

A primary concern with the forensic analysis of the khat plant (Catha edulis) has been the need to preserve the principle psychoactive component, cathinone, which converts to the less-active substance, cathine, after harvesting. The loss of cathinone has serious legal

Each of the enantiomers of both norephedrine and norpseudoephedrine were stereoselectively prepared from the common, prochiral cyclic sulfamidate imine of racemic 1-hydroxy-1-phenyl-propan-2-one by employing asymmetric transfer hydrogenation (ATH) catalyzed by the well-defined chiral Rh-complexes, (S,S)- or (R,R)-Cp*RhCl(TsDPEN), and HCO(2)H/Et(3)N as

Here we contrast the vascular smooth muscle contractility produced by D-nor-pseudoephedrine, alone or combined with triiodothyronine, on the aorta and coronary vasculature of the rat. At high concentrations (greater than those found in normal therapeutic dosing) D-nor-pseudoephedrine contracted the aorta.
