Tetrodotoxin (TTX) and a variety of paralytic shellfish poisons (PSPs) were extracted from toxic specimens of puffer and scallop, and quantitated by high-performance liquid chromatography with a fluorometric detection using o-phthalaldehyde. Fluorescence spectra for the TTX- and PSP-fluorophors in 0.05 M borate buffer (pH 10) showed maxima at 453 nm with 332-nm excitation. The fluorescence intensity per nM of TTX was found to be 3 and those of PSP to be 4-12. This fluorometric technique may be useful for the simultaneous quantitation of TTX and PSP in small volumes of toxin extracts.
从河豚和扇贝的有毒样本中提取了河豚毒素(TTX)和多种麻痹性贝类毒素(PSP),并通过高效液相色谱法结合邻苯二甲醛荧光检测进行定量分析。在0.05 M硼酸盐缓冲液(pH 10)中,TTX和PSP荧光团的荧光光谱在332 nm激发下,于453 nm处出现最大值。发现每纳摩尔TTX的荧光强度为3,而PSP的荧光强度为4 - 12。这种荧光检测技术可能有助于对少量毒素提取物中的TTX和PSP进行同时定量分析。
