[Determination of ciprofloxacin in human serum and urine by reversed-phase HPLC].
A sensitive and rapid method for the determination of ciprofloxacin using enoxacin as the internal standard was reported. High-performance liquid chromatograph model 344 (Beckman, USA) with a variable wavelength UV detector and reversed-phase Ultrasphere-ODS column (5 microns, 250 x 4.6 mm) was used. Serum or urine sample preparation involved addition phosphate buffer (pH 7.5) and aqueous solution of sodium lauryl sulfate, followed by chloroform extraction. The organic layer was removed and evaporated to dryness under an air stream in a 37 degrees C water bath. The residue was dissolved in 50 microliters mobile phase and 20 microliters injected. The mobile phase of 0.02 mol/L acetate buffer (pH 3.0) -acetonitril-dimethylformamide-10% aqueous solution of tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide (88:6.5:5:0.5) was pumped at 0.9 ml/min through the column. The detector operated at 0.01 aufs and the wavelength was set at 276 nm. The retention times for ciprofloxacin and enoxacin were 7.31 min and 5.59 min, respectively. In serum, standard curve was linear in the concentration range of 0.75 to 24 mumol/L, the detective limit was 0.2 mumol/L, extraction recovery was 69-74%, within-day CV was less than 5%, and inter-day CV was less than 6%.
