摘要
This study reports a novel fluorescent chiral derivatization reagent, 4-(,-dmethylaminosulfonyl)-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole-(2-succinimidoxy)--2-methyl-L-proline (DBD-S-M-Pro), with a benzoxadiazole structure containing an -hydroxysuccinimide activation group. DBD-S-M-Pro targets chiral amino-functional compounds under alkaline conditions without a condensation agent. Gradient elution was performed on a BEH C18 (100 × 2.1 mm, 1.7 μm) column with a mobile phase of 0.05% formic acid (FA) in 10 mM ammonium acetate (CHCOONH) and 0.1% FA in acetonitrile or methanol. The efficiency of the chiral resolution was evaluated under excitation and emission wavelengths of 450 nm and 560 nm, respectively. The 19 chiral amino acids were separated in the range of 1.45-14.84. The resolutions of almost all DL-amino acids exceeded 1.5; the exceptions were serine (Ser) and lysine (Lys), with resolutions of 1.45 and 1.46, respectively. In addition, a new approach was devised for the simultaneous analysis of four chiral amino acids (DL-Glu, DL-Ala, DL-Val, and DL-Phe) in human hair. These amino acids were analyzed in the range of 12.5-400 pmol, with ≥ 0.9990, limits of detection (S/N = 3) of 4-10 pmol, and intraday and interday precisions of 0.57-6.23%. The average spikes in the hair recoveries were 89.76-111.54%, and the matrix effects were 92.47-102.40%. Next, the contents of free chiral amino acids in the hair samples of 10 healthy volunteers (five males and five females) were analyzed with this method, and the differences were compared. The developed DBD-S-M-Pro provides a novel strategy for the sensitive determination of free chiral amino acids in living organisms.
