Abstract

This article covers molecular designs to develop several new fluorometric reagents and their applications to increase the sensitivities up to the picomole level using HPLC for the measurement of biomolecules. The methods were designed to demonstrate the physiological activities, for example (1) N-(9-acridinyl)maleimide (NAM) for the measurement of SH, –S–S–, and sulfite such as cysteine, (2) diphenyl-1-pyrenylphosphine (DPPP) for the hydroperoxides in lipids, serum, tissues, and foodstuffs, (3) 9-bromomethylacridine (9-BrMA), (4) 2-(anthracene-2,3-dicarboxylimide)ethyltrifluoromethane sulfonate (AE-OTf) for carboxylic acids, and (5) The chiral fluorometric labelling reagent (S)-( + )-2-tert-butyl-2-methyl-1,3-benzodioxole-4-carboxylic acid (TBMB) to identify the chiralities of amino acids, sugars, and mono- and diacylglycerols.
