Isoniazid (IN), pyrazinamide (Pz) and rifampicin (Rf) are separated on YMC-ODS column. IN was derivatized with 2-fluorene-carboxaldehyde (FA). The separation was achieved using ethanol-chloroform-acetonitrile water by isocratic elution and detected at 337 nm. The detection limits were 0.11 ng, 0.2 ng and 13 ng/injection (5 microl) for IN, Pz and Rf, respectively. The method of analysis was applied to the pharmaceutical preparations and in the blood samples of the patients suffering from tuberculosis after undergoing chemotherapy with IN, Pz and Rf. The amounts quantitated in blood showed 0.97 to 1.58 microg/ml IN, 3.44 to 4.09 microg/ml Pz and 1.98 to 3.5 microg/ml Rf with coefficient of variations 0.8-1.8%, 0.9-1.3% and 0.8-2.1%, respectively.

D000995 Antitubercular Agents Drugs used in the treatment of tuberculosis. They are divided into two main classes: "first-line" agents, those with the greatest efficacy and acceptable degrees of toxicity used successfully in the great majority of cases; and "second-line" drugs used in drug-resistant cases or those in which some other patient-related condition has compromised the effectiveness of primary therapy.

D012293 Rifampin A semisynthetic antibiotic produced from Streptomyces mediterranei. It has a broad antibacterial spectrum, including activity against several forms of Mycobacterium. In susceptible organisms it inhibits DNA-dependent RNA polymerase activity by forming a stable complex with the enzyme. It thus suppresses the initiation of RNA synthesis. Rifampin is bactericidal, and acts on both intracellular and extracellular organisms.

D012680 Sensitivity and Specificity Binary classification measures to assess test results. Sensitivity or recall rate is the proportion of true positives. Specificity is the probability of correctly determining the absence of a condition. (From Last, Dictionary of Epidemiology, 2d ed) Specificity,Sensitivity,Specificity and Sensitivity
D013056 Spectrophotometry, Ultraviolet Determination of the spectra of ultraviolet absorption by specific molecules in gases or liquids, for example Cl2, SO2, NO2, CS2, ozone, mercury vapor, and various unsaturated compounds. (McGraw-Hill Dictionary of Scientific and Technical Terms, 4th ed) Ultraviolet Spectrophotometry
