Quantitative liquid-chromatographic technique for the simultaneous assay of tricyclic antidepressant drugs in plasma or serum.

Sonsalla PK, Jennison TA, Finkle BS.

A quantitative "high-pressure" liquid-chromatographic assay for tricyclic antidepressant drugs in plasma or serum is described in which amitriptyline, nortriptyline, imipramine, desipramine, doxepin, and desmethyldoxepin are separated with a 10-micrometer particle size silica column and a methanol/NH4OH/NH4NO3 solvent system. The drugs and two internal standards are extracted with hexane/isoamyl alcohol, the solvent layer is evaporated at 40 degrees C, and the drugs are detected at 254 nm. Drug concentrations are linear with absorbance from 25 to 1000 micrograms/L; within-assay and between-assay CVs are less than or equal to 10%.

High-performance liquid-chromatographic simultaneous determination of commonly used tricyclic antidepressants.

Proelss HF, Lohmann HJ, Miles DG.

We report a method for simultaneous measurement of five commonly used tricyclic antidepressant drugs (doxepin, desipramine, nortriptyline, imipramine, and amitriptyline) in serum by paired-ion high-performance liquid chromatography, with use of a reversed-phase column and ultraviolet detection at 254 nm. The drugs are extracted from 2 ml of serum at pH 14 into hexane/isoamyl alcohol (99/1 by vol) and re-extracted into 200 microliter of 0.1 mol/liter HCI. An aliquot of the aqueous acid phase is chromatographed with use of a methanol/acetonitrile/water (41/15/44) solvent system, containing 5 mmol of pentanesulfonic acid per liter of phosphate buffer (0.1 mol/liter, pH 6.5), at a flow rate of 1,5 ml/min. Analytical recoveries of the drugs from serum increase with increasing concentration, from 62% at 25 microgram/liter to 93% at 300 microgram/liter. Linear response is observed for drug concentrations up to 1500 microgram/liter and the detection limit is 2-3 microgram/liter. Within-run precision ranges from 1.4 to 2.9% and day-to-day precision from 1.7 to 7%, depending on the specific drug. The entire procedure can be completed within 45 min and is well adapted to the routine clinical laboratory. Of 48 common basic and several neutral drugs tested for possible interferences, only three benzodiazepines, three phenothiazines, and three antihistamines interfere with the assay of doxepin, desipramine, and nortriptyline, respectively.

Sample preparation and liquid-chromatographic analysis for tricyclic antidepressants in serum.

Koteel P, Mullins RE, Gadsden RH.

We report two separate sample-preparation procedures and a "high-pressure" liquid-chromatographic method for quantitating nine tricyclic antidepressant drugs: trimipramine, doxepin, amitriptyline, imipramine, desmethyldoxepin, nortriptyline, desipramine, maprotiline, and protriptyline. The drugs are extracted from 1 mL of serum by a single manual hexane extraction or by using DuPont's PREP I Automated Sample Processor. The drugs from either process are chromatographed on a mu-Bondapak-CN column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile/methanol/Na2HPO4, 5 mmol/L (60/15/25 by vol), pH 7.0, at a flow rate of 2.0 mL/min. Absorbance at 254 nm is linear with drug concentration from 25 to 1000 mg/L for each drug. With the manual extraction procedure the detection limit was 10 mg/L, absolute recovery 20-44%, within-run precision (CV) 10.1%, and run-to-run precision 11.1%. The performance of automated sample extraction was better, with a detection limit of 5 mg/l, absolute recovery 72-97%, within-run precision 6.1%, and run-to-run precision 6.6%.
