title: Determination of lansoprazole and five metabolites in plasma by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of lansoprazole, a new proton-pump inhibitor, and five of its metabolites in human plasma is described. Lansoprazole, its metabolites, and internal standard (omeprazole) were extracted into diethyl ether-methylene chloride and separation was obtained using a reversed-phase column under isocratic conditions. The method features monochromatic ultraviolet detection at 285 nm, and single extraction, single evaporation sample handling. The lower limit of quantitation, based on standards with acceptable coefficients of variation, was 10 ng/ml for all compounds. No endogenous compounds were found to interfere. This method has been demonstrated to be suitable for pharmacokinetic studies in humans.
