title: Rapid method for the analysis of itraconazole and hydroxyitraconazole in serum by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: An assay for the determination of itraconazole and its active metabolite hydroxyitraconazole in serum has been developed, using ketoconazole as internal standard. The procedure involved a one-step liquid-liquid extraction of the drug, its metabolite and the internal standard, followed by their separation by reversed-phase HPLC. In this paper the validation of this method is described.
