Abstract
A new sensitive and selective capillary column gas chromatographic method for the anti-cholinergic agent glycopyrronium bromide in human plasma is described. The procedure involves preliminary ion-pair extraction of the drug into dichloromethane, followed by concentration and analysis of the ion-pair complex by capillary column gas chromatography using a nitrogen-sensitive detector. The method depends on the thermal dequaternisation of the quaternary ammonium compound and can be used to detect 5 ng/ml in a 3-ml plasma sample. The assay procedure has been applied to the determination of the plasma concentration of glycopyrronium after intravenous administration to an anaesthetised patient.
