Abstract
In this paper, a new method for separation, identification and quantitation of iodotyrosines and iodothyronines [3-monoiodo-L-tyrosine (MIT), 3,5-diiodo-L-tyrosine (DIT), L-thyronine (T0), 3,5-diiodo-L-thyronine (T2), 3,5,3′-triiodo-L-thyronine (T3) and 3,3′,5,5′-tetraiodo-L-thyronine (T4)] was described by using capillary electrophoresis with photodiode-array ultraviolet-visible detection (CE-UV). The certain influence factors were systematically investigated, including the type, concentration and pH of buffer, and additive. We found that 10 mM sodium borate running buffer (pH 8.5) containing 0.10 mM β-CD as additive reagent allowed the best instrumental conditions for the optimum separation of the iodotyrosines and iodothyronines. Under optimized conditions, the analytical time was within 6 min, using an uncoated fused-silica capillary of 75 μm inner diameter with an effective length of 30 cm. The reproducibility of the migration time and peak area was less than 0.6% and 6.8%, respectively. A linear range from 10-1000 μg/mL and low limits of detection from 1.3-3.4 μg/mL were obtained at the detection wavelength of 280 nm. Our preliminary results show that the method is well suitable for determination of the hydrolysate of iodinated casein.
