The chiral separation of baclofen (Bac) was obtained by nano-liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (nano-LC–MS/MS) using a 100 μm I.D. fused silica capillary column packed with silica particles chemically modified with vancomycin. Various experimental parameters, such as composition (buffer concentration, water content, organic modifier) and pH of the mobile phase and sample solvent were investigated for method optimization. In order to increase the sensitivity an on-column focusing procedure was applied. Acceptable separation of Bac enantiomers was obtained in less than 11 min eluting in isocratic mode, with 90:10 MeOH/water (v/v) containing 10 mM ammonium acetate at pH 4.5. These optimized experimental conditions were applied to the analysis of human plasma samples spiked with racemic mixture of Bac. The use of a Buckypaper disc as sorbent membrane allows one to recover both enantiomers with yields ≥ 65%. The method was fully validated, following the identification criteria of the European Commission Decision 2002/657/EC.

A systematic review summarizes the results of studies on the efficacy of myorelaxants (tolperisone, tizanidine, thiocolchicoside or baclofen) in the treatment of acute nonspecific low back pain published up to Dec. 2017. The authors conclude that there are enough data to confirm the efficacy of myorelaxants in treatment of nonspecific low back pain, myorelaxants are recommended as monotherapy or in combination with analgesics or NSAID, the nonsedative drugs tolperisone or thiocolchicoside should be preferred.
