High sensitivity (10(-7) to 10(-9) M) reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis of adenine nucleosides and nucleotides, especially in a biological matrix, is difficult using only ultraviolet detection. Derivatization coupled with fluorescence detection has been investigated as a means of enhancing sensitivity for the reversed-phase HPLC analysis of 2'-beta-fluoro-2',3'-dideoxyadenosine (F-ddA), an experimental, acid-stable, anti-AIDS drug. The reaction of chloroacetaldehyde with the adenine base has been employed to form fluorescent 1,N(6)-etheno derivatives of F-ddA and 5'-deoxyadenosine, which is used as an internal standard. These derivatives give an analytically useful fluorescence emission at 416 nm after excitation at 230, 265, or 275 nm. Derivatization, fluorescence detection and reversed-phase chromatography have been optimized for the analysis of nanomolar concentrations of F-ddA in human plasma. This method has potential for the measurement of F-ddA at low concentration and in limited volume samples from in vivo biological studies.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D016048 Dideoxyadenosine A dideoxynucleoside compound in which the 3'-hydroxy group on the sugar moiety has been replaced by a hydrogen. This modification prevents the formation of phosphodiester linkages which are needed for the completion of nucleic acid chains. The compound is an inhibitor of HIV replication, acting as a chain-terminator of viral DNA by binding to reverse transcriptase. Its principal side effect is nephrotoxicity. In vivo, dideoxyadenosine is rapidly metabolized to DIDANOSINE (ddI) by enzymatic deamination; ddI is then converted to dideoxyinosine monophosphate and ultimately to dideoxyadenosine triphosphate, the putative active metabolite. 2',3'-Dideoxyadenosine,ddA (Antiviral),2',3' Dideoxyadenosine
