摘要

A high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method employing a C18 reversed-phase column, a mobile phase of sodium acetate and methanol, and an ultraviolet detector was developed for the analysis of 5-ethylpyrimidines and 5-methylpyrimidines in plasma. Samples were prepared for HPLC by sequential cation-exchange and anion-exchange column chromatography. Linear standard curves were obtained for samples containing 0.05-50 micrograms/ml 5-ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine and 5-ethyluracil, 0.05-10 micrograms ml 5-(1-hydroxyethyl)uracil, and 0.1-50 micrograms/ml thymidine, thymine and 5-hydroxymethyluracil. Applicability of the method to determination of the kinetics of 5-ethyl-2'-deoxyuridine elimination by the isolated perfused rat liver was demonstrated; clearance of the drug was 1.29 ml/min.
