SENSITIVE, HIGH-THROUGHPUT AND ENANTIOSELECTIVE QUANTITATION OF ZOPICLONE IN HUMAN PLASMA BY LCMS/MS: APPLICATION TO A HUMAN PHARMACOKINETIC STUDY

Zopiclone (ZPC), a cyclopyrrolone derivative, is a short-acting hypnotic agent. Its pharmacological properties include hypnotic, sedative, anxiolytic, anticonvulsant and muscle-relaxant actions. ZPC has a single chiral centre, and its enantiomers are S-zopiclone (S-ZPC) and R-zopiclone (R-ZPC). S-ZPC was adjudge to possess two- fold enhanced pharmacological activity than racemate (ZPC) while its o...
