Abstract:

A combination of high-resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-NMR spectroscopic methods has been used to analyse urine from humans and rats treated with the anticancer drug ifosfamide. It was possible to detect a range of abnormal endogenous metabolites in urine after ifosfamide administration to human subjects undergoing cancer therapy and to relate the metabolic perturbations to the nephrotoxic effects of the drug. Changes observed by 1H NMR included increases in levels of urinary glucose, glycine, alanine, histidine, lactate, acetate, succinate, and trimethylamine-N-oxide and decreases in the levels of hippurate and citrate. Additional evidence was gained that ifosfamide-induced nephrotoxicity might be related to the level of oxidation of the coadministered drug mesna. By using both directly coupled continuous-flow 31P HPLC-NMR spectroscopy to determine the retention times of the phosphorus-containing metabolites and, subsequently, stop-flow 1H HPLC-NMR of the urine, it was possible to isolate and identify on-line the metabolites ifosfamide mustard, 4-hydroxy-ifosfamide, 2-dechloroethylifosfamide, and the parent compound itself. These studies illustrate the potential of combining 1H NMR spectroscopy of biofluids and HPLC-NMR spectroscopy for the investigation of drug metabolism and toxicity in humans and animals.
