[Determination of ethmozine in human plasma by high performance liquid chromatography and its pharmacokinetics].
Following detailed study, a rapid and sensitive assay for ethmozine in human plasma has been developed using reversed phase high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Plasma samples were prepared for analysis by addition of internal standard (5-chloro-2-amino-benzophenone) followed by protein precipitation using acetonitrile. Analytical column was a C18 Spherisorb. The mobile phase consisted of mathanol-water-triethylamine (70:30:0.4, v/v/v, pH 6.5). The column effluent was monitored at 268 nm. The calibration curve was linear in the range from 20 ng/ml to 4000 ng/ml with r = 0.9994. The detection limit of this method was 3 ng/ml. The method showed good precision and the analytical recovery of ethmozine from plasma was 90-105%. The relative standard deviations for within-day and between-day were 2.4-6.3% and 4.5-10.2% respectively. The plasma drug concentration-time course in man after oral administration of 400 mg after conformed to a 1-compartment open model with a first order absorption phase. Mean T1/2 value was 1.75 +/- 0.45 h.
