Özet

A novel, fast and simple liquid chromatographic method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of rosiglitazone and metformin in human plasma. The analysis was performed on a phenyl column (250 mm x 4.6 mm i.d., 5 mu m) using a gradient method starting with mobile phase composed of acetonitrile:5 mM acetate buffer pH 5.5 (75:25, v/v). The flow rate was 1 mL min(-1). UV detection was performed at 245 nm and verapamil was used as internal standard. The total run time was less than 10 min. Sample preparation included a simple protein precipitation step with acetonitrile. Validation experiments were performed to demonstrate stability, specificity, sensitivity, linearity, accuracy, precision and robustness. The limit of quantification was 100 ng mL(-1) for rosiglitazone and 250 ng mL(-1) for metformin. The extraction recoveries were 100.02-105.0% for rosiglitazone, and 105.64-103.88% for metformin. The method was applied with success to plasma samples obtained from diabetic patients undergoing treatment with rosiglitazone and metformin. (C) 2007 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
