            Abstract

            Doxazosin is an important drug used to treat hypertension and prostatic hyperplasia. An enantiomeric (R)/(S) doxazosin
            mesylate mixture was complete characterized by NMR and additionally FT-IR spectroscopy techniques. Different NMR
            experiments were performed, such as APT, HSQC, and HMBC in order to confirm the NMR signals assignments. All the
            hydrogens and most of carbons atoms were assigned. In this context, the results reported here, consists in important
            information for identification and quality control of doxazosin mesylate.
