Quantitation of plasma warfarin levels by gas chromatography chemical ionization mass spectrometry. 1979

P H Duffield, and D J Birkett, and D N Wade, and A M Duffield

A quantitative assay for plasma concentrations of warfarin has been developed using a deuterated warfarin analogue as internal standard. The method employs methylation (diazomethane) of warfarin to its 4'-methoxy derivative and gas chromatography chemical ionization mass spectrometry. Selected ion monitoring was used to relate the response of warfarin methyl ether and the internal standard. This technique can measure warfarin plasma concentrations five days after a single oral (25 mg) dose. Warfarin half-lives were determined in 12 healthy male volunteers. Each plasma analysis required six minutes of instrument time.

D002849 Chromatography, Gas Fractionation of a vaporized sample as a consequence of partition between a mobile gaseous phase and a stationary phase held in a column. Two types are gas-solid chromatography, where the fixed phase is a solid, and gas-liquid, in which the stationary phase is a nonvolatile liquid supported on an inert solid matrix.

D014859 Warfarin An anticoagulant that acts by inhibiting the synthesis of vitamin K-dependent coagulation factors. Warfarin is indicated for the prophylaxis and/or treatment of venous thrombosis and its extension, pulmonary embolism, and atrial fibrillation with embolization. It is also used as an adjunct in the prophylaxis of systemic embolism after myocardial infarction. Warfarin is also used as a rodenticide. 4-Hydroxy-3-(3-oxo-1-phenylbutyl)-2H-1-benzopyran-2-one,Aldocumar,Apo-Warfarin,Coumadin,Coumadine,Gen-Warfarin,Marevan,Tedicumar,Warfant,Warfarin Potassium,Warfarin Sodium,Potassium, Warfarin,Sodium, Warfarin
