Abstract
In this work, the modified attachment energy model was used to predict the crystal morphology of isosorbide mononitrate (ISMN) in the dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) solvent system and dichloromethane-n-hexane (CH2Cl2-C6H14) mixed solvent system. The solvent effect can significantly affect the crystal morphology, which can profoundly impact both the drug's physicochemical properties and the subsequent technological treatment process. In addition, the interactions between solvent molecules and crystal faces were investigated using molecular dynamics simulation, and radial distribution function (RDF) analysis was performed to determine the types of interactions. The structural parameter S was introduced to characterize the roughness of each crystal surface; the change in the CH2Cl2 diffusion coefficient before and after the addition of C6H14 was analyzed using mean square displacement (MSD). The calculation results of the modified attachment energy from the two solvent systems revealed that C6H14 could accelerate crystal growth, while the crystal morphology was not greatly affected, which is of some significance as a guide for the industrial crystallization process.

Abstract
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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The sympathetic nervous system (SNS) is an important regulator of cardiovascular function. Activation of SNS plays an important role in the pathophysiology and the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases such as heart failure, acute coronary syndromes, arrhythmia, and possibly hypertension. Vasodilators such as adenosine and sodium nitroprusside are known to activate SNS via baroreflex mechanisms. Because vasodilators are widely used in the treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases, the aim of the present study was to assess the influence of clinically used dosages of isosorbide dinitrate and captopril on sympathetic nerve activity at rest and during stimulatory maneuvers. METHODS AND RESULTS Twenty-eight healthy volunteers were included in this double-blind placebo-controlled study, and muscle sympathetic nerve activity (MSA; with microelectrodes in the peroneal nerve), blood pressure, heart rate, and neurohumoral parameters were measured before and 90 minutes after the oral administration of 40 mg isosorbide dinitrate or 6.25 mg captopril. Furthermore, a 3-minute mental stress test and a cold pressor test were performed before and 90 minutes after drug administration. Resting MSA did not change after captopril and decreased compared with placebo (P < .05 versus placebo), whereas isosorbide dinitrate led to a marked increase in MSA (P < .05). Systolic blood pressure was reduced by isosorbide dinitrate (P < .05), whereas captopril decreased diastolic blood pressure (P < .05). The increases in MSA, blood pressure, and heart rate during mental stress were comparable before and after drug administration regardless of the medication. During cold pressor test, MSA and systolic and diastolic blood pressures increased to the same degree independent of treatment, but after isosorbide dinitrate, the increase in MSA seemed to be less pronounced. Heart rate did not change during cold stimulation. Plasma renin activity increased after captopril and isosorbide dinitrate (P < .05), whereas placebo had no effect. Endothelin-1 increased after placebo and isosorbide dinitrate (P < .05) but not after captopril. CONCLUSIONS Thus, captopril suppressed MSA despite lowering of diastolic blood pressure but allowed normal adaptation of the SNS during mental or physical stress. In contrast, the nitrate strongly activated the SNS under baseline conditions. These findings demonstrate that vasodilators differentially interact with the SNS, which could be of importance in therapeutic strategies for the treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases.

Abstract
A procedure is described for the extraction of isosorbide-5-mononitrate from serum with diethyl ether-n-butyl acetate (15:1, v/v). After extraction, the diethyl ether is evaporated at room temperature and the nitrate remains dissolved in the relatively non-volatile n-butyl acetate phase. Glassware must be used throughout as the recovery of isosorbide-5-mononitrate is not reproducible when plastic tubes or plastic pipettes are used. The extraction recovery of isosorbide-5-mononitrate from serum is 67 +/- 7%, measured relative to external standards.

Abstract
The objective of this study was to determine both the pharmacokinetic parameters and the bioavailability of two commercial 20-mg isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-MN) preparations (test and reference preparation) after single oral administration. For this purpose, the test and the reference preparation were examined in 24 healthy male volunteers according to a randomized 2-way cross-over design, blood samples were withdrawn up to 24 hours postadministration, and plasma concentrations of IS-5-MN were quantified by a gas chromatography (GC) method. Both preparations led to peak plasma levels of approximately 360 ng/mL IS-5-MN in the mean 0.76 hour (test) and 0.94 hour (reference preparation) after application; the plasma half-lives were about 5.2 hours, and for the areas under the curve (AUC(0-infinity)), mean values of 2741 (test preparation) and 2742 hour.ng/mL (reference preparation) were found. The statistical comparison (analysis of variance, confidence intervals) of the pharmacokinetic parameters found in the study resulted in bioequivalence of both IS-5-MN preparations. The undesired side effects/concomitant symptoms observed are known to occur after IS-5-MN administration.

Abstract
Pharmacokinetics of 20 mg isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-MN) after single and multiple administration of two different tablet formulations were investigated in twelve healthy human subjects using an open, randomized, two-way crossover experimental design. Pentacard 20 mg tablets were compared with Ismo 20 mg tablets. After single-dose administration, both preparations caused a rapid increase in IS-5-MN plasma levels with the peak plasma concentration occurring between 0.5 and 1.5 h. For both formulations, the mean plasma half-life was found to be approximately 5 h after a single dose. In steady state during multiple dosing (t.i.d. at 8 h dosing intervals), a reduced elimination rate was observed. In line with this observation, the area under the plasma concentration-time curve (AUC) for one 8 h dosing interval during multiple dosing was higher than the extrapolated AUC after a single dose. Based on statistical evaluation of the various relevant pharmacokinetic parameters calculated from the plasma concentrations occurring after single and multiple dosing, the tablet formulations are judged to be bioequivalent.

