Abstract:
In the present study, small volumes of plasma were used for the measurement of bromvalerylurea (BVU), its metabolite, 3-methylbutyrylurea (MVU), and bromide in carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-treated rats by HPLC-UV and energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry. A liquid-liquid extraction system was also investigated. BVU and MVU were extracted from 100 microl plasma samples in a single-step involving deproteination with 1 M hydrochloric acid using ethenzamide as internal standard. Samples were separated by HPLC in an acetonitrile-8 mM potassium dihydrogenphosphate buffer (35:65, v/v) mobile phase at a flow-rate of 0.4 ml/min on a 15 cm octadecylsilyl column at room temperature. Analytes were detected at a wavelength of 210 nm. The limits of quantitation for BVU, MVU and bromide are 0.1, 0.1 and 50 microg/ml, respectively. The intra-day accuracies over the range of concentrations were 95.8 to 121.1%, 97.2 to 119.7% and 96.2 to 105.8% for BVU, MVU and bromide, respectively. The inter-day accuracies were 97.7 to 115.1%, 98.3 to 111.6% and 98.3 to 102.9% for BVU, MVU and bromide, respectively. The absolute recoveries using tert.-butyl methyl ether are 96-98% for BVU and 95-98% for MVU. The decline in the plasma concentrations of BVU in olive oil-treated rats fitted a one-compartment model and the plasma MVU level reached a peak at around 1.5-2 h and then decreased gradually. The elimination of BVU in CCl4 (1 ml/kg)-treated rats was delayed and MVU production was less than that in the olive oil-treated group. However, there was no difference in the plasma levels of bromide between CCl4-treated rats and control rats. rights reserved.
