To examine sera for the presence of salicylic acid and 2,3- and 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acids (2,3- and 2,5-DHBA), in individuals not taking salicylate drugs.
Extracts of acidified serum samples were analysed by high performance liquid chromatography with electro-chemical detection. The chromatographic conditions were altered, and the retention times of the unknown compounds compared against authentic salicylic acid, 2,3-DHBA, and 2,5-DHBA. Serum samples (some spiked with salicylic acid) were incubated with salicylate hydroxylase and analyses undertaken. An extract of acidified serum was derivatised using N-methyl-N-trimethylsilyltrifluoroacetamide and the salicylic acid derivative identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Salicylic acid, 2,3-DHBA, and 2,5-DHBA were identified as being normal constituents of serum.
Salicylic acid, 2,3-DHBA, and 2,5-DHBA possess anti-inflammatory properties. The finding that these compounds are present as normal constituents of serum, possibly arising from diet, raises important questions as to their role in the promotion of health.
检测未服用水杨酸盐类药物个体的血清中水杨酸、2,3 - 二羟基苯甲酸和2,5 - 二羟基苯甲酸(2,3 - DHBA和2,5 - DHBA)的存在情况。
采用高效液相色谱 - 电化学检测法分析酸化血清样本提取物。改变色谱条件,将未知化合物的保留时间与水杨酸、2,3 - DHBA和2,5 - DHBA标准品进行比较。血清样本(部分添加了水杨酸)与水杨酸羟化酶孵育后进行分析。酸化血清提取物用N - 甲基 - N - 三甲基硅烷基三氟乙酰胺衍生化,通过气相色谱 - 质谱法鉴定水杨酸衍生物。
水杨酸、2,3 - DHBA和2,5 - DHBA被鉴定为血清的正常成分。
水杨酸、2,3 - DHBA和2,5 - DHBA具有抗炎特性。这些化合物作为血清正常成分存在,可能源于饮食,这一发现引发了关于它们在促进健康方面作用的重要问题。
