5 mL of chloroform/methanol 9:1 (v/v). The organic phases from
the two extractions were combined and evaporated to dryness,
the residue was dissolved in 0.2 mL of equal parts of methanol
and distilled water, and an aliquot (20 μL) was analyzed by
HPLC.

Assay of Urinary Metabolites.30 AT or an analogue was given
orally to rats at a single dose of 100 mg/kg, and urine was
collected for 24 h. Then, a mixture of 1 mL of urine, 4 mg of
Na2S2O5, and 40 μL of β-glucuronidase/sulphatase in a final
volume of 4 mL of 0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 4.5) was incubated
at 37 °C for 24 h. Then 50 nmol of phenacetin was added as an
internal standard. The incubation mixture was extracted with
4 mL of chloroform/methanol 9:1 (v/v). The extract was evapo-
rated to dryness, the residue was dissolved in 0.2 mL of equal
parts of methanol and distilled water, and an aliquot (20 μL) was
analyzed by HPLC.
Statistical Analysis. All data were expressed as the mean (
SEM. The statistical significance of differences was evaluated by
means of two-way repeated-measures analysis of variance
(ANOVA) followed by contrasts for mean values comparison.
A p value <0.05 was considered significant.
