Description:
An isocratic high-performance liquid chromatographic method with detection at 240nm was developed, optimized and validated for the determination of nifedipine in canine plasma. Liquid-liquid extraction was used as the sample preparation technique. Carbamazepine was used as internal standard. A Hypersil BDS RP-C"1"8 column (250mmx4.6mm, 5@mm) was equilibrated with a mobile phase composed of water and methanol, 45:55 (v/v). Its flow rate was 1mlmin^-^1. The elution time for nifedipine and carbamazepine was approximately 12 and 8min, respectively. Calibration curves of nifedipine in plasma were linear in the concentration range of 1-200ngml^-^1. Limits of detection and quantification in plasma were 0.5 and 1.5ngml^-^1, respectively. Recovery was greater than 98%. Intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation for nifedipine in plasma was less than 8.5 and 10%, respectively. This method was applied to the determination of nifedipine plasma levels after administration of commercially available soft gelatine capsules to dogs.
