RESUMO
An analytical methodology was developed to quantitate the intracellular nucleotides including mono-, di-, and triphosphates and the diphosphocholine derivative of (−)-2′,3′-deoxy-3′-thiacytidine (3TC) in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). The procedure includes the resolution of 3TC nucleotides by solid-phase extraction (SPE) on an anion-exchange cartridge, with subsequent enzyme digestion of the resulting phosphates to the parent drug that is ultimately quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography with UV detection (HPLC-UV). Validation was performed with PBMCs from healthy donors exposed to [3H]3TC, leading to the formation of intracellular nucleotides that were quantitated by anion-exchange HPLC with radioactive detection (HPLC-RA). These nucleotide levels served as reference values and were used for cross-validation with data obtained by HPLC-UV. An excellent correlation was established between the results obtained by HPLC-RA and those obtained by HPLC-UV, with a slope of the regression lines close to unity and intercepts near nullity as well as a correlation coefficient close to unity for all 3TC phosphates. The assay was characterized by a limit of quantitation below 1 ng (amount on column) with a precision (percentage of coefficient of variation of repeated measurement) ranging from 0.8 to 18.1% and an accuracy (deviation of the amount determined by HPLC-UV from the nominal reference value) varying from −14.8 to 19.4%. This methodology was successfully applied to determine the quantity of 3TC nucleotides in PBMCs of a patient infected with human immunodeficiency virus after oral administration of 3TC and stavudine.
