title: Determination of amygdalin and its major metabolite prunasin in plasma and urine by high pressure liquid chromatography.
abstract: A method is described for the determination of amygdalin and prunasin in plasma ultrafiltrate and urine. Both compounds are separated by high pressure liquid chromatography on a reversed phase column and subsequently detected at 215 nm. The identity of an amygdalin metabolite with prunasin was confirmed by mass spectrometry.
