Analysis of doxylamine N ‐oxide and pyrilamine N ‐oxide as synthetic standards and biologically derived metabolites by thermospray mass spectrometry (TSP/MS) provided [M + H] + ions for each metabolite. TSP/tandem mass spectrometry (TSP/MS/MS) of the [M + H] + ions provided fragment ions characteristic of these metabolites. In addition, TSP mass spectrometry and TSP/MS/MS analysis of ring‐hydroxylated N ‐desmethyldoxylamine, N ‐desmethylpyrilamine and O ‐dealkylated pyrilamine is also reported. A fragmentation pathway for analysis by MS/MS of pyrilamine and its metabolites is also proposed. The results demonstrate the utility of TSP/MS for biologically derived metabolites of pyrilamine and doxylamine.
