Abstract
The blood levels attained at therapeutic oral doses of ICI 58 834 hydrochloride, a novel psychotropic agent, are adequately assayed by gas-liquid chromatography. The free base is extracted into benzene and converted to its heptafluorobutyrate derivative. The derivative is chromatographed on a column of 1% XE60 on Gas-Chrom Q and detected by electron capture. Recovery from blood is 80–90% and the minimum detectable level is about 20 ng compound ml−1 whole blood.
