Abstract Simple, selective and sensitive high‐performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) bioanalytical methods using fluorescence (FL) and photodiode array (PDA) detectors were developed and validated for determination of piribedil (PBD), an anti‐Parkinson's drug, in rat plasma and brain samples, with telmisartan as internal standard (IS). Protein precipitation technique was used to extract PBD from both biological matrices. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Phenomenex Kinetex C 18 end‐capped column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm), with 38:62 v /v acetonitrile and ammonium acetate buffer (pH 5.0) as mobile phase at 1.0 mL/min flow rate. Linear response in the concentration ranges 5–300 and 150–3000 ng/mL in plasma, and 15–900 and 450–9000 ng/g in brain tissue were achieved in FL and PDA detectors, respectively. The chromatograms were extracted at 239 nm in case of PDA detection and at excitation wavelength of 239 nm and emission wavelength of 385 nm in case of FL detection. FL detection was found to be more sensitive compared with PDA detection. The developed methods were successfully employed in determining the plasma time course, brain distribution and the pharmacokinetic parameters of PBD following intravenous bolus administration of the drug in male Wistar rats.
