    Abstract:
    A quantitative method for determination of quetiapine (QTP) in human serum is presented. The method is fully automated and based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with on-line solid phase extraction (SPE). The extraction procedure is based on a C2 cartridge, which is eluted with methanol. The eluate is injected onto a silica column with a mobile phase consisting of methanol:20 mM NH(4)CH(3)COO, pH 5.0 (99:1). Quetiapine is quantified by ultra-violet (UV) absorbance at 257 nM with trifluoperazine as the internal standard (I.S.). The extraction recoveries for quetiapine and trifluoperazine were 69 and 57%, respectively. The total inter day coefficient of variation was 11.1, 3.8 and 3.1% at 20, 500 and 1000 nM, respectively. The detection limit was 10.3 nM quetiapine. The method has been used in our therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) laboratory where co-administered drugs often are observed. In an investigation of analytical interference from co-administered drugs, demethyl-mianserine was the only drug which interfered with the internal standard. There was no interference with quetiapine itself. The method showed good agreement with mass spectrometric quantification of quetiapine.
