A simple, sensitive and reproducible isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method has been developed for the determination of amino acids in human serum. The method involves precipitation of the serum proteins with methanol followed by pre-column derivatization of amino acids with o-phthalaldehyde-2-mercaptoethanol or o-phthalaldehyde-sodium sulfite. HPLC separation of the derivatives was performed using an ODS column with an isocratic mobile phase system and electrochemical detection (+0.75 V). The response was linear over the range 5-300 muM for all amino acids. The method allows quantitative determination of glutamic acid, asparagine, serine. glutamine, histidine, taurine, alanine, arginine, methionine, isoleucine, ornithine, leucine, phenylalanine, lysine and tryptophan at concentrations as low as 0.5-5.0 pmol (signal-to-noise ratio=2). Using this method, the levels of amino acids in serum from healthy donors and patients with ischemic stroke were determined. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
