RESUMO

Depressive disorders imply in a variety of physical, mental and emotional disturbances. Amitriptyline, imipramine, nortriptyline e desipramine are tricyclic antidepressants (TAD) largely used in depression treatment. The TADs are drugs that show high inter individual variability in pharmacokinetics, low clinical response or even they are not straightforwardly measured. Therefore, it is necessary the development and validation of analytical methods for TAD determination in plasma samples. The developed methods have an extraction step for subsequently separation and quantification. The extraction methods appraised were liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid phase microextraction (SPME). The analytical techniques used for separation and further quantification were liquid chromatography (LC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE). Two methods were developed and validated: LLE/LC and LLE/CE. Using a PDMS coating (100 mm), a SPME/LC method (with off-line dessorption) was developed and the experimental conditions relative to SPME were optimized using a factorial planning (23) and a simplex methodology. The same optimized conditions (for PDMS) were used for a PDMS/DVB (65 mm) coating. According to the appraised parameters such as linearity, precision (intra and inter assays), recovery and limits of quantification and detection, the methods LLE/LC and LLE/CE showed suitable for TAD determination in plasma samples regarding the therapeutic plasmatic concentration. The SPME/LC method (off-line desorption) with PDMS/DVB coating has also shown LOQ lower than the minimum therapeutic plasmatic concentration, implying that may be subject to validation. This method may be used for TAD analysis even though the total analysis time was greater those from LLE/LC and LLE/CE methods. CE was also applied for TAD determination in pharmaceutical formulations and the electrophoretic behavior such compounds in different separation media, especially non-aqueous solvents, was studied. The validation and application of a method using CE for TAD determination in pharmaceutical formulations has shown the applicability of this technique for routine analysis. The migration order in aqueous and methanolic media is opposite to obtained in acetonitrile, and the pKa* of the TAD were determined in different media (aqueous, methanol and acetonitrile) by CE. With the calculated values, it was possible to correlate the species total charge to the migration order in each medium.
