title: Determination of propiomazine in rat plasma by direct injection on coupled liquid chromatography columns with electrochemical detection.
abstract: This method describes the determination of propiomazine by direct injection of rat plasma into a chromatography system based on coupled reversed-phase columns. An extraction column, packed with porous silica particles with covalent-bound alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP), was used to separate the plasma proteins from the analyte. After isolation the analyte was transferred to the analytical column for separation and detection. Propiomazine was detected by an electrochemical detector and the limit of quantification was 2.0 ng/ml (100 pg injected). The absolute recovery was 80.9+/-2.4% at 9.0 ng/ml level. The inter-day and intra-day precision was 10.9% (5.6 ng/ml) and 2.8% (9.0 ng/ml), respectively.
