title: [Gas chromatographic method with EC detection to determine isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-MN) in human serum and its pharmacokinetic parameters].
abstract: A simple, sensitive and precise capillary GC-ECD method was developed for the determination of isosorbide-5-mononitrate in human serum. Pharmacokinetic parameters of the drug was obtained from the human serum level-time curve measured. Serum samples were extracted with a mixture of ethyl ether-ethyl acetate (4:1), the upper phase was collected and evaporated to about 100 microliters under a gentle nitrogen stream. Isosorbide dinitrate was used as internal standard. With a human serum sample size of 200 microliters, the detection limit of IS-5-MN was found to be about 5 ng/ml, and the absolute recovery from 74% to 85%. The within-day and between-day relative standard deviation were less than 7% and 9%, respectively. This method was applied to the pharmacokinetic studies of IS-5-MN tablets from two different sources. Two sets of t1/2 (Ke), Tmax and AUC values obtained from 8 volunteers were tested statistically and no significant difference was found.
