Because of their performance‐enhancing effect, anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are often misused in sports. Nearly half of the adverse analytical findings (AAF) in 2022 doping controls are correlated to AAS misuse. Metabolites play a crucial role in the bioanalysis of endogenous and exogenous steroids. Therefore, one important field in antidopin...

The aim of the study was a comprehensive and quantitative determination of salbutamol and its sulfoconjugated major metabolite in urine samples using achiral ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). Therefore, salbutamol-4′-O-sulfate was biosynthesized as a reference using genetically modified fission yeas...

It was the aim of this study to compare the ratio of salbutamol and its major metabolite salbutamol-4’-O-sulfate as well as the quantity excreted renally after oral and inhalative administration. Additionally, the excretion pattern after application of racemic salbutamol opposed to the pure enantiomer levosalbutamol was evaluated. For quantitation...

In anti-doping science, the knowledge of drug metabolism is a prerequisite to identify analytical targets for the detection of misused prohibited substances. As the most obvious way to study xenobiotic metabolism, the administration to human volunteers, faces ethical concerns, there is a need for model systems. In the present study, we investigated...

In this study a heart-cutting 2D-LC method was successfully developed and optimized in order to discriminate and quantitate (S)-propranolol, (R)-propranolol, and its hydroxy metabolites, namely the isomeric (S)-4′‑hydroxy propranolol, (R)-4′‑hydroxy propranolol, (S)-5′‑hydroxy propranolol, (R)-5′‑hydroxy propranolol, (S)-7′-hydroxy propranolol, and...
