A simple and reliable method was developed for determining blood concentrations of tramiprosate using reversed‐phase HPLC with evaporative light scattering detection. The optimum evaporator and nebulizer temperatures for ELSD were set at 90 and 60°C respectively. The method was linear for a concentration range of 10–1000 µg/mL when 0.3 mL blood was used. The intra‐assay precision ranged from 1.84 to 5.24%, and the coefficient of variation (CV) for a quality control sample at 10 µg/mL was 5.24% with a bias of −9.50% from the target value. The inter‐assay precision ranged from 2.58 to 5.96%, and the CV for a quality control sample at 10 µg/mL was 5.96% with a bias of −7.50% from the target value. The method described here is suitable for management of tramiprosate in Alzheimer disease therapy. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
