Abstract: | We developed an HPLC procedure using electrochemical detection for the quantitation of oxycodone and hydrocotarnine in cancer patients serum. An eluent of methanol:acetonitrile:5 mM pH 8 phosphate buffer (2:1:7) was used for the mobile phase. The calibration curve was linear in the range from 10 ng/mL to 100 ng/mL. The recovery of oxycodone and hydrocotarnine was 97.2% and 90.5%, respectively. The relative standard deviations within-runs and between-runs for the assay of oxycodone or hydrocotarnine were less than 4.8%. The method developed here was better than the method reported previously. |
