Chemical derivatization enhances the identification and quantification of phospholipids in biological samples. This review covers derivatization methods for chromatography and early spray reagents for thin-layer chromatography.

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Analytical Chemistry

Background:

  • Phospholipids are essential structural components of all biological membranes.
  • Accurate identification and quantification of phospholipids in biological matrices are challenging without prior modification.
  • Chemical derivatization significantly improves analytical selectivity and sensitivity for phospholipids.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of derivatization techniques for phospholipid analysis.
  • To cover methods used in High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Capillary Electrophoresis (CE), and Gas Chromatography (GC).
  • To include historical context with spray reagents for Thin-Layer Chromatography (TLC).

Main Methods:

  • Review of published literature on phospholipid derivatization up to March 2002.
