A simple and sensitive method is described for the determination of fluoroquinolones by HPLC on a C-18 column using fluorescence detection. Using a mobile phase of 25% (v/v) acetonitrile phosphate buffer (pH 2.0), adequate retention and separation among the solutes norfloxacin, amifloxacin, enoxacin, and pipemidic acid have been obtained using sodium lauryl sulphate as the pairing ion and tetrabutylammonium bromide as the counter ion. The chromatographic conditions selected have been used for the quantitation of norfloxacin, amifloxacin, and enoxacin in human plasma using pipemidic acid as the internal standard. A simple single-step protein precipitation procedure has been employed for pretreatment of plasma samples. The detection limits of the assay for enoxacin, amifloxacin, and norfloxacin are approximately 100, approximately 10, and approximately 20 ng/mL, respectively. The method has been employed for the determination of amifloxacin in plasma samples from a healthy volunteer following oral administration of a 400-mg amifloxacin capsule.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D012044 Regression Analysis Procedures for finding the mathematical function which best describes the relationship between a dependent variable and one or more independent variables. In linear regression (see LINEAR MODELS) the relationship is constrained to be a straight line and LEAST-SQUARES ANALYSIS is used to determine the best fit. In logistic regression (see LOGISTIC MODELS) the dependent variable is qualitative rather than continuously variable and LIKELIHOOD FUNCTIONS are used to find the best relationship. In multiple regression, the dependent variable is considered to depend on more than a single independent variable.
