An electron-capture gas chromatographic procedure was developed for the analysis of p-trifluoromethylphenol, an O-dealkylated metabolite of fluoxetine, in biological samples. A basic extraction of the biological sample was employed, followed by derivatization with pentafluorobenzenesulfonyl chloride. The internal standard, 2,4-dichlorophenol, was added to all samples used in the procedure to aid in quantitation. The practical limit of detection (signal-to-noise ratio>3) for p-trifluoromethylphenol was <5 ng/ml in human plasma samples, <10 ng/g of rat brain tissue, <25 ng/g of rat liver tissue and <25 ng/ml in human and rat urine samples. In the rat, the levels of free p-trifluoromethylphenol in the liver were 10-fold higher than those in the brain, and a substantial amount was excreted in the urine. Human urine samples contained levels of free p-trifluoromethylphenol approximately 30-fold higher than those found in human plasma samples. The procedure described is useful for the detection and quantitation of free p-trifluoromethylphenol in humans and rats treated with fluoxetine.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.
