Analysis and Identification of Azaperone and Its Metabolites in Humans

Abstract
Azaperone, dihydroazaperone, and 4′[fluoro-4-(4-(2-pyridyl)-1-piperazinyl]butyrophenone are identified in the urine of an intoxicated patient. The structures of the metabolites were confirmed by comparison of their TLC, GC, and GC/MS data with those of synthesized materials.
