G. Taibi et Mr. Schiavo, SIMPLE HIGH-PERFORMANCE LIQUID-CHROMATOGRAPHIC ASSAY FOR POLYAMINES AND THEIR MONOACETYL DERIVATIVES, Journal of chromatography. Biomedical applications, 614(1), 1993, pp. 153-158
A rapid reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method,
using pre-column derivatization with benzoyl chloride and ultraviolet
detection at 254 nm, was developed for the simultaneous measurement o
f polyamines and their monoacetyl derivatives. Calibration curves were
linear for concentrations from 1.25 to 25 nmol/ml. The method was emp
loyed to assay these compounds in chick embryo retina explants using o
rganic solvent extraction and 1,7-diaminoheptane as an internal standa
rd. This simple and sensitive method can be applied to routine determi
nations of these compounds in various biological samples.
