Abstract:
A rapid, specific, precise and accurate HPLC method with electrochemical detection was developed and validated for the determination of clarithromycin in human plasma. After addition of the internal standard, the analytes were extracted from plasma under alkaline conditions with ethyl acetate:hexane 1:1. The inter-run precision of the method was less than 4.7%, the inter-run accuracy was better than 97.3% and the recovery of clarithromycin and roxithromycin (internal standard) were better than 82.5% and 86.2%, respectively. The method was found to be suitable for the quantitation of clarithromycin in bioequivalence and pharmacokinetic studies.

Indirect methods involve isolating the bound drug from its free form in biological samples such as blood, serum, or plasma. These techniques aim to measure the percentage of drugs bound to proteins. Equilibrium dialysis is a commonly used method where the free drug concentration at equilibrium is measured by separating the bound...
