N2 - A new buffer system is reported for the analysis of radiographic contrast agents (RCAs) sodium meglumine diatrizoate, iohexol, and iopamidol in mice plasma and testes, on a reversedphase HPLC with UV detection. The buffer consisting of 0.1 M NaH2PO4, 0.2 mM Na2EDTA adjusted to pH 3.1 with orthophosphorlc add and 2.5-5.0 % acetonitrile (v/v) resolved RCA peaks for dear quantitation. The main advantages of this system are the ambient temperature of operation and direct sample injection without prior sample purification as required in the earlier procedures. Using this procedure, uptake and clearance kinetics of these RCAs were studied in mice plasma and testes, following iv injections via tall veins. The plasma levels of all the RCAs reached maxima between 5 and 15 min and dropped down sharply. At the end of 12 h they were virtually undeteded (detection limits 0.54-0.71 Ug/mL). The testicular levels also showed a similar trend and reached undetedable levels after 4 h. There were no signs of metabolism of these RCAs in plasma or testes. The present clearance kinetics in plasma compares very well with earlier reports of non-HPLC methods of assay.
