Biogenic amines in the brain of the American cockroach have been identified and quantified by an extraction-derivatisation procedure involving their reaction with ditrifluoromethylbenzoyl chloride (DTFMB) in the aqueous phase followed by extraction into an organic solvent, hydrolysis of phenolic esters and conversion of free hydroxyl groups to trimethylsilyl (TMS) ethers and subsequent analysis by gas chromatography-negative ion chemical ionisation mass spectrometry. The molecular ion of these DTFMB-TMS derivatives carried most of the ion current which made the method highly specific and gave a potential limit of detection below the picogram level. This method establishes unequivocally that the principal amines in cockroach brain are tyramine, p-octopamine, dopamine, 5-hydroxytryptamine and noradrenaline. In contrast to mammalian nervous tissue, the other positional isomers of octopamine, together with the isomeric synephrines, are absent.
