Abstract
Pyronaridine is a promising antimalarial drug for the treatment of P. Jalciparum malaria
which is resistant to chloroquine. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) and high
perfonnance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method with fluorescence detection have
been developed to analyse pyronaridine and its related compounds in pyronaridine raw
material. Chromatographic separation for TLC was carried out using benzene :
methanol: dietylamine (80:20:1 v/v). With respect to HPLC method, chromatographic
separation was performed on. a reversed phase C18, Partisil 10, ODS 3 column (250 x
4.6 mm) at room temperature (27°C) with methanol and acetate buffer (0.05M, pH 4)
(50:50 v/v) as the mobile phas~. Flow rate of the mobile phase was 1.2 mllmin.
Fluorescence detection was used and Aex and Aem were set at 267 nm and 443 nm
respectively. The analysis of raw samples using HPLC and TLC shows 3 peaks (namely
B, X and Y) and 3 spots respectively. Column chromatography was then used to isolate
B and Y after refluxing pyronaridine raw materials in water. Infra red, mass
spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance analysis indicated that Y is pyronaridine.
Compound Y was then used as the standard to prepare calibration curves for the
detennination of pyronaridine in biological fluids using solid phase extraction. The
overall recoveries from plasma for pyronaridine and quinidine (internal standard) were
95.2 and 82.3 % respectively. The assay procedure was adequately sensitive to measure
5 ng/ml pyronaridine in plasma samples with acceptable precision «10% CV). The
validated analytical method was used to detennine pyronaridine in clinical samples
from five Thai patients with uncomplicated falciparum malaria. All patients received 12
mglkg pyronaridine daily for three days via the oral dose. The maximum concentration
(Cmax) and time to reach maximum concentration (T max) were 119.6 ± 36.4 ng/ml and
80.0 ± 79.9 hr respectively. The elimination half life, clearance, area under curve
(AUCooGl) and volume of distribution were 194.0 ± 47.8 hr, 77.3 ± 5.5 ml/minlkg, 29450
± 13082 ng.hr/ml and 4.7 ± 0.8 Llkg, respectively. The method was found to be suitable
for use in clinical phannacological studies.
