alpazolam metabolites

[twoci]

The predominant metabolites are (alpha)-hydroxy-alprazolam and a benzophenone derived from alprazolam. The biological activity of (alpha)-hydroxy-alprazolam is approximately one-half that of alprazolam. The benzophenone metabolite is essentially inactive. Plasma levels of these metabolites are extremely low, thus precluding precise pharmacokinetic description. However, their half-lives appear to be of the same order of magnitude as that of alprazolam. Alprazolam and its metabolites are excreted primarily in the urine.

Simply out of curiosity, how easy would it be to remove the hydroxy group from the alpha position and get alpazolam?

how are you going to get " (alpha)-hydroxy-alprazolam "

think about it

 

[BilZ0r]

From the urine I would geuss.

^ damn it

 

[splenda]

From the urine I would geuss.

Would the process be similar to that of a morphine-6-glucoronide extraction from urine?

I pray alprazolam will never be that difficult to acquire.
