چکیده

In this simple thin-layer chromatographic (TLC) technique for evaluating porphyrin excretion, porphyrins are extracted from urine or feces, then separated on silica-gel TLC plates. The distinct porphyrin bands are observed by viewing the plates under long-wave fluorescent light. Positive screening tests can readily be confirmed or rejected, and a more comprehensive investigation confidently undertaken.

High-performance thin-layer chromatography of free porphyrins for diagnosis of porphyria.

In this simple high-performance thin-layer chromatographic technique for evaluating porphyrin excretion, porphyrins rapidly extracted from urine or feces are separated on reversed-phase octadecylsilyl (C18)-bonded silica thin-layer chromatography plates. We observed > 12 distinct bands of different porphyrins by viewing the plates under long-wave ultraviolet light. Positive screening tests can ...

Porphyrinogens in urine in various types of porphyrias.

Porphyrinogens were determined in very fresh, diluted morning urine in two types of hepatic porphyria, using a simple and very quick spectrophotometric method. It was shown that acidification by itself is insufficient for the complete conversion of colourless porphyrinogens into porphyrins in photometric determination of porphyrins in diluted urine. A correlation was shown between percentual co...

Rapid procedure for fecal porphyrin assay.

Hydrochloric acid extraction of feces in the presence of ether yields an extract suitable for spectrophotometric estimation of total porphyrin and for further separation by "high-performance" liquid chromatography (HPLC) or thin-layer chromatography. A total porphyrin reference interval of less than 200 nmol/g dry weight of feces was established from data on 106 normal subjects on an unrestrict...

A simplified method for rapid determination of porphyrins by thin-layer chromatography.

Free porphyrins, especially copro-, uro-, and protoporphyrin, were successfully separated by talc thin-layer chromatography (TLC), and were determined from the relationship of the weight and the area of porphyrins in the spot on the thin-layer plate. The results obtained from both the solvent extraction and the simple, rapid TLC method reported in this paper showed good correlation for copropor...

The pattern of porphyrin isomer accumulation and excretion in symptomatic porphyria.

1 . Thin-layer chromatography of porphyrin methyl esters provides a useful and rapid technique for resolving mixtures of porphyrins from biological samples. 2. Application of this technique to urinary, faecal and hepatic porphyrins from patients with symptomatic porphyria revealed five porphyrins of interest which could be identified by mass spectrometry as the methyl esters of porphyrins with ...
