Dear all,Back to the Top
We are developing the HPLC method for estimation of cortisol and 6-beta
hydroxy cortisol in urine. As cortisol and 6-beta hydroxy cortisol are
endogenous compounds, how can we get the blank urine without cortisol
and 6-beta hydroxy cortisol for method development and validation.
Thanks in advance,

There has been a method proposed by Doppenschmitt et al to prepare
cortisol free serum samples. Referece is given below:
Simultaneous determination of tramcinolone acetonide and hydrocortisone
in human plasma by HPLC, S.A Doppenschmitt, B. Scheidel, F. Harrison, J.P.
Surmann, J of Chromatography B, 682 (1996) 79-88.
one more reference that might be helpful to you:
Simultaneous determination of glucocorticoids in plsma or urine by HPLC
with precolumn fluorimetric derivatization by 9-Anthroyl nitrile, Nobugito
Shibata, Taro Hayakawa, Kanji Takada, Nobuo Hoshino, Tokuzo Minouchi, Akira
Yamaji, J of chromatography B, 706 (1998) 191-199
Hope this helps, Good luck
Sincerely,

I think you can prepare a simulated urine artificially minus these
endogenous compounds.

What we have used is water as a surrogate matrix to run both
calibration and QC samples.
What you are looking for are variations (increase/decrease) from
baseline, absolute quantification is not necessary and each subject
acts as its own control.

Dear Jayasagar gunduBack to the Top
You could try Amberlite XAD-2 columns reins to strip cortisol and
probably
6-beta hydroxy cortisol.

Dear Jaya sagarBack to the Top
If any estimations like this are difficult and involves careful
planning of the experiments. One way of doing this is by estimating
blank urine levels and constant substracting the value from all the
time point concentrations will reasonably give the estimation to a
greater precision and accuracy. Spiking standards and Quality controls
will follow the same way of subraction. Also Method developed should be
sensitive enough to detect the levels. Using same subject blank for
spiking standards and QCs would result in greater accuracy. Any
comments are wellcome.
