title: High-performance thin-layer chromatographic method for the detection and determination of lansoprazole in human plasma and its use in pharmacokinetic studies.
abstract: A rapid and sensitive high-performance thin-layer chromatography (HPTLC) method has been developed for the measurement of lansoprazole in human plasma and its use for pharmacokinetic study has been evaluated. Detection and quantitation were performed without using an internal standard. A single stage extraction procedure was followed for extracting lansoprazole from plasma and a known amount of the extract was spotted on precoated silica gel 60 F254 plates using a Camag Linomat IV autosampler. Lansoprazole was quantified using a Camag TLC Scanner 3. The recovery study of authentic analytes added to plasma at 0.05 to 0.25 microg/ml was 95.37+/-2.15% and the lowest amount of lansoprazole that could be detected was 20 ng/ml plasma. The method provides a direct estimate of the amount of lansoprazole present in plasma. The method was used for the determination of plasma levels as well as pharmacokinetic parameters of lansoprazole after oral administration of two marketed preparations to healthy volunteers.
