PHARMACOKINETICS OF FENTANYL IN NEONATES

Anesthesiology, 1984
The pharmacokinetics of fentanyl were studied in fourteen neonates undergoing major surgical procedures. Five patients were less than 1 day of age, seven were 1-4 days old, and two were 7-14 days old. Fentanyl was given intravenously, 10 micrograms/kg (n = 1), 25 micrograms/kg (n = 4), or 50 micrograms/kg (n = 9), and plasma concentrations measured at ...

High‐Throughput Drug Derivatization and Bioassay by Desorption Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry

ChemPlusChem, Accepted Article.
Adapting high‐throughput (HT) synthetic methods to the modification of drugs and to testing of their bioactivity should expedite drug discovery. Here, we demonstrate the applicability of HT desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (DESI MS) to achieve late‐stage functionalization (LSF) and so to rapidly generate a modified opioid library ...
