A simple method for the analysis of urinary sucralose for use in tests of intestinal permeability.

BACKGROUND: Sucralose is a unique disaccharide probe which is stable in the colon and can be used to assess permeability over the whole gut. Additional information can be gained when sucralose is administered in combination with lactulose and a monosaccharide such as L-rhamnose in the form of a 'triple sugar test.' We describe a simple assay for urinary sucralose by HPLC with refractive index detection (HPLC-RI). METHODS: Phenyl-beta-D-glucopyranoside (internal standard) was added to 10 mL of urine, which was then passed through a 0.45 microm syringe filter. Elution was with 30% methanol (1 mL/min) on a reverse-phase C18 column. Detection was by refractive index, and integration based upon peak areas. Sixty standards of sucralose in human urine were analysed in order to quantify analytical variation. RESULTS: The standard curve for urinary sucralose was linear from 25 to 500 mg/L (r>0.99). The limit of detection was 11 mg/L. Analytical recovery of sucralose at concentrations of 25, 50 and 100 mg/L was 101.5% (CV 7.59%), 102.9% (CV 5.82%) and 105.0% (CV 4.26%), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The technique described represents a simple assay for urinary sucralose which performed with acceptable accuracy and precision and should facilitate the use of the triple sugar test in clinical research.[1]
