The chromatographic isolation and characterisation of the four compounds present in the quaternary phenanthridine veterinary trypanocidal agent, isometamidium chloride hydrochloride (ISM), is reported. The isolated compounds were unambiguously characterised using spectroscopic (NMR, UV, IR and MS) methods as 3-amino-8-[3-(3-carbamimidoyl-phenyl)-triazenyl]-5-ethyl-6-phenylethidium (1a) and related isomers, 8-amino-3-[3-(3-carbamimidoyl-phenyl)-triazenyl]-5-ethyl-6-phenylethidium, 3,-8-diamino-7-[3-(3-carbamimidoyl-phenyl)-triazenyl]-5-ethyl-6-phenylethidium and 3,-8-bis[3-(3-carbamimidoyl-phenyl)-triazenyl]-5-ethyl-6-phenylethidium. During the course of this study, it was realised that the nature of the solvent used in the NMR study was critical as in DMSO-d(6) the quaternary group in the compounds was reduced to dihydro forms (e.g. 2a).
