A new, highly sensitive HPLC assay method using an electrochemical detector (ECD) for multiple assay of vitamin D metabolites is reported. The assay involves extracting lipids from plasma with methylene chloride and methanol, purification on Zorbax SIL column with 5.5% (v/v) iso-propanol in hexane and quantification by HPLC-ECD. A coulometric system, composed of the dual electrode analytical cell and a guard cell, was used for ECD of the eluting compounds. The potentials applied to detectors 1 and 2 in a dual electrode analytical cell were adjusted to +0.20 V and +0.60 V, respectively. This method is sensitive to 20 pg of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3[25(OH)D3] and of 24R,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3[24,25(OH)2D3]. Calibration curves gave linearity from 20–1000 pg for 25(OH)D3and 24,25(OH)2D3. The detection limit was approximately 50 pg ml−1for 25(OH)D3and 24,25(OH)2D3in plasma. This sensitivity combined with an overall recovery of 25(OH)D3(81.5 ± 2.6%, mean ± S.E.) allows the measurement of trace amount of 25(OH)D3with only 20 μl of plasma. Intra- and interassay RSD values were 5.3 and 9.7% for 25(OH)D3and 6.3 and 9.7% for 24,25(OH)2D3, respectively. Plasma levels of 25(OH)D3and 24,25(OH)2D3in normal adults were 15.9 ± 2.8 ng ml−1(n = 10) and 1.4 ± 0.5 ng ml−1(n = 10), respectively. This method allows the determination of 25(OH)D2and 25(OH)D3for evaluating their nutritional and clinical status. From these results, it is concluded that the proposed HPLC-ECD assay system is useful for the determination of vitamin D metabolites in biological fluids as a highly sensitive physicochemical method.
