title: Screening and identification of sumatriptan and its main metabolite by means of thin-layer chromatography, ultraviolet spectroscopy and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry.
abstract: Sumatriptan (CAS 103628-46-2, 3-[2-(dimethylamino)ethyl]-N-methyl-1H-indole-5-methanesulphonamide++ +), a substance for treatment of acute migraine attacks, and its main metabolite are investigated by thinlayer chromatography (TLC), ultraviolet spectroscopy, and gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The resulting analytical data (correlated hRf-values, UV solvent spectra, remission spectra, GC retention indices, and electron impact (EI) mass spectra) including an extraction procedure and different derivatization methods are presented. Their applicability is described for urine analysis.
