The involvement of cytochrome P450 3A4 in the N-demethylation of L-alpha-acetylmethadol (LAAM), norLAAM, and methadone.
The N-demethylation of LAAM, norLAAM, and methadone has been investigated in human liver microsomes and microsomes containing cDNA-expressed human P450s. Gas chromatography/mass spectrometry methods… Expand

Alterations in the dopaminergic receptor system after chronic administration of cocaine
Several studies suggest that one of the most important factors contributing to cocaine dependence is an alteration in the actions of the neurotransmitter dopamine in the central nervous system. In… Expand

Fentanyl receptor assay. II. Utilization of a radioreceptor assay for the analysis of fentanyl analogs in urine.
A radioreceptor assay has been developed to measure fentanyl and fentanyl-like drugs in biological specimens. The assay is based on the competition of these drugs with [3H]fentanyl for opioid… Expand

Analysis of cocaine and its metabolites from biological specimens using solid-phase extraction and positive ion chemical ionization mass spectrometry.
An accurate and reliable gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric method was developed to analyze tissue, whole blood, plasma, and urine samples for cocaine (COC) and its major metabolites. COC,… Expand
