A. Smidovnik et al., DETERMINATION OF ACYCLOVIR IN PLASMA BY HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHY WITH UV DETECTION - METHOD DEVELOPMENT AND METHOD VALIDATION, HRC. Journal of high resolution chromatography, 20(9), 1997, pp. 503-506
A HPLC method for the determination of acyclovir in plasma is describe
d. The method is simple and sensitive enough for bioequivalence studie
s, where a large number of plasma samples with low acyclovir concentra
tion are involved. The procedure is based on the deproteinization of p
lasma with perchloric acid and separation of acyclovir on a Hypersil O
DS column at pH 5.6 with UV detection. The calibration standards are l
inear up to at least 4000 ng/mL and the limit of quantification is 10
ng/mL.
