A new syringe-type minicolumn, called Extrashot-Silica (EXS-Silica), containing diatomaceous earth granules was described. The EXS-Silica differs from the conventional pretreatment column. Using the EXS-Silica we can execute the simultaneous extraction-injection to HPLC, column. Therefore, an analysis using the EXS-Silica is an easier and faster method than the general HPLC analysis method. In this study, we carried out the simultaneous determination of four xanthine derivatives, such as caffeine, theobromine, theophylline and paraxanthine, in serum specimens. We used dichloromethane containing 4% ethanol (v/v) for the extraction-injection and water-acetic acid-ethanol-dichloromethane (0.2:0.2:4:95.6, v/v) for the mobile phase of HPLC. The eluent was monitored with a UV detector at 275 nm. A linear relationship between the amount of drug and the peak height was confirmed in the range of 1-40 micrograms/ml for the above-mentioned four xanthine derivatives in the serum. When a 5 microliters aliquot of the serum was subjected to this method, the observed detection limits of the drug were far less than therapeutic concentrations. The analytical accuracy of our method was finally confirmed by comparing the obtained analytical data by the new method with those obtained using the fluorescense polarization immunoassay method. Serum concentrations of theophylline obtained by these two methods correlate satisfactorily. Except for minor modifications in the injector, the existing liquid-chromatographic equipment can be used.
