Abstract:
A new, simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with UV detection has been developed for the determination of apovincaminic acid in human plasma. Apovincaminic acid and internal standard were isolated from plasma samples by solid-phase extraction with OASIS HLB cartridges. The chromatographic separation was accomplished on a reversed-phase C(18) column and UV detection was set at 311 nm. The calibration curves were linear in the concentration range of 2.4-240.0 ng/ml, and the limits of quantification was 2.4 ng/ml. The precision and accuracy ranged from 0.84 to 8.54% and 91.5 to 108.3%, respectively. The developed method was subsequently applied to study the pharmacokinetics of apovincaminic acid in a group of 20 human subjects at a single oral dose of 10mg of vinpocetine tablet.
