A simple, selective and quantitative estimation of tranylcypromine using liquid chromatography and electrochemical detection with apomorphine as internal standard in human plasma is described. Sample preparation is done by liquid-liquid extraction. The absolute mean recovery of apomorphine is 95%, the recovery of tranylcypromine is 81%. This method gives a simple estimation method to assay plasma concentrations of tranylcypromine in the therapeutic range (5-200 ng/ml) with good reproducibility and linearity.
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.
