A rapid, precise, accurate, and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic method with fluorescence detection has been validated and used for analysis of amisulpride in human plasma after a simple solid-phase extraction procedure. Compounds were separated on a CN column with 0.03 M potassium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 6.5)–acetonitrile 65:35 (v/v) as mobile phase. Fluorescence detection was performed at excitation and emission wavelengths of 274 and 370 nm, respectively. Calibration plots were linear over the concentration range 10–1,000 ng mL−1 in human plasma, and the lower limit of quantification was 10 ng mL−1. Accuracy was between 0.4 and 6.4% and precision was between 3.1 and 7.5%. Amisulpride was sufficiently stable through three freeze–thaw cycles, during storage for 6 h at room temperature, and for 2 months at −22 °C. The method is suitable for the analysis of clinical samples from pharmacokinetic studies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
