Abstract
An analytical procedure for determination of malondialdehyde in tissue homogenates and blood serum was developed. A reaction with 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine is used followed by cleaning up of the derivative by solid-phase extraction. The samples were analyzed by isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) using a narrow-bore HPLC-column. A good separation of the 1-pyrazole peak from that of 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine was observed. A high linear dependence was established by the concentration of 1-pyrazole in the range of 10-5000 ng/ml. The detection limit of the method applied for tissue homogenates and blood serum was approximately 10 ng/ml or lower, and RSD of the method was 9% (n = 8). The peak of 1-pyrazole for these samples was well separated from the other matrix peaks. Experiments carried out evaluated that the solid-phase extraction might be an effective step of the sample preparation, significantly increasing the selectivity of the analysis and the life-time of the column. The method seems to be applicable for determination of malondialdehyde in different biological samples.
