· High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Pentosidine
Pentosidine is a advanced glycation end-product (AGE) with C 17 H 26 N 6 O 4 • CF 3 COOH chemical formula. Since it is a fluorescent biomarker, it is often used as an indicator in studies of aging and chronic diseases including diabetes and uremia.
Pentosidine 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.
