Abstract: | ![]() Abstract A selective and sensitive reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed and validated for quantitation of cefaclor in human plasma using cefradine as an internal standard. Calibration curve was linear over range of 0.1–20 mg · L?1. The intra- and inter-run relative standard deviations of the assay were less than 7%. The mean absolute recoveries determined at the concentrations of 0.3, 3.0, 8.0, and 15.0 mg · L?1 were 69.9%, 69.9%, 77.1% and 72.0%, respectively. The analytical method established was proved to be specific, precise, sensitive, and suitable for applying in the pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies of cefaclor in human. |
