Abstract/OtherAbstract:
All-trans-retinoic acid (all-trans-RA) and 13-cis-retinoic acid (13-cis-RA), due to their effects on cell differentiation, proliferation and angiogenesis, improved treatment results in some malignancies. Pharmacokinetic studies of all-trans-RA and 13-cis-RA along with monitoring of retinoic acid metabolites may help to optimize retinoic acid therapy and to develop new effective strategies for the use of retinoic acids in cancer treatment. Therefore, we developed a HPLC method for the simultaneous determination in human plasma of the physiologically important retinoic acid isomers, all-trans-, 13-cis- and 9-cis-retinoic acid, their 4-oxo metabolites, 13-cis-4-oxoretinoic acid (13-cis-4-oxo-RA) and all-trans-4-oxoretinoic acid (all-trans-4-oxo-RA), and Vitamin A (all-trans-retinol). Analysis was performed on a silica gel column with UV detection at 350 nm using a binary multistep gradient composed of n-hexane, 2-propanol and glacial acetic acid. For liquid-liquid extraction a mixture of n-hexane, dichloromethane and 2-propanol was used. The limits of detection were 0.5 ng/ml for retinoic acids and 10 ng/ml for all-trans-retinol. The method showed good reproducibility for all components (within-day C.V.: 3.02-11.70%; day-to-day C.V.: 0.01-11.34%). Furthermore, 9-cis-4-oxoretinoic acid (9-cis-4-oxo-RA) is separated from all-trans-4-oxo-RA and 13-cis-4-oxo-RA. In case of clinical use of 9-cis-retinoic acid (9-cis-RA) the pharmacokinetics and metabolism of this retinoic acid isomer can also be examined.
