A simple and reproducible high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method was developed for methocarbamol analysis in human plasma. Methocarbamol and the internal standard (IS) were extracted by a protein precipitation method. Under isocratic separation condition the chromatographic run time was 3.0 min. The calibration curve was linear over a range of 150-12,000 ng/mL with good intraday assay and interday assay precision (CV%<10.9%). The method was proven to be sensitive and selective for the analysis of methocarbamol in human plasma for bioequivalence study.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008721 Methocarbamol A centrally acting muscle relaxant whose mode of action has not been established. It is used as an adjunct in the symptomatic treatment of musculoskeletal conditions associated with painful muscle spasm. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, p1206) Guaiphenesin Carbamate,Lumirelax,Ortoton,Parabaxin,Robaxin,Carbamate, Guaiphenesin
D009125 Muscle Relaxants, Central A heterogeneous group of drugs used to produce muscle relaxation, excepting the neuromuscular blocking agents. They have their primary clinical and therapeutic uses in the treatment of muscle spasm and immobility associated with strains, sprains, and injuries of the back and, to a lesser degree, injuries to the neck. They have been used also for the treatment of a variety of clinical conditions that have in common only the presence of skeletal muscle hyperactivity, for example, the muscle spasms that can occur in MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS. (From Smith and Reynard, Textbook of Pharmacology, 1991, p358) Centrally Acting Muscle Relaxants,Central Muscle Relaxants,Relaxants, Central Muscle

D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.
