The document discusses several methods for extracting, analyzing, and detecting pravastatin and its metabolites from various sample matrices like plasma, feces, urine, and solutions using techniques like HPLC, SPE, and radiolabeling.

Pravastatin can be extracted from plasma samples using an immobilized antibody column or SPE cartridge. The column or cartridge is conditioned and plasma is added, washed, and the pravastatin is then eluted off.

Pravastatin and its metabolites can be analyzed using techniques like HPLC with UV or fluorescence detection after extraction from samples. Radiolabeling of starting materials can also be used to extract and detect metabolites. Semi-preparative HPLC can also be used to separate and collect metabolite fractions.

Pravastatin

Molecular formula: C23H36O7


Molecular weight: 423.5
CAS Registry No.: 81131-70-6 (pravastatin sodium),
81093-37-0 (pravastatin)

SAMPLE
Matrix: blood
Sample preparation: Condition an immobilized antibody column (preparation details in
paper) with 4 mL water, 4 mL MeOH: water 80:20, and 4 mL PBS. Add 1 mL plasma to
the column, let stand for 15 min, wash with two 4 mL portions of water, wash with 4 mL
PBS, wash with two 4 mL portions of water, elute with 4 mL MeOH. Add 100 (xL 100
ng/mL IS in water to the eluate, evaporate to dryness, reconstitute with 100 (xL DMF,
add 100 |xL 47.6 jxg/mL triethylamine in dioxane (Caution! Dioxane is a carcinogen!), add
100 |xL 51.8 |xL/mL diethyl phosphorocyanidate in dioxane, add 100 |xL 100 jxg/mL Ndansylethylenediamine (Molecular Probes, Inc., Eugene OR) in dioxane, stir for 10 s, let
stand at room temperature for 10 min, inject a 10 |xL aliquot onto column A and elute to
waste with mobile phase A. After 7.5 min elute the contents of column A onto column B
with mobile phase B. After 2.5 min remove column A from the circuit. Elute column B
with mobile phase B and monitor the effluent from column B.
