Abstract
Metabolomic analysis of different body fluids bears high importance in medical sciences. Our aim was to develop and validate a fast UHPLC-UV method for the analysis of 33 amino acids and biogenic amines from complex biological samples. AccQ-Tag derivatization was conducted on target molecules and the derivatized targets were analyzed by UHPLC-UV. The detection of the analytes was carried out with UV analysis and by Selected Reaction Monitoring (SRM)-based targeted mass spectrometry. The method was validated according to the FDA guidelines. Serum and non-stimulated tear samples were collected from five healthy individuals and the samples were analyzed by the method. The method was successfully validated with appropriate accuracy and precision for all 33 biomolecules. A total of 29 analytes were detected in serum samples and 26 of them were quantified. In the tears, 30 amino acids and biogenic amines were identified and 20 of them were quantified. The developed and validated UHPLC-UV method enables the fast and precise analysis of amino acids and biogenic amines from complex biological samples.
