Abstract
A micromethod of diazepam determination of 0.1 ml of whole blood is proposed. The extraction is made with n-heptane for the isolation of diazepam in the presence of principal metabolites. For the usual concentrations, the precision is about 3%; at the detection limit, 0.05 .mu.g/ml, it is about 20%. With this method the pharmacokinetics of diazepam were studied in [human] neonates with convulsive diseases and compared with ECG results.
