Salting-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction method has been developed for plasma sample treatment before determination of alogliptin by high performance liquid chromatography with UV detection. Several parameters were optimized to achieve maximum enrichment including type of extractant, volume of extractant, type of anion, type of cation, salt amount and pH. The optimum conditions were achieved using 500 µL of acetonitrile, added to 1 mL of aqueous sample containing 250 mg of sodium chloride at pH 12. An RP-HPLC method was developed and validated according to the International Conference on Harmonization guidelines Q2 (R1). The method was linear in the concentration range of 0.1 to 50 µg/mL (correlation coefficient= 0.997). The limit of detection was 19 ng/mL and limit of quantitation was 60 ng /mL. The method was accurate and precise with a % recovery of 99.7% and a % relative standard deviation ranging between 1.5 and 2.5. These results showed that the salting-out induced liquid-liquid microextraction methods could be better than other sample preparation protocols in terms of sensitivity, easiness, solvent consumption and waste reduction.
