    Area of Science:

    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Pharmacology

    Background:

    • Quinidine, a cardioactive drug, possesses a narrow therapeutic index.
    • Accurate determination of serum quinidine concentrations is essential for patient safety and treatment efficacy.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop and validate a rapid and specific assay for quantifying quinidine in serum.
    • To provide a reliable method for patient monitoring and pharmacodynamic studies.

    Main Methods:

    • High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was employed for quinidine analysis.
    • Serum samples were alkalinized and extracted with benzene, followed by reconstitution in methanol.
    • Separation of quinidine from its metabolites and dihydroquinidine was achieved via chromatography.

    Main Results:

    • The developed HPLC assay demonstrated specificity, separating quinidine (retention time: 4 min 10 s) from dihydroquinidine (retention time: 5.5 min).
    • Results obtained using this method showed excellent correlation (r = .975) with the established double-extraction method.
    • The assay is suitable for routine clinical laboratory use and research.

    Conclusions:

    • A rapid, specific, and reliable HPLC assay for serum quinidine determination has been established.
    • This method facilitates effective therapeutic drug monitoring of quinidine.
    • The assay is valuable for both clinical patient management and pharmacodynamic research.
