Abstract

An adaptive method to determine ibuprofen enantiomers with limited volume of plasma required is necessary for investigating PK of ibuprofen in neonates. Enantiomer separation was achieved on a Lux cellulose 3 column with mobile phase consisting of methanol water (85:15, v/v) and formic acid (0.0075%) at isocratic rate of 0.2 ml/min. Calibration curve is linear for each enantiomer at the range of 0.1-60 μg/ml. Validation was conducted and results met requirements regarding to intra- and inter-run precision, accuracy and recovery. No matrix effect or interference was observed from neonatal plasma or comedications. Only 20 μl of plasma was requested in this study. This assay was specific and reliable to quantify ibuprofen enantiomers in neonate plasma.
