Abstract

A procedure was developed for the analysis of cannabidiol (CBD) in blood plasma. Tetrahydrocannabidiol was used as an internal standard and was added prior to extraction. The plasma extracts were derivatized with pentafluorobenzyl bromide and the product purified on a mini-column of Florisil. The pentafluorobenzyl derivatives were then analyzed by gas chromatography on a 5% OV-225 column using an electron-capture detector. A detection limit of 50 ng CBD per ml of plasma was observed. The procedure was used to study the plasma level of CBD after its oral and intravenous administration to monkeys.
