title: [Determination of isoniazid in blood and urine samples by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography].
abstract: For the purpose of more accurate and rapid analysis of isoniazid in body fluid samples, a reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method was developed. Vanillin, being as a derivatizing reagent, was added to the plasma and urine samples when they were pretreated. Isoniazid and vanillin reacted to form isonicotinoyl hydrazone which was separated and detected. The pretreatment method of sample, the linear range, the precision, and the recovery of isoniazid were investigated by using human's plasma and urine spiked with standard isoniazid. The linear range was 0.2 mg/L- 12.0 mg/L (for plasma, r =0.999 6; for urine, r = 0.999 4). The detection limit was 0.2 mg/L. The intra-day and inter-day precisions of assay for isoniazid were 2.3% - 2.6% and 3.8% - 4.0% (n = 5) for plasma, 1.3% - 4.0% and 2.1% - 3.9% (n = 5) for urine respectively. The average recoveries of isoniazid were from 96.5% to 99.8% in plasma and from 96.3% to 99.4% in urine. The HPLC method has been used to investigate the concentration of isoniazid in the volunteer's plasma. The quantitative analysis of isoniazid in plasma was not interfered by impurities, the metabolites of isoniazid and the derivatizing reagent residue. This analytical method for isoniazid is sensitive, rapid and convenient. It is suitable for the analysis of toxics in forensic samples, the detection of drug concentration in clinical medicines and pharmacokinetic studies.
