title: Determination of mimosine and 3-hydroxy-4(1h)-pyridone in Leucaena, avian excreta and serum using reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: The estimation of mimosine and 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridone in Leucaena leucocephala, Leucaena seeds, chick excreta and chick serum using reversed-phase ion-pair high-performance liquid chromatography was investigated. Isocratic elution of both compounds was achieved in 11 min using sodium octyl sulphate as the pairing agent in a pH 2.25 buffer. Good recoveries of both mimosine and 3-hydroxy-4(1H)-pyridone in all but serum samples were obtained.
