Abstract
An approach that allows direct analysis of the ratio of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) by using CE is presented. The analytes were extracted on phenylboronic acid phase and eluted with 100 mmol/L HCl. CE separation of the analytes took place in the transient isotachophoresis mode with addition of NaCl and meglumine to the samples. The sensitivity (S/N = 3) and quantification limit (S/N = 10) of the method were 0.07 and 0.2 μmol/L, respectively, using a silica capillary with 50 μm internal diameter and 30.5 cm total length. The BGE was 0.02 mol/L Tris with 1 mol/L HCOOH (pH 2.2), and the separation voltage was 15-17 kV. Accuracy of SAM and SAH analysis in urine was 96 and 105%, respectively; interday precision for the SAM/SAH ratio was within 6%. The theoretical plate number exceeded a million. Total analysis time was 8.5 min.
