A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method has been developed for measuring 18 beta-glycyrrhetinic acid (GRA) in human plasma in the range of 0.1-3 micrograms/ml. The acetate ester of GRA is added to the plasma as an internal standard, plasma proteins are denatured with urea to release GRA, and the GRA and the internal standard are extracted in an ion-pairing solid-phase extraction process. An isocratic, reversed-phase HPLC separation is used, followed by ultraviolet absorbance detection at 248 nm. The results from the analysis of five GRA-fortified plasma pools show a mean relative standard deviation of 7% and are accurate to within 10%. With evaporative concentration of the extract, the limit of detection for GRA in plasma is approximately 10 ng/ml.
