    Abstract:
    We previously described the only satisfactory procedure yet achieved for separating uric acid and allantoin from rat liver. The procedure was based on trichloroacetic acid (TCA) extraction, acid hydrolysis, treatment with Hg-acetate, and cation- and anion-exchange chromatography. After separation, allantoin was quantified by a colorimetric method, and uric acid enzymatically using uricase. Since this procedure is too time-consuming, we propose an improved version which avoids the need for anion-exchange chromatography and the complex assay of catabolic compounds. The new method consists of a very fast and simple HPLC separation and direct determination of uric acid and allantoin at 220 nm. The method can be used for fresh tissue or after treatment of the tissue with labeled precursor.
