description

An automated method for simultaneous routine quantification of the antipsychotic drugs clozapine, olanzapine and their demethylated metabolites is described. The method included adsorption on a cyanopropyl (CPS) coated clean-up column (10 microm; 10 x 2.0 mm I.D.), washing off interfering serum constituents to waste, and separation on C18 ODS Hypersil reversed phase material (5 microm; 250 x 4.6 mm I.D.) using acetonitrile-water-tetramethylethylenediamine (37:62.6:0.4, v/v/v) adjusted to pH 6.5 with concentrated acetic acid. UV-detection was performed at 254 nm. The limit of quantification was 10-20 ng/ml. Relative day to day standard variations ranged between 4.5 and 13.5%. The method is suitable for routine monitoring of olanzapine and clozapine including their demethylated metabolites.
