Abstract

We describe here solid-extraction and derivatisation methods of ${\beta}$-adrenoceptor blocking drugs used for the treatment of various cardiovascular disorders such as hypertension, angina pectoris and cardiac arrhythmia: propranolol, metoprolol, sotalol, timolol, oxprenolol, alpranolol, atenolol, pindolol. Solid-extraction and derivatisation methods are described involving the use of Bond Elut Certify cartridges, MSTFA and MBTFA. Gas chromatographic-mass spectrometry analysis(GC/MS) was carried out select-ion monitroing mode. (omitted)
