HPLC analysis of proline and 4-hydroxyproline in biological fluids
Abstract
An HPLC method for measuring proline and 4-hydroxyproline in human plasma, saliva and plaintive liquid
(or tear) was validated. Biological samples were deproteinized using acetonitrile. Iminoacids derivatization was
achieved with 9-fluorenylmethyl chloroformate (Fmoc-Cl) after blocking primary amino acids with
orthophthaldialdehyde/2-mercaptoethanol. The derivatives were separated by reversed phase (C18) HPLC and
fluorimetric detection at ex260-em330 nm. We are used columns Luna C18(2) (75 ´ 4.6 mm, 3 μm), Gemini C18
(150 ´ 4.6 mm, 5 mm), both from Phenomenex and high-speed columns (100 ´ 4.6 mm) Chromolith Performance
RP-18e from Merck. For screening on hyperprolinemia in newborn proposed separation method for high-speed
columns with monolithic sorbent Chromolith Performance RP-18e. Simplicity, reproducibility and high sensitivity of
a method, allow its use in a clinical practice for an estimation of biochemical changes at eye and stomatologic
diseases and also for screening on congenital hyperprolinemia at newborn
