Abstract: | A simple and sensitive reversed-phase isocratic HPLC method for the determination of albendazole and its metabolites has been developed. The mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile-water-perchloric acid (70%) (30:110:0.06 (v/v/v)) was pumped at a flow rate of 0.80 ml/min on a 5 microm, reverse phase, Discovery RPamide C16 column with UV detection at 290 nm. The calibration graphs were linear in the range of 0.05- 1 microg/ml for albendazole, albendazole sulphoxide and albendazole sulphone. The limit of quantification was 50 ng/ml for albendazole, 25 ng/ml for albendazole sulphoxide and 30 ng/ml for albendazole sulphone. The within-day and day-to-day coefficient of variation averaged 4.98 and 6.95% for albendazole, 3.83 and 6.83% for albendazole sulphoxide and 3.44 and 5.51% for albendazole sulphone, respectively. The mean extraction recoveries of albendazole, albendazole sulphoxide and albendazole sulphone were 79.25, 93.03 and 88.78%, respectively. The method was applied to determine the plasma levels of albendazole sulphoxide in endemic normals administered with albendazole during pharmacokinetic studies. |
