Abstract

The LC/MS/MS method for the simultaneous determination of sildenafil and its active metabolite N-demethylsildenafil in human plama was developed. Sildenafil. its active metabolite and the internal standard. DA-8159 were extracted form human plasma by liquid-liquid partitioning. A reverse-phase HPLC separation was performed on Luna phenylhexyl column with the mixture of acetonitrile-5 mM ammonium formate (55:45. v/v) as mobile phase. (omitted)
