Simple and sensitive quantitation method for mevalonic acid in plasma using gas chromatography/ mass spectrometry.

The combination of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry using a polar capillary column and isobutane chemical ionization made it possible to determine mevalonic acid (MVA) as the lactone at subnanogram levels using 1 mL of plasma. The pretreatment procedure consisted of only three steps, namely lactonization, washing with chloroform and liquid/liquid extraction. This simple, rapid and sensitive method, having good precision and accuracy, is useful for evaluating the change of plasma MVA, which is well correlated with whole-body cholesterol biosynthesis.[1]
