Plasma protein binding study of oxybutynin by high-performance frontal analysis.

Plasma protein binding of oxybutynin (OXY) was investigated quantitatively and enantioselectively using high-performance frontal analysis (HPFA). An on-line HPLC system which consists of HPFA column, extraction column and analytical column was developed to determine the unbound concentrations of OXY enantiomers in human plasma, in human serum albumin (HSA) solutions, and in human alpha1-acid glycoprotein (AGP) solutions. OXY is bound in human plasma strongly and enantioselectively.
