Biologically active low-molecular-mass thiols, mainly including glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteinylglycine (Cys-Gly), are important physiological components in biological fluids, and their analytical methods have gained continuous attention over recent years. We developed and validated a novel HPLC method for the quantification of GSH, Cys, Hcy, and Cys-Gly in human plasma, urine, and saliva using 4-chloro-3,5-dinitrobenzotrifluoride as the derivatization reagent. Analyses were linear from 0.15 to 500 μM with the coefficient regression range of 0.9987-0.9994. Detection limits ranged from 0.04 to 0.08 μM (S/N=3). The developed method was applied to quantification of four thiols in human biological fluids collected from five donors with the concentration range of 2.50-124.25 μM, 0-72.81 μM, and 0-4.25 μM for plasma, urine, and saliva, respectively. The present method seemed to be an attractive choice for the determination of thiols in plasma, urine, and saliva.
