MethodsSubjects. Three male, methadone-tolerant subjects, ages 23-36 years, participated in the study. They hadbeen participating in the methadone maintenance program at t Attempts in this laboratory and elsewhereto prepare jV-des-methylmethadone chemically have to date always led to theisolation of 2. In unpublished studies we have carried out the in vitro enzym-atic demethylation of methadone andattempted to “trap” JV-des-methylmethadone with secondary amine trapping agents. Neverthe-less, only 2 was isolated. It is our feeling that Mdesmethylmethadone is sufficiently unstable so that it converts to 2 almost immediately following its in vivo formation.Man Alive Research, Inc., of Baltimore, Md., for a period of 4 months to 5 years. Each subject had a long history of multidrug abuse and was receiving a daily maintenance dosage of 80-100 mg of methadone. Urine samples were collected under supervision for 24 hr following administration of the daily dose of methadone. Each urinecollection was immediately frozen and was kept frozen at-10 until use because of the extreme sensitivity of the pyrrolidine metaboliteto air oxidation andbecause methadone urines kept at room temperature tend to develop artifacts that mimic the behavior of methadone N-oxide.
