Development and Validation of a High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Method With UV Detection for Determination of 1-(2-phenylethyl)-5- (quinaldin-4-yl) Biuret in Rat Plasma.

Background: Recently, biuret derivatives have been reported as showing moderate to good cytotoxic effect against certain cancer cell lines. In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatography method was developed for determination of 1-(2-phenylethyl)-5-(quinaldin-4-yl) biuret (PEQB) in rat plasma to use in future studies on this compound and related derivatives.

Objectives: In this study, we describe a simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography method with UV detection for determination of 1-(2-phenylethyl)-6-(quinaldin-4-yl) biuret (PEQB) in rat plasma.
