Abstract

An automated HPLC method is described for the determination of nedocromil sodium in human urine. An HPLC autosampler is used to inject urine samples onto a short reversed-phase column. This column acts as a concentration column and performs a preliminary extraction. The concentration column is automatically back-flushed onto an ion-exchange column where final separation of nedocromil sodium from urine constituents occurs. Recovery, accuracy, precision, sensitivity and specificity were investigated. The method has been applied to urine samples from clinical studies, and the results were compared to those obtained using a radioimmunoassay developed previously.
