The use of micellar liquid chromatography for the determination of diuretics in pharmaceutical preparations is studied. Micellar mobile phases containing sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), with and without different alcohols, are considered in order to determine the most appropriate combination. The elution behaviour of each diuretic in an unmodified micellar mobile phase is related to the solute-micelle association constants and the stationary phase-water partition coefficients. Diuretics of high, intermediate and low efficacy, contained in several pharmaceutical preparations, are determined using a 0.05 mol dm-3 SDS-3% propanol micellar mobile phase and a CI8 column.
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.
