    Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic drug with a combination of 5-HT2A receptor antagonist and partial agonist activity. 5-HT1A and D2 dopamine receptors show their therapeutic effect. This drug is used in the treatment of schizophrenia, type I bipolar disorders and as an adjunctive treatment in major depression.

    In cases where the appropriate response from the drug is not seen, it is necessary to measure the plasma levels in order to bring it to the necessary values ??before stopping the drug and replacing other antipsychotic drugs. Considering that the plasma level of aripiprazole reaches nanograms per milliliter, it is necessary to use a method that has the ability to identify and separate this drug at this low concentration.

    In this study, a liquid phase microextraction method using hollow fiber along with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and UV detector to preconcentrate and identify aripiprazole in plasma and urine was used Aripiprazole was extracted from 15 ml of sample alkaline solution with pH 8.8 into an organic solvent (octanol) which was located in the pores of the fiber wall. After that, this drug was introduced from the organic solvent into the water-receptive phase with an acidic nature inside the fiber. In this study, the effective factors in microextraction including the pH of donor phase and receptor phase, type of organic solvent, ionic strength of donor phase, temperature of donor phase, extraction time and stirring speed were investigated and optimized. After drug extraction with optimal conditions of donor phase with pH 8.8 and receptor phase with pH 2.4, organic solvent, ethanol, extraction time 45 minutes, temperature of donor phase 40 degrees Celsius, stirring speed 625 and Without adding salt, the pre-concentration factor was 127 and the detection limit was 3.9 ng/ml and the standard deviation was 2.4% in one working day and the relative standard deviation was 3.9% in several consecutive working days. gives Nowadays, the separation methods have made it possible to separate species in complex tissues with a very low detection limit (femtogram). In addition to the separation methods, the sample preparation stage is also one of the most important stages in the analysis process. This step involves converting the texture of a real sample into a state suitable for analysis by a separation technique or other methods. It can be said that the sample preparation stage is designed for the following purposes:

    1- Removing disturbances from the sample in order to increase the selectivity of the method

    2- Preconcentrating the desired analyte and increasing its concentration so that it can be measured with analytical devices.

    3- Converting the analytes into A form that is suitable for identification with an analytical device.

    The most basic method of sample preparation is the extraction method. The efforts of analytical chemists to invent and develop measurement methods with high precision and accuracy, as well as to eliminate manual steps that cause low reproducibility in analytical methods, have led to the invention of new extraction methods. Figure (A) categorizes different extraction and microextraction methods, which are detailed in the references (1).

    In general, liquid-liquid microextraction with drops and extraction methods based on the use of porous hollow fibers will be briefly discussed.

    . Necessity and importance of the topic

    Aripiprazole is an atypical antipsychotic drug that shows its therapeutic effect with a combination of antagonistic activity of 5-HT2A receptor and partial agonistic activity of 5-HT1A and D2 dopamine receptors. On the other hand, with its effects on these receptors, it causes unwanted side effects such as significant weight gain, akathisia, tremors, tardive dyskinesia, extrapyramidal side effects, postural hypotension, malignant neuroleptic syndrome, etc.The plasma level of this drug can be different among patients, and in cases where the appropriate response from the drug has not been seen, it is necessary to measure the plasma levels in order to bring it to the necessary levels before stopping the drug and replacing it with other antipsychotic drugs. Considering that its plasma level reaches nanograms per milliliter, it is necessary to use a method that has the ability to identify and separate this drug at this low concentration. One of these methods is the use of LC-MASS device, but this method is very expensive. Therefore, the aim of this thesis is to invent a new method using hollow fiber so that this drug can be concentrated in very small amounts and then measured with a simple HPLC device with a UV detector.

    1-2. Statement of the problem

    In order to measure the amount of aripiprazole in body fluids, a method should be used that helps the medical team in adjusting the dose of the drug without the need for blood sampling and through a non-invasive method, and has the power to identify and separate this drug. Using the drug pre-concentration method with the liquid phase microextraction with the help of halofiber, very small amounts of this drug can be concentrated and extracted in plasma and urine, then measured by HPLC. Since the elimination of this drug is mainly through feces and due to its half-life, it is possible to use the plasma sample of people for analysis. This method is very new and has not been used to preconcentrate and measure this drug.

    1-3. Objectives: To provide a simple and efficient extraction method with high precision. Performance liquid chromatography with UV detection methods was successfully developed for the determination of trace levels of Aripiperazole in biological fluids. The analyte was extracted into n-octanol that was immobilized in the wall pores of a porous hollow fiber from 15mL of aqueous sample (donor phase), and was back extracted into 20 µL of acceptor phase.

    Parameters effecting the extraction process such as type of extraction solvent, donor phase PH, acceptor phase PH, extraction time, stirring speed and salt addition were studied and optimized, under the optimized condition extraction solvent n-octanol, donor phase PH=8.8, acceptor phase PH=2.4, stirring speed 625 rpm, extraction time 45 min and without addition of salt, enrichment factor of 127 was obtained for the target drug. The percent relative intraday and interday standard deviations (RSD%) based on 3 replicate determinations were 2.4% and 3.9%. The developed method is simple, rapid, sensitive and is suitable for the determination of trace amounts of Aripiperazole in biological fluids.