Abstract
A specific, sensitive and precise capillary gas chromatographic method using electron-capture detection was developed for the determination of four isomeric vasodilating organic mononitrates, viz. L-isoidide mononitrate (L-IIMN), isosorbide-2-mononitrate (IS-2-MN), isomannide mononitrate (IMMN) and isosorbide-5-mononitrate (IS-5-MN), in rat plasma. With a sample size of 100 microliters of rat plasma, the detection limits were found to be between 0.5 and 2 ng/ml for these mononitrates, and the absolute recovery was found to range from 83 to 90%. The within-day coefficients of variation for the assay of the four isomers were less than 5%, while the between-day coefficients of variation were less than 10%. Because of the short retention times of these isomers in this assay, routine analyses of about sixty plasma samples per day can be carried out. The possibility of in vivo interconversion among these four isomers in rats was investigated after individual administration of each isomer. No interconversion was found based on examination of plasma samples. The gas chromatographic method was applied to the pharmacokinetic studies of these four isomers in rats; at an intravenous dose of 2 mg/kg, the biological half-lives of L-IIMN, IMMN, IS-2-MN and IS-5-MN were found to be 13.2, 25.2, 54.6 and 112 min, respectively.

Abstract
This work describes how gel permeation chromatography (GPC) can be used for sample clean-up to reduce the fouling of the column in an automated on-column injector. The analytes were isolated from plasma together with the internal standard (isomannide dinitrate) by liquid-liquid extraction on Extrelut silica columns. The extracts were evaporated and reconstituted in tetrahydrofuran for separation of the analytes from non-volatile plasma components by GPC on a styrene-divinylbenzene column with 100 A pore size. A programmable autosampler with an additional three-way valve was used for injection and fraction collection. The molecular weight fraction between 100 and 700 a.m.u. was collected and transferred to the on-column autosampler for capillary gas chromatography on a 30-m column butt-connected to a 0.2-m pre-column. The pre-column was replaced after 50 sample injections. When the GPC purification was excluded from the work-up procedure a deposit of non-volatile components was formed at the injection zone of the pre-column which resulted in excessive peak-tailing after only five or six injections of plasma extract. The limit of determination was 0.2 ng/ml plasma for isosorbide dinitrate and 0.4 ng/ml for the mononitrates.

Abstract
There is increasing evidence that constant nitrate plasma levels, as induced by at least three-times-daily ingestions of isosorbide dinitrate in sustained-release form, lead to an attenuation or even complete loss of the anti-ischemic effects (nitrate tolerance). Therefore, the dependence of tolerance development on dosage intervals according to once-daily and twice-daily ingestions was assessed. Tablets of isosorbide dinitrate (80 mg) in sustained-release form were administered once-daily at 8 A.M. (dosage interval 24 hours) or twice-daily at 8 A.M. and 8 P.M. (dosage interval 12 hours), as well as at 8 A.M. and 2 P.M., respectively (maximal dosage interval 18 hours). A total of 34 patients with angiographically proven coronary artery disease, a history of stable, exercise-dependent angina pectoris, and a reproducible, exercise-induced ST-segment depression of at least 0.15 mV (1.5 mm), who initially showed a response to 80 mg of isosorbide dinitrate, were enrolled. The anti-ischemic effects of isosorbide dinitrate on exercise-induced ischemia were objectively determined by the measurement of exercise-induced ST-segment depression before as well as two, six, and 12 hours after the ingestion at the first and the 15th day of the studies. Since the dosage interval of 12 hours resulted in constant plasma levels, the initially beneficial anti-ischemic effects of isosorbide dinitrate were considerably attenuated after two weeks of treatment. In contrast, the once-daily regimen with its intermittent peaks and valleys of nitrate plasma levels showed identical anti-ischemic effects at the 15th day as compared with the first day. Ingestions at 8 A.M. and 2 P.M. also circumvented the development of nitrate tolerance, however, combined with an even more pronounced anti-ischemic effect after 12 hours as compared with the once-daily regimen. Thus, the circumvention of nitrate tolerance requires a daily "nitrate-poor" interval. The best compromise between a maximal possible anti-ischemic effect and the circumvention of tolerance development was found for the "eccentric" dosage regimen in which the tablets were ingested in the morning and early afternoon.

Abstract
Methods for the determination of cardiovascular drugs in blood and plasma are critically reviewed with emphasis on gas and liquid chromatographic techniques. The importance of the various procedures is discussed, in particular sample work-up where the conditions for isolation and derivatization of the compounds are decisive for the accuracy and precision of the methods. Compared with other assay techniques chromatographic methods are generally to be preferred owing to their better selectivity. In the review the following groups are discussed: digitalis glycosides, antiarrhythmic agents, beta-adrenoceptor antagonists, vasodilating agents, antihypertensive compounds, and diuretics.
