Gene Information

General description

Terazosin hydrochloride is used to treat hypertension and benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). It is metabolised in the liver. It might be associated with dizziness, headache and asthenia. Terazosin hydrochloride is linked to acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis.

Application

Terazosin hydrochloride has been used for orthogonality and similarity analysis using reversed-phase chromatographic studies5. Furthermore, terazosin has also been used for the evaluation of chemometric techniques to determine orthogonality and similarity in chromatographic methods6.

Biochem/physiol Actions

α1-adrenoceptor antagonist.

Several chemometric techniques were compared for their performance to determine the orthogonality and similarity between chromatographic systems. Pearson's correlation coefficient (r) based color maps earlier were used to indicate selectivity differences between systems. These maps, in which the systems were
