Abstract
A rapid and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of multiple inositol phosphates and inositol trisphosphate isomers was developed. The separation of inositol phosphates was optimized by controlling the ionic strength with stepped gradient programs and the pH of mobile phase. Six inositol phosphates were determined within 22 min or the six compounds plus an inositol trisphosphate isomer within 24 min using a single anion-exchange column containing the quaternary ammonium functional group. This technique was successfully applied to the determination of inositol phosphatide turnover by AIF 4 − stimulation in a small amount (5 · 10 5-1 · 10 6 cells) of cultured retinal capillary pericytes. Because of its efficiency, accuracy and applicability to the separation of inositol phosphates from biological samples, this method may be useful in signal transduction studies in cellular systems.
