Abstract
The separation and determination method of racemic isomers of flurbiprofen in urine samples have been investigated using column switching- HPLC, which include the sample treatment and concentration column. The optical rotation of two isomers separated were measured to identify d-form and l-form. The calibration curves are liear in the ranges of $0.11-5.4{\mu}g/mL$ for both d-form and l-form. The detection limits were $0.031{\mu}g/mL$ for l-isomes and $0.027{\mu}g/mL$ for d-isomer. The coefficients of variation of intra-day and inter-day precision of this method were about 1.8%. The present method was apllied to determine the concentration of racemic isomers in urine sample from human eating the drug.
