Ion-pair HPLC Method for the Quantification of Metformin in Human Plasma and Its Application | Chapter 1 | Challenges and Advances in Pharmaceutical Research Vol. 7

The purpose of this work is to develop and validate a traditional reverse phase column-based, ion-pairing HPLC-UV technique for the detection of metformin in human plasma.

Between November 2014 and February 2015, the Department of Biomedical Sciences at the University of Medicine's "Mother Tereza" hospital centre undertook this experimental investigation.

The method used in this investigation to identify metformin was ion-pair separation followed by UV detection on plasma samples that had been deproteinized and dichloromethane washed. An analytical LiChrocart® 100 RP 18 (125 x 4.0mm i.d., 5 m particle size) C18 column was used to perform the separation. At an isocratic flow rate of 1.25 mL/minute, sodium dodecyl sulphate (0.3%) and 10 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH=6.0; 32.5:67.5, v/v) were pumped as the mobile phase. Quantification was carried out at 236 nm using a UV/Vis DAD. For metformin in plasma concentration ranges of 50–1600 ng/mL, the calibration curves were linear (r > 0.9998). With a minimal detection limit of 18 ng/ml, the test enables the measurement of metformin for therapeutic drug monitoring. The inter-day and intra-day assay coefficients of variation fell within clinically significant limits. For all three of the plasma quality control concentrations that were looked at, absolute recovery was reported to be better than 90%. The suggested method for measuring metformin in human plasma was discovered to be quick, exact, and accurate. This method was successfully applied to an oral dosage pharmacokinetic study in humans.
