    Abstract:
    High-performance liquid chromatographic methods using reversed-phase chromatography and electrochemical detection have been developed for the quantitation of azithromycin in serum and tissues of laboratory animals and humans. Serum sample preparation involved addition of internal standard, alkalinization, and solvent extraction. Tissue sample preparation involved Polytron homogenization in acetonitrile containing internal standard, evaporation of the supernatant, alkalinization of the residue, and solvent extraction. Serum samples were chromatographed on an alkylphenyl-bonded silica column eluted with pH 6.8-7.2 mobile phase with a dual-electrode coulometric detector operated in the oxidative screen mode. Serum and tissue samples were chromatographed on a gamma RP-1 alumina column with pH 11 mobile phase with a glassy carbon amperometric detector. Recovery of azithromycin was 87% from serum and 85% from tissues. Linear standard curves were prepared in serum over two concentration ranges (0.01-0.20 and 0.20-2.0 micrograms/ml) and in tissues over several concentration ranges (0.1-2, 1-10, 10-100, and 100-1000 micrograms/g). In serum and tissues, intra- and inter-assay precision ranged from 1 to 8% and 4 to 11%, respectively. The tissue assay has been applied to liver, kidney, lung, spleen, muscle, fat, brain, tonsil, lymph nodes, eye, prostate and other urological tissues, and gynecological tissues.
