Abstract

Conditions of the simultaneous isolation of various types of zolpidem metabolites from samples of real urine by solid-phase extraction have been optimized. Various derivatives of zolpidem hydroxy- and carboxy-metabolites were obtained; their mass-spectral and gas-chromatographic characteristics have been studied. The results ensure the reliable identification of zolpidem metabolites by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for chemical toxicological and forensic investigations.
