    Abstract:
    A gradient elution high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for the analysis of the beta-lactamase inhibitor tazobactam (YTR-830H) and a semi-synthetic parenteral penicillin, piperacillin, in human plasma, serum, bile and urine. The assay for plasma, serum and bile involves deproteinization with acetonitrile and the removal of lipids with dichloromethane; urine is diluted with buffer. Separation and quantitation are achieved using a mobile phase based on ion-suppression chromatography on a C18 reversed-phase column with ultraviolet detection at 220 nm. The limit of quantitation for both compounds is 1.0 microgram/ml in plasma, serum and bile using a 0.2-ml sample and 50.0 micrograms/ml in urine using a 0.1-ml sample. The method has been validated by preparing and analyzing a series of fortified samples (range 1.0-200 micrograms/ml for each compound in plasma, serum and bile and 50.0-10,000 micrograms/ml for each compound in urine). Excellent linearity, accuracy, precision and recovery were obtained. The method was not interfered with by other endogenous components, nor by other commonly administered antibiotics such as amoxicillin, mezlocillin, cefometazole and cefotaxime. The assay has been successfully applied to the analysis of samples from pharmacokinetic studies in man and animals.
