B. Paw et G. Misztal, THIN-LAYER CHROMATOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS OF ANTIMETABOLITES OF PYRIMIDINE-BASES IN HUMAN PLASMA, Chemia Analityczna, 42(1), 1997, pp. 37-40
Antimetabolites of pyrimidine bases - cytarabine, ftorafur, 6-azauridi
ne, 5-fluorouracil, trifluorothymidine, and two metabolites - uracil a
rabinoside (metabolite of cytarabine) and uracil (metabolite of ftoraf
ur), extracted from plasma, were separated by TLC on silica gel in hor
izontal chambers. The substances were visualized by UV irradiation. Af
ter extraction from plasma it was possible to detect 200 ng of cytarab
ine, uracil arabinoside, uracil, trifluorothymidine and 5-fluorouracil
and 300 ng of ftorafur and 6-azauridine.
