Popis: Metoprolol, 1-isopropylamino-3-[4-(2-methoxy-ethyl)-phenoxy]-2-propanol, is a b1-selective aryloxy propanolamine used in the treatment of cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, arrhythmia and heart failure (1). The drug is a lipophilic adrenoreceptor antagonist (b-blocker) with a short half-life. Various methods reported for the determination of metoprolol and its metabolites in human plasma include gas chromatography (GC) equipped with an electron capture detector (ECD) (2), nitrogen selective detector (NSD) (3), mass spectrometry (MS) detector (4, 5) and high performance liquid chromatography equipped with a ultra violet detector (6, 7), fluorescence detector (8–12), MS detector (13–15). Sample preparation for the extraction of metoprolol from human plasma is based on the solid phase extraction (4) and liquid-liquid extraction using dichloro methane (2, 8, 10, 12), n-butyl chloride (11) and mixture of dichloromethane and diethyl ether (2, 8).
