Summary
Samples were extracted with dichloromethane and the organic layer evaporated to dryness. The residue was dissolved in methanol, and 10 μl aliquot injected onto the column. Tolbutamide was used as the internal standard for chlorpropamide. The UV detector response was linear over the range 0–200 μg ml−1 with a correlation coefficient of 0.999; detection limit: 0.002 μg ml−1. Within-day and between-day assay variation was generally ≤7%. No interference from endogenous constituents was observed. The utility of the method was demonstrated by determining chlorpropamide in samples from six healthy volunteers following a single oral dose of 250 mg. The procedure is simple and requires small volumes of plasma.
