Phenylalanine is an essential amino acid and its metabolites relate to various physiological and immune functions of living organisms. To monitor the alteration of concentration of primary and secondary phenethylamines including N-methyltyramine, octopamine, tyramine, tyrosine and phenylalanine in the metabolic pathway of phenylalanine, a sensitive and selective reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method has been developed in this study. The identification and quantification of phenethylamines were performed by fluorescent detection after pre-column derivatization with 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-(N-hydroxysuccinimidyl butyric ester)difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene, an excellent fluorescent probe which could react with both primary and secondary amino groups simultaneously. The derivatization was carried out at 25 degrees C for 25 min, and the separation was performed on a C18 column within 20 min. The linear ranges were from 2.0 to 100 nM for phenylalanine and tyramine to 5.0 to 250 for tyrosine and octopamine, with the detection limits of 0.1 nM for octopamine, tyramine, tyrosine and phenylalanine and 0.2 nM for N-methyltyramine (signal-to-noise ratio = 3), which allowed for the sure determination of phenethylamines at trace levels in the real samples without complex pretreatment or enrichment during multitudinous samples analysis. The proposed method has been validated by the analysis of the five target compounds in biological samples with spiked recoveries of 96.4-104.4% and the relative standard deviation of 1.0 and 4.4%.
