Extraction technologies for clinical HPLC analysis of serum progesterone, 17α-hydroxyprogesterone and synthetic progestin’s
Keywords:
17a-hydroxyprogesterone, progesterone, liquid-liquid extraction (LLE), solid-phase extraction (SPE), hyper cross-linked polystyrene, HPLC.Abstract
The methods of liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) from human serum
for 17a-hydroxyprogesterone and progesterone, as well as, synthetic progestin's are developed. The analysis
carried out by means of conventional reversed-phase HPLC with UV detection. LLE made by mean of
pentane – dichloromethane/chloroform, SPE on cartridges packed 30 mg hyper cross-linked polystyrene.
Simplicity, reproducibility both sufficient selectivity and sensitivity of a method, allow to use it in a clinical
practice for an estimation of the hormonal status at women, including receiving synthetic steroid drugs.
