Abstract:A high-performance liquid chromatographic method involving fluorescence derivatization followed by separation on a reversed-phase polymer (octadecylated polyvinylalcohol copolymer gel) column is described for the determination of opioid peptides in rat brain tissues. The peptides extracted from brain tissues were converted into fluorescent derivatives by reaction with hydroxylamine, cobalt(II) ion and borate. The derivatives were separated on an Asahipak ODP-50 column by gradient elution of acetonitrile in the mobile phase containing borate buffer (pH 9.5). The detection limits (S/N = 3) for the peptides were 0.33-1.21 pmol per 100 microliters injected. The method actually permit the determination of leucine enkephalin, methionine enkephalin, methionine enkephalin-Arg-Phe and methionine enkephalin-Arg-Gly-Leu in the tissues. The method is also applied to the characterization of the peptides in the tissues by means of enzymatic degradations with carboxypeptidase A and trypsin.
