The detection and identiΓcation of degradation products of the chemical blister agent bis(2-chloroethyl) sulΓde, commonly known as mustard or HD, is important for the future destruction of the mustard stockpile for safety and environmental reasons. Because stored mustard tends to degrade via intramo

β¦ Synopsis
Standardized extracts of Ginkgo biloba leaves are mainly used in the treatment of peripheral and celebral circulation disorders, and also as a remedy against asthma, coughs, bladder inflammation, blenorrhagia and alcohol abuse. The leaf extracts contain biflavones, flavonol glycosides and terpene lactones. This paper reports a method based on liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray mass spectrometry for the analysis of terpenoids in G. biloba extracts. This method allows the rapid isocratic separation of underivatized ginkgolides (GA, GB, GC and GJ) and bilobalide at very low levels (10 pg on the column) and their quantitative detection by external standardization with relative standard deviations of 3 and 5% for intra-and inter-day analyses, respectively.
