Abstract: | A high-pressure liquid chromatographic procedure for the selective determination of adenosine in the presence of other nucleic acid components is reported. Reversed-phase microparticle columns and an isocratic elution mode of dilute potassium dihydrophosphate and anhydrous methanol were used. The analysis is specific for adenosine and is achieved in less than 10 min. An example of the use of this analysis in a biomedical study is reported. |
