Abstract

A method for the determination of norfloxacin in human plasma and urine is described. Plasma samples were deproteinized using acetonitrile. The supernatant was analysed by C 18 HPLC. Fluorescence detection at an excitation wavelength of 300 nm and an emission wavelength of 450 nm was utilized. The assay was validated in the concentration range of 31 to 2507 ng/ml when 0.5-ml aliquots of plasma were handled. The intra-day precision of the spiked quality control samples ranged from ±0.37 to ±4.14% in plasma (concentration range: 70.3–2109.2 ng/ml) and from ±0.51 to ±1.56% in urine (concentration range: 7.5–299.4 μg/ml). The intra-day accuracy obtained for norfloxacin in the quality control samples ranged from −5.18% to −9.47% in plasma and from −10.56% to −5.91% in urine. The assay has been used to support human pharmacokinetic studies.
