Abstract:SUMMARY Sulphamonomethoxine (SMM), sulphadimidine (SDD), sulphadiazine (SDZ) and their N4-acetyl derivatives (AcSMM, AcSDD and AcSDZ) were intravenously injected into Goettingen miniature pigs and deacetylation was evaluated from plasma concentration-time curves, renal excretion, and rate constants obtained from pharmacokinetic analysis, using a non-linear least-squares method. Deacetylated metabolite was detected in both plasma and urine after intravenous injection of AcSMM, AcSDD and AcSDZ. The area under th… Show more
A method for the determination of sulfonamides and trimethoprim in the complex matrix liquid manure has been developed using reversed-phase liquid chromatography and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) tandem mass spectrometry. A comparison was made between electrospray and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization. APCI proved to be more robust and less sensitive to matrix effects. High-performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) separation of the analytes was achieved in less than 7 min. The compounds were extracted with ethyl acetate and the extracts were cleaned up by solid-phase extraction on an aminopropyl column. Recoveries were not dependent on the concentration level. The mean recoveries were as follows: trimethoprim 79.0%, sulfadiazine 80.5%, N(4)-acetylsulfadiazine 91.0%, sulfamerazine 78.6%, sulfadimidine 77.2% and sulfamethoxazole 82.8%. Linearity was established over a concentration range of 5 to 5000 microg/kg with correlation coefficients greater than 0.99. The method had a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 5 microg/kg manure.

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
