Aconite roots are popularly used in herbal medicines in China. Many cases of accidental and intentional intoxication with this plant have been reported; some of these are fatal because the toxicity of aconitum is very high. It is thus important to detect and identify aconitum alkaloids in biofluids.

โฆ Synopsis
4 insecticidal carbamates: 3-methyl, 5-isopropylphenyl N-methyl-carbamate (Promecarb), 4-methylthio, 3,5 dimethylphenyl N-methylcarbamate (Mesurol), 4-dimethyl-amino, 3,5 dimethylphenyl N-methylcarbamate (Zectran), and 4-benzothienyl N-methyl-carbamate (Mobam) were orally administered to male Wistar rats. The excretion of the unchanged products was followed in 24 hrs urine collections. The corresponding phenols of the different carbamates could be identified as metabolites by gas-chromatography-mass spectrometyr. These metabolites were quantified afterward by gas-liquid chromatography. In all cases only minor quantities of unchanged products and metabolites were excreted in the urine over the 48 hrs after administration.
