摘要

We have developed a new analytical method to quantify the DL-homoalanine-4-yl(methyl)phosphinate (DL-GLUF) enantiomers in biological specimens using a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography system with a fluorescence detection system. The derivatization of DL-GLUF enantiomers with (+)-1-(9-fluorenyl)ethyl chloroformate was carried out under mild conditions (40 degrees C for 30 min) without inducing racemization. The lower limit of quantitation was 0.01 microg/ml for both D-GLUF and L-GLUF, and the detection limit was 5 ng/ml. When DL-GLUF enantiomers were added to serum to produce concentrations between 0.1 and 100 microg/ml, the mean recovery rate was at least 93.8%. The recovery rate from urine was also satisfactory.Copyright 2002 Elsevier Science B.V.
