  • Title: Capillary zone electrophoresis determination of thyreostatic drugs in urine.
    Author: Vargas G, Havel J, Frgalová K.
    Journal: J Capillary Electrophor; 1998; 5(1-2):9-12. PubMed ID: 10327364.
    Abstract:
    In this work, a new capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) method has been developed for the analysis of thyreostatic drugs (TD) such as methylthiouracil (MTU), propylthiouracil (PTU), and thiouracil (TU) in urine specimens. An untreated fused-silica capillary tube (75 microns i.d., 57 cm total length, 49.5 cm length to the detector) was used in all of the experiments. Optimal conditions were found using 50 mM borate buffer, pH 7.6, applied voltage 15 kV, 25 degrees C, and 30 sec of hydrodynamic injection. UV detection at 276 nm was employed. Ethylacetate extraction of the compounds was made before the analysis of each urine sample. An electrostacking procedure to increase the sensitivity was applied. The method developed was used for the analysis of several thousands of samples as part of a veterinary control procedure (Institute for State Control of Veterinary Biological and Medicaments, Brno, Czech Republic). The following detection limits were reached: 0.3 ppm (PTU and MTU) and 0.5 ppm (TU). The standard deviation for PTU, MTU, and TU determination was 1.12, 0.98, and 3.8% rel., respectively.
