Endocannabinoid 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) regulates several important physiological processes in the brain. 2-AG is commonly quantified by gas chromatography mass spectrometry after an initial purification step. The most precise and rapid purification utilizes C(18) solid-phase extraction, but quantification problems can arise with acyl migration from 2-AG to 1-arachidonoylglycerol. We found that extraction with methanol promoted this migration, but acetone and diethyl ether (Et(2)O) did not. Acetone and Et(2)O were used to develop a purification method for the direct determination of 2-AG.
内源性大麻素2-花生四烯酸甘油酯(2-AG)调节大脑中的几个重要生理过程。2-AG通常在初始纯化步骤后通过气相色谱质谱法进行定量。最精确和快速的纯化方法是使用C(18)固相萃取,但由于酰基从2-AG迁移到1-花生四烯酸甘油酯,可能会出现定量问题。我们发现用甲醇萃取会促进这种迁移,但丙酮和二乙醚(Et(2)O)不会。使用丙酮和Et(2)O开发了一种直接测定2-AG的纯化方法。
