Preparation Note
200 mg of triamterene is soluble in 4 ml of warm formic acid and yields a clear, yellow-green solution. Triamterene is also soluble in DMSO (5.4 mg/ml), and in 45% (w/v) aqueous 2-hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (1.2 mg/ml). However, it is insoluble in water.
In competition sports, a diuretic is a substance widely prohibited by the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). In this paper, a sensitive, rapid and convenient analytical method for the determination of acidic [furosemide (FUROS) and bumetanide (BUMET)] and basic [triamterene (TRIAM)]
