Linear calibration curves were constructed in the concentration range of 2.50 100.00 mmol/L for both compounds. The separations were achieved on a Supelcosyl LC-18-DB analytical column (250กม4.6 mm; 5 mm particle size) by isocratic elution, with a mixture of 0.1 M disodium hydrogen phosphate methanol. UV detection was performed at a wavelength of 254 nm. The proposed methods enable the detection and quantification of nanomolar concentrations of AT and BT in rat plasma. %K HPLC %K acetyl-tiazofurin %K benzoyl-tiazofurin %K rat plasma %U http://www.shd.org.yu/HtDocs/SHD/Vol69/No1/V69-No1-09.pdf
