Abstract
A new reversed-phase chromatographic method is described for the separation and quantification of thiamine (T), thiamine monophosphate (TMP) and diphosphate (TDP) in rat tissues. Sample extraction with perchloric acid (HClO(4)) was found more suitable than extraction with trichloroacetic acid (TCA), as regards convenience and background fluorescence. Derivatization of thiamine vitamers to thiochromes was optimized and complete separation of TDP and TMP thiochromes was obtained on a RP-amide C16 column in isocratic elution, with T thiochrome eluting in less than 10 min. The precision and the accuracy of the HPLC procedure were assessed: ranging from 0.5 to 7.7% for intra-day and from 2.0 to 9.4% for inter-day precision, a recovery average of 101% was determined (range 90-111%). Mean values of recovery for TDP, TMP or T were 91, 96 and 90% for liver extracts, respectively. Analysis of vitamers in tissues of rat submitted to 8 days thiamin deficiency, followed by a 14 days repletion, showed a significant reduction of TPP after 8 days of depletion in liver (-67%), brains (-50%), kidneys (-60%), followed by a complete recovery upon repletion.Entities:
