Determination of celiprolol in human plasma using high performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection for clinical application.
A new method of analysis has been developed and validated for the determination of plasma celiprolol concentration. Plasma samples (1 ml) were pre-purified by solid-phase extraction with Bond Elut C18. The separation was achieved with XBridge C18 column (150 mm × 3.0mm i.d., 3.5 μm) at 35 °C using a mixture of acetonitrile and 10mM ammonium acetate buffer (pH 10.5) (34:66, v/v) under isocratic conditions at a flow rate of 0.4 ml/min. The peak was detected using a fluorescence detector at excitation 250 nm and emission 482 nm. Retention times for the internal standard (acebutolol) and celiprolol were 4.2 min and 6.3 min, respectively. Calibration curves were linear over the range of 1.0-1000 ng/ml (r>0.999), with a limit of quantification at 1.0 ng/ml. Intra- and inter-assay precision (relative standard deviation) were less than 13.3% and the accuracy (relative error) was -5.1% to 11.5% at four different concentrations. This proposed method was successfully applied to a study of pharmacokinetic interactions between celiprolol and apple juice in humans.
