Abstract
SummaryA rapid, simple, and accurate method was developed for the determination of isoniazid and its metabolites (isonicotinic acid, acetylisoniazid and isonicotinylglycine) in urine by high-performance liquid chromatography. Urine is diluted with the mobile phase. After centrifugation, an aliquot of the supernatant is injected into the chromatograph. Isoniazid and its metabolites are separated by reversed-phase ionpairing chromatography with a mobile phase containing propanesulfonate and detected by fluorometry using postcolumn derivatization at high temperature (150°C) with hydrogen peroxide. The method was applied to the analysis of urine from patients receiving isoniazid therapy.
