Abstract
A method is presented for determining 3-N-oxalyl-2,3-diaminopropanoic acid (beta-ODAP), the most potent neurotoxic substance of the seeds and seedlings of Lathyrus sativus, and its much less toxic 2-isomer (alpha-ODAP). The separation of the two forms is achieved after derivatization with phenylisothiocyanate employing a HPLC system. This method was used to monitor the isomerization of beta-ODAP to alpha-ODAP at different time intervals and to quantify the toxin level in seed extracts.Entities:
