In this paper a high-performance liquid chromatographic(HPLC) method has been developed to determine the concentration of tryptophan(Trp) in human serum. Serum sample was precipitated with trichloroacetic acid solution(0.6 mol.L-1) to remove protein and centrifuged and assayed by HPLC. The operating conditions were NOVA-PAK C18 column(3.9 mm x 150 mm), KH2PO4(0.1 mol.L-1) mobile phase with flow rate of 0.7 ml.min-1, and detective wave-length at 295 nm. The linear range was 1.223-2447.381 mumol.L-1. The detection limit was 0.612 mumol.L-1. The average recovery was 96.3%. Intra-assay CV is less than 4% and inter-assay less than 5%. The concentration of Trp in normal adult serum was 46.603 +/- 5.108 mumol.L-1. The detection time of serum Trp was within 5 min. The results suggest that this method is simple, fast, accurate, and convenient.

D014364 Tryptophan An essential amino acid that is necessary for normal growth in infants and for NITROGEN balance in adults. It is a precursor of INDOLE ALKALOIDS in plants. It is a precursor of SEROTONIN (hence its use as an antidepressant and sleep aid). It can be a precursor to NIACIN, albeit inefficiently, in mammals.
