Abstract

A direct large volume injection high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with homemade restricted-access media (RAM) pre-column and combined with a column-switching valve was established and developed for determination rifampicin (RIP) in rat plasma. The rat plasma samples (100 μL) were injected directly onto pre-column, where RIP was retained and pre-concentrated, while proteins were washed to waste using a methanol-water (5:95) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Then, by rotation of the switching valve at 5 min, the RIP were eluted from the pre-column and transferred to an Luna C18 analytical column by the chromatographic mobile phase consisting of methanol-acetonitrile-10 mm ammonium format (60:5:35) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. The total analytical run time was 15 min with UV detection wavelength at 254 nm. Carbamazepine was used as the internal standard. Excellent linear correlation (r = 0.9993) was obtained in the range of 0.25-8 µg/mL for rat plasma. The intra-day and inter-day precisions of RIP were all <5.0%. The recoveries were in the range of from 99.98-113.66% for plasma. This on-line RAM-HPLC method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of RIP in rat plasma.
