Summary

A lethal antazoline intoxication is reported and a method for isolation and determination of this compound and two hydrolysis products in autopsy material is described. Analytical findings in liver tissue, kidney tissue and blood are given. Definite identification of the compounds found was obtained by mass spectrometry.

Zusammenfassung

Ein Fall von tödlicher Vergiftung mit Antazolin und eine Methode zur Isolierung und Bestimmung dieser Verbindung und zweier Hydrolyseprodukte in Leichenmaterial wurden beschrieben. Es wurden die analytischen Ergebnisse aus dem Blut, Leberund Nierengewebe referiert. Die definitive Identifikation der Komponenten wurde mit Hilfe der Massenspektrometrie durchgeführt.
