We describe a sensitive and specific liquid-chromatographic assay for pentoxifylline and three of its metabolites in human plasma and urine. Addition of hydrochloric acid to the sample before extraction, and incorporation of acetic acid in the chromatographic eluent, allow the simultaneous determination of the four compounds plus an internal standard in one chromatographic run. Unlike gas-chromatographic procedures, this method does not involve derivatization no similar analysis of serum or plasma samples has been described before now. The method has been applied successfully to routine analysis and to pharmacokinetic studies.

D013805 Theobromine 3,7-Dimethylxanthine. The principle alkaloid in Theobroma cacao (the cacao bean) and other plants. A xanthine alkaloid that is used as a bronchodilator and as a vasodilator. It has a weaker diuretic activity than THEOPHYLLINE and is also a less powerful stimulant of smooth muscle. It has practically no stimulant effect on the central nervous system. It was formerly used as a diuretic and in the treatment of angina pectoris and hypertension. (From Martindale, The Extra Pharmacopoeia, 30th ed, pp1318-9)
