Abstract
Capillary gas chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry was employed to quantify zipeprol in biological fluids and tissues in a death attributed to oral zipeprol ingestion. The blood concentration of zipeprol was 6.69 mg/l. Hair analysis clearly indicated chronic drug abuse, with a concentration of 33.1 ng/mg. Results are discussed in the light of the existing literature.
