Determination of ofloxacin in human plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography and fluorescence detection.
A new method for the determination of ofloxacin in human plasma was developed. Plasma proteins were precipitated with acetonitrile, the supernatant concentrated and injected into a reversed-phase C18 column. Enoxacin was used as an internal standard. The fluorimetric detection was performed at 282 nm for excitation and 450 nm for emission. Limit of quantitation was 20 ng/ml and the calibration curve was linear up to 6900 ng/ml.
