A fluorimetric liquid chromatographic method for the determination of 5-hydroxyindoles based on the benzylamine derivatization process mediated through an online photocatalytic oxidation has been developed. In this study, we used a photocatalytic column comprising tefzel tubing packed with TiO2-coated glass beads, as a pre-column derivatization reactor. The fluorescence derivatization of 5-hydroxyindoles using benzylamine proceeded during their passage through the reaction column under near-UV irradiation. The 5-hydroxyindole derivatives were separated continuously on a reversed-phase liquid chromatography within 50min, using 100mM acetate buffer (pH 4.6)–acetonitrile (72:28, v/v; isocratic elution) containing 3mM sodium octanesulfonate; the samples were detected fluorimetrically at 465nm upon excitation at 350nm. The detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio=3) of the 5-hydroxyindoles were in the range from 160 to 360fmol per 5μL injection. We have applied this method, which requires minimal sample pre-treatment, to the determination of 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid in human urine.
