Abstract

A simple and highly sensitive method for the determination of beta-phenylethylamine in human plasma is investigated. The method employs high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection. beta-Phenylethylamine and p-methylbenzylamine (internal standard) in human plasma are isolated by cation-exchange chromatography on a Toyopak SP cartridge and then converted into the corresponding fluorescent derivatives with 3,4-dihydro-6,7-dimethoxy-4-methyl-3-oxoquinoxaline-2-carbonyl chloride, a fluorescence derivatization reagent for amines. The derivatives are separated within 30 min on a reversed-phase column, TSK gel ODS-120T, with isocratic elution, and detected fluorometrically. The detection limit of beta-phenylethylamine is 0.3 pmol/ml in plasma (S/N = 3).
