Abstract: A HPLC method was developed for determination of caffeine metabolites in urine(AFMU, 1X, 1U, 17X, 17U).The samplb added ammonium sulfate was extracted twice by a mixture of chloroform-isopropanol(85:15 vol/vol)and evaporated to dryness with a gentle stream ofair below)25℃.HPLC analysis was carried out on Shim Pack C18 column with methanol-ace-tonitrile-0.05% acetic acid (10:1:89 vol/vol) as the mobile phase and UV detection at 280nm.The assay procedure has been applied to determining urinary metabolites excreted after oral caffeine in a healthy sample(n = 120).Caffeine metabolite ratios were used to assess the poymorphicN-acetyltransferase and CYP1A2 activities.
