A high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED) method is described for determination of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol (MHPG) in microdialysate from the skeletal muscle interstitial space. Using a microdialysis technique, we sampled 30 microl dialysate from the skeletal muscle interstitial space and injected dialysate directly into HPLC-ED system. The control MHPG concentration of dialysate was 213+/-18 pg/ml. The MHPG concentrations were reduced by entacapone (catechol-O-methyltransferase inhibitor, COMT), augmented by local infusion of dihydroxyphenylglycol. This system offers a new possibility for simple, rapid monitoring of MHPG as an index of COMT activity in skeletal muscle.
描述了一种采用电化学检测的高效液相色谱法(HPLC-ED),用于测定骨骼肌间质空间微透析液中的3-甲氧基-4-羟基苯乙二醇(MHPG)。使用微透析技术,我们从骨骼肌间质空间采集了30微升透析液,并将透析液直接注入HPLC-ED系统。透析液中MHPG的对照浓度为213±18皮克/毫升。恩他卡朋(儿茶酚-O-甲基转移酶抑制剂,COMT)可降低MHPG浓度,而局部输注二羟基苯乙二醇可提高其浓度。该系统为简单、快速监测MHPG作为骨骼肌中COMT活性指标提供了新的可能性。
