High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of baclofen in plasma and urine of man after precolumn extraction and derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde. 1985

E W Wuis, and R J Dirks, and T B Vree, and E van der Kleyn

A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of the skeletal muscle relaxant baclofen in human plasma and urine is described. Cation-exchange extraction, precolumn derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde, and on-column concentration precede fluorimetric detection (excitation at 340 nm, emission at 460 nm). The precision of the assay was always better than 6%. Recoveries of standards added to plasma and urine were 92% and 93%, respectively. With a sample size of 0.5 ml, a detection limit of a few nanograms, and the possibility of analysing up to four samples per hour, this method is suitable for pharmacokinetic studies. An example is presented.

D001418 Baclofen A GAMMA-AMINOBUTYRIC ACID derivative that is a specific agonist of GABA-B RECEPTORS. It is used in the treatment of MUSCLE SPASTICITY, especially that due to SPINAL CORD INJURIES. Its therapeutic effects result from actions at spinal and supraspinal sites, generally the reduction of excitatory transmission.
