Sensitive quantification of chosen drugs by reversed-phase chromatography with electrochemical detection at a glassy carbon electrode

摘要

Reversed-phase-high-performance liquid chromatographic method with electrochemical detection has proven to be a highly sensitive and selective method for determination of trace components in complex biological samples, and the electrochemical detector becomes an important alternative tool to ultraviolet and fluorescence detectors. A rapid and sensitive method for the accurate determination of metoclopramide, hydrochlorothiazide, imipramine and diclofenac in serum or plasma samples is described. The method is based on liquid-liquid extraction. The compounds were separated on C-18 column as stationary phase with a different binary mixture as mobile phase. Proposed method was validated with respect to specificity, linearity range, limit of detection and quantitation, precision, accuracy and successfully applied in a pharmacokinetic studies.
