Abstract:
An effective and convenient method for glucocorticoid analysis in hair by reversed-phase pressurized capillary electrochromatography (pCEC) with ultra-violet (UV) detection was developed. Eight glucocorticoids (betamethasone, dexamethasone, prednisone, predniso-lone, prednisolone acetate, hydrocortisone acetate, cortisone acetate and corticosterone) were separated within 20 min in an isocratic mode pCEC. The separations were performed on a reversed-phase C 18 column, and with 245 nm as the UV detection wavelength. The mobile phase was composed of 1. 5 mmol/L Tris buffer (pH 8. 0) and acetonitrile (65: 35, v/v), at a pump flow rate of 0. 05 mL/min. All of the compounds showed good linearity in the range of 0. 036 -4. 0 mmol/L. The limits of detection (LODs) for all glucocorticoids were of μg/g levels. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of hair samples. The interference of hair matrices was effectively eliminated by protein enzymatic digestion, followed by a methanol extraction and a solid phase extraction (SPE) clean up step. The average recoveries of 71% - 85% at different fortified levels of glucocorticoids were achieved. This non-invasive method is useful for rapidly estimating the level of drug exposure in drug chronic abuse and monitoring the compliance of therapeutic drugs.
