Quantitative thin-layer chromatography: thin-film fluorescence scanning analysis of adriamycin and metabolites in tissue.
A rapid, non-hydrolytic thin-film fluorescence scanning method is described for the quantitation of adriamycin and metabolites in tissues. Adriamycin, with daunomycin added as the internal standard, was extracted from tissue homogenate which contained 500 micrograms of oxalic acid, with ice-cold 0.5 N hydrochloric acid--85% isopropanol, separated by thin-layer chromatography, and quantitated in situ via a fluorescence scanning technique. This method has a sensitivity to 0.05 microgram per gram of tissue.
