Abstract:
:Determination of methadone (MET) in biological fluids can serve to adjust dosages in patients suffering from cancer pain or participating in methadone maintenance programs. We developed a gas chromatographic assay using nitrogen-phosphorus detection. The method involves a single-step extraction from alkalized plasma, cerebrospinal fluid, or urine into n-hexane/isoamyl-alcohol (99/1, v/v). Dextropropoxyphene was used as internal standard. Separation was achieved with a silica SE-52-CB column (13 m x 0.25-mm I.D.). The method was validated for the determination of MET in plasma, urine, and cerebrospinal fluid with a quantification limit of 0.5 ng/mL. The coefficients of variation for within-day and between-day precision were within 10.2 and 14.1%, respectively. Approximately 100 samples can be analyzed by one person in the course of a working day, making the method applicable to routine drug monitoring. The method was demonstrated to be sensitive and accurate for pharmacokinetic studies in plasma, urine, or cerebrospinal fluid.
