A reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the determination of alpha-tocopherol in plasma or erythrocytes with photodiode-array detection is described. Using this detector, information about the spectrum, absorption maxima and purity of the peak is obtained. Tocopherol was separated on a 5-microns Spherisorb ODS-2 column with methanol as element at a flow-rate of 1.0 ml/min. As little as 100 microliters of plasma or 150 microliters of erythrocytes can be used for accurate analysis with direct extraction without saponification. The speed, specificity, sensitivity and reproducibility of this technique make it particularly suitable for the routine determination of alpha-tocopherol in plasma or erythrocytes.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D014810 Vitamin E A generic descriptor for all TOCOPHEROLS and TOCOTRIENOLS that exhibit ALPHA-TOCOPHEROL activity. By virtue of the phenolic hydrogen on the 2H-1-benzopyran-6-ol nucleus, these compounds exhibit varying degree of antioxidant activity, depending on the site and number of methyl groups and the type of ISOPRENOIDS.
