A method for the determination of isosorbide-5-mononitrate (5-ISMN) in human plasma by capillary gas chromatography with electron-capture detection was developed and applied to clinical samples. 9-Fluorenone was used as an internal standard, ethyl acetate was employed for liquid-liquid extraction. The advantage of the extraction procedure is the possibility of a direct injection of the plasma extract, without solvent removal/reconstitution of the sample. The precision and accuracy of the method were satisfactory in the concentration range 10-1600 ng/ml. The lower limit of quantification was 10 ng/ml.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D002849	Chromatography, Gas	Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
