Characterization of Pitofenone by EI Mass Spectrometry and GC/MS System

摘要

Pharmaceutical residues in the environment, and their potential toxic effects, have been recognized as one of the emerging research area in the environmental chemistry. Pitofenone is a drug which has antispasmodic effect. This compound is included in few commercial pharmaceutical products as Spasmalgon, Baralgin, Boralgin or Litorgin and therefore after consume can reach the environment on the way of urban water treatment. For a quantitative determination in environmental matrix the chromatographic and mass spectrometric configuration is need. The paper presents a method based on gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric system for pitofenone determination in water matrix.
