A new analytical method, based on the use of liquid chromatography with coulometric detection, has been developed and applied to quantify risperidone and its main active metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidone in human plasma and saliva The analytes were separated on a reversed phase C18 column, using a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile (26%) and a pH 6.5 phosphate buffer (74%) Pipamperone was used as the internal standard A high sensitivity coulometric detection analytical cell containing two flow-through working electrodes was used: electrode 1 was set at +0.500 V and electrode 2 at +0 700V. The detector response was linear over a plasma and saliva concentration range of 0.5-50.0 ng mL(-1) for risperidone and 0.5-100 0 ng mL(-1) for 9-hydroxyrisperidone. The limit of quantitation and the limit of detection for risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone were 05 ng mL(-1) and 0 17 ng mL(-1), respectively. A novel clean-up procedure of biological samples was developed using the microextraction by packed sorbent technique, which gave good extraction yield for both the analytes, with absolute recovery values higher than 90 1% The intra-day and the inter-day precision results, expressed by relative standard deviation values, were lower than 5 8% Accuracy and selectivity assays were also satisfactory. The validated method has been successfully applied to the analysis of risperidone and 9-hydroxyrisperidone in plasma and saliva of psychiatric patients undergoing therapy with risperidone.
