Popis: A simple restricted-access media (RAM) HPLC method for simultaneous determination of the lactone and carboxylate forms of 10-hydroxycamptothecin (HCPT) in human serum was established. Using a RAM Hisep analytical column, serum samples were directly injected into the HPLC system. The eluted peaks of two forms of HCPT were monitored with a fluorescence detector. The separation was completed in 17 min. The linear range was 20–1000 ng/ml, intra-day and inter-day variations being less than 5%. The kinetic equation was introduced according to the analytical results. The equation shows that the course of the HCPT lactone form converting to carboxylate form in human serum at 4 °C is a first-order kinetic course. The concentration of each form at the moment of sampling was calculated by extrapolation.
