A method which involves the use of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) for the identification of drug metabolites has been demonstrated with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. The method is based on the fact that metabolites usually retain various substructures of the original drug molecule. MS/MS

## Abstract The cytotoxic drug cyclopentenyl cytosine (CPEC) is currently being investigated in early clinical trials. Monitoring of plasma levels is required for pharmacokinetic analysis and management of toxicity. This paper describes the analysis of CPEC and cyclopentenyl uracil (CPEU) in plasma
The structural identification of drug metabolites has been carried out using thermospray liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). It has allowed the direct analysis of biological samples, in this case in vitro hepatocyte incubations, with the minimum of sample preparation. The technique also
