Development of methods for the detection of the misuse of the aromatase inhibitors anastrozole, letrozole and Vorozole in Urine

Project Title: Development of methods for the detection of the misuse of the aromatase inhibitors anastrozole, letrozole and vorozole in urine

Researchers: W. Schänzer, U. Mareck

Institution: German Sport University, Cologne, Germany

Year accepted: 2003

Summary: The aim of the study is to develop mass spectrometric methods for the detection of the misuse of the non steroidal aromatase inhibitors anastrozole, letrozole and vorozole in urine. If possible the methods should be comprehensive methods for the simultaneous detection of several aromatase inhibitors and should be added to existing screening procedures of doping analysis.
