Abstract
A chromatographic method was developed to detect and confirm the presence of chlorpropamide ( I) in horse plasma samples, for antidoping control. The plasma sample (1 ml) was extracted with dichloromethane and screened by high-performance liquid chromatography, and confirmation of the drug's presence was accomplished by using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS). The limit of detection was found to be 3.5 ng/ml at a signal-to-noise ratio of three. Derivatization of I with N, O-bis-(trimethylsilyl)trifluoroacetamide with 1% trimethylchlorosilane allowed for highly stable, accurate and sensitive GC–MS analysis. Plasma samples collected after the administration of diabinese were positive for I (one–five days) in all samples analysed.
