Abstract Urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) was determined by "high-performance" liquid chromatography with fluorometric (LC-F) and amperometric (LC-EC) detection. Urine samples were first purified on a small, open-bed, reversed-phase preparatory column. VMA and the internal standard (iso-VMA) were then separated by reversed-phase ion-pair liquid chromatography. Analytical recovery of VMA was high (98.3%, SD 3.3%, n = 8), and concentrations measured by LC-F and LC-EC were in excellent agreement (r = 0.996). The LC-F chromatograms of urine samples had fewer late peaks; however, detection limits were lower (15 vs 120 micrograms/L) for the LC-EC method. Typical concentrations of 1-10 mg/L in urine can be measured easily with either method.

Abstract A reversed-phase "high-performance" liquid chromatographic assay for dolichols-18, -19 and -20 in urine is described. Dolichols are extracted from urine by using C18 cartridges and are chromatographed with a mobile phase consisting of 2-propanol/methanol, the effluent being monitored at 210 nm. The useful lower limit of sensitivity for quantification is 4 pmol (5 ng) of each dolichol per 5-microL injection, corresponding to 1.6 nmol (2 ng) per liter of urine. Heneicosaprenol is satisfactory as the internal standard. Peak heights and the amounts of dolichols applied to the column are linearly related from 4 to 110 pmol. Mean analytical recovery was 71%. For three different concentrations the mean within-assay CV was 6.4%, the between-assay CV 11%. The normal reference interval of total dolichols found for healthy adults was 17-101 micrograms/24 h (n = 30) or 1.9-11 micrograms per millimole of creatinine (n = 39). I determined the distribution of the main dolichols in urine and applied the assay also for samples from alcoholics.

Abstract We describe and evaluate a procedure for measuring urinary 5-hydroxy-3-indoleacetic acid by "high-performance" liquid chromatography. After a simple organic extraction, the analyte and internal standard are chromatographed on a reversed-phase column and are detected by native fluorescence. The detection limit (3 ng per injection), between-day precision (CV 5.2%), absolute recovery (70%), analytical recovery (99%), and working linear range (up to 15 mg/L) have been determined. Compared with colorimetric results with nitrosonaphthol, values obtained with the chromatographic method are significantly lower. Reference values and clinical experience with the method are reported. The method is simple, free from interferences, and suitable for use in routine analysis in the clinical laboratory.

Abstract This method for determination of haloperidol in plasma is based on "high-performance" isocratic liquid chromatography with the use of a C8 bonded reversed-phase column at room temperature. Haloperidol and the internal standard (chloro-substituted analog) are extracted from alkalinized plasma into isoamyl alcohol/heptane (1.5/98.5 by vol) and back-extracted into dilute H2SO4. The aqueous phase is directly injected onto the column. The mobile phase is a 30/45/25 (by vol) mixture of phosphate buffer (16.5 mmol/L, pH 7.0), acetonitrile, and methanol. Unlike other liquid-chromatographic procedures for haloperidol, commonly used psychotropic drugs do not interfere. Analysis can be completed within an hour. The procedure is extremely sensitive (1.0 microgram/L) and is well reproducible (CV 5.6% for a 2.5 micrograms/L concentration in plasma).

Abstract In this method for 4-hydroxyproline in urine, hydroxyproline is derivatized with 4-chloro-7-nitrobenzofurazan, with subsequent estimation by reversed-phase "high-performance" liquid chromatography. The ranges for excretion of free and total hydroxyproline while the subjects were ingesting unrestricted diets were 2-29 and 122-374 mumol/24 h (n = 21), respectively, with no significant sex-related difference. A comparison with results by colorimetry indicated no significant differences: mean (n = 18) concentrations (mumol/L) of hydroxyproline in urine were 180 (SD 149) by the present method, 163 (SD 166) by colorimetry. For protein hydrolysate the respective values were 5.9 (SD 2.7) and 6.7 (SD 2.9).

Abstract We have developed "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic methods for determining 4-aminopyridine, an acetylcholine-releasing drug, in serum, saliva, and urine. As little as 1 microgram/L can be detected by extracting the alkalinized sample plus the internal standard (3,4-diaminopyridine) into dichloromethane, mixing the organic phase with 1-pentanol, evaporating the dichloromethane, and injecting the residue onto a reversed-phase column, where it is eluted with acetonitrile/methanol/aqueous ammonium carbonate, with detection at 245 nm. Analytical recoveries from serum averaged 86.7%. The CV at 50 micrograms/L was 2.9% (n = 8). For urine samples containing very high concentrations of 4-aminopyridine, we mixed urine and potassium carbonate in an automatic injector vial, extracted the drug into dichloromethane, centrifuged, and injected an aliquot of the extract into the chromatograph. Analytical recoveries averaged 92%, and the CV was about 2% for drug concentrations of 0.1-8 mg/L of urine.

