A rapid method for determination of acetylation phenotype using dapsone.

P A Philip, M S Roberts, H J Rogers

    British Journal of Clinical Pharmacology
    |April 1, 1984
    PubMed
    Summary

    A new rapid method accurately measures plasma dapsone (DDS) and monoacetyldapsone (MADDS) levels. This high-pressure liquid chromatography (h.p.l.c.) technique is ideal for determining acetylator phenotype in large populations.

    Area of Science:

    • Pharmacokinetics
    • Analytical Chemistry
    • Clinical Diagnostics

    Background:

    • Dapsone (DDS) and its metabolite monoacetyldapsone (MADDS) are crucial in leprosy treatment.
    • Accurate determination of acetylator phenotype is important for personalized medicine and understanding drug metabolism.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe a rapid, one-stage protein precipitation method for plasma DDS and MADDS quantification.
    • To evaluate this method's performance for acetylator phenotype assignment compared to a reference technique.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a simplified high-pressure liquid chromatography (h.p.l.c.) assay using protein precipitation.
    • Comparison of the rapid h.p.l.c. method with a standard extraction-based h.p.l.c. method with an internal standard.
    • Calculation of the plasma MADDS/DDS ratio for acetylator phenotype determination.

    Main Results:

    • The rapid protein precipitation h.p.l.c. method provides accurate and efficient estimation of plasma DDS and MADDS concentrations.
    • The performance of the rapid method for acetylator phenotype assignment is comparable to the established reference method.
    • The MADDS/DDS plasma ratio effectively distinguishes acetylator phenotypes.

    Conclusions:

    • The described rapid h.p.l.c. method offers a practical and reliable approach for DDS and MADDS measurement.
    • This technique is particularly suitable for population studies requiring efficient acetylator phenotype determination.
    • The simplified assay streamlines pharmacokinetic analysis and clinical phenotyping.
