title: Retention behavior of conjugated metabolites of vitamin D and related compounds in high-performance liquid chromatography.
abstract: The retention behavior of sulfates or glucuronides of provitamin D, vitamin D, and 25-hydroxyvitamin D3, together with its fluorescent derivatives, are examined with reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography. Inclusion chromatography using cyclodextrin as a mobile-phase additive is also used for this purpose. Conventional reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography clearly separates the positionally isomeric conjugates of 25-hydroxyvitamin D3. The addition of the host compound to the mobile phase is effective in separating the pairs of fluorescent derivatives of vitamin-D3 and -D2 conjugates or provitamin-D3 and -D2 conjugates.
