An internal standard method has been developed for the determination of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and/or its metabolic precursor choline. This approach couples the high separation efficiency of capillary electrophoresis with the sensitivity and selectivity of electrochemical detection at an enzyme-modified electrode. Indirect electrochemical detection is accomplished at a 25 mum platinum electrode modified by cross-linking the enzymes choline oxidase and acetylcholinesterase with glutaraldehyde. Although in this simple form of electrode fabrication there is a gradual loss of response from the electrochemical detector with time, accurate quantitation is achieved by the addition of butyrylcholine, which is also a substrate for acetylcholinesterase, as an internal standard. A linear response is achieved between 0 and 125 muM with a limit of detection of 2 muM (25 fmol). The utility of this method was demonstrated by monitoring the kinetics of choline uptake in synaptosomal preparations. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
