General description

Amphetamine, a central nervous system stimulant, belongs to the phenethylamine clas. It is found in ADHD-treatment drugs such as Adderall®, Vyvanse®, and ProCentra®. It is also used for the treatment of narcolepsy. Because of its stimulant effect, amphetamine is used recreationally as a performance-enhancer and illicit drug. This stable-labeled internal standard is suitable for quantitation of amphetamine levels in urine, serum, or plasma by LC/MS or GC/MS for urine drug testing, clinical toxicology, forensic analysis, or sports testing.

Application


  • Amphetamine-d5 solution as a mass spectrometry internal standard: The deuterium-labeled amphetamine (amphetamine-d5) serves as a precise internal standard for mass spectrometry, enhancing the accuracy of quantitative analyses in forensic toxicology and pharmaceutical testing. This application is crucial for identifying and quantifying amphetamine in biological samples, as demonstrated in a method developed for detecting psychoactive drugs (Barone et al., 2023).

  • Stable isotope-labeled amphetamine for pharmaceutical research: Amphetamine-d5 is employed in pharmaceutical research to investigate the metabolic pathways of amphetamines. Its stable isotopic label allows for the tracking of amphetamine metabolites in complex biological matrices, offering insights into drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics (Alhazmi et al., 2020).

  • Deuterated amphetamine in analytical chemistry: As a high-purity analytical reference material, amphetamine-d5 is used to calibrate and validate chromatographic and mass spectrometric methods. This ensures the reliability and reproducibility of analytical assays in both clinical and forensic settings, critical for drug monitoring and therapeutic drug management (Mohamed et al., 2016).
