Purification of 125I-labeled succinyl cyclic nucleotide tyrosine methyl esters by high-performance liquid chromatography.
Carrier free 125I-labeled succinyl cyclic adenosine monophosphate (ScAMP) and succinyl cyclic guanosine monophosphate (ScGMP) tyrosine methyl esters (TME) were purified by reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) or descending paper chromatography. Using an isocratic buffer for HPLC, mono-ScAMP-125I-TME and mono-ScGMP-125I-TME were eluted from a C18 column at 8.9 and 6.9 min, respectively. Both of the mono-iodinated radioligands were completely separated from their noniodinated precursors and other iodinated products. The radioligands purified by HPLC or paper chromatography were used for the radioimmunoassay (RIA) of cAMP and cGMP. Cyclic AMP or cGMP inhibited binding of the HPLC purified radioligands at three- to fivefold lower concentrations than the paper chromatography purified radioligands. The sensitivity of the RIA decreased with time if paper chromatography purified radioligands were used, but remained stable for 4 months if the HPLC purified compounds were used, even with storage at 4 degrees C. We attribute these results to better purification of radioligands by the HPLC than by the paper chromatography. Using optimal conditions the HPLC method takes only 10 min and results in a high yield (greater than 95%) of added 125I into the monoiodinated products.
