Uric acid is a potent antioxidant and scavenger of singlet oxygen and other radicals in humans. Allantoin, the predominant product of free radical-induced oxidation of uric acid, is efficiently excreted in the urine and has potential as a biomarker of oxidative stress. We developed a rapid and specific assay for urinary allantoin using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry suitable for high-throughput clinical studies. The method required minimal sample preparation and was accurate (mean error=6%), precise (intra- and interday imprecision <8%), and sensitive (limit of detection=0.06pmol). Allantoin levels measured in control samples were comparable to literature values.
尿酸是一种有效的抗氧化剂和单线态氧及其他自由基的清除剂。别嘌醇,尿酸自由基诱导氧化的主要产物,在尿液中被有效排泄,具有作为氧化应激生物标志物的潜力。我们开发了一种使用超高效液相色谱-串联质谱的快速和特异的尿液别嘌醇检测方法,适合高通量的临床研究。该方法需要的样本制备量最少,并且准确(平均误差=6%)、精密(日内和日间精密度<8%)、灵敏(检测限=0.06pmol)。在对照样本中测量的别嘌醇水平与文献值相当。
