Abstract: | The advantages and potencies of direct methods for the quantification of homocysteine based on mass spectrometry detection
(HPLC-MS and CE-MS) are considered; these significantly simplify sample preparation and exclude derivatization with expensive
derivatizing reagents. An approach is developed for the direct determination of total homocysteine in blood plasma in an analytical
system that combines capillary electrophoresis with electrospray ionization. The internal standard is glycyl-asparagine; the
duration of separation is 25 min. The sample is preconcentrated tenfold prior to the determination. The sample pretreatment
also includes the precipitation of proteins with methanol and the reduction of amino thiols with dithiothreitol or mercaptoethanol.
The recovery values make 87–112%. |
