Xanthine and uric acid, products of purine meta-bolism, were measured by reversed-phase high-per-formance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with elec-trochemical detection in rat forebrain following focal cerebral ischemia. Focal cerebral ischemia was induced in the rat by permanent occlusion of the left middle cerebral artery (MCA). Sprague-Dawley rats were anesthetized with halothane in-halation and left MCA was occluded via trans-retro-orbital approach. Normal and sham-operatedrats were used as control animals. The animals were decapitated 2(MCA=5, Sham=5), 4(MCA= 7, Sham=6), 8(MCA=5, Sham=5), and 16 (MCA =6, Sham=6) hours or 1 (MCA=5, Sham=5), 2(MCA=6, Sham=6), 7 (MCA=7, Sham=6), 14(MCA=6, Sham=5), and 28 (MCA=7, Sham=5) days after the operation. The brains were re-moved and devided into right and left hemisphere. Each hemisphere was homogenized and centri-fuged. The supernates were filtrated with mem-brane filter. An aliquot of the filtrate was used for measurement of xanthine and uric acid in both of the ischemic and contralateral hemisphere by a HPLC system.

In the normal group, xanthine and uric acid in the brain was 12.4±0.4 and 2.2±0.1 nmol/g tissue (mean±SEM), respectively. In the ischemic hemi-sphere, xanthine incresed up to 57.7±5.2 nmol/gtissue 2 hours after MCA occlusion and reached a maximum value of 59.42±4.91 nmol/g tissue 4 hours following the induction of ischemia. Xan-thine level was still high 8 hours after ischemia and then rapidly decresed to the normal value at day 2. Uric acid increased up to 38. 53±7.42 nmol/g tissue 1 day after ischemia and reached a maximum value of 38.98±3.50 nmol/g tissue 2 days after occlusion. The level of uric acid in the ischemic hemisphere gradually decreased, although the value was still significantly high at day 28. The changes of xanthine and uric acid in the op-posite side and in sham-operated forebrain was unremarkable. The present experiment suggests that, in ischemic forebrain, uric acid is produced through xanthine as a product of purine meta-bolism.
