HPLC Method for Trimetazidine on Primesep 100 by SIELC Technologies
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Trimetazidine.
Trimetazidine (TMZ) is a medication with the chemical formula C14H22N2O3. It is taken to treat angina and other heart conditions. It inhibits the mitochondrial enzyme long-chain-3-ketoacyl-CoA thiolase which decreases fatty acids and shifts substrate utilization towards glucose oxidation. There is a debate within the sports and scientific communities about whether or not TMZ is a performance-enhancing drug. The World Anti-Doping Agency considers it to be a hormone and metabolic modulator.
Trimetazidine can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep 100 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a sulfuric acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
