This paper presents a rapid, simple and economical method for assaying pindolol concentrations in plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography using ultraviolet detection. It is sensitive enough for use in single-dose pharmacokinetic studies and may also be used to determine pindolol concentrations in the plasma from patients taking the drug, provided that the patient is not taking any of the drugs which interfere with the method. Drugs which were found to interfere with the pindolol peak are quinidine, n-acetylprocainamide and lidocaine. Disopyramide, oxprenolol and levobunolol interfered with the internal standard peak.

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.
