In a compatibility study of parenteral drugs commonly used in paediatric cardiological intensive care units, an unknown reaction product was found in a mixture of etacrynic acid and theophylline. The conditions in terms of the concentration of etacrynic acid and theophylline as well as the materials used corresponded to the conditions in the intensive care unit. Initially, the reaction product appeared as a significant and increasing peak in the chromatograms when determining the content of etacrynic acid and theophylline via HPLC. At the same time, the concentrations of both drugs decreased. A literature search in the chemical databases Reaxys® and Scifinder ® revealed a patent from 1967 describing an aza-Michael addition between etacrynic acid and theophylline to either N-7 or N-9. Using LC-MS/MS experiments, we were able to confirm that Michael-like reaction between etacrynic acid and theophylline occurs. To elucidate the exact structure of the reaction product we performed NMR experiments (COSY, HSQC and HMBC). With the acquired data we were finally able to identify the unknown compound as the N-7 substituted adduct [2-(2,3-dichloro-4-{2-[(1,3-dimethyl-2,6-dioxo-2,3-dihydro-1 H -purin-7(6 H )-yl)methyl]butanoyl}phenoxy)acetic acid]. Our findings show that etacrynic acid and theophylline should not be mixed and should be administered through separate venous lines when infused. |
