ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:To establish a RP-HPLC method for the determination of the concentration of moxifloxacin in human serum.METHODS:The separation of sample was performed on Gemini C18 column with a fixed sample injection volume of 20?L.The mobile phase was methanol-water-triethylamine(112.5∶208.9∶0.06) at a flow rate of 1mL?min-1.The UV detective wavelength was set at 289nm;the column temperature was 25℃ and the sensitivity was 0.01AUFS.RESULTS:In the range of 0.312 5～10?g?mL-1(r=0.999 8),moxifloxacin showed a good linear relation in HPLC.The recoveries of moxifloxacin at three concentrations(10,2.5,0.625?g?mL-1) were 99.46%,103.12%,and 96.14%,respectively,with intra-day RSD at 3.27%,3.35%,0.92%,respectively and inter-day RSD at 7.19%,6.25%,6.68%,respectively.CONCLUSION:This method is simple,rapid,accurate and sensitive,and it can be used for the concentration determination and the pharmacokinetic study of moxifloxacin.
