Abstract:
A reversed phase liquid chromatographic (RPLC) method was developed to simultaneously detect and quantify creatinine, quinolinic acid, gentisic acid and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid in urine. These four bio-markers are present in relatively high concentrations in urine. Using a 5% methanol in water mobile phase with 0.6% acetic acid and a Zorbax C18 column, baseline resolution for all four biomarkers in synthetic urine was achieved. Better resolution was obtained for the separation of these four compounds when water rich mobile phases were used. Detection of the four biomarkers in urine using the proposed RPLC method is limited by background from the urine matrix for the later eluting compounds and from the dead marker for earlier eluting compounds.
