Abstract

A specific high-performance liquid chromatography method has been developed for simultaneous detection of vinclozolin and its degradation products (M 1, M 2, and M 3). The method has been validated according to ICH guidelines and can be extended to quantitation of vinclozolin. A base-line separation of vinclozolin and its degradation products was found with symmetrical peak shapes on an XTerra™ MS C 18 column using 10 mM ammonium bicarbonate at pH 9.2 and acetonitrile as mobile phase. The retention times of vinclozolin, M 1, M 2, and M 3 were 12.8, 8.1, 11.6, and 11.1 min, respectively. A linear calibration curve was obtained across a range from 5 to 200 μM for vinclozolin. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviations (%RSD) were <1%. Greater than 90% recoveries of vinclozolin from bio-fluids including mouse plasma, serum and urine, and rabbit bile, were obtained in a single step with a single solvent.
