Liquid chromatographic determination of daunorubicin and daunorubicinol in plasma from leukemic patients. 1978

S Eksborg, and H Ehrsson, and B Andersson, and M Beran

A method is given for the determination of daunorubicin and its main metabolite, daunorubicinol, in plasma from leukemic patients after administration of daunorubicin as the free drug or as a complex with DNA. Daunorubicin and daunorubicinol are extracted from 2 ml of plasma (pH 8.1) using a mixture of chloroform and 1-heptanol (9:1). After re-extraction into phosphoric acid (0.1 M), the separation is performed as reversed phase liquid chromatography on a LiChrosorb RP-2 (5 micrometer) column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water, acidified with phosphoric acid. The precision, by quantitation with a photometric detector, was better than 2% within the range 20 ng/ml to 200 ng/ml. Some determinations of plasma levels of daunorubicin and daunorubicinol are presented.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

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.
