Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatographic method of reversed-phase with a post-column iodineazide reaction has been developed and validated for the determination of thioguanine. Isocratic elution was performed on a column of C18 using acetonitrile- water-sodium azide solution (1.5%; pH 6.5) 16: 34: 50 (v/v/v) as a mobile phase with flow-rate of 0.5 mL/min. Monitoring of unreacted iodine in post-column iodine-azide reaction induced by thioguanine resulted in its detection at 350 nm. The method applied to thioguanine was linear within the scope of values 8–100 nM (r 2 > 0.9988). The relative standard deviation (RSD < 4.2%) and the recovery (>96%) prove that the intra-day precision and the accuracy were satisfactory. The lower limits of detection (LLD) and quantification (LLQ) of thioguanine were established at the levels of 6 and 8 nM, respectively. The elaborated method was validated and applied to thioguanine determination in tablets.
