title: Determination of the angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor lisinopril in urine using solid-phase extraction and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A simple, accurate and precise high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for assaying lisinopril in human urine. Urine (1 ml) containing lisinopril and enalaprilat (internal standard) was acidified with 10 microliters of 6 M nitric acid, passed through a Sep-Pak C18 cartridge and eluted with 3 ml of 10% acetonitrile, followed by 6 ml of distilled water. the separations were carried out using a mu Bondapak c18 column with a mobile phase comprising acetonitrile (60 ml), methanol (10 ml) and tetrahydrofuran (10 ml) in 15 mM phosphate buffer (920 ml) at pH 2.90. Separations were performed at 40 degrees C and detection was at 206 nm. Standard calibration plots of lisinopril in urine were linear (r > 0.998) and recovery was greater than 64%. The lowest quantifiable concentration was 0.5 micrograms/ml. Within-day and between-day imprecision (coefficient of variation) ranged from 2.51% to 9.26%, and inaccuracy was less than 8.3%.
