title: The determination of torasemide and metabolites in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of torasemide and two active metabolites is described. The assay uses a reversed-phase gradient system and UV-detection. Sample preparation includes deproteinisation and liquid-solid extraction incorporating an internal standard. Data on recovery, detection limits, precision and accuracy are presented. The presence of an unidentified metabolite also is reported.
