title: High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of plasma propylthiouracil.
abstract: A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis was developed for propylthiouracil in plasma (1 ml). After protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the solution was diluted with water and injected into a liquid chromatograph equipped with C-18 and C-8 columns in series. The peak area was linear over the 0.25-10-mg/liter range, and the recovery was 101 +/- 4.5%. This assay has the advantages of specificity, simplicity, and speed over previously published methods and requires smaller sample volumes. None of 19 drugs tested interfered with the assay.
