title: Detection and quantitative determination of 3-nitropropionic acid in bovine urine.
abstract: The separation and determination of 3-nitropropionic acid (NPA) in bovine urine by reverse-phase HPLC is described. The method utilizes a rapid ethyl acetate extraction and this clean-up step also improves the chromatographic resolution of NPA in bovine plasma. A simple colorimetric method is also developed for the rapid detection and estimation of NPA in urine and the data indicate that it is in good agreement with the HPLC procedure.
