Abstract: | The solvent and salting effects induced on the sample preparation procedure applied to plasma samples containing fenofibric acid and 4-chlorophenyl-4′-hydroxyphenyl methanone (internal standard) are evaluated. Sodium chloride addition during a deproteinization step using both methanol and phosphoric acid influences the recovery of the analytes as well as the selectivity of the process. The chromatographic method allows high sample volume injection (500 μl) with the focusing of both analytes in the stationary phase. The synthesized high porosity octadecylsilica material allows a fast elution gradient at 4 ml/min flow-rate and a complete analysis within 7 min. UV-detection is made at 295 nm and quantitation limit in the 20 ng/ml concentration level can be achieved. The method can be successfully applied for bioequivalence studies on fenofibrate, administrated as prodrug (fenofibric acid represents its main active metabolite) in pharmaceutical formulations. The main parameters used in studying the retention behavior of the internal standard and FEFA were also estimated. |
