· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Phosphonoacetic acid
Phosphonoacetic Acid , also written as PAA , is an organophosphorus compound with the chemical formula C 2 H 5 O 5 P . It is used primarily in research as a targeted inhibitor of DNA polymerase in herpesviruses, cytomegalovirus, and orthopoxyviruses. It is also a structural precursor and model in broad-spectrum antiviral agents.
Phosphonoacetic acid can be retained and analyzed using the Chromni stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes a gradient method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with an sulfuric acid as a buffer. Detection is performed using UV.
