title: Determination of drugs used as anti-Parkinson's disease drugs in urine and serum by capillary electrophoresis.
abstract: A new capillary electrophoresis method to determine simultaneously eight of the most important anti-Parkinson's disease compounds has been developed. The generic names of the drugs studied are benactyzine (BA), trihexyphenidyl (TP), fenpiverin (FP), diphemin (DF), scopolamine (BL), adiphenine (TS), diethylaminoethylester 1-phenylcyclopentane-1-carboxylate (EKK), and diethylaminoethylester tetramethoxydiphenylacetate (EKO). An untreated fused-silica capillary tube (75 microns i.d., 57 cm total length, 49.5 cm length to the detector) was used with detection at 190 nm. The optimal separation conditions were 50 mM phosphate buffer (pH 2.7) with 7 mM-beta-cyclodextrin, electrokinetic injection for 15 sec at 5 kV, temperature 25 degrees C, and 15-20 kV separation voltage. Complete separation of all compounds was achieved in less than 16 min. The procedure was applied for the determination in urine and serum. The limits of detection (LOD, S/N = 3) for serum were 209 (FP), 234 (EKO), 168 (DF), 182 (BA), 168 (TP), 220 (BL), 174 (TS), and 163 (EKK) ppb. The method can be used for the therapeutic drug monitoring of these central active cholinolytics in clinical laboratories.
