Monitoring disopyramide, lidocaine, and quinidine by micellar liquid chromatography.

A micellar liquid chromatography (MLC) method using a C18 column was developed to determine three antiarrhythmic drugs--disopyramide, lidocaine, and quinidine--that are most usually monitored in serum samples. After the application of an interpretative strategy for optimization of sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) and modifier concentrations in order to ensure the minimum analysis time, maximum sensitivity, and good resolution, the optimum chromatographic conditions for the determination of the three antiarrhythmics were flow rate, 1 mL/min; injection volume, 20 microL; separation temperature, 25 degrees C; mobile phase, 150 mmol/L SDS-7% (v/v) butanol-phosphate buffer, 10 mmol/L, pH 7-0.9% (w/v) NaCl; and detection at 214 nm. The calibration curves for the drugs were linear (r2 > 0.999). The intraday and interday precisions were lower than 3.9% (CV). Recoveries were 100 +/- 0.6% when the method was applied to both serum samples spiked with the antiarrhythmics (n = 10) and real serum samples. In all cases, the results were similar to those obtained using the reference method (fluorescence polarization immunoassay) usually used in the Spanish hospital. The proposed method is useful for hospital monitoring of the antiarrhythmics by direct injection into the chromatograph.
