Reduced folate derivatives in rat bile were examined using high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection (HPLC-ED). Three peaks of folate compounds were observed on the chromatograms. From the retention-time profiles and hydrodynamic voltammograms, and the profiles of ultraviolet (UV) absorbance spectra obtained by HPLC with photodiode array detection, these 3 peaks were identified as 10-formyltetrahydrofolate (10-HCO-H4PteGlu), tetrahydrofolate (H4PteGlu) and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5-CH3-H4PteGlu). The rates of bile secretion of 10-HCO-H4PteGlu, H4PteGlu and 5-CH3H4PteGlu were 314 +/- 181, 321 +/- 179 and 449 +/- 198 ng/h (mean +/- S.D.), respectively. 10-HCO-H4PteGlu and H4PteGlu together wtih 5-CH3-H4-PteGlu are found to be the major folate derivatives in rat bile. The nonmethylated folates, 10-HCO-H4PteGlu and H4PteGlu, may also play an important role in folate homeostasis.
采用高效液相色谱-电化学检测法(HPLC-ED)对大鼠胆汁中的还原型叶酸衍生物进行了检测。在色谱图上观察到了三个叶酸化合物峰。根据保留时间谱、流体动力伏安图以及通过配备光电二极管阵列检测的HPLC获得的紫外(UV)吸收光谱图,这三个峰分别被鉴定为10-甲酰基四氢叶酸(10-HCO-H4PteGlu)、四氢叶酸(H4PteGlu)和5-甲基四氢叶酸(5-CH3-H4PteGlu)。10-HCO-H4PteGlu、H4PteGlu和5-CH3-H4PteGlu的胆汁分泌速率分别为314±181、321±179和449±198 ng/h(平均值±标准差)。发现10-HCO-H4PteGlu、H4PteGlu与5-CH3-H4-PteGlu共同构成大鼠胆汁中的主要叶酸衍生物。未甲基化的叶酸,即10-HCO-H4PteGlu和H4PteGlu,可能在叶酸稳态中也起着重要作用。
