Abstract:

In this investigation a new non-separative kinetic-spectroflourimetric method is proposed for the determination of lysine (lys), leucine (leu) and phenylalanine (phe) enantiomers as their o-phthaldialdehyde (OPA) derivatives in the presence of an optically active chiral thiol compound, 1-mercapto-2-propanol (MP). At ambient temperature and in the borate buffer media of pH 9.6, MP, OPA, as highly selective fluorogenic reagents, and amino acid (AA) enantiomers reacts with each other to yield two fluorescent diasteriomers of D and L-AA with maximum difference in fluorescence intensity at about 450 nm. To achieve information from the small spectral changes, the data are analyzed by Multivariate Curve Resolution Alternating Least Squares (MCR-ALS) method. Linear calibration curves are achieved to distinct D and L-lys, leu and phe in different mole ratios by applying appropriate constraints in MCR-ALS procedures. This is the first application of MCR-ALS in determination of enantiomeric excess (ee) using OPA/MP adduct as chiral reagent, which benefits from direct time dependent-fluorescence spectral analysis and does not require prior separation of chiral analytes. Both the cross-validated correlation coefficient (Q2) and root mean squares error of prediction (RMSEP) indicated satisfactory prediction ability of this method.
