Introduction. Standard analytical approaches to the quantitative determination of polymeric substances, including natural polysaccharides, in biological matrices are not suitable. If it is necessary to quantify the test substance in their native state in biological fluids, an approach is frequently applied with the fluorescent or radioactive label being incorporated into the active ingredient. Objective. To synthesize the tritium-labeled polymer component of Kagocel substance for pharmacokinetic studies, namely for the estimation of the parameters of absorption, distribution, and excretion. Material and methods. The investigation object is the pharmaceutical substance Kagocel. The tritium label was incorporated into the polymer component of the substance by tritium thermal activation method. The identity of the tritium-labeled substance of the starting material was confirmed by size-exclusion chromatography with refractometric detection and by high-performance liquid chromatography with spectrophotometric detection. Results. The tritium thermal activation method allows the label to be incorporated into the polymer component of the Kagocel substance with a specific activity of at least 300 mCi/g. Upon applying the elution profiles obtained with size-exclusion and reversed-phase chromatography of the substance Kagocel and the curves obtained by scintillation detectors, it is seen that the basic time of radioactivity release corresponds to that of the polymer component of the substance Kagocel. The tritium-labelled substance Kagocel is stable; the tritium exchange in the acidic medium is no more than 2%. Conclusion. The developed method for incorporating hydrogen isotopes provides a stable labeled preparation of the substance Kagocel with a high specific activity, which is suitable for further biological studies.
