Simultaneous analysis of D- and L-serine in cerebrospinal fluid by use of HPLC.

چکیده
BACKGROUND D-Serine is a coagonist for the glycine-binding site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate receptors and has been implicated in various neuropsychiatric functions such as learning, memory, and nociception, as well as schizophrenia and Alzheimer disease. We developed an HPLC method for D- and L-serine in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). METHODS The dabsylated racemic serine peak, automatically collected using a previously reported HPLC separation process for CSF amino acids, was desalted and subjected to a chiral resolution HPLC step with a Sumichiral column using an ultraviolet-visible detector. RESULTS The limits of quantification (signal-to-noise ratio = 10) for D- and L-serine were 0.8 and 1.3 micromol/L, respectively. The mean imprecision values (CVs) for within-day measurements of D- and L-serine were 2.1% and 1.8%, respectively, and for between-day were 6.2% and 6.6%. Mean recovery of CSF serine (sum of D-serine + L-serine) applied to the Sumichiral column was 87%. The mean (SD) d-serine concentrations in 45 CSF samples obtained from 16 patients with chronic pain due to degenerative osteoarthritis of the knees, 16 with postherpetic neuralgia, and 13 with no pain were, respectively, 3.97 (0.44), 1.85 (0.21), and 2.72 (0.32) micromol/L. CONCLUSION D- and L-serine can be quantified with ultraviolet-visible detection of dabsyl derivatives. The dabsyl derivatives are stable and allow duplicate analysis of CSF samples in multisample runs.

Development of an RP-HPLC-UV method for simultaneous detection of nimodipine and its metabolite in cerebrospinal fluid of rat
A rapid, simple and reproducible HPLC method was developed and validated for the analysis of nimodipine (NM) and/or its metabolite, oxidized nimodipine (OX–NM) in rat cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and artificial CSF. The NM and OX–NM were eluted in less than 10 min with no interferences from the endogenous CSF peaks. Analysis was carried out on a Eurospher Performance (RP-C18, 250 × 4.6 mm) column ...

It was long believed that only the L-isomer of amino acids existed in mammals, and D–amino acids were regarded as laboratory artifacts and categorized as “unnatural” isomers. This term was widely used in textbooks of biochemistry. D–amino acids were known to be prominent in bacteria, and there were occasional reports of D–amino acids found in invertebrates (1 ).
