Gas chromatographic determination of buformin in body fluids and tissues, using a nitrogen phosphorus detector: application to a postmortem case. 1980

G De Groot, and R A Maes, and B Sangster, and A N van Heijst, and L F Verdonck

A specific method is described for the quantitation of the oral hypoglycemic biguanide buformin in biological material by gas chromatography. Phenformin, another biguanide derivative, is used as internal standard. Both compounds are converted to the corresponding s-triazine derivatives by reacting with acetic anhydride prior to gas chromatography with nitrogen-specific detection. The described procedure has been applied to the quantitative assay of buformin in body fluids and tissues, obtained from a postmortem case. The results of these toxicological investigations are discussed.

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.

D014018 Tissue Distribution Accumulation of a drug or chemical substance in various organs (including those not relevant to its pharmacologic or therapeutic action). This distribution depends on the blood flow or perfusion rate of the organ, the ability of the drug to penetrate organ membranes, tissue specificity, protein binding. The distribution is usually expressed as tissue to plasma ratios. Distribution, Tissue,Distributions, Tissue,Tissue Distributions
