Flurazepam and three of its metabolic products (desalkyl, hydroxyethyl, and aldehyde metabolites) can be simultaneously quantitated without derivatization by gas chromatography with electron capture detection. After addition of a suitable internal standard, unknown biological samples and calibration standards are extracted at neutral pH into benzene/isoamyl alcohol. The reconstituted extract is chromatographed at 275 degrees C with a 10% OV-101 liquid phase, which allows resolution of all 5 compounds. In some cases a 1% OV-225 liquid phase is used for quantitation of hydroxyethylflurazepam. The method is sufficiently sensitive and reproducible for use in clinical and experimental pharmacokinetic studies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
