Quantification of U-47700 and its metabolites: N -desmethyl-U-47700 and N , N -didesmethyl-U-47700 in 12 autopsy blood samples employing SPE/LC –ESI-MS-MS

ConclusionsThe simultaneous quantification of U-47700,N-desmethyl-U-47700 andN,N-didesmethyl-U-47700 seems very useful to confirm the cause of death and to estimate antemortem interval. To our knowledge this is the first trial to measure phase I metabolites of U-47700 in authentic human blood samples.
