ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To develop the method for the determination of riluzole concentration in blood plasma.METH?ODS:Riluzole was extracted with diethyl ether.The residues were analyzed with a reverse phase HPLC system(Diamonsil TM C 18 column,250mm?4.6mm,5?m),with mobile phase of MeOH-0.03mol/L and NH 4 H 2 PO 4 (80∶20,V/V),UV detection wave length of265nm,flow rate of0.8ml/min.RESULTS:The linear coverage of Riluzole was5～1000ng/ml;the lowest detectable concentration was5ng/ml.The average recoveries of riluzole were99.51%,95.74%and97.12respectively.The within-day and between-day relative standard deviations were1.17%、6.48%(n=5)respectively.CONCLUSION:The met_ hod is sensitive,accurate,simple and reliable,and it can be applied to phamacokinetic studies.
