Abstract: | Hyaluronic acid (HA) was digested with various kinds of depolymerizing enzymes and the products were analysed by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) after derivatization with 1-(4-methoxy)phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMPMP). As hyaluronate 4-glycanohydrolase (EC 3.2.1.35) from sheep testis showed a high efficiency for depolymerization, giving the tetra- and hexasaccharides abundantly, and is inexpensive, a method for the specific determination of HA was established, based on digestion by this enzyme followed by determination of the tetra- or hexasaccharide derived therefrom as the PMPMP derivatives by HPLC with UV detection. This method allowed the determination of HA in the range 0.5–50 μg with high reproducibility. |
