ABSTRACT
a simple, rapid, and with high specificity method has been proposed for the determination
of colchicine from biological samples as well from tablet. The method based on the reaction of the
colchicine with quaternary ammonium salt in aqueous solution. The analytical parameters such as
type of organic solvent (extraction solvent), volume of aqueous solvent, type of salt (ion-pairing
agent), concentration of salt and effect pH have been investigated. The calibration graph was
linear in the range of 0.3-6 g mL-1 with the correlation coefficient of 0.999 under the optimum
conditions. Good repeatability (R.S.D, %) 2.45, 1.33 and 2.36 for urine and 2.20, 1.97 and 2.79 for
plasma in three spiked level 5, 2 and 0.5 g mL-1 respectively and 2.26 for tablet was obtained.
