Stability Studies of Rifampicin in Plasma and Urine of Tuberculosis Patients According to the European Medicines Agency Guidelines

Abstract: Aim: The macrolide antibiotic rifampicin is prescribed against several infections, like tuberculosis disease. This drug decays to rifampicin quinone. Results/methodology: The biological fluids were diluted in a micellar solution and directly injected. Using a C18 column and a mobile phase of 0.15 M SDS-6% 1-pentanol phosphate-buffered at pH 7, running at 1 ml/min, the analytes were resolved in less than 15 min. The detection was by absorbance at 337 nm. Method was validated by the guidelines of the European Me… Show more

“…The absorption peaks do not correspond directly to the absorption peaks of rifampicin when it is dissolved in water. This is likely due to the very high level of protein binding for rifampicin in blood [10] so that, instead, here the absorption peaks correspond to the protein-drug complex. This is supported by the fact that the absorption peaks closely resemble those of whole blood but shifted slightly in frequency.…”

“…Current protocols indicate that specimens should be promptly frozen after collection to avoid deterioration; however, in some settings, it is challenging to freeze specimens promptly and keep them frozen while transported [ 4 ]. Furthermore, it is worth noting that RIF undergoes nonenzymatic autooxidation, leading to the formation of rifampicin quinone (RIF-Q), such as in RIF tablets, indicating impurity [ 30 , 31 , 32 ]. In acidic pH, RIF is degraded to 3-formyl-rifampicin (3-F-RIF) [ 33 , 34 ], which becomes more conspicuous in the presence of INH [ 34 ].…”
