Popis: Clobazam (CLB) is a benzodiazepine that is used in many types of epilepsy. Although therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of CLB is not routine, there is evidence that TDM may be of value in conditions where pharmacokinetic alterations are suspected. Therefore, determination of both CLB and its active metabolite concentrations is essential for TDM. Herein, we present a simple and practical method for determination of CLB and N-desmethylclobazam (NDMCLB) in human plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The drugs were extracted by hexane:dichloromethane (1:1, v/v) from 0.3 mL plasma. The separation was carried out with a C18 reverse phase column using a mobile phase of water:acetonitrile (57:43, v/v) pumped at 0.8 mL/min. The analytes were detected at 228 nm. The method was linear over the concentration range 20–500 ng/mL for CLB and 200–3000 ng/mL for NDMCLB. The intra-day coefficient of variation (CV) was
