摘要
Liquid chromatographic procedure with fluorimetric detection for chiral separation and quantification of salbutamol enantiomers in urine samples has been developed. The extraction of free salbutamol from urine has been considered using liquid-liquid and solid-phase procedures. The effect of pH, salting-out effect and organic solvent has been studied in liquid-liquid extraction from aqueous and urine samples. For solid-phase extraction, different mechanisms (polar, non-polar, cation-exchange and interactions with a polymeric phase) have been tested and the effect of the urine matrix on the extraction recoveries has been considered. Bond-Elut Certify(TM) extraction cartridges provided the best specificity and good recoveries for salbutamol in urine. The sample is acidified, applied to the preconditioned cartridges and, after a washing step, salbutamol enantiomers are eluted with a mixture of chloroform and 2-propanol (80:20, v/v) containing 2% ammonia. Atenolol is used as external standard. Enantioselective separation is accomplished with a Chirex(TM) 3022 stationary phase (urea type silica-bonded chiral phase) using a mobile phase containing hexane-dichloromethane-methanol-trifluoroacetic acid (250:218:31:1, v/v) and fluorimetric detection with excitation and emission wavelengths set at 230 and 309 nm, respectively. The method proposed is rapid, selective and sensitive, and seems to be useful to differentiate between an authorized and a prohibited use of the drug in doping control. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
