Abstract We report a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic method for measuring 5-fluorocytosine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid. After deproteinization with trichloroacetic acid, the supernates are chromatographed on a reversed-phase (C18) column. Response to concentration is linear in the range of 5 to 200 mg/L, with ultraviolet detection at 276 nm. The assay requires only 0.1 mL of plasma, is reproducible, and may be performed in less than 12 min. 5-Fluorocytosine concentrations determined by this procedure correlated well with those obtained by spectrofluorometry, although the present method is more specific with no observable interference from co-administered amphotericin B and most other commonly encountered drugs, including salicylat:. This method is applicable to the routine therapeutic monitoring of pediatric and adult patients as well as to pharmacokinetic studies.

Abstract A high-performance liquid-chromatographic method is reported for monitoring theophylline in plasma. Samples are deproteinized with 2.5 volumes of acetonitrile and the supernates chromatographed on a reversed-phase column. Absorption at 275 nm is monitored. One can accurately measure 1.5 mg of theophylline per liter, in as little as 10 microliter of plasma, and only about 7 min is required per sample. No interference was found in plasma samples from asthmatic patients. This method is particularly useful for routine therapeutic monitoring of both pediatric and adult patients.

A high performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of rifabutin in human plasma was  developed. The method involved deproteinisation of the sample with acetonitrile and analysis of the  supernatant using a reversed-phase C18 column (250mm) and UV detection at a wavelength of 265nm.  The assay was specific for rifabutin and linear from 0.025 to 10.0μg/ml. The relative standard deviation  of intra- and inter-day assays was lower than 10%. The method was able to remove interfering materials  in plasma, yielding an average recovery of rifabutin from plasma of 101%. Due to its simplicity, the assay  can be used for pharmacokinetic studies of rifabutin.

Abstract To study correlations between the concentrations, in serum, of amitriptyline and its most important metabolites with clinical response in patients, we developed a "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic method for routine determination of amitriptyline, nortriptyline, total 10-hydroxy-amitriptyline, desmethylnortriptyline, and E(trans)- and Z(cis)-10-hydroxynortriptyline. These compounds are extracted from 1 mL of alkalinized serum into hexane/isoamyl alcohol (99/1 by vol). Perazine is the internal standard. To minimize irreversible adsorption of the drugs onto the glassware, 5 micrograms of maprotiline is added to the organic phase just before evaporation. After a 10-min resolution on a silica column eluted with acetonitrile/methanol/NH4OH (1 mol/L), absorbance is measured at 240 nm. Only chlorimipramine, doxepin, procainamide, and N-acetylprocainamide may interfere with assay of the compounds that probably are therapeutically relevant: amitriptyline, nortriptyline, and E-10-hydroxynortriptyline. Uremia, lipemia, and icterus also do not affect the analysis.
