Abstract

A simple, accurate and precise development of an reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) method for the quantification of meropenem in human plasma samples for therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) was developed and validated after optimization of various chromatographic parameters. The best recovery of meropenem was achieved through sample preparation based on a simple extraction method that included deproteinization and extraction with acetonitrile. The developed method reported acceptable values for selectivity, linearity, accuracy and precision, carry-over, dilution integrity and stability. The developed method was efficiently shown to be applicable to a real-time monitoring and pharmacokinetic study of meropenem in critically ill patients.
