A sensitive and highly selective high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-based method has been developed for the analysis of oligosaccharides in biological fluids. In this method, a sample of biological fluid, such as blood serum or urine, is filtered through a 10,000 molecular weight cutoff filter cartridge to remove large molecules such as proteins and lipids. The carbohydrates in the filtrate are then derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) as described previously [Anal. Biochem. 180, 351-357, (1989)]. The derivatized carbohydrates are separated by reverse-phase HPLC and monitored by UV absorbance at 245 nm. Quantitative analysis of the carbohydrates can be achieved based on their integration values relative to a standard calibration curve. Since neutral and acidic carbohydrates can be separated by using Dowex 1-X8 anion exchange resin, this method can be used specifically to analyze neutral, acidic, and total carbohydrates in the biological fluids. Because PMP specifically reacts with reducing aldoses, interference from noncarbohydrate components present in the biological fluids is essentially eliminated. This method has proven to be highly sensitive, requiring as little as 5 pmol of analyte for reliable analysis. It has also been used successfully for pharmacokinetic analysis of carbohydrate drugs in human blood and urine samples. (C) 1999 Academic Press.
