title: Measurement of both protein-bound and total S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethanethiol (WR-1065) in blood by high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for automated analysis of both protein-bound and total S-2-(3-aminopropylamino)ethanethiol (WR-1065) in blood has been developed in our laboratory. WR-1065 is the active thiol metabolite of the radio- and chemo-protector drug amifostine (WR-2721). Using WR-1065 quality control levels over the experimental range: 7.0, 45.0 and 85.0 micromol/l spiked into plasma, method validation for total WR-1065 included between-run assessment of imprecision (SD/C.V.%: 1.11/16.7%, 6.58/15.5% and 9.24/11.3%, respectively) and % accuracy (94.7, 106.0 and 97.2%).
