Abstract: | An electron-capture gas chromatographic procedure was developed for the analysis of 4-(4-chlorophenyl)-4-hydroxypiperidine (CPHP), a metabolite of haloperidol. The assay involved basic extraction of this metabolite from the biological samples, followed by back-extraction with HCl. After basification of the acid phase, extractive derivatization with pentafluorobenzoyl chloride in toluene was conducted. The pentafluorobenzoyl derivative was quantified on a gas chromatograph equipped with a fused-silica capillary column, an electron-capture detector and a printer-integrator. N-(3-Trifluoromethylphenyl)piperazine was carried through the procedure as an internal standard and calibration curves were determined for each assay run. The procedure was demonstrated to be linear and reproducible and was utilized to detect and quantify CPHP in urine, plasma, brain and liver samples from rats treated with haloperidol. The structure of the derivatized metabolite was confirmed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. |
