Abstract
TLC on cellulose plates was used to identify methylated products of inorganic arsenic metabolism (monomethylarsonate and dimethylarsinate) in biological samples. Two solvent systems were tested: methanol-ammonium hydroxide (8:2) and isopropanol-acetic acid-water (10:1:2.5). The latter solvent system produced the most satisfactory separation of radiolabelled methylated arsenic compounds in aqueous solution, in rat liver cytosol incubated with carrier-free or 1 microM [73As]arsenite and in urine of mice given carrier-free [73As]arsenate or 5 mg of [73As]arsenate/kg per os. Oxidation of samples by hydrogen peroxide improved the separation and quantitation of monomethylarsonate in both biological matrices.
