Abstract

A rapid, sensitive, and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the quantitative analysis of sulfinpyrazone and its sulfone and p-hydroxy metabolites in plasma and urine. The method uses two different procedures for sample preparation: (1) a rapid and convenient procedure using a single extraction with 1-chlorobutane and subsequent back-extraction into sodium hydroxide solution for the analysis of sulfinpyrazone and its sulfone metabolite, and (2) a more time consuming procedure using triple extraction with ethylene dichloride, a buffer wash, and back extraction into the base for the additional analysis of the p-hydroxy metabolite. The lower limit of sensitivity for sulfinpyrazone is 50 ng/ml. Concentrations of sulfinpyrazone between 0.05 to 0.1 and 50 μg/ml were measured with an average coefficient of variation of 3.9%, ranging from 1.5 to 6.1%.
