Abstract
A rapid, sensitive method was developed for the quantification of the R- and S-enantiomers of ketoprofen and their acyl glucuronide conjugates in the plasma and dialysate of hemodialysis-dependent anephric patients. Unconjugated R- and S-ketoprofen plasma concentrations were determined directly by liquid chromatography using a S,S-Whelk-O1 chiral stationary phase. R- and S-Ketoprofen glucuronide for use as standards were resolved using a C18 reversed-phase HPLC column with a mobile phase containing the ion-pair reagent tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate. Plasma glucuronides, however, could not be directly quantified due to matrix interference. Therefore, the glucuronides were isolated using reversed-phase HPLC and quantified after alkaline hydrolysis using the S,S-Whelk-O1 chiral stationary phase column.
