Abstract
This study reports a novel heart-cutting two-dimensional high performance liquid chromatography (2D-LC) method with ultraviolet detection for the determination of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone in human serum. In this 2D system, a strong cation-exchange column was applied for the first dimensional (1D) separation to isolate the targets from the complex serum matrices, and a middle column was used to transfer the targets from the first dimension to the second dimension (2D) through a six-port valve. A reverse-phase C18 column was selected in the second dimension for further separation. An assistant pump was optimized to prevent the peak dispersion and the loss of resolution. This method has the advantages of high sensitivity by large injection volume, simple one-step sample preparation and short analysis time. A linear range between 5 and 146 ng/mL for risperidone and 7 and 200 ng/mL for 9-hydroxyrisperidone was achieved. All of the results showed that the coupling of ion-exchange with reversed-phase liquid chromatography had powerful separation capabilities for risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone in human serum. The method exhibited good repeatability and recoveries and may be used as a reliable approach for therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical analysis.
