Screening methods based on liquid chromatography (HPLC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) have been developed for the identification and determination of amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, and 3,4-methylenedioxyethylamphetamine in illicit tablets. Diethylpropione, (-)-ephedrine, and 3-amino-1-phenylbutane were also included in the study as

The metabolism and urinary elimination of both (-)-deprenyl and (+)-deprenyl have been studied. Gas-chromatographic analysis with mass specific detection indicated that the metabolism of (-)-deprenyl results in a large excess of methamphetamine compared to amphetamine, while the metabolism of (+)-deprenyl
