Abstract |
Escitalopram (fig. 1) is an oral drug that is used for treating depression and generalized anxiety disorder. It works by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain, the chemical messengers that nerves use to communicate with one another. Neurotransmitters are made and released by nerves and then travel to other nearby nerves where they attach to receptors on the nerves. Some neurotransmitters that are released do not bind to receptors and are taken up by the nerves that produced them [1].
fig. 1 An optimization of the method for the separation of the previously selected intermediate products by High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is described. The determination of the chemical identity of the isolated compounds was performed. Different spectroscopy methods were used for this propose: Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR). [1] E. Saltiel, Pharm D. MedicineNet.Com |
