To investigate the occurrence and fate of ritalinic acid - the main human metabolite of the psychostimulant drug methylphenidate - in the aquatic environment, a HPLC-electrospray-MS/MS method for the quantification of ritalinic acid in wastewater, surface water and bank filtrate
Journal of chromatography. B, Biomedical applications, 658(2), 380-384 (1994-08-19)
Two analytical methods for the simultaneous detection in urine of methylphenidate and its main metabolite, ritalinic acid, are described. Both procedures are based on solid-phase extraction of urine samples on Bond Elut Certify columns, and capillary gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric detection
This study was to develop and validate a new chiral HPLC-UV method for the quantitative analysis of enantiomeric ritalinic acid (RA) in human plasma. An alpha1-acid glycoprotein column was used with the mobile phase containing 0.4% acetic acid and 0.1%
Methylphenidate (MPH) is a stimulant medication widely used for treating attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) in children and adolescents. Therapeutic monitoring for this drug is essentially lacking and alternative biological matrices, such as oral fluid and sweat, should be investigated for
Methylphenidate is a frequently prescribed stimulant for the treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). An important assumption in the animal models that have been employed to study methylphenidate's effects on the brain and behavior is that bioavailability of methylphenidate
