Abstract

Abstract A LC method using amperometric electrochemical detection has been developed for the quantitation of the adenosine regulating agent acadesine (AICA-riboside) in human plasma. Ultrafiltrates of plasma were chromatographed under isocratic conditions on a reverse-phase (C18) LC column using a mobile phase of 1.5% methanol in phosphate buffer at pH 6.3. The column eluant was monitored with a working electrode potential of +750 mV vs Ag/AgCl. Using a 250 μL, sample of plasma for analysis the method has a validated limit of quantitation (LOQ) for acadesine of 6.25 ng/mL with a run-time of 12 minutes/sample. This new method provides a 20-fold decrease in the detection limit for acadesine compared to a previous procedure which employed UV detection.
