Abstract:
An improved high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method utilizing solid-phase extraction (SPE) and midbore chromatography was developed for the determination of ranitidine in human plasma. A mobile phase of 20 mM K2HPO4-acetonitrile-triethylamine (87.9:12.0:0.1, v/v) pH 6.0 was used with a phenyl analytical column and ultraviolet detection (UV). The method demonstrated linearity from 25 to 1000 ng/ml in 500 microliters of plasma with a detection limit of 10 ng/ml. The method was utilized in a pharmacokinetic study evaluating the effects of pancreatico-biliary secretions on ranitidine absorption.
