Abstract: | Sulphadimethoxine is metabolized in humans by N1-glucuronidation and by N4-acetylation. Sulphadimethoxine-N1-glucuronide can be measured by the direct high-performance liquid chromatographic analysis and without enzymic deglucuronidation. The N1-glucuronide can be measured by an isocratic as well as by a gradient mobile phase. The group contribution of the N1-glucuronide moiety to the capacity factor is a reduction of 0.24 in the isocratic system and 0.55 in the gradient system. N4-Acetylation increases the capacity factor by a factor 1.4 in the isocratic system and by 1.06 in the gradient system. |
