title: High-performance liquid chromatographic determination of navelbine in MO4 mouse fibrosarcoma cells and biological fluids.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatographic method is described for separating and determining navelbine and possible metabolites in plasma, cell culture medium and MO4 cells. Navelbine is extracted from these fluids by ion-pair extraction with sodium octylsulphate as the counter-ion at pH 3. The system uses a cyano column as the stationary phase and a mobile phase of acetonitrile-0.12 M phosphate buffer (pH 3) (60:40, v/v). Application of the method to a study of the pharmacokinetic behaviour of navelbine in MO4 mouse fibrosarcoma cells is reported.
