A simple and rapid HPLC-UV method for the determination of valproic acid in human plasma using microwave-assisted derivatization with phenylhydrazine hydrochloride.
Heliyon 2024 March 31
This study presents an efficient high-performance liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (HPLC-UV) method for monitoring valproic acid (VPA) level in human plasma. This method is distinguished by its simplicity, cost-effectiveness, and rapid execution, addressing the limitations associated with other advanced analytical techniques like liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and immunoassays, which are generally complex and costly for routine application. A challenge in analyzing VPA is its non-linear protein binding profile and the absence of a chromophore in its structure, making direct detection difficult. To overcome this, the study developed an efficient HPLC-UV for VPA determination in human plasma, utilizing a simplified and rapid microwave-assisted derivatization process. Due to the lack of a chromophore in VPA structure, this work developed a microwave-assisted derivatization of VPA using phenylhydrazine hydrochloride (PH HCl). The process optimization was achieved at 450 W for 50 s, facilitating effective HPLC-UV detection. The derivatized product was characterized using 1 H nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FT-IR). The derivative, identified as (Z)-N -phenyl-2-propylpentanehydrazonic acid, demonstrated specificity in plasma analysis with no detectable interference. The method exhibited a linear response for VPA concentrations ranging from 30 to 150 μg/mL, with a correlation coefficient exceeding 0.99. Recovery varied between 86.7% and 107%, with a maximum coefficient of variation (CV) of 10.0%. The findings suggest that the microwave-assisted derivatization technique substantially improves the feasibility and cost-effectiveness of HPLC-UV for the analysis of VPA in plasma. This method provides a viable alternative to conventional HPLC methodologies, offering a balance of efficiency and economic practicality for VPA quantification.
