“…4‐Chloro‐7‐nitrobenzo‐2‐oxa‐1,3‐diazole (NBD‐Cl) was used as a derivatization reagent in the spectrofluorometric determination of many pharmaceutical amines including lisinopril. However, the method sensitivities were not adequate for pharmacokinetic applications owing to low reaction yield (El‐Enany, El‐Sherbiny, & Belal, ; Olojo, Xia, & Abramson, ; Saleh, El‐Henawee, Ragab, & El‐Hay, ; Song, Funatsu, & Tsunoda, ; Taha, Salama, & Fattah, ). NBD‐F is a more reactive fluorescent derivatization reagent which has attracted interest in the field of amino acid and peptide analysis (Higashi, Matsumura, & Fujii, ; Li et al, ; Song et al, ).…”
