Aceclofenac {[2-(2',6'-dichlorophenyl)amino]phenylacetoxyacetic acid} is a phenylacetic acid derivative with potent analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties and an improved gastro-intestinal tolerance. In the present study, a liquid-liquid extraction-based reversed-phase HPLC method with UV detection was validated and applied for the analysis of aceclofenac and three of its metabolites (4'-hydroxy-aceclofenac, diclofenac, 4'-hydroxy-diclofenac) in human plasma. The analytes were separated using an acetonitrile phosphate buffer gradient at a flow rate of 1 mL/min, and UV detection at 282 nm. The retention times for aceclofenac, diclofenac, 4'-hydroxy-aceclofenac, 4'-hydroxy-diclofenac and ketoprofen (internal standard) were 69.1, 60.9, 46.9 28.4 and 21.2 min, respectively. The validated quantitation range of the method was 10-10,000 ng/mL for aceclofenac, 4'-hydroxy-aceclofenac and diclofenac, and 25-10,000 ng/mL for 4'-hydroxy-diclofenac. The developed procedure was applied to assess the pharmacokinetics of aceclofenac and its metabolites following administration of a single 100 mg oral dose of aceclofenac to three healthy male volunteers.
