title: High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis for the determination of miconazole in human plasma using solid-phase extraction.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of miconazole in human plasma is described. A solid-phase extraction was performed on an octadecyl (C18) cartridge. Miconazole was eluted with methanol, separated on a reversed-phase column and was measured by ultraviolet detection at 230 nm. The absolute extraction recovery from plasma samples was 85%. The limit of detection was established as 5 ng/ml. The coefficient of variation of the determination of plasma levels by this method over the standard curve concentration range was less than 10%, except with the concentration of 10 ng/ml. The plasma levels of miconazole in twelve healthy volunteers given a 250-mg oral dose of two tablet forms were determined by this method.
