Abstract
A selective solid-phase extraction was employed for the improvement of the determination of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in continental water and urine samples. Ketoprofen, naproxen, diclofenac, and ibuprofen were selected as target analytes due to they are the most frequently administered and consumed NSAIDs. These compounds were extracted using molecular imprinted polymers and determined by liquid chromatography with diode array (DAD), and tandem-mass spectrometry (MS–MS) detectors. Performance of DAD and MS–MS detectors was evaluated throughout this study. The obtained limits of quantification, after a 50-fold preconcentration solid-phase extraction, varied from 20 to 30μgL−1 for DAD, and from 0.007 to 0.017μgL−1 for MS–MS for both types of sample matrixes. Quantitative recoveries were found for blank-samples spiked at different NSAIDs concentration levels, ranging from 0.05 to 10mgL−1 for urine and from 0.5 to 500μgL−1 for water. The proposed methodology was applied for the determination of NSAID residues in urine of prescribed individuals, and continental waters.
