A high-performance liquid chromatographic procedure with a postcolumn
fluorescence derivatization is developed for the analysis of oleandrin in bovine
blood. Oleandrin is separated by an octadecylsilane-bonded column with a mobile
phase containing dehydroascorbic acid. The effluent of the column is mixed with
concentrated hydrochloric acid and passed through poly(tetrafluoroethylene)
tubing maintained at 70°C. The resultant fluorophores are detected at 465
nm with excitation at 348 nm. Simple solid-phase extraction using Sep-Pak tC2
is effective for sample purification. We found the minimal detectable quantity
of oleandrin in plasma to be 1.5 ng/mL at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1.
