High-performance liquid chromatography retention data for 84 basic drugs of forensic interest on a silica column using an aqueous methanol eluent.

High-performance liquid chromatography retention characteristics have been measured for 84 basic drugs of forensic interest using a silica column with a methanol-aqueous ammonium nitrate eluent. The drugs are from two classes of major interest, namely, the narcotic analgesics (including antagonists, metabolites and analogues) and drugs structurally and pharmacologically related to amphetamine.
