Determination of uric acid by an anion-exchange column chromatography. 1987

D S Hsu, and S S Chen

A column chromatography using a conventional anion-exchange resin for the separation of uric acid from other purine metabolites is described. It uses a HCl gradient, and the amount of uric acid is quantified directly by monitoring the absorbance of the effluent at 285 nm. The linear range of response is 0.5 to 100 nmol. The method was applied to the analysis of uric acid in urine and serum. Urine was injected directly into the system, while serum required removal of an interfering substance which absorbs the light and coelutes with uric acid. However, this substance was simply removed by heat coagulation of serum by heating in a boiling water bath for 2 min.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D002852	Chromatography, Ion Exchange	Separation technique in which the stationary phase consists of ion exchange resins. The resins contain loosely held small ions that easily exchange places with other small ions of like charge present in solutions washed over the resins.

D014503	Urate Oxidase	An enzyme that catalyzes the conversion of urate and unidentified products. It is a copper protein. The initial products decompose to form allantoin. EC 1.7.3.3.	Uricase,Oxidase, Urate
D014527	Uric Acid	An oxidation product, via XANTHINE OXIDASE, of oxypurines such as XANTHINE and HYPOXANTHINE. It is the final oxidation product of purine catabolism in humans and primates, whereas in most other mammals URATE OXIDASE further oxidizes it to ALLANTOIN.	2,6,8-Trihydroxypurine,Ammonium Acid Urate,Monosodium Urate,Monosodium Urate Monohydrate,Potassium Urate,Sodium Acid Urate,Sodium Acid Urate Monohydrate,Sodium Urate,Sodium Urate Monohydrate,Trioxopurine,Urate,Acid Urate, Ammonium,Acid Urate, Sodium,Acid, Uric,Monohydrate, Monosodium Urate,Monohydrate, Sodium Urate,Urate Monohydrate, Monosodium,Urate Monohydrate, Sodium,Urate, Ammonium Acid,Urate, Monosodium,Urate, Potassium,Urate, Sodium,Urate, Sodium Acid
