Abstract

Of the antiviral agents that are currently in clinical use in the US for therapy for human immunodeficiency virus infections, zalcitabine (ddC) is the most potent and is effective at the lowest plasma concentrations. The two reported procedures for measuring these low concentrations involve a chromatographic technique coupled with mass spectrometry. We have developed a procedure combining solid-phase extraction with a strong cation-exchange resin and commercially available RIA reagents for the quantification of ddC in plasma or serum. The method demonstrates good linearity, specificity, and precision, with overall CVs of
