title: Determination of indeloxazine in plasma by liquid chromatography and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
abstract: Two methods have been developed for the quantitative determination of indeloxazine, a cerebral activator, in plasma by HPLC or GC-MS. After addition of viloxazine as the internal standard, indeloxazine was extracted from alkalinized plasma. In the HPLC method, the plasma extract was treated with 5-dimethylamino-1-naphthalenesulfonyl chloride and analyzed by HPLC with fluorescence detection. In the GC-MS method, the two plasma compounds were converted to their pentafluoropropionyl derivatives for selected-ion monitoring. The limits of detection were 5 and 2 ng/mL for the HPLC and GC-MS methods, respectively. When plasma samples obtained by giving indeloxazine hydrochloride to volunteers were analyzed by the two methods, good correlation between the data was obtained (r = 0.9901).
