title: Quantitative analysis of hydralazine pyruvic acid hydrazone, the major plasma metabolite of hydralazine.
abstract: A specific, high-performance liquid chromatographic technique for the measurement of hydralazine pyruvic acid hydrazone is described. This method utilized reversed-phase chromatography for the separation of this hydrophilic metabolite of hydralazine from other fluid constituents present in serum, plasma, or urine of human volunteers and rabbits receiving hydralazine. Detection of the compound of interest is accomplished spectrophotometrically at 250 nm.
