Abstract

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of 5-aminosalicylic acid (5-ASA), acetyl-5-aminosalicylic acid (Ac-5-ASA) and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid (5-HSA) in human endoscopic intestinal biopsy with electrochemical detection has been developed and validated. A liquid-liquid extraction procedure was used to isolate these drugs from the biological material prior to analysis. The compounds were separated on an Erbasil S reversed-phase column using methanol-citric acid-sodium hydrogenphosphate-heptanesulfonic acid-disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate (pH 3) as mobile phase. The method was linear from 1.0 to 300 ng ml−1 for 5-ASA, from 10 to 1000 ng ml−1 for Ac-5ASA and from 0.1 to 10 ng m−1 for 5-HSA. The limit of detection for 5-ASA and for Ac-5-ASA was 1 ng ml−1 and that for 5-HSA was 0.1 ng ml−1. This procedure is suitable for pharmacological and clinical studies of 5-ASA.

    Consequently, the necessity for clinical and pharmacological studies needs selective and sensitive analytical performances for the determination of drugs, particularly in several real biological fluids and also in environmental discharges. Several common analytical techniques are used for the determination of MZ in many biological matrices and pharmaceutical dosages such as high-performance liquid chromatography combined with UV [8,9], spectrophotometry [10], electrochemical detection [11], micellar electro-kinetic chromatography [12], fluorescence spectroscopy [13], liquid chromatography [14], capillary electrophoresis [15], automated chemiluminescence [16] and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry [17]. These chromatographic and spectrophotometric techniques require sample preparation, which needs expensive equipment, laborious, and time-consuming are considered to be a barrier towards MZ analysis.

    Mesalazine (mesalamine, 5-aminosalicylic acid, Fig. 1) is an anti-inflammatory medicine which is considered as a potential treatment for Crohn's disease and non-specific ulcerative colitis [1]. It is also regarded as a potent scavenger of reactive species of oxygen which involves an impressing role in the inhibition of antibody synthesis, inhibition of cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase pathway, and pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease [2,3]. As mesalazine belongs to class IV of the biopharmaceutics classification system, it shows low permeability and low aqueous solubility [4], improving its solubility leads to a high bioavailability, and low side effects.

    Mesalazine (mesalamine, 5-aminosalicylic acid, Fig. 1) as an anti-inflammatory drug is prescribed for the non-specific ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease [1,2]. It plays a significant role in blocking the production of prostaglandins and leukotrienes, inhibiting adenosine-induces secretion and antibody synthesis, and scavenging reactive oxygen metabolites [3,4]. Mesalazine is reported to be the most important intermediate drug for some azo drugs synthesis [5].
