Abstract
This study describes an high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC)-UV method for the simultaneous determination of 6beta-hydroxycortisol (6beta-OHF) and cortisol (F) in human urine and plasma. The within-day relative standard deviation of the three concentrations for both analytes was less than 6.2%. Accuracy determined at three concentrations ranged between 95 and 107%. The extraction recoveries were 64.1+/-4.3 and 88.1+/-2.4% at three concentrations for 6beta-OHF and F in urine, respectively. The extraction recoveries were 88.7+/-1.4% at three concentrations for F in plasma. This is the first HPLC method that can simultaneously determine 6beta-OHF and F in human urine and plasma and is suitable for routine assessment of the CYP3A activity expressed as 6beta-hydroxylation clearance.
