Simultaneous determination of free and bound adriamycin, adriamycinol, adriamycinone and duanorubicin in plasma using column-switching technique and protein-coated pre-columns.
Adriamycin, adriamycinol, adriamycinone and duanorubicin were simultaneously determined by the development of an on-line plasma clean-up system. A short protein-coated Lichrosorb, RP-8, RP-2, CN and muBondapak phenyl as well as ODS silica have been examined for their performance as pre-columns. The drugs and metabolites were separated from weakly retained plasma components through two steps; phosphate buffer saline, pH 7.4 and 15% acetonitrile in 0.1 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate, pH 3. The chromatographic conditions were: ODS/TM column, flow rate 1 ml/min, 35% acctonitrile in 0.1 M sodium dihydrogen phosphate (pH 3) containing 0.3% heptafluorobutyric acid as mobile phase. The detection was carried out using fluorescence monitor operated at an emission 555 nm and excitation 460 nm. Good resolution was obtained within 13 min. This method is reproducible for analysis of drugs and metabolites (99.3-100.1%, CV < 2%) in plasma.
