Simultaneous determination of an active metabolite and open-ring metabolites by high performance liquid chromatography and pharmacokinetic studies of a penem antibiotic, FCE22891, in dogs
1998
Abstract A sensitive high performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of an active metabolite (FCE22101) and open-ring metabolites (P1, P2) of a penem antibiotic, FCE22891, in dog plasma was developed. Plasma samples were pretreated only by ultrafiltration for the determination of the metabolites. The filtrates were directly analyzed by a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic system using a two-sided bracketing injection technique. The quantitation limits of FCE22101, P1 and P2 were 0.03, 0.1 and 0.15 μg ml −1 , respectively. Analysis of the spiked plasma samples demonstrated the good accuracy and precision of the method. The proposed method was applied to the pharmacokinetic studies of an active metabolite and open-ring metabolites after oral administration of a penem antibiotic, FCE22891, in dogs. In addition, the plasma levels of unchanged FCE22891 and the possible changes of formaldehyde and acyl- l -carnitine levels in plasma, which will be generated from the ester group of FCE22891, were also investigated.
