Popis: mass spectrometry in the column bypass mode and with 0.1M ammonium acetate/methanol (80:20, v/v) as the mobile phase. Typically, the parent antihistamines produced only (MH)' ions under these conditions. The N-oxides provided strong (MH)' ions and multiple fragment ions. A scheme to explain the fragmentation patterns is proposed. metabolites of compounds of toxicological interest. The N- oxides have been found to be one of the major types of non- conjugated metaholites of various antihistamines (6-8). Therefore, it is important that any analytical method for the analysis of the metabolites of antihistamines performs well for the N-oxides of these compounds. Korfmacher et al. (19) have shown recently that TSMS is a useful technique for the analysis of doxylamine, pyrilamine, and several of their metabolites, in- cluding their N-oxides. The decision to investigate the TSMS methodology for the analysis of other antihistamines and their N-oxide derivatives was based on those results. This report describes the TSMS analysis of three ethylenediamine an- tihistamines and their N-oxides and compares the results to those previously reported for the TSMS analysis of pyrilamine.
