Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Pharmacology

Context:

  • Beta-blockers are crucial cardiovascular drugs.
  • Accurate identification and quantification are vital for therapeutic monitoring and forensic analysis.
  • Existing methods may lack efficiency or sensitivity.

Purpose:

  • To develop and validate a rapid, reliable method for separating and identifying 13 common beta-blockers.
  • To compare the efficacy of different derivatization reagents for gas chromatography analysis.
  • To assess the method's applicability for analyzing beta-blockers in biological matrices.

Summary:

  • A method utilizing Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) and Gas Chromatography-Nitrogen Phosphorus Detection (GC/NPD) was established for 13 beta-blockers.
  • Trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), N-methyl-N-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MSTFA), and N,O-bis(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide (MBTFA) were evaluated for derivatization.
