Fluorescence determination of N-acetylaspartic acid in the rat cerebrum homogenate using high-performance liquid chromatography with pre-column fluorescence derivatization

N-acetyl-L-aspartic acid (NAA) is an endogenous compound, and its brain concentration is suggested to be altered in neurological disorders. In the present study, a fluorescence determination method for NAA was developed by employing reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with pre-column fluorescence derivatization using 4-N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl-7-N-(2-aminoethyl)amino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-ED). Using methylsuccinic acid as the internal standard, a linear calibration curve for NAA was constructed in the range 125-1000 microM (n=3). The detection limit on the column was approximately 5.0 fmol (signal-to-noise ratio 3). The proposed HPLC method was applied to determine NAA in the rat cerebrum homogenate. Cerebrum NAA was successfully determined using 10 microL of the homogenate, and the validation data for the proposed HPLC method demonstrated satisfactory results. Intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy were within 1.1-7.0 and -8.1-6.3%, respectively. The concentration of NAA in the male rat cerebrum (13 weeks old) was 84+/-4.6 micromol/mg protein (n=3).     

Development and validation of HPLC method for the determination of α-tocopherol in human erythrocytes for clinical applications

In this work, a simple isocratic reversed-phase HPLC method for determination of alpha-tocopherol in human erythrocytes has been developed and validated. After separation of plasma the erythrocytes were washed three times with 0.9% sodium chloride containing 0.01% butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) as antioxidant and then were diluted 1:1 (v/v) with the same solution. In the liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) procedure, 2500 microL of n-hexane was added to 500 microL of erythrocytes. After 2 min this mixture was deproteinized by addition of cool ethanol (500 microL, 5 min) denatured with 5% methanol containing alpha-tocopherol acetate (20 micromol L(-1)), as internal standard, and then extracted for 5 min by vortex mixing. After centrifugation (10 min, 1600xg) an aliquot (2000 microL) of the clean extract was separated and evaporated under nitrogen. The residue was dissolved in 400 microL methanol and analysed by reversed-phase HPLC on a 4.6 mmx150 mm, 5 microm Pecosphere C18 column; the mobile phase was 100% methanol, flow rate 1.2 mL min(-1). The volume injected was 100 microL and detection was by diode-array detector at a wavelength of 295 nm. The extraction recovery of alpha-tocopherol from human erythrocytes was 100.0+/-2.0%. The detection limit was 0.1 micromol L(-1) and a linear calibration plot was obtained in the concentration range 0.5-20.0 micromol L(-1). Within determination precision was 5.2% RSD (n=10), between determination precision was 6.1% RSD (n=10). The method was applied successfully in a clinical study of patients with acute pancreatitis and for determination of the reference values in the healthy Czech population.     

Simultaneous determination of allantoin, hypoxanthine, xanthine, and uric acid in serum/plasma by CE

Allantoin (All) is an oxidative end product of purines in mammals. The small amount of All present in human plasma or serum results from free radical action on urate and may provide a stable marker of in vivo free radical activity. Because free radicals have been implicated in the development and progression of atherosclerosis, this study focused on the metabolic compounds of the All pathway. We propose a new fast CE (CE/UV) method for the simultaneous determination of All, uric acid (UA), hypoxanthine (HX), and xanthine (X) in human plasma. These products were quantified in the plasma of patients with chronic renal failure before hemodialysis (n = 6), patients with chronic heart failure (n = 6) and controls (n = 6). The filtered plasma were diluted ten-fold before the direct injection in CE/UV (195 nm), which allows separating the four compounds in less than 13 min. The metabolites were detectable at concentrations of 0.3-0.6 micromol/L. The method was linear over the range 0.5-150 micromol/L for All, HX, and X and 10-1500 micromol/L for UA (r > 0.99). The analytical performance of this method is satisfactory with intra-assay CV < 3.4%, inter-assay CV < 5% (HX and X < 7%), and recovery (93-101%). The proposed CE-UV method appears to be a useful tool for studying physiological and pathological changes of HX, UA, and All levels in plasma samples, the latter being a possible indicator of free radical damage in vivo.     

