A liquid chromatographic (LC) method with improved selectivity for the simultaneous determination of 5-hydroxyindoles (5-HIs; 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-hydroxytryptamine, N-acetyl-5-hydroxytryptamine, 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid, and 5-hydroxytryptophol) is described. This method involves precolumn derivatization with 4-(3',3',4',4',5',5',6',6',7',7',8',8',9',9',10',10',10'-heptadecafluorodecyl)benzylamine (HFBA) and separation of the derivatives using a fluorous LC column. In this study, stable benzoxazole derivatives of 5-HIs with HFBA have been obtained by a simple derivatization procedure; their fluorescent properties enabled highly sensitive detection. In addition, only the HFBA derivatives of 5-HIs has been selectively retained on the fluorous LC column via fluorous interaction whereby perfluoroalkyl compounds show affinities with each other, while the non-fluorous compounds did not. The HFBA derivatives were separated within 30 min and the detection limits for 5-HIs in a 20-μL injection volume were 1.2-14 fmol (S/N=3). Furthermore, this method was applied to the analysis of 5-HIs in the human plasma from healthy subjects.
本文描述了一种具有更高选择性的液相色谱(LC)方法,用于同时测定5-羟吲哚(5-HIs;5-羟色氨酸、5-羟色胺、N-乙酰-5-羟色胺、5-羟吲哚-3-乙酸和5-羟色醇)。该方法包括用4-(3′,3′,4′,4′,5′,5′,6′,6′,7′,7′,8′,8′,9′,9′,10′,10′,10′-十七氟癸基)苄胺(HFBA)进行柱前衍生,并使用含氟液相色谱柱分离衍生物。在本研究中,通过简单的衍生程序获得了5-HIs与HFBA的稳定苯并恶唑衍生物;它们的荧光特性实现了高灵敏度检测。此外,5-HIs的HFBA衍生物仅通过含氟相互作用选择性保留在含氟液相色谱柱上,全氟烷基化合物之间表现出亲和力,而非含氟化合物则没有。HFBA衍生物在30分钟内分离,进样体积为20μL时5-HIs的检测限为1.2 - 14 fmol(S/N = 3)。此外,该方法应用于健康受试者人血浆中5-HIs的分析。
