Pharmacokinetics of diphenidol (DPN) is limited due to the lack of analytical methodology. Here, a micro‐assay for DPN quantification was developed, by coupling ultra‐performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry. The procedure involved plasma precipitation and injection of supernatant into UPLC with an Acquity™ C 18 column. Detection was in positive electrospray, following transitions of m/z 310.3 → 292.3 and m/z 275.3 → 230.2 for DPN and chlorphenamine (internal standard), respectively. The method was linear with a range of 4–400 ng/mL, and a 2 min run time. This method was applied in a switchability trial, where both formulations of DPN were bioequivalent.
