    Abstract:
    The design, synthesis and properties of a new derivatizing reagent, 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-8-phenyl-(4-iodoacetamido)difluoroboradiaza-s-indacene (TMPAB-I), for thiol groups are presented. Using the derivatization of TMPAB-I with thiols, a new high-performance liquid chromatographic method for measuring low-molecular-weight thiol-containing compounds, including coenzyme A (CoA), glutathione, N-acetylcysteine, cysteine, homocysteine (HCys) and 6-mercaptopurine has been developed. The reaction of TMPAB-I with thiols is specific, fast and stable for both TMPAB-I and the derivatives. A baseline separation of all the six derivatives is achieved by isocratic elution on reversed-phase column within 20 min with detection wavelengths of 500 and 510 nm for the excitation and emission, respectively, and the limits of detection (signal-to-noise ratio=3) are from 1.8 fmol (CoA) to 14.0 fmol (HCys), respectively, per 20 microL injection. The utility of the proposed method has been validated by measuring thiol-containing compounds in human plasma samples from healthy persons and patients with hypertension, with recoveries of 94.2-106.8%.
