Abstract: | Summary A new, highly sensitive and selective gas chromatography method, using radiochemical detection (GC-DR) was developed for the
selective determination of3H-labelled deramciclane and its N-desmethyl metabolite in dog plasma. Inter-day accuracy and precision, as well as system
suitability of the GC-RD method was investigated during the method validation. The calibration curve was proved to be linear
(r=0.9986) in a wide concentration range (13–1000 ngeqv mL−1)
The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 13.7 ngeqv mL−1, and the limit of the detection (LOD) was 1 ngeqv mL−1.
Using this new GC-RD method, plasma levels of3H-labelled deramciclane and its metabolite were determined in dogs, after the administration of a single 10 mg kg−1 oral dose. Pharmacokinetic curves and the calculated pharmacokinetic parameters were compared to those obtained using a previously
elaborated gas chromatography-nitrogen selective detection method (GC-NPD) and to those obtained by measuring the plasma level
of total radioactivity (liquid scintillation counting, LSC). Pharmacokinetic curves and the calculated pharmacokinetic parameters
obtained with the two different gas chromatography detection methods (NPD and RD) showed good correlation. Comparison of these
results to those acquired by total radioactivity measurement demonstrated that deramciclane was intensively metabolised. Moreover,
the biological half-life (t
1
2/β
) of the unknown metabolites proved to be more than a magnitude longer than the half-life of the parent compound or that of
N-desmethyl metabolite.
