    Abstract:
    In this study, three fluoroquinolones, pazufloxacin, ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, were simultaneously determined in spiked human serum by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection. Chromatography was performed using a C8 column with an isocratic mobile phase consisting of 1% triethylamine (pH 3.0)/acetonitrile (86/14, v/v). Protein precipitation was conducted using perchloric acid and methanol. The calibration curves for the three fluoroquinolones were linear over concentrations ranging from 0.1 to 20.0 microg/mL. The within-day and between-day coefficients of variation obtained from three fluoroquinolones were less than 7%, and relative errors ranged from -1.6% to 9.3%. Mean recoveries of pazufloxacin, ciprofloxacin, and levofloxacin from spiked human serum were 97%, 88%, and 90%, respectively. The proposed method proved to be simple and reliable for the determination of three fluoroquinolones.
