The status of the oxidative metabolism of L-tryptophan is usually evaluated by the determination of tryptophan metabolites in serum or urine and/or the activities of various oxidative enzymes in tissues. I have developed assays for serum kynurenine and hepatic tryptophan dioxygenase (TDO) activity b

Cocaethylene (benzoylecgonine ethyl ester or ethyl cocaine) is a transesterification product of cocaine and ethanol that has been observed in the urine of individuals using these drugs in combination. There is evidence that cocaethylene is pharmacologically active, and its formation in vivo may cont
The low turnover of caffeine in vitro by human liver microsomes makes the study of the metabolic pathways of this compound difficult. Analytical methods with high sensitivity and specificity are needed for the detection of its metabolic products. A method based on the on-line radiometric determinati
A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed to determine the levels of oxalic acid in the urine. This acid was extracted from urine with tri-n-butyl phosphate and converted into the fluorescent derivative by esterification with 9-anthryldiazomethane (ADAM). The reaction mix
