Abstract

An improved liquid-solid extraction procedure for the purification and determination of amiodarone and desethylamiodarone in biological fluids is proposed. The sample is passed through a silica-C18 column, and after washing, the analytes are eluted with methanol. The determination is then accomplished by RP HPLC using an octadecyl silica column and a mobile phase of methanol containing 0.0015% of ammonium hydroxide. The effect of ammonia concentration on the capacity factors of the analytes has been used for estimating the acid dissociation constants of the investigated secondary and tertiary amines in methanol.
