Abstract: | A selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) assay for a sigma receptor antagonist, DuP 734 (I), in rat plasma has been developed. Compound I and internal standard, XC031 (I.S.), were first extracted from plasma into an ethyl acetate—toluene mixture (3:7, v/v) and then back-extracted into freshly prepared phosphoric acid (0.03 M). Separation of I and I.S. with no interference from endogenous substances was achieved on a reversed-phase octyl column and detection was by UV at 229 nm. The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile—glacial acetic acid—triethylamine—0.05 M ammonium acetate (670:4:2:2000, v/v). Using 0.5 ml of rat plasma for extraction, the limit of quantitation was 43 ng/ml and the assay was linear from 43 to 8536 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-day coefficients of variation ranged from 0.7 to 3.0%, and from 1.4 to 14.5%, respectively, over the entire concentration range. The accuracy was within 16.1% of the spiked concentrations. I was stable in frozen plasma at −20°C for at least 68 days. |
