Abstract
A highly sensitive and selective fluorometric method for the determination of histamine and histidine has been developed. This method is based on an intramolecular excimer-forming fluorescence derivatization with a pyrene reagent followed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The analytes, containing two amino moieties in a molecule, were converted to the corresponding dipyrene-labeled derivatives by derivatization. The derivatives afforded intramolecular excimer fluorescence (440 - 540 nm), which can clearly be discriminated from the normal fluorescence (360 - 420 nm) emitted from reagent blanks. The detection limits (signal-to-noise ratio = 3) were femto mole levels.
