IRIS Institutional Research Information System - AIR Archivio Istituzionale della Ricerca

IRIS è il sistema di gestione integrata dei dati della ricerca (persone, progetti, pubblicazioni, attività) adottato dall'Università degli Studi di Milano.

AIR nasce in UNIMI nel 2006 con lo scopo di raccogliere, documentare e conservare le informazioni sulla produzione scientifica dell'Università degli Studi di Milano e costituisce di fatto l'Anagrafe della ricerca dell'Ateneo.

A simple and rapid gas chromatographic/mass spectrometric method to determine plasma diclofenac was developed, which employs formation of the methyl ester with diazomethane. Methoxydiclofenac was used as the internal standard. Under the conditions used, the previously described partial cyclization of diclofenac to the indolone derivative was avoided. The limit of detection of plasma levels of diclofenac is 2 ng ml-1, which renders the method useful for clinical studies on oral, intravenous and rectal administration of the drug. The analysis is carried out by electron impact gas chromatography/mass spectrometry and can therefore be performed on the more common mass spectrometers. Linearity and reproducibility of the method were demonstrated by the high correlation coefficient of the calibration lines (r > 0.999) and from the low variation of of their slopes (coefficient of variation 3%) determined on different days, respectively. Pharmacokinetic parameters (area under curve = 1.8 +/- 0.26-mu-g h ml-1, t(max) = 1.5 +/- 0.5 h, C(max) = 734 +/- 82 ng ml-1 and terminal half-life = 0.88 +/- 0.52 h) determined from the plasma decay of diclofenac in three healthy subjects given a single oral dose of diclofenac were in good agreement with those reported in the literature.
