Abstract:
OBJECTIVE To establish a method for the content determination of propofol in biological samples by solid phase microextraction(SPME)-HPLC.
METHODS Samples were pretreated by Oasis HLB-SPME column and analyzed by HPLC consisting of a Shim-pack VP-ODS colum (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm), and using a mixture solution of acetonitrile-water (adjusting the pH to 4.00 with 1% trifluoroacetic acid) (70:30) as the mobile phase. The flow rate was 1.0 mL·min
-1, the excitation wavelength was 276 nm, the emission wavelength was 301 nm, and the column temperature was 40℃.
RESULTS The separation of propofol and carbamazepine was good. The method showed a good linearity in the range of 1.2-21.0 mg·L
-1(
r=0.999 7). The methodological recoveries were all between 98% and 104%, the RSD was <5%. Intraday and interday precision were <5%.
CONCLUSION This method is simple and specific, and can effectively eliminate the interference of certain endogenous substances. It is suitable for the therapeutic drug monitoring of propofol in clinic and pharmacokinetic studies.
