Benefits of technology

This patented technology allows for accurate measurement of both citrates (Cit) and anions such as sulfate ion concentration in blood samples from subjects with stone disease like urolithiasis. It also helps diagnose certain conditions that are associated with these abnormalities more efficiently than other techniques based on chemicals alone.

Problems solved by technology

This patented technical problem addressed in this patents relates to detecting certain substances called caffeine or isoconjugated acid(CSA) which are present only when there's no significant difference between them due to their similarity. Existing techniques such as gas chromatography may fail to distinguish these compounds from each others, leading to incorrect results and potential mistaken treatment decisions.

Embodiment 1

[0048] Example 1 Derivatization of 2-picolylamine (PA)

[0049] Isocitrate and citric acid are endogenous substances of isomers ( figure 1 ), which all contain carboxylic acids. The inventors therefore initially attempted to derivatize the carboxyl group.

[0050] First, use pyridine amino groups to react with carboxyl groups: 2-picolylamine (PA) is a commonly used derivatization reagent for reaction with carboxyl groups, with short derivatization time and simple pretreatment.

[0051] Derivation steps and conditions: Take 20 μL of urine samples from patients with urinary calculi, add 20 μL of isotope-labeled citric acid, blow dry with nitrogen at 60°C, add 200 μL of 10 mM triphenylphosphine (TPP), 200 μL of 2,2'-dithiodi Pyridine (DPDS), 200 μL 1g / L 2-aminomethylpyridine (PA), vortex for 3 minutes, stand at 60°C for 30 minutes, then add 200 μL 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution at room temperature for detection.

Embodiment 2

[0057] Embodiment 2 Alcohol derivatization

[0058] In order to achieve the purpose of successfully separating citric acid and isocitric acid, the inventors tried a large number of new derivatives. Surprisingly, it has been found that derivatization with alcohols results in amplified differences in the hydroxyl positions of citric and isocitric acids.

[0059] Take n-butanol derivatization as an example:

[0060] Derivatization steps and conditions: Take 20 μL of urine sample, add 20 μL of isotope-labeled citric acid, oxalic acid and cystine internal standards, blow dry at 60°C with nitrogen, add 100 μL of 3mol / L hydrochloric acid n-butanol solution, vortex for 3 minutes, Shake at 60°C for 20 minutes, centrifuge for 3 minutes, blow dry at 60°C with nitrogen, add 100 μL of methanol to redissolve, and wait for detection.

[0061] Chromatographic column conditions: ACE Excel-2 C18-PFP column (100×2.1mm, 2.6μm), column temperature 35°C.

Embodiment 3

[0069] Example 3 Application of Separation of Citric Acid and Isocitric Acid in Diagnosis of Urinary Calculi

[0070] (1) Preparation of standard solution.

[0071] (1) Preparation of internal standard solution: Accurately weigh citric acid-D with an analytical balance 4 , the internal standard was dissolved in pure water, and the internal standard stock solution with a concentration of 10 mg / mL was prepared.

[0072] (2) Standard product preparation: citric acid and isocitric acid were accurately weighed with an analytical balance, and each standard product was prepared into standard product mother solutions with concentrations of 10 mg / mL and 50 mg / mL with pure water, respectively.

[0073] (3) Internal standard stock solution: absorb 100 μL of internal standard stock solution, dilute to 1 mL with pure water, and dilute into an internal standard stock solution.

[0074] (4) Standard stock solution: Pipette 500 μL and 300 μL of citric acid and isocitric acid standard mother...

Abstract

The invention discloses a derivative kit and method for separating a citric acid and an isocitric acid, and belongs to the field of chemical analysis. The kit comprises a derivatization reagent, the derivatization reagent is C3-C6 alcohols, namely methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, pentanol or hexanol, and further, the derivatization reagent is normal alcohol or isomeric alcohol. After the citric acid and the isocitric acid in a sample are derivatized by utilizing the kit disclosed by the invention, the separation of the citric acid and the isocitric acid is further realized by virtue of a liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry technology so that the subsequent analysis or detection is facilitated. By utilizing the kit and the method provided by the invention, the content of the citric acid can be accurately quantified by detecting a urine sample of a subject so that the accuracy and the sensitivity of urinary calculus diagnosis are improved, and the kit and the method have important clinical significance and a huge economic value.
