HPLC Method for Analysis of Desmosine
High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Desmosine
Desmosine is pyridinium-based amino acid derivative with C24H40N5O8 + molecular formula. It is found exclusively in elastin. Elevated levels of desmosine in urine can be a symptom of Chronic Obstructive Pukmonary Disease (COPF), so it can be used as a biomarker when monitoring progression and aiding in a potential diagnosis.
Desmosine can be retained and analyzed using the Obelisc R stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with an ammonium acetate buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
