Determination of L-FMAUS, a new L-FMAU derivative, in rat plasma and urine by high-performance liquid chromatography

A high-performance liquid chromatographic method using the liquid extraction procedure was developed for the determination of L -FMAUS. a new L -FMAU derivative, in rat plasma and urine using 3-aminophenyl sulfone as an internal standard. A 100-${\mu}\ell$ aliquot of distilled water containing the L -cysteine (100 mg/$m\ell$) was added to a 100-${\mu}\ell$ aliquot of biological sample. L-Cysteine was employed to protect binding between 5'-thiol of l and protein in the biological sample. (omitted)
