Abstract
A fast and simple HPLC-based assay has been developed for the simultaneous determination of homocysteine (Hcy) and methionine (Met) in plasma and urine samples, utilizing as small volume of sample as 10μL. The assay uses on-column derivatization with o-phthaldialdehyde. The separation of Hcy and Met was achieved in 14min on a reversed phase C-18 column, followed by fluorescence detection (excitation at 348nm and emission at 438nm for Met; excitation at 370nm and emission at 480nm for Hcy). Linearity of the detector response was observed in the range of 2-60 μmol L-1 for Met and 2-40 μmol L-1 for Hcy. The method was successfully applied for Met and Hcy quantification in human and mouse plasma and urine samples from cystathionine β-synthase deficient and unaffected individuals.Entities:
