  A sensitive and specific reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for determination of the benzothiazepine calcium channel blocker diltiazem and three of its main metabolites in human plasma. A solid-phase extraction method (C18) is described for isolating diltiazem and the metabolites N-demethyl- diltiazem (M(A)), deacetyldiltiazem (M1) and N-demethyl-deacetyl- diltiazem (M2) from human plasma spiked with trans-diltiazem as internal standard. Chromatographic analysis of the eluate was accomplished using a reversed-phase column (C8) and a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile, potassium dihydrogen phosphate-buffer (pH 2.9), triethylamine and methanol (280:598:2:90 v/v/v/v). The limit of detection was 5 ng/ml for diltiazem and 2.5 ng/ml for the metabolites (UV detection). Recoveries were > 75% for all substances. Precision analysis indicated a coefficient of variation below 5% for both diltiazem and metabolites at plasma concentrations ranging from 30 to 120 ng/ml for diltiazem and from 15 to 60 ng/ml for the metabolites. The accuracy was < 3% for diltiazem at all concentrations investigated. Metabolites showed an accuracy of < 7% at higher concentrations, however at low concentration the accuracy was < 16%. A pilot study has been performed in order to study whether the method was applicable to patients and volunteers. Plasma samples from renal transplanted patients treated with cyclosporin A and healthy volunteers did not show any interference by cyclosporin A with the determination of diltiazem and metabolites.

  An automated method for determination of citalopram and N-desmethylcitalopram is described. The procedure combines on-line dialysis and trace enrichment prior to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). An existing method for determination of citalopram and its four metabolites was modified and optimalised. Proteins and particles were removed by dialysis before trace enrichment on a C8 column. Separation was performed on a C18 analytical column, and the analytes were subsequently detected with a fluorescence detector at an excitation wavelength of 249 nm and an emission wavelength of 302 nm. The correlation coeffisient were 0.994 or above. Automated determination of the total concentration of citalopram and N-desmethylcitalopram in plasma by the automated dialysis-HPLC was shown to be an accurate and reproducible method. The sample throughput was 70 samples in 24 h. In a minor clinical study, blood samples from eight patients treated with citalopram were analysed using the method. The aim of this study was to examine the correlation between adverse effects/interactions of citalopram and plasma drug concentration. A correlation between citalopram dose and plasma concentration was found. No correlation between adverse effects and plasma drug concentration was observed.

  The calcium channel blocker diltiazem is subjected to complex metabolism including desacetylation, N-demethylation and O-demethylation. The CYP3A subfamily, mainly represented by the isoenzyme CYP3A4 in humans, is formerly shown to catalyse the N-demethylation of diltiazem (Pichard et al. 1990). In a previous interaction study between diltiazem and cyclosporine A in renal transplanted patients, it was speculated that CYP2D6 might be involved in the metabolism of diltazem (Åsberg et al. 1999). The aim of the present study was to see if the polymorphic CYP2D6 is involved in the O-demethylation of diltiazem. To study this tranfected human liver epithelal cells (THLE) expressing high levels of CYP2D6 (T5-2D6) were used. Diltiazem was substantially O-demethylated in incubations with T5-2D6 cells and no sign of N-demethylated metabolites were observed. O-Demethylation was inhibited by the quinidine (CYP2D6 inhibitor) but not erythromycin (CYP3A4 inhibitor). These results demonstrate that O-demethylation of diltiazem is mediated by CYP2D6. The pharmacokinetics of diltiazem show large inter-individual variability. This might be due to phenotypic variabilty in CYP3A4 expression (10-40 fold) and gentic polymorpfism of CYP2D6. It is known that about 5-10 % of Caucasians (white Europeans) have minor CYP2D6 activity due to genetic mutations (poor metaboliseres) indicating that this part of the population lack the ability to O-demethylate diltiazem. Dissimilarities in metabolic status might also reflect differences in susceptibility to drug interactions within patients treated with diltiazem.
