A sensitive visual method for the thin-layer chromatography of beta-adrenergic blocking drugs is described. The Rf values and the detection limits of eleven beta-blockers extracted from urine and as pure drugs are given. Other commonly used cardiovascular drugs are shown not to interfere with the method. The procedure is applicable to both urine and liver extracts.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
