Abstract

OBJECTIVE To develop and validate a simple and rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic(HPLC) method for the simultaneous determination of piperacillin/tazobactam in human plasma and urine.METHODS Plasma samples were deproteinized with acetonitrile followed by extraction of endogeous compounds with dichloromethane.The upper aquous phase and diluted urine samples with mobile phase were injected into HPLC for determination.The analysis was conducted on a CAPCELL PAK C18 column with gradient elution,the detecting wavelengh was at 220 nm.RESULTS The method was linear in the range from 0.5 to 400 mg·L-1 for piperacillin and from 0.5 to 100 mg·L-1 for tazobactam.The linear range of piperacillin/tazobactam in human urine were 2.5 to 2 000 mg·L-1 for piperacillin and 2.5 to 500 mg·L-1 for tazobactam.The absolute recoveries were 85.3%-92.9% for piperacillin and 87.6%-90.8% for tazobactam at three different concentrations.The intra-and inter-day precisions of the method(RSD) were lower than 10% for both compounds.CONCLUSION This method is suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of piperacillin/tazobactam.
