Abstract

This study describes the derivatization of the pseudooligosaccharide acarbose and its main metabolite, component 2, with 7-aminonaphthalene-1,3-disulfonic acid (ANDS) in human urine. Their efficient separation was possible by means of capillary zone electrophoresis, using a capillary tube of fused-silica containing 100 m M triethylammonium phosphate buffer, pH 1.5. On column laser-induced fluorescence allowed the detection of the pseudooligosaccharides in human urine in the nanomolar range. With this method, acarbose and component 2 were quantified in human urine after application of 300 mg of acarbose.
