A new method for simultaneous quantification of trimethoprim, sulfadiazine and N4-acetylsulfadiazine in plasma of broilers at levels down to 13-16 ng/ml has been developed. Samples were deproteinized with acetonitrile, defatted with hexane, and extracted with dichloromethane. Chromatographic analysis was carried out on a C18 column in the presence of tetrabutylammonium hydrogen sulfate, a competing base, while detection was performed at 240 nm for trimethoprim, and 270 nm for both sulfadiazine and N4-acetylsulfadiazine. Accuracy and precision data showed recoveries and relative standard deviation values better than 87.3% and 3.1%, respectively, for all three analytes. The good analytical characteristics of the method could allow limits of detection in the low ng/ml range to be realised. The method was successfully applied to determine drug concentrations in plasma samples from broilers administered a combination of sulfadiazine and trimethoprim.

Currently available information on drug lithiasis usually describes the calculi based on the prescriptions given to the patient, but without a physicochemical characterization of the calculi themselves. We here have applied different, complementary, physicochemical techniques for a complete characterization of an unusual urolithiasis calculus. The calculus was characterized using powder X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, 1H-NMR spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy.

Two major metabolites and one minor metabolite of sulfadiazine were found in pig manure, using a special combination of different MS techniques like parent and product ion scans, H/D exchange, accurate mass measurement, and MS/MS experiments with substructures. N4-acetylsulfadiazine and 4-hydroxysulfadiazine were identified as major metabolites. N4-acetylsulfadiazine could be verified by H/D exchange and comparison with product ion spectra of a synthetic reference compound.

The following metabolites of sulfadiazine (S) were isolated from monkey urine by preparative HPLC: 5-hydroxysulfadiazine (5OH), 4-hydroxysulfadiazine (4OH) and the glucuronide (5OHgluc) and sulfate conjugate of 5OH (5OHsulf). The compounds were identified by NMR, mass and infrared spectrometry and hydrolysis by beta-glucuronidase. The analysis of S, the hydroxymetabolites (4OH, 5OH) and conjugates N4-acetylsulfadiazine (N4), 5OHgluc and 5OHsulf in human and monkey plasma and urine samples was performed using reversed-phase gradient HPLC with UV detection.
