Ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography of purine compounds in the small intestinal mucosa of children with coeliac disease.

Isocratic methods are described for the separation of purine compounds in specimens of jejunal mucosa available by peroral biopsy from patients with coeliac disease. The first mode provided separation of both the ionic nucleoside monophosphates and the non-ionic nitrogen bases and nucleosides. The second mode was applicable to analyses of the nucleoside mono-, di- and triphosphates only.

Influence of perinatal hypoxia on purine contents in erythrocytes of newborn infants.

Alterations in the levels of hypoxanthine and some other purine derivatives occurring in the erythrocytes from umbilical cord blood of newborn infants with perinatal hypoxia were examined. Newborn babies were divided into two groups which included infants with favourable (Group 1) and complicated (Group 2) periods of early adaptation. Purine metabolites of erythrocytes were analyzed by isocratic reversed-phase HPLC.

Optimization of the ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatographic separation of purine derivatives in erythrocytes, thymocytes and liver mitochondria.

Various methods are described for the analysis of purine derivatives in biological samples by ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with both gradient and isocratic systems. A new approach is proposed that is suitable for the separation of nuclei acid constituents in different cells with a specific enzymatic activity pattern. The ion-pair HPLC methods were developed for the analysis of erythrocytes, lymphocytes and mitochondria acid-soluble fractions in clinical and experimental studies of normal and altered nucleotide metabolism.
