Abstract: | A sensitive analytical method has been developed for the quantitation of bretylium in plasma, urine and myocardial tissue. Bretylium and the internal standard, UM-360 (o-iodobenzyltrimethylammonium), are extracted and isolated as the iodide salts. Sodium benzenethiolate is added and the mixture heated to 100° for one hour. This results in the formation of 2-bromobenzyl phenyl thioether and 2-iodobenzyl phenyl thioether, which can be separated and quantitated by gas chromatography. Good reliability and reproducibility can be obtained using electron-capture detection with quantities of bretylium as small as 1 ng. |
