摘要

The quantitative determination of the quaternary spasmolytic compound ciclotropium and its metabolite N-isopropyltropinium is described for human plasma and urine. The analytical procedure consists of ion-pair extraction from biological material, alkaline hydrolysis, subsequent derivatization with the fluorophor flunoxaprofen chloride and separation by high-performance liquid chromatography on a reversed-phase column with fluorimetric monitoring. The detection limits of 0.5 ng/ml in plasma and 10 ng/ml in urine at signal-to-noise ratios higher than 3 permit the determination of pharmacokinetic parameters after therapeutic doses.