Abstract We describe a simple liquid-chromatographic system for simultaneously measuring bronchodilators, anticonvulsants, hypnotics, and chloramphenicol. Use in therapeutic drug monitoring includes determination of theophylline, caffeine, chloramphenicol, ethosuximide, primidone, phenobarbital, phenacemide, phenytoin, mephenytoin, nirvanol, and carbamazepine and its bioactive metabolites within 13 min. In the "toxicology mode" theophylline, caffeine, barbital, butabarbital, pentobarbital, amobarbital, secobarbital, primidone, phenobarbital, methylprylon, glutethimide, methaqualone, phenytoin, mephenytoin, nirvanol, and carbamazepine and its bioactive metabolites are resolved within 17 min. A reversed-phase C8 column (5-microns particles) is used, with acetonitrile/water (20/80 by vol) as mobile phase. The drugs are extracted from 50 microL of serum with use of a Chromosorb P microcolumn and chloroform/isopropanol (6/1 by vol). The drugs are quantified by absorbance at 208 nm, with tolylphenobarbital as internal standard. Lower limits of detection varied from 0.05 to 0.1 mg/L, analytical recovery from 94% to 106%; CVs were less than 5.6% within run, less than 6.9% between runs.

Abstract This high-performance liquid-chromatographic (HPLC) method for simultaneous determination of prednisone and its metabolite, prednisolone, in plasma is a modification of the method of Frey et al. (Clin Chem 1979;25:1944-7). Heparinized plasma (1.0 mL) with 0.1 mL of internal standard solution (11-deoxy-17-hydroxycorticosterone, 2 mg/L) is extracted with 7.0 mL of dichloromethane, then washed sequentially with 0.1 mol/L HCl, 0.1 mol/L NaOH, and deionized water, 2.0 mL each. The extract is evaporated and the residue reconstituted with 75 microL of mobile phase, methanol/H2O (40/60 by vol). Thirty microliters of this is injected onto a reversed-phase C6 column, which is eluted at 1.4 mL/min. Analytical recoveries of prednisone and prednisolone were 94-98% and 102-106%, respectively. Day-to-day precision (CV) was 3.8% for prednisone, 6.1% for prednisolone. We encountered no interference from the 21 other steroids and 25 drugs tested. This method is simple, accurate, and precise.

Abstract A phenylboronate affinity gel has been investigated for use in the prepurification of urine before "high-performance" liquid chromatography and electrochemical determination of 5-S-L-cysteinyl-L-dopa. At pH 5.6 this naturally occurring 5-S-cysteinyldopa was adsorbed on a phenylboronate column and was quantitatively eluted with trichloroacetate, pH 3.0. This pretreatment of urine before "high-performance" liquid chromatography produced satisfactory chromatographic separations, and the results were further improved when the purification procedure also included treatment on a cation exchanger. By using 5-S-D-cysteinyl-L-dopa--a diastereomer to 5-S-L-cysteinyl-L-dopa--as an internal standard, we have developed a practical routine method for the quantitative determination of urinary 5-S-L-cysteinyl-L-dopa. The precision (CV = 2.4%) and analytical recovery (96.9%, SD 5.3%) were satisfactory and the results obtained correlated well with a previously described method.

Abstract In this novel procedure for determining ethylene glycol in plasma by liquid chromatography, benzoyl esters of ethylene glycol and of benzyl alcohol (used as the internal standard) are prepared directly in plasma. The benzoyl esters, highly ultraviolet-absorbing chromogens, are ideal compounds for analysis by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with methanol/water as the mobile phase. The benzoyl derivative of ethylene glycol is well separated from the derivative of the internal standard and from plasma constituents. The standard curve is linear to 400 mg of ethylene glycol per liter. As little as 10 mg of ethylene glycol per liter of plasma can be measured. Other commonly ingested alcohols do not interfere.

Abstract We have adapted to erythrocytes a method for the determination of alpha- and gamma-tocopherols in plasma and platelets. Erythrocytes (50 microL) were extracted with methanol containing tocol (internal standard) and pyrogallol. Tocopherols were partitioned into chloroform, washed, and injected in methanol onto a reversed-phase (C18) "high-performance" liquid-chromatographic column. The mobile phase was methanol/water (99/1 by vol) at a flow rate of 2 mL/min and detection was with a "high-performance" spectrophotofluorometer. The limit of detection for either tocopherol is 0.10 microgram/mL of packed cells. Analytical recoveries ranged from 93 to 104%. Some values for tocopherols in human erythrocytes are presented.