Assay of tyrosine hydroxylase based on high-performance liquid chromatography separation and quantification of L-dopa and L-tyrosine

An assay of L-tyrosine (Tyr) hydroxylating activity operating in lincomycin biosynthesis is described. The assay development consisted of HPLC procedure development, assessing the effect of reaction mixture components on non-enzymatic Dopa and Tyr oxidation, and sample stability evaluation. The HPLC procedure with isocratic elution and fluorescence detection was developed and validated. The method showed a wide linear range of Dopa determination of 0.125-25 micromol/L with lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 0.125 micromol/L, RSD of 7.2% and accuracy of 101.7%. The studied linear range of Tyr was 15.625 mmol/L to 500 mmol/L with LLOQ of 15.625 mmol/L, RSD of 1.1%, and accuracy of 98.1%. Recoveries for Dopa and Tyr were 100.66 +/- 0.89% and 94.76 +/- 0.94%, respectively. The inter- and intra-day accuracies and precisions were all within 10%. Samples of the reaction mixture were stable for at least 24 h at room temperature (RT) and 28 days at -20 degrees C. The method was tested for the enzyme activity monitoring in purified as well as crude preparations and enabled micro preparation of the enzyme product during confirmation of its identity. The influence of pH and ascorbic acid content in reaction mixture was studied with respect to non-enzymatic Tyr oxidation.     

Rapid column-switching liquid chromatography/mass spectrometric assay for DHEA-sulfate in the plasma of patients with Alzheimer's disease

A simple and highly sensitive method for the quantification of dehydroepiandrosterone-3-sulfate (DHEAS) in human plasma was developed. DHEAS was directly determined in plasma using column-switching liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The plasma was filtered with a membrane filter. The filtrate was injected onto a pre-column without further sample preparation such as extraction or derivatization. The pre-column was washed with an aqueous solution to remove interference and the analyte was eluted into a reversed-phase C(18) analytical column for separation and detection using a column-switching valve. The calibration range of DHEAS was 0.01-10 micromol/L, and the linearity of the method was 0.999. The limit of detection (LOD) at a signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio of 3 was 5 nmol/L. The accuracy and precision (%CV) were less than 10% in within-day and day-to-day variations. To explore the relationship between Alzheimer's disease and the DHEAS level in human plasma, the concentrations of DHEAS in female patients with Alzheimer's disease (n = 20) and in normal female subjects (n = 20) were measured. The level of DHEAS was significantly decreased in the plasma of patients with Alzheimer's disease (p < 0.0002) compared with that in normal subjects. From the results, we concluded that our method is sufficiently sensitivity and reliability for the quantification of DHEAS in clinical samples. Plasma DHEAS concentration could be an important marker to understand the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

High-performance liquid chromatographic method with ultraviolet detection for the determination of dapsone and its hydroxylated metabolite in human plasma

A validated high-performance liquid chromatographic method with ultraviolet detection for the quantitative determination of dapsone (4,4'-diaminodifenyl sulfone, DDS) and a metabolite, hydroxylaminodapsone (4-amino-4-hydroxylaminodiphenyl sulfone, DDS-NOH), in human plasma is described. Human plasma was deproteinized with acetone and the clear supernatant solution after centrifugation was evaporated to dryness under a gentle stream of nitrogen at 70 degrees C. The residue was dissolved in a mixture of HPLC eluent and acetone (18:5 v/v) and an aliquot of this solution (50 microL) was injected onto the HPLC column. Dapsone, hydroxylaminodapsone and diazoxide as internal standard, were separated within 10 min by isocratic elution with water:acetonitrile:glacial acetic acid:triethylamine (80:20:1.0:0.5 by volume) as eluent. Detection was by ultraviolet at the wavelength of 295 nm. The within-day repeatability coefficients of variation were 3-5% for dapsone (0.301-20.0 mg/L, n = 5) and 3-5% for hydroxylaminodapsone (0.0948-6.32 mg/L, n = 5), whereas the between-day repeatability coefficients of variation were 3-8% (0.301-20.0 mg/L, n = 5) for dapsone and 4-10% for hydroxylaminodapsone (0.0948-6.32 mg/L, n = 5). The mean recoveries -were 92-107% (0.301-20.0 mg/L, n = 2), 80-82% (0.0948-6.32 mg/L, n = 2) and 88% (0.0200 mg/mL, n = 5), for dapsone, hydroxylaminodapsone and diazoxide, respectively. The average correlation coefficient of the calibration curve was 0.99988 (n = 5) for dapsone at a concentration range of 0.301-20.0 mg/L, whereas the average correlation coefficient of the hydroxylaminodapsone calibration curve was 0.99981 (n = 5) at a concentration range of 0.0948-6.32 mg/L. The limits of detection were 0.00200 and 0.0470 mg/L for dapsone and hydroxylaminodapsone, respectively. The method is suitable for drug level monitoring and for pharmacokinetic studies.

Quantitative Estimation of Dehydroascorbic Acid and Ascorbic Acid by High-Performance Liquid Chromatography—Application to Human Milk,Plasma, and Leukocytes

Abstract

A ‘high-performance’ liquid chromatographic (HPLC) method for quantitation of dehydroascorbic acid and ascorbic acid and its application to protein-free human milk, blood plasma and leukocytes (buffy layer) is described. In the method, DL-homocysteine was used to convert dehydroascorbic acid quantitatively to ascorbic acid that was measured by reversed phase liquid chromatography. Fresh human milk was found to contain ascorbic acid 54.3±6.5 mg/1 (mean±SEM; n=4) and dehydroascorbic acid 21. 0±9.1 mg/1 (mean±SEM, n=4) when stored at +4°C. The concentration of both forms of ascorbic acid was found to detoriate in similar ratios during storage at +4°C, and pasteurization considerably increased the loss of vitamin C. After pasteurization the milk contained ascorbic acid 8.6±3.4 mg/1 (mean±SEM, n=4) and dehydroascorbic acid 6.6±2.4 mg/1 (mean±SEM, n=4). In plasma the dehydroascorbic acid content (0.16±0.03 mg/1, mean±SEM, n=23) was lower than that of ascorbic acid (9.96±0.75 mg/1, mean±SEM, n=23).

The ascorbic acid concentration in the leukocyte mixtures was 0.21±0.04 mg/10⁹ cells (mean±SEM, n=10) and dehydroascorbic acid concentration 0.09±0.03 mg/10⁹ cells (mean±SEM, n=8). A statistically significant (r=0.599, p<0.05) correlation was established between the concentrations of ascorbic acid in plasma and leukocytes.

Determination of 3',4',5',5,7-pentamethoxyflavone in the plasma and intestinal mucosa of mice by HPLC with UV detection

In a preliminary experiment 3',4',5',5,7-pentamethoxyflavone (PMF) inhibited adenoma development in Apc(Min) mice, a model of the human heritable condition familial adenomatous polyposis. An HPLC method for tricin was modified and validated to permit measurement of PMF in mouse plasma and intestinal mucosa. HPLC analysis was carried out on a Hypersil-BDS C(18) column with detection at 324 nm and tricin as internal standard. The assay was linear in the range of 100-2000 ng/mL plasma and 1.0-40 microg/mL mucosa. PMF in plasma was efficiently extracted using solid-phase columns. In the case of mucosa organic solvent protein precipitation displayed satisfactory accuracy and precision. The assay recovery at low, medium and high concentrations was between 85 and 103% for both biomatrices, with a relative standard deviation of <15%. The lower limits of quantitation for plasma and mucosa were 100 ng/mL and 1.0 microg/mL, respectively. This method allowed measurement of PMF steady-state median concentrations in plasma (1.08 nmol/mL, n = 11; 10th and 90th percentiles: 0.633 and 2.385 nmol/mL) and mucosa (108.5 nmol/g, n = 9; 10th and 90th percentiles: 38.9 and 164.4 nmol/g) in mice which had received PMF (0.2%, w/w) with their diet.

Specific Differential Spectrophotdmetric Determination of Ascorbic Acid in Plants Using Ascorbate Oxidase

Abstract

A specific enzymic-differential spectrophatometric method is described and evaluated for the determination of ascorbic acid in vegetables and medicinal plants. It is based on the absorbance measurement at 593 nm of the complex of ferrous ion with 2,4,6-tris (pyridyl)-S-triazine, which is produced by reduction of ferric ion by ascorbic acid, versus a blank sample treated with ascorbate oxidase. The absorbance difference is linearly related to ascorbic acid from 10 to 100 ug/ml. A standard deviation of ±0.5 ug/ml (n=5) and a mean recovery of 101.47. (98.3–103.3%.) from spiked plant extracts, were found. The method was used to determine ascorbic acid in various plants of the Greek flora. Acacia cvanophvlla was found to be the richest source tested for ascorbic acid (89.6 mq/100 q of leaves). The method is very simple and can be used in routine analysis.     

Switch-on fluorescence sensor for ascorbic acid detection based on MoS2 quantum dots-MnO2 nanosheets system and its application in fruit samples

In this work,molybdenum disulfide quantum dots(MoS_2 QDs) were firstly prepared by hydrothermal method using sodium molybdate and glutathione as precursors,and applied in ascorbic acid detection.When joining MnO_2 nanosheets into MoS_2 QDs solution,they produced an obvious fluorescence quenching,which should be due to inner filter effect(IFE).Meanwhile,the fluorescent probe was formed,Interestingly,we found that this quenching phenomenon disappeared with the addition of ascorbic acid,In other words,the fluorescence gradually restored.This recovery phenomenon is mainly due to the reduction effect of ascorbic acid for MnO_2 nanosheets.Under the optimum conditions,the limit of detection(LOD) of 39 nmol/L for ascorbic acid was achieved with a linear range of 0.33-5.00 μmol/L.The repeatability was better than 5.0% for ascorbic acid in both standard and fruit samples(n = 3).Moreover,the as-fabricated fluorescent sensing system was successfully employed to detect the ascorbic acid levels in hawthorn and jujube with satisfactory results.

High-throughput capillary electrophoretic method for determination of total aminothiols in plasma and urine.

Increased interest in the analysis of aminothiols in body fluids during the last years results in a request for high-throughput analytical methods for their determination. We report here a novel, high-throughput method for the determination of total concentrations of biogenous aminothiols - homocysteine, cysteine, glutathione, cysteinylglycine, gamma-glutamylcysteine, and of penicilamine, mercaptopropionylglycine, and cysteamine, three compounds used to treat disorders of aminothiol metabolism in plasma and urine. Samples were reduced with tris(carboxyethyl)phosphine and labeled with 5-(bromomethyl)fluorescein. Capillary electrophoretic separations were performed in 60 mmol/L borate - 15 mmol/L sodium dodecyl sulfate - 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol, pH 10.0, with laser-induced fluorescence detection. Analysis time was less than 2 min. The assay is linear (r > 0.999) up to 500 micromol/L. Reproducibilities of migration times (coefficient of variation, CV) were < 0.5%. Interassay repeatabilities (CV, n = 10) were 5.08% and 6.09% for 5 micromol/L addition of homocysteine and 0.60% and 3.78% for 100 micromol/L addition of cysteine in plasma and urine, respectively. Recovery values were within 94-106% and sensitivity was better than 0.19 micromol/L for all analyzed compounds. Results agreed well with a standard high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method. The diagnostic usefulness of the method has been proven on 79 samples of cystinuric patients and 12 samples of homocystinuric patients. We report here a novel method for the determination of aminothiols in body fluids by capillary electrophoresis (CE). Determination is fast and sensitive enough for diagnostic purposes.     

Improved method to determine succinylacetone in dried blood spots for diagnosis of tyrosinemia type 1 using UPLC-MS/MS

We describe an improved diagnostic method for tyrosinemia type 1 based on quantifying succinylacetone in dried blood spots by ultra-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. Succinylacetone extracted from a single 3/16 inch disk of specimen collection paper containing a dried blood spot was derivatized with dansylhydrazine, separated on an Acquity UPLC BEH C(18) column (2.1 x 50 mm, 1.7 microm) and detected by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry. Succinylacetone derivative eluted at 0.6 min with a complete run time of 1 min. Using a 13C4 labeled succinylacetone as an internal standard, the calibration plot was linear up to 100 micromol/L with a detection limit (S/N = 3) of 0.2 micromol/L. Intra-day (n = 13) and inter-day (n = 10) variations were better than 10%. The cutoff level of succinylacetone in dried blood spots from healthy infants obtained by the current method was 0.63 micromol/L (n = 151). In dried blood spots from patients with established tyrosinemia type 1 (n = 11), concentration of succinylacetone was 6.4-30.8 micromol/L.     

Creatinine determination in serum by capillary electrophoresis

Creatinine in human serum was separated in a fused-silica capillary with H3PO4 (75 mmol/L, pH 2.5) as BGE, followed by UV detection at 200 nm. Serum with methylimidazole added as internal standard was deproteinized with acetonitrile and the supernatant, after dilution with water was injected at pressure mode. Creatinine and methylimidazole were baseline-resolved in 6.5 min. Linearity in the 0-880 micromol/L range gave an r2 > or = 0.998, recovery was 102 +/- 2.8% (n = 6). Enzymatic breakdown with creatininase confirmed that serum does not interfere. The within-day and between-days coefficient of variation (CV) were < or = 2.16 and 2.7%, respectively. The accuracy, determined for lyophilized samples by isotope dilution gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was < or = +/- 2.0%. The results were compared with HPLC for 32 lyophilized samples and on 27 serum pools. Capillary electrophoresis, rapid and inexpensive, seems a promising alternative to high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) for creatinine determination in human serum.
