We propose a method to quantify quinine in biological fluids using liquid chromatography. After alkalinisation, samples are extracted with a chloroform-isoamyl alcohol mixture; in the case of urinary samples, a preliminary enzymatic hydrolysis is performed. Extracts are analyzed by adsorption chromatography. A mobile phase composed of methanol-acetonitril-ammonia in used to elute. A post-column reaction with sulfuric acid allows a fluorimetric detection. With this method concentration as low as 0.05 mg/l can be measured. Variation coefficient is about 2.5 p. cent Quinine, its metabolites and dihydroquinine are well separated; thus it is a very useful method for pharmacokinetic and metabolic studies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007700 Kinetics The rate dynamics in chemical or physical systems.
D008832 Microchemistry The development and use of techniques and equipment to study or perform chemical reactions, with small quantities of materials, frequently less than a milligram or a milliliter.
D011803 Quinine An alkaloid derived from the bark of the cinchona tree. It is used as an antimalarial drug, and is the active ingredient in extracts of the cinchona that have been used for that purpose since before 1633. Quinine is also a mild antipyretic and analgesic and has been used in common cold preparations for that purpose. It was used commonly and as a bitter and flavoring agent, and is still useful for the treatment of babesiosis. Quinine is also useful in some muscular disorders, especially nocturnal leg cramps and myotonia congenita, because of its direct effects on muscle membrane and sodium channels. The mechanisms of its antimalarial effects are not well understood.
