Abstract

A simple, specific and sensitive method for the determination of levofloaxcin (LFX) in human serum was developed by a high performance liquid chromatography/diode array detector and applied to pharmacokinetic study of LFX in human volunteers. This method involves several steps such as precipitation with acetonitrile, extraction with methylene chloride, evaporation, and concentration, using 0.5ml of the serum. (omitted)
