Abstract: | A study of the equine phase II metabolism of the anabolic agent boldenone is reported. Boldenone sulfate, boldenone glucuronide and their C17-epimers were synthesised as reference standards in our lab and a method was developed for their detection in a horse urine matrix. Solid phase extraction was used to purify the analytes, which were then detected by ion trap LC/MS. Negative and positive ionisation mode MS(2) were used for the detection of sulfate and glucuronide conjugates, respectively. Boldenone sulfate and 17-epiboldenone glucuronide were detected as the major and minor phase II metabolites, respectively, in horse urine samples collected following the administration of boldenone undecylenate by intramuscular injection. |
