Rapid determination of sildenafil and its analogues in dietary supplements using gas chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

Application of gas chromatography–triple quadrupole mass spectrometry for identification, confir-mation and quantification of 6 phosphodiesterase-5 (PDE-5) inhibitors (sildenafil, dimethylsildenafil,homosildenafil, thiosildenafil, thiodimethylsildenafil and thiohomosildenafil) in dietary supplements...
