Abstract We describe a sensitive, simple method for measuring homovanillic acid in human plasma. The method is based on liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Sensitivity was 125 pg of homovanillic acid per injection. Samples were deproteinized and extracted with organic solvent before chromatography. Quantification was by the standard-additions technique. Analytical recovery of added HVA was 44.8 (SD 6.2%). We confirmed specificity by using serial amperometric detectors.

Abstract A liquid chromatographic method using electrochemical detection is presented for measuring the thiol WR-1065 [2-(3-aminopropylamino) ethanethiol] and its symmetrical disulfide WR-33278 [NH2(CH2)3NHCH2CH2S]2. WR-1065 is the active, radioprotective drug derived from the phosphorothioate pro-drug WR-2721 (amifostine). External standard curves for both compounds were linear over the range of 40-200 pmol injected (r2 = 0.999 and 0.996 for the thiol and disulfide, respectively). The detection and quantitation limits for WR-1065 were 9 and 18 pmol, respectively, whereas the corresponding values for WR-33278 were 30 and 59 pmol, respectively. Within- and between-day determinations of measurement precision and accuracy for both compounds validated the suitability of this assay method.
