title: Separation of N1- and N8-acetylspermidine isomers by reversed-phase column liquid chromatography after derivatization with dansyl chloride.
abstract: The separation of dansyl derivatives of N1- and N8-acetylspermidine by reversed-phase column liquid chromatography is reported. The influence of organic solvents on the retention of acetylspermidines was studied. Best resolutions were achieved using a C18 column and a ternary mobile phase composed of water, methanol and acetonitrile. The precolumn derivatization method permitted the detection of picomole quantities. A method for the determination of acetylspermidines in rat tissues is described.
