Phenylalanine and tyrosine in serum and eluates from dried blood spots as determined by reversed-phase liquid chromatography.

چکیده
We have developed a reversed-phase liquid-chromatographic procedure for simultaneously determining phenylalanine and tyrosine in serum and eluates of dried blood spots. Batch derivatization with phenylisothiocyanate and a 10-min linear gradient chromatographic assay with ultraviolet absorbance detection provide rapid sample throughput. Interrun precision (CV) is less than 12%; analytical recovery (from blood spot samples) exceeds 85%. Results for patients' samples correlate well with those from an amino acid analyzer and we encountered no apparent interferences. The speed and specificity of this assay facilitate the rapid diagnosis and monitoring of patients with phenylketonuria.

Liquid-chromatographic quantification of plasma phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan.
Phenylalanine, tyrosine, and tryptophan are isolated and quantified by "high-pressure" liquid chromatography, with fluorescence detection. An isocratic mobile phase and reversed-phase column are used to provide rapid and reproducible measurement of these amino acids in as little as 1 to 2 microL of human plasma.
متن کاملLiquid-chromatographic measurement of phenylalanine and tyrosine in serum.
With phenylalanine ammonia-lyase (EC 4.3.1.5) we converted phenylalanine (Phe) and tyrosine (Tyr) to transcinnamic acid and p-coumaric acid, respectively. These were separated by "high-performance" liquid chromatography and detected at 280 nm. We measured the Phe and Tyr content of human serum by adding 100 mU of the enzyme to a 20-microL serum aliquot, mixing for 2 h at 24 degrees C, then stop...

A reversed-phase salt assisted liquid-liquid extraction (RP-SALLE) method was developed for the preconcentration and determination of trace crocin in herbal medicines by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). In developed method, the roles of the aqueous and organic phases are inverted so that the analyte is extracted from the organic into the aqueous phase after salt addition and phase...
