Abstract

An HPLC method with ultraviolet and fluorimetric detection has been established for the separation and determination of six quinolonic and cinolonic antibiotics. A Nova-Pak C18 column (150 x 3.9 mm) and a Waters 486 UV and a Waters 470 fluorescence detector have been used. The influence of variables such as mobile-phase composition and flow-rate, has been studied. An acetonitrile-aqueous solution of oxalic acid 4x10(-4) M (28:72, v/v) has been selected as optimum. The wavelength for the photometric detection of the six antibiotics was 265 nm. For the fluorimetric detection two pairs of excitation/emission wavelengths, 260/360 or 270/440 nm, were selected for the determination of nalidixic acid, 7-hydroxymethylnalidixic acid and oxolinic acid, and for the determination of pipemidic acid and cinoxacin, respectively. The analytical parameters and detection and quantification limits of the method have been determined. The proposed method has been applied for the determination of the six compounds in urine, applying different procedures depending on their concentration, the results being very acceptable.
