title: Stir bar sorptive extraction and high performance liquid chromatographic determination of carvedilol in human serum using two different polymeric phases and an ionic liquid as desorption solvent.
abstract: This article presents a method employing stir bar coated with a film of poly (methyl methacrylate/ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate) (PA-EG) and polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) in combination with liquid desorption (LD) using ionic liquid, followed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) equipped with ultraviolet (UV) detection for the determination of carvedilol in human serum samples. Stir bar sorptive extraction (SBSE) variables, such as desorption and extraction time and temperature, desorption solvent and pH of the matrix were optimized, in order to achieve suitable analytical sensitivity in a short period of time. Also, the concentration effect of 1-methyl-3-octylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate [Omim][BF4] ionic liquid on the efficiency of LD was investigated. A comparison between PA-EG/SBSE and PDMS/SBSE was made by calculating the experimental recovery and partition coefficient (K), where PA-EG phase demonstrated to be an excellent alternative for the enrichment of the carvedilol from serum samples. The effect of [Omim][BF4] on carryover was studied and no carryover was observed. Under optimized experimental conditions, the analytical performance showed excellent linear dynamic range, with correlation coefficients higher than 0.999 and limits of detection and quantification of 0.3 and 1.0 ng mL(-1), respectively. Intra- and inter-day recovery ranged from 94 to 103% and the coefficients of variations were less than 3.2%. The proposed method was shown to be simple, highly sensitive and suitable for the measurement of trace concentration levels of carvedilol in biological fluid media.
