title: Determination of the active metabolite of molsidomine in human plasma by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method, with ultraviolet detection, is proposed for the plasma determination of SIN-1, the active metabolite of molsidomine, which involves propoxycarbonyl derivatization. The internal standard is the ethoxycarbonyl derivative of SIN-1 (i.e. molsidomine). Derivatization and extraction are each performed in one step (2 min) with 70% yield. The nature of a by-product is discussed. The method provides rapid elution (less than 15 min), linearity over the range 0.4-200 ng/ml, day-to-day precision between 2.5 and 11.3% and a limit of determination of 0.5 ng/ml. This method is also suitable for the simultaneous determination of molsidomine and SIN-1. In this case the internal standard is an ethoxycarbonyl derivative of a piperazino-3-sydnonimine, a SIN-1 analogue.
