Abstract

A rapid HPLC method for the quantification of nimodipine in mouse plasma and tissues has been developed in this study, with simple procedure of sample preparation by one‐step protein precipitation. The results of HPLC analysis indicated that linear calibration curves were obtained over the concentration range 0.10–10.00 µg/ml for plasma, 0.10–20.00 µg/g for heart, liver, spleen, kidneys, and brain, and 1.00–200.00 µg/g for lung, respectively. The desirable precision and accuracy were achieved, both intraday and interday for plasma and tissue homogenates. Thus, this newly developed procedure was successfully applicable for determination of nimodipine in mouse plasma and tissues following intravenous administration of free and novel niosome‐entrapped nimodipine.

The authors are very grateful to the Department of Pharmacology in China Pharmaceutical University for their technical assistance in animal experiments.
