Rapid analysis for methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) by reversed-phase ion-pair liquid chromatography

DL Gildersleeve, MC Tobes and RB Natale

We describe a "high-performance" reversed-phase ion-pair liquid- chromatographic procedure for measuring methylglyoxal bis(guanylhydrazone) (MGBG) in plasma, urine, and bone-marrow leukocytes. Specimens of plasma and bone-marrow leukocytes are deproteinized with perchloric acid, then neutralized with KOH. Urinary MGBG is isolated by liquid-solid extraction in a C18 Sep-Pak. The chromatographic system consists of a 45 X 4.6 mm (i.d.) octadecylsilyl (C18, 5-microns particle) column and a mobile phase consisting of methanol/sodium acetate buffer (200 mmol/L, pH 4.5), 2/3, by vol. The acetate buffer also contains 20 mmol of 1-octanesulfonate and 40 mg of sodium azide per liter. The column effluent is monitored at 283 nm. At a flow rate of 3.0 mL/min, MGBG is eluted in 1.67 min. The detection limit is 20 nmol/L, and peak height varies linearly with concentration from 0.02 to 40 mumol/L. Analytical recovery exceeds 99%. Within-day CVs ranged from 0.9% to 2.9%, between-day CVs from 4.2% to 6.2%.
