Abstract: | This paper describes a highly specific and sensitive method for quantifying oxazepam and its diastereoisometric glucuronides in serum. The method involves sample clean-up by solid-phase extraction on C18 cartridge followed by quantitation on a reversed-phase HPLC column. Diazepam is used as internal standard. Extraction recovery from serum proved to be more than 86%. Precision, expressed as C.V., was in the range 1.2–9.5%. The limits of quantification were 40, 400, and 200 nmol/l for oxazepam, S-(+)- and R-(−)-glucuronides, respectively. This method was applied to the determination of oxazepam and its diastereoisometric glucuronides in serum collected during a pharmacokinetic study performed in sheep after oral administration of racemic oxazepam. S-(+)/R-(−) ratios were measured all along the sampling time collection and the pharmacokinetic parameters were determined. |
