Popis: | We describe a sensitive, simple and convenient stable isotope dilution assay developed to study endogenous metabolism of administered stable isotope-labeled phenylalanine (Phe) in phenylketonuric (PKU) mice treated experimentally with phenylalanine ammonia lyase (PAL). Mouse urine and plasma containing endogenous and administered labeled Phe together with internal standard Phe bearing a different pattern of labeling are converted by in situ diazotization to 2-chloro-3-phenylpropionic acid (CPP). A single solvent extraction is then used to isolate the isotopomers of CPP along with the trans-cinnamic acid (TCA) produced from Phe by PAL, as well as the TCA metabolites benzoic and hippuric acids. This procedure eliminates the need for a separate ion-exchange isolation step for Phe on a second sample aliquot and separate GC-MS analysis. Extracted CPP and the Phe metabolites are then measured by conversion to the pentafluorobenzyl esters and a single analysis by electron capture negative ion GC-MS. The estimated lower limit of quantitation is 0.1 microM. |
