Analysis of Amino-Caproic Acid by a Simple LCMS Method
6-Amino-N-Caproic Acid is an active pharmaceutical ingredient used in massive thrombolysis and proteolysis secondary to metastatic carcinoma of the prostate. It is also a potent in vitro inhibitor of fibrinolysis. After oral administration 6-Amino-N-Caproic Acid enhances the uptake of labeled Fibrinogen in both the Walker and Murphy tumors.
The drug is also used in treatment of ulcers and many other diseases. Chromatograms presented (A and B) show the retention of this basic molecule using a simple Isocratic LCMS Method. Observe that when the concentration of Acetonitrile increases the retention of 6-Amino-N-Caproic Acid also increases.
