Two HPLC methods for the separation of a mixture of corticoids including the oxazolinic corticoid deflazacort and its metabolite 21-hydroxydeflazacort using different water-tetrahydrofuran mobile phases were developed. Both separations allowed the detection and determination of fifteen out of sixteen corticoids using different C18 columns. Extraction data for deflazacort and its metabolite using different extraction procedures are also reported. These separation conditions were applied to urine samples from two male volunteers administered Dezacor, with both doping control and clinical purposes.
