A simple, inexpensive and efficient method was used for extraction and determination of Fexofenadine and Levocetirizine with three–phase hollow fiber liquid-phase microextraction and high-performance liquid chromatography. Several parameters influencing the extraction recoveries such as the nature of organic extraction solvent, pH of donor and acceptor phases, stirring rate, extraction time and salt addition to the sample solution (donor phase) were investigated and optimized. Under the optimized conditions (toluene as organic solvent, pHdonor = 2.5, pHacceptor = 12.0, stirring rate of 1000 rpm, extraction time of 30 min, with no salt addition), extraction recoveries were 64% for Fexofenadine and 79% for Levocetirizine. A good clean-up sample with excellent linearities in the range of 1–500 ng/mL for Fexofenadine (R2=0.997) and 0.6-600 ng/mlfor Levocetirizine (R2=0.998) were obtained. The limits of detection were 0.3 ng/mL for Fexofenadine and 0.2 ng/mL for Levocetirizine.

The applicability of hollow fiber-based liquid phase microextraction (HF-LPME) was evaluated for the extraction and preconcentration of Loratadine prior to determination by HPLC. In order to obtain high extraction recovery, the parameters affecting the HF-LPME including type of organic phase, pH of the source and receiving phases, stirring rate, extraction time and salt addition were studied and optimized. Under the optimized conditions, enrichment factor of 308 with relative standard deviation (R.S.D.%) equel 3.8% were achieved. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.3–600 ng/ml with good linearity (R2 = 0.9991). The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.1 ng/ml (based on S/N = 3). Finally, determination of Loratadine in human plasma was used by HF-LPME-HPLC and indicated that this method had an excellent clean-up and high recovery factor (84%) for Loratadine.
