LC-UV/MS methods for the analysis of prochelator-boronyl salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (BSIH) and its active chelator salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH).

ABSTRACT: Salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone (SIH) is an intracellular iron chelator with well documented potential to protect against oxidative injury both in vitro and in vivo. However, it suffers from short biological half-life caused by fast hydrolysis of the hydrazone bond. Recently, a concept of boronate prochelators has been introduced as a strategy that might overcome these limitations. This study presents two complementary analytical methods for detecting the prochelator-boronyl salicylaldehyde isonicotinoyl hydrazone-BSIH along with its active metal-binding chelator SIH in different solution matrices and concentration ranges. An LC-UV method for determination of BSIH and SIH in buffer and cell culture medium was validated over concentrations of 7-115 and 4-115 μM, respectively, and ap
