Derivatization of isolated endogenous butyrobetaine with 4'-bromophenacyl trifluoromethanesulfonate followed by high-performance liquid chromatography.

A method for the isolation and chromatography of butyrobetaine from plasma, urine, and liver is described. The recovery of [3H-methyl]butyrobetaine from spiked biological samples was from 76-80%. Spiked samples then were derivatized with 4'-bromophenacyl trifluoromethanesulfonate and the butyrobetaine 4'-bromophenacyl ester was isolated by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Radioactivity eluted in a single peak which co-chromatographed with authentic butyrobetaine 4'-bromophenacyl ester. Two identical liver specimens were treated according to this isolation procedure. Prior to derivatization, one specimen was treated with butyrobetaine hydroxylase. After derivatization, there was no butyrobetaine 4'-bromophenacyl ester peak in the specimen treated with butyrobetaine hydroxylase. The HPLC detection sensitivity to butyrobetaine 4'-bromophenacyl ester was 1 pmol injected with a signal-to-noise greater than 2:1.[1]
