Application


  • Chromatographic Analysis of Pentaerythritol Tetranitrate: A study developed a liquid chromatographic-mass spectrometric method for analyzing pentaerythritol tetranitrate metabolites, validating its application in both ovine serum and human plasma samples. This research supports the use of pentaerythritol tetranitrate in cardiovascular studies, enhancing drug metabolism research and pharmacokinetic profiling (Städtler et al., 2024).

  • Biomedical Applications of Block Copolymers: Research explored the block sequence effects on the self-assembly behaviors of polypeptide-based penta-block copolymer hydrogels. While not directly about pentaerythritol tetranitrate, the study emphasizes the potential of similar nitrate compounds in developing pharmaceutical hydrogels and drug delivery systems, showcasing innovative materials in pharmacological research (Wang et al., 2024).
