Simultaneous determination of neopterin and creatinine in serum with solid-phase extraction and on-line elution liquid chromatography

This is a method for the simultaneous determination of neopterin, a product of interferon-gamma-activated macrophages, and creatinine in serum. Acidified, but not deproteinized serum is applied to a 4- propylbenzene sulfonic acid-modified silica sorbent cartridge, which quantitatively retains the analytes but not the serum proteins. The retained analytes are then eluted from the cartridge directly onto the liquid-chromatography column. Elution from the cartridge is facilitated by a pulse of 0.4 mol/L, pH 6.8 potassium phosphate buffer. On isocratic elution from an octadecylsilica column with potassium phosphate buffer (15 mmol/L, pH 6.0), neopterin is detected by its native fluorescence, creatinine by ultraviolet absorption. Detection limits are 0.5 nmol/L for neopterin, 1 mumol/L for creatinine at a sample volume of 100 microL. The standard curve is linear over the range of concentrations encountered in sera. For both neopterin and creatinine in serum, concentrations so measured agree well with results by established methods.
