NMR determination of isosorbide dinitrate and beta-adrenergic blocking agents in tablets.

An NMR spectroscopic method for the determination of isosorbide dinitrate, alone or together with alprenolol or propranolol, is described. Spectra are determined in dimethyl sulfoxide-d6 containing maleic acid or 1,4-dinitrobenzene as internal standards. Both synthetic mixtures and commercial formulations were assayed, and the results were compared using compendial procedures.
