title: A Pretreatment Method for Analysing Albendazole by HPLC in Plant Material.
abstract: Albendazole (ALB) belongs to a group of benzimidazoles-classified as antiparasitic pharmaceuticals. Its widespread application results in the presence of this pharmaceutical in natural environment (water and soil). In this paper a suitable pretreatment method was established including sampling, freeze-drying and extraction.Vicia fabawas used as model organism. ALB accumulation by plant tissues was observed in hydroponic culture as well as in soil. The range of pharmaceutical concentrations was 1.7 × 10-5mol/L (in hydroponic culture) and 1.7 × 10-5to 1.7 × 10-4mol/kg air dry soil (in soil). Observations were conducted for 14 days. After this time biological material was freeze-dried and after homogenization, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) extraction was performed. The recovery of ALB for the roots was 93 % while for the shoots 86 %. After cleaning, the samples were subjected to further analysis by HPLC system. Phosphate buffer and acetonitrile (50:50) were used as a mobile phase. Drug retention time was 6.3 min. Results obtained in this experiment indicate higher drug accumulation in roots rather than in the hypocotyl part of the plant, cultivated both in soil and in hydroponic culture.
