title: Measurement of the release of adenine nucleotides during platelet aggregation by small-bore-column isocratic high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: This paper describes a simple and sensitive method for measuring adenosine, adenosine monophosphate, adenosine diphosphate, and adenosine triphosphate in plasma and tissues. This method involves sample preparation by perchloric acid extraction, followed by high-performance liquid chromatography on a small-bore column with UV detection at 254 nm. The minimum detectable amounts were adenosine, 0.60 pmol; adenosine monophosphate, 0.90 pmol; adenosine diphosphate, 1.5 pmol; and adenosine triphosphate, 2.5 pmol. The interassay coefficient of variation for the measurement of these compounds was less than 4%. The influence of varying the pH and the concentration of phosphate, acetonitrile, and ion-pairing reagent are described. This method can be used to measure adenine nucleotide release during platelet aggregation.
