General description

A certified Snap-N-Spike® solution suitable as starting material in calibrators or controls in LC/MS or GC/MS n-desmethylzopiclone testing methods for applications such as urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, or forensic analysis. N-desmethylzopiclone is a primary, inactive metabolite of zopiclone in urine and blood. The parent drug, zopiclone, is a non-benzodiazepine hypnotic used in the treatment of insomnia.

Application

<ul>
<li><strong>Pharmacokinetic study of zopiclone metabolites:</strong> An in-depth examination of pharmacokinetics, focusing on zopiclone and its metabolites, including N-Desmethylzopiclone, to assess their distribution in hair samples post-administration it is used as an additional marker to confirm the intake of zopiclone (Hansen et al., 2020).</li>
<li><strong>Enantioselective analysis after biotransformation:</strong> The study developed a new and rapid method for the enantioselective analysis of N-Desmethylzopiclone, using fungal biotransformation, crucial for understanding metabolic pathways and anxiolytic activity in pharmaceutical research(de Albuquerque et al., 2015).</li>
<li><strong>Validation of analytical methods for forensic application:</strong> A validated LC-MS/MS method for determining zopiclone, N-Desmethylzopiclone, and other related compounds in blood, providing a reliable tool for forensic and clinical toxicology analyses (Nilsson et al., 2015).</li>
<li><strong>Quantitative analysis in urine:</strong> A comprehensive study on the quantitative analysis of zopiclone and its derivatives, including N-Desmethylzopiclone, in urine using LC-MS-MS, supporting drug monitoring and toxicological investigations (Nilsson et al., 2014).</li>
</ul>
