A fast, selective, and reproducible high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed and validated for the analyses of third-generation cephalosporin antibiotics, namely, ceftriaxone, cefixime, and cefdinir in human plasma. The analysis was carried out on a 150 mm Ã- 4.6 mm, 5.0-µm C18 column. The mobile phase used was 80:20 (v/v) 50 mmM phosphate buffer (pH 5.0)–methanol at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min with 230-nm UV detection.
