Abstract

A method for the determination of hyaluronic acid (HA), chondroitin sulphate (CS) and dermatan sulphate (DS) was developed. HA, CS and DS were converted to the corresponding unsaturated disaccharides by digestion with chondroitinase ABC and/or chondroitinase AC-II and determined by high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorimetric detection using 2-cyanoacetamide as a post-column derivatization reagent. The calibration graphs for the unsaturated disaccharides were linear over the range 2 ng − 2 μg for each unsaturated disaccharide. This method was applied to the analysis of normal human urine.

    UA-GAGs show important biological and pharmacological activities [2] as they are involved in several physio-pathological processes such as cell-cell interaction, cellular communication, cell signaling and in the developmental biology of organisms [4–6]. Normal human urine mainly contains CS, about 85–90% of the total, HS in a percentage of about 10–15%, and trace amounts of HA and DS (and keratan sulfate that, however, has no uronic acid inside its polysaccharide structure) [7–10]. Thanks to easy access to this biological fluid and relatively simple to process, urinary UA-GAGs may serve as biomarkers for several diseases.

    Many reactions with 2-cynaoacetamide leading to fluorescent products are known, but the quantitative determination of 2-cynaoacetamide using separation methods with this type of derivatization reactions has not yet been published. The usefulness of 2-cyanoacetamide as a sensitive fluorogenic reagent for determination of reducing carbohydrates [5,6], catecholamines [7], uronic acids [8], aldoses [9], hexosamines [10], glycosaminoglycans (such as hyaluronic acid, chondroitin sulphate and dermatan sulphate) [11] and keratan sulfates [12] has been described. 2-Cyanoacetamide reacts with various classes carbohydrates in alkaline borate buffer at temperature of 100 °C to give highly intensive fluorescence products having various excitation and emission maxima [13].

    These methods were based on a two-steps modified Hantzsch synthesis, where formaldehyde produced by the on-line alkaline decomposition of the analytes (mycotoxins) at high temperatures (step 1) reacts with acetoacetate and ammonium forming fluorescent dihydropyridine derivatives (step 2). Honda introduced this reagent for the fluorimetric detection of reducing carbohydrates; the advantage of this reagent is its compatibility with borate buffer medium that is used in carbohydrate analyzers [164]. Continuing the research on this topic, the same researcher successfully utilized 2-cyanoacetamide in a PCD mode for the electrochemical detection of reducing carbohydrates [165].

    Lyase-generated disaccharides have a UV chromophore that allows detection with modest sensitivity. Efforts have therefore been made to improve sensitivity with fluorescence using reductive amination (19–22) or post-column fluorophore formation (23, 24). Methods that use radio (25) or optical detection systems have the advantage of simplicity but the disadvantage that standards are needed for every peak identified.
