Separation of Xanthosine -5’-Monophopate and Guanosine -5’-Triphosphate

This Method achieves the separation of Nucleotides XMP from GTP. The analysis of these polar compounds is achieved at high concentration of an organic Solvent as part of the Mobile Phase which provides increased Sensitivity. Retention times were very Reproducible with %RSD approximately 0.4, even when Red Blood Cell extracts were injected in between the standard samples.

Notes: Among the most important purine nucleotides, XMP and GTP are often analyzed from the lymphocytes of healthy people and HIV-1 seropositive patients at different stages of the disease (ARC-AIDS). Several differences in metabolism of Purine Nucleotides in the  lymphocytes of the AIDS patients, were observed [2]. XMP does not normally appear in free nucleotide cell extracts, however it is the product of the important cell differentiation Enzyme IMP Dehydrogenase in Ribavirin Therapies.
