摘要
Several inherited metabolic disorders, particularly the organic acidurias and acidemias, are often characterised by excretion of acylcarnitines, especially octanoylcarnitine, in the urine. Clinical investigation of such serious disorders ideally requires a rapid, simple and selective method for determining acylcarnitines in urine. Initial results are given here of a method that may approach this ideal. The procedure involves chemical derivatisation, in which the zwitterionic acylcarnitines are cyclised to volatile lactones, and analysis by gas chromatography and gas chromatography - mass spectrometry. Preparation of urine samples by ion-exchange purification and an illustrative application of the proposed method to a clinical sample are also outlined.
