New electron-capture gas-liquid chromatographic method for the determination of mexiletine plasma levels in man. 1978

A Frydman, and J P Lafarge, and F Vial, and R Rulliere, and J M Alexandre

A method for the determination of mexiletine in human plasma by gas-liquid chromatography with electron-capture detection is described. Plasma samples are extracted at pH 12 with dichloromethane after addition of the internal standard, the 2,4-methyl analogue of mexiletine. A derivative is obtained using heptafluorobutyric anhydride; according to gas chromatography-mass spectrometry it is a monoheptafluorobutyryl compound. The minimum detectable amount of mexiletine is 5 pg. Accurate determinations of human plasma levels were performed after oral or intravenous treatment.
