RESUMO
A rapid, precise and robust HPLC separation procedure has been developed and optimized for the determination of a series of drugs of different therapeutic classes: chlortetracycline, oxitetracycline, cefoperazone, diclofenac, tiamphenicol, marbofloxacin, ciprofloxacin, danofloxacin, enrofloxacin and flumequine. The chromatographic method used a monolithic C18 column and both diode array and fluorescence detection. This procedure was validated for the analysis of drugs in cow urine, using a simple and fast procedure with methanol/acetonitrile, allowing the simultaneous and efficient extraction of most of the studied drugs. The proposed method was successfully applied to the determination of enrofloxacin in cow urine, collected after the administration of this antibiotic.
