Abstract
An analytical technique for the determination of the excitotoxic compound quinolinic acid (2,3-pyridine dicarboxylic acid) in brain tissue has been developed. Following sample prepurification by ion exchange and high pressure liquid chromatography, quinolinic acid is converted to the dihexafluoroisopropyl ester and the derivative is analyzed by mass fragmentography. Using the present technique quinolinic acid has been identified in both rat and human brain tissue.Entities:
