Abstract: | A simple micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) with UV detection at 254 nm for analysis of ceftazidime in plasma and in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) by direct injection without any sample pretreatment is described. The separation of ceftazidime from biological matrix was performed at 25 degrees C using a background electrolyte consisting of Tris buffer with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as the electrolyte solution. Under optimal MEKC condition, good separation with high efficiency and short analyses time is achieved. Several parameters affecting the separation of the drug from biological matrix were studied, including pH and concentration of the Tris buffer and SDS. Using cefazolin as an internal standard (IS), the linear ranges of the method for the determination of ceftazidime in plasma and in CSF were all over the range of 3-90 microg/mL; the detection limit of the drug in plasma and in CSF (signal-to-noise ratio = 3; injection 0.5 psi, 5 s) was 2.0 microg/mL. The applicability of the proposed method for determination of ceftazidime in plasma and CSF collected after intravenous administration of 2 g ceftazidime in patients with meningitis was demonstrated. |
