摘要

A sensitive and selective high-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for determination of 6-benzyl-1-benzyloxymethyl-5-iodouracil (W-1), a novel non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor in rat plasma, was developed and validated. Chromatographic separation of W-1 and megestrol acetate (internal standard) was achieved on a reversed-phase C-18 column at 25 degrees C. The mobile phase was consisted of acetonitrile-water (60:40, v/v) and pumped at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. The ultraviolet (UV) detector was set at the absorption wavelength of 284 nm. The calibration curve for W-1 was linear over the concentration range of 0.01-8 mu g/mL and the lower limit of quantification was 10 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were <8.9 and 5.3%, respectively. The extraction recoveries ranged from 97.9 to 101.6%. The validated HPLC method was successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of W-1 in rats.
