A biocompatible in-tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) device was used for the direct and on-line extraction of camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin in human plasma. Biocompatibility was achieved through the use of a poly(methacrylic acidethylene glycol dimethacrylate) monolithic capillary column for extraction. Coupled to high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection, this on-line in-tube SPME method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin in human plasma. The calculated detection limits for camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin were found to be 2.62 and 1.79 ng/mL, respectively. The method was linear over the range of 10-1000 ng/mL. Excellent method reproducibility was achieved, yielding RSDs of 2.49 and 1.59%, respectively. The detection limit (S/N = 3) of camptothecin was found to reach 0.1 ng/mL using fluorescence detection. The proposed method was shown to cope robustly with the extraction and analysis of camptothecin and 10-hydroxycamptothecin in plasma samples.
