Norepinephrine

Four neurotransmitters - pseudoephedrine, norephedrine, phenylephrine and norphenylephrine - were separated in hydrogen-bonding and cation-exchange mode. Pseudoephedrine is sympathomimetic drug used either as a single ingredient or part of the composition of OTC or Rx medications. Phenylephrine is a hydrophilic basic drug which is used as decongestant in OTC medication composition, such as Sudafed, Benadryl, Advil, Nyquil, etc. Norphenylephrine is an adrenergic agent used as sympathomimetic drug. Norephedrine is naturally occurring endogenous trace amine that plays a role as neurotransmitter in the brain, and is used as decongestant in many OTC compositions as well as an appetite suppressant. All four drugs are hydrophilic and basic in nature, and have no retention on traditional reversed-phase column without an ion-pairing reagent. Method provides an efficient and robust separation for all drugs. The method can be used in analysis of neurotransmitters in biofluids and other sample matrices. The method is compatible with all detection techniques: MS, RI, UV, ELSD and CAD.

Catecholamines (neurotransmitters) are derivatives of the amino acid tyrosine. DOPA, tyrosine, phenylalanine, norepinephrine, epinephrine, and dopamine. Fast and efficient method with base-line separation was achieved on Coresep 100 column. All compounds are separated by combination of reversed-phase and cation-exchange mechanisms. Peak order and retention time can be changed by switching from TFA to ammonium formate in the mobile phase, by adjusting mobile phase composition and by changing pH. The method is fully compatible with mass spectroscopy and can be used for fast analysis of neurotransmitters in biofluids. regular. Method can be used a replacement for analysis of neurotransmitters by UPLC with ion-pairing reagents.
