Abstract:

In a previous study we observed, during separation of total antipyrine metabolites by high-performance liquid chromatography and after enzymatic hydrolysis, an unidentified peak corresponding to an ionic compound with pyrazolinone features. In the present study, this compound was identified as the 4-hydroxyantipyrine sulphoconjugate, and its structure was definitively confirmed by gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric analysis and by the use of pure synthetic substance. We also demonstrated the inhibitory effect of sodium metabisulphite, a necessary preservative of urinary samples, on hydrolysis of this conjugate in the presence of sulphatases from Helix pomatia or Aerobacter aerogenes. This inhibitory effect makes it impossible to perform a global assay of antipyrine metabolites after enzymatic or chemical hydrolysis and confirms the value of direct assay of the 4-hydroxyantipyrine sulphoconjugate.
