A review of chromatographic methods for the determination of 2,3-benzodiazepines (2,3-BZs) is presented. The determinations are performed to investigate the presence of potential impurities in drug substances and to study their pharmacokinetic profile in biological samples, either in animals or in humans. Several methods dealt with a pretreatment of samples, i.e., liquid-liquid extraction by using a variety of solvents, solid-phase extraction, direct injection of specimens into the chromatographic apparatus. Different chromatographic techniques have been used. High-performance liquid chromatography allows optimal sensitivity and specificity by using ultraviolet or diode array detection methods. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorous or electron-capture detectors have been also reported. Suitable methods for the separation of enantiomers of 2,3-BZs have been described. Thin-layer chromatography has been shown to be capable to isolate analytes from biological samples as urine or faeces. The reported chromatographic techniques are currently applied to define the metabolic pathways of 2,3-BZs in experimental and clinical studies

Abstract
A review of chromatographic methods for the determination of 2,3-benzodiazepines (2,3-BZs) is presented. The determinations are performed to investigate the presence of potential impurities in drug substances and to study their pharmacokinetic profile in biological samples, either in animals or in humans. Several methods dealt with a pretreatment of samples, i.e., liquid-liquid extraction by using a variety of solvents, solid-phase extraction, direct injection of specimens into the chromatographic apparatus. Different chromatographic techniques have been used. High-performance liquid chromatography allows optimal sensitivity and specificity by using ultraviolet or diode array detection methods. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and gas chromatography with nitrogen-phosphorous or electron-capture detectors have been also reported. Suitable methods for the separation of enantiomers of 2,3-BZs have been described.
