pubmed:abstractText
A relatively simple reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of the polar metabolites of nifedipine in biological fluids is described. After conversion of 2-hydroxymethyl-6-methyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)pyridine-3,5-dicarboxylic acid 5-methyl ester (IV) into 5,7-dihydro-2-methyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-5-oxofuro[3,4-b] pyridine-3-carboxylic acid methyl ester (V) by heating under acidic conditions, V was extracted with n-pentane-dichloromethane (7:3) and analysed on a C18 column with ultraviolet detection. Subsequently, 2,6-dimethyl-4-(2-nitrophenyl)-3,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid monomethyl ester (III) was extracted with chloroform and analysed on the same system. Limits of determination in blood were 0.1 microgram/ml for III and 0.05 microgram/ml for IV and V; these limits were two to ten times higher for urine. This inter-assay variability was always less than 7.5%.
