title: High-performance liquid chromatographic analysis of 2',3'-dideoxyinosine in biological samples.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis for the anti-AIDS drug 2',3'-dideoxyinosine (ddI) in rat plasma and urine, with a limit of detection of 0.2 microgram/ml and requiring a sample size of 100 microliters is described. Diluted plasma or urine samples were extracted using a C18 solid-phase extraction column. Retention of ddI on more polar solid-phase extraction columns was insufficient for sample clean-up. This method is useful for pharmacokinetic studies of ddI in small rodents.
