Abstract
A high pressure Liquid chromatographic analysis of phenylpropano Lamine in plasma and urine by post-column derivatzaition with o-phthalaldehyde is described. Plasma samples are extracted with methylene chloride under alkaline conditions. Urine is diluted with mobile phase without extraction. Using fluorescence detection, the method is sufficiently sensitive (2 ng/ml in 0.5 ml of plasma and 0.5 mcg/ml in 0.2 ml of urine) so that phenylpropano lamine concentrations in plasma or urine may be measured for up to 24 hours following a 75 mg oral dose. Coefficients of variation for inter-day and intra-day precision are less than 10%.
