“…Several methods have been described for the determination of doxazosin in human plasma (Fouda et al, 1988;Cowlishaw and Sharman, 1985;Jackman et al, 1991). Owing to the quinazoline structure, most of published assays for doxazosin and its members, prazosin, terazosin alfuzosin and tamsulosin, have been based on a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) system with fluorescence detector (Cowlishaw and Sharman, 1985;Guinebault et al, 1986;Fouda et al, 1988;Jackman et al, 1991;Sekhar et al, 1998;Cheah et al, 2000;Macek et al, 2004). Although the method using special stationary phase, alumina-based column and glass-bead guard column with high-pH mobile phase was reported (Fouda et al, 1988), such columns may not be available in most laboratories and the mobile phase may deteriorate the columns and HPLC instrument.…”
