Development of a standardized analysis strategy for basic drugs using ion-pair extraction and high-performance liquid
1Farmaceutisch Instituut, Vrije Universiteit Brussel, Laarbeeklaan 103, B-1090 Brussels, Belgium.
Abstract:
A standardized analysis strategy for basic drugs which had been applied previously to pharmaceutical dosage forms, cosmetics and saliva has been applied to plasma. Low extraction recoveries that were obtained at first were shown by protein binding studies to be due to interactions between plasma proteins, the drug and the organic ion-pairing reagent. These interactions could be avoided by removal of the plasma proteins from the sample prior to addition of the counterion solution. The standardized analysis strategy was shown to be applicable to the determination of both polar and non-polar drugs in plasma.

Protein-Drug Binding: Determination Methods
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...
