Abstract
Cytochrome P450 1A2 (CYP1A2) plays an important role in drug metabolism. Caffeine (CAF) is converted into paraxanthine (PX) by this enzyme and is used as a xenobiotic substrate to determine the CYP1A2 phenotype in humans. A method for the quantification of CAF and PX in saliva was developed using liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl acetate and analysis with ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography. Peaks from CAF, PX and internal standard were resolved within 6 min. The method was validated from 0.05 to 5 mu g mL(-1) CAF and 0.025-2.5 mu g mL(-1) PX. Inter- and intra-day accuracies ranged from 91.2 to 107.2% with precisions
