A high performance liquid chromatographic procedure was developed to determine folic acid and its photodegradation products, p-aminobenzoic acid, pterine-6-carboxylic acid, p-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamic acid, and pteroic acid in the presence of riboflavin. The method involves reversed phase, paired-ion chromatography on mu-BondaPak C18 column using a UV detector (254 nm), and isocratic solvent system (at ambient temperature) comprising 0.017 M monobasic potassium phosphate, tetrabutyl ammonium hydroxide solution (20%, aqueous) and methanol (870:15:250, v/v). The range of quantitation for the individual compounds was found to be: p-aminobenzoic acid, 0.01 - 1.25 x 10(-5) M; pterine-6-carboxylic acid, 0.01-2.0 x 10(-5) M; p-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamic acid, 0.02-2.0 x 10(-5) M; pteroic acid, 0.02-2.5 x 10(-5) M; folic acid, 1.0-5.0 x 10(-5) M; riboflavin, 1.0-5.0 x 10(-5) M. Linear regression analysis of the data demonstrates adequate performance of the method in terms of accuracy and precision (R. S. D. 3%). The method is specific, rapid and convenient and has been applied to photodegradation studies of folic acid in the presence and absence of riboflavin.
建立了一种高效液相色谱法,用于在核黄素存在的情况下测定叶酸及其光降解产物对氨基苯甲酸、蝶呤 - 6 - 羧酸、对氨基苯甲酰 - L - 谷氨酸和蝶酸。该方法采用反相、离子对色谱法,在μ - BondaPak C18柱上使用紫外检测器(254 nm),等度溶剂系统(常温)由0.017 M磷酸二氢钾、氢氧化四丁铵溶液(20%,水溶液)和甲醇(870:15:250,v/v)组成。发现各化合物的定量范围为:对氨基苯甲酸,0.01 - 1.25×10⁻⁵ M;蝶呤 - 6 - 羧酸,0.01 - 2.0×10⁻⁵ M;对氨基苯甲酰 - L - 谷氨酸,0.02 - 2.0×10⁻⁵ M;蝶酸,0.02 - 2.5×10⁻⁵ M;叶酸,1.0 - 5.0×10⁻⁵ M;核黄素,1.0 - 5.0×10⁻⁵ M。数据的线性回归分析表明该方法在准确性和精密度方面表现良好(相对标准偏差为3%)。该方法具有特异性、快速且方便,已应用于在有和没有核黄素存在的情况下叶酸的光降解研究。
