Abstract

A method using ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography is presented for determining ranitidine, ranitidine N-oxide, ranitidine S-oxide and desmethyl ranitidine in the urine from four volunteers, given on separte occasions an intravenous and oral dose of 100 mg ranitidine. This method has been used to study the metabolism and pharmacokinetics of ranitidine by man. It was found that the elimination half-life of ranitidine ranged from 110–246 min. The mean renal clearance of ranitidine in these four volunteers was 512 ml/min.

    Variation of SAz-1′s RT adsoption capacity with change of pH in the aqueous system is an important consideration for applying the clay mineral for remoing RT from contaminated water (Fig. S2). The pHpzc of SAz-1 was 8.44 (Table S1) and the pKa values of RT were 2.7 and 8.2, respectively [24,25]. At solution pH < pKa of 2.7, RT would exist as RT2+ cations (Fig. S1).

    The research results are the key starting point for entering the field test. Ranitidine hydrochloride (two pKa = 8.2 and 2.7; molar mass=350.86 g/mol) [25] (Figs. S1 and S2) was provided by Swiss Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd, Taiwan. The water solubility of RT was 660 mg/mL and the solubility in the pH range 1–7.4 was experimentally found to be over 550 mg/mL acting as a highly soluble [26].

    RAN was found in the effluents of STPs in Greece at a median level of 1059 ng L− 1 (Dasenaki and Thomaidis, 2015b) and in river waters of Spain at a median concentration of 396.5 ng L− 1 (Valcárcel et al., 2011). It is excreted partly as an untransformed (30–70%) compound in urine and partly as its main metabolites, RAN N-oxide, N-desmethyl RAN and RAN S-oxide (Carey et al., 1981; Martin et al., 1981), in urine and feces. The removal of RAN in ultrapure water and wastewater samples has already been studied through the application of electrochemical processes (Carlesi Jara et al., 2007), ozonation competitive kinetics (Rivas et al., 2009), photochemical oxidation (Latch et al., 2003), photolysis (Jamrógiewicz and Wielgomas, 2013) and solar photocatalysis (Radjenović et al., 2010).

    Given the essential need of this drug for basic human health [1], it is among the most prescribed pharmaceuticals in the world [2,3]. It reaches water systems mainly through excretion e.g. 30–70% remained intact [4,5]. Eventually, RAN has been encountered in the aquatic environment at a maximal detected concentration of 1 μg/L [6].
