Direct Injection Analysis of Ketoprofen Enantiomers in Plasma Using Column-Switching High-Performance Liquid Chromatography System

A high-performance liquid chromatography system was developed for the stereoselective determination of ketoprofen enantiomers in human plasma following direct sample injection. The system comprised of a pretreatment column and a chiral separation column connected in a series via a switching valve. When a 200 μl portion of human plasma containing a therapeutic level of ketoprofen was directly applied to the system, ketoprofen was adsorbed in the pretreatment column, while plasma proteins were excluded. After the elution of proteins from the pretreatment column, the valve was switched and ketoprofen was desorbed and transferred to the chiral separation column where the enantiomers were separated and determined by ultraviolet-absorption. The mobile phase conditions for the pretreatment and chiral separation were optimized, which enabled rapid and complete recovery followed by satisfactory separation of the enantiomers. The calibration line for each enantiomer showed good linearity in the range of 0.25-5 μg/ml with a detection limit of 0.02 μg/ml (signal to noise ratio (S/N)>3), which was sufficient for practical demands. The precision test indicated that the coefficient of variation for five repeated determinations of (-) ketoprofen was 5.4% at 0.1 μg/ml and 1.4% at 1 μg/ml.
