Abstract: | An HPLC method combined with second-order calibration based on alternating trilinear decomposition (ATLD) algorithm has been developed for the quantitative analysis of levodopa (LVD), carbidopa (CBD) and methyldopa (MTD) in human plasma samples. Prior to the analysis of the analytes by ATLD algorithm, three time regions of chromatograms were selected purposely for each analyte to avoid serious collinearity. Although the spectra of these analytes were similar and interferents coeluted with the analytes studied in biological samples, good recoveries of the analytes could be obtained with HPLC-DAD coupled with second-order calibration based on ATLD algorithm, additional benefits are decreasing times of analysis and less solvent consumption. The average recoveries achieved from ATLD with the factor number of 3 (N = 3) were 100.1 ± 2.1, 96.8 ± 1.7 and 104.2 ± 2.6% for LVD, CBD and MTD, respectively. In addition, elliptical joint confidence region (EJCR) tests as well as figures of merit (FOM) were employed to evaluate the accuracy of the method. |
