Liquid chromatographic determination of homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and probenecid levels in human cerebrospinal fluid during probenecid test.

Homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, respectively the major metabolites of the central neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, are present in human lumbar cerebrospinal fluid, and their determination during the probenecid test is used to study brain monoamine abnormalities in man. We developed a high performance liquid chromatographic technique coupled with electrochemical detection which allows the simultaneous determination of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid on 10 microliter of human lumbar cerebrospinal fluid. Another liquid chromatographic technique coupled with ultra-violet detection was applied to the measurement of probenecid after injection of 10 microliter of native cerebrospinal fluid. The main advantages of these two techniques are their simplicity, sensitivity, rapidity (five cerebrospinal fluid samples are analysed within one hour) and their good day-to-day reproducibility . These methods were applied to probenecid tests performed in several neurological patients.

Direct concurrent measurement of urinary vanillylmandelic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid by HPLC. Three methodologies compared.

Three different direct HPLC methods for the determination of 3-methoxy-4-hydroxymandelic acid (VMA, vanillylmandelic acid), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylacetic acid (HVA, homovanillic acid) in urine were compared: two spectrofluorometric methods, applying discontinuous gradients, and one serial coulometric linear gradient method. The imprecision study (n = 6) revealed comparable coefficients of variation (CV), intra-assay ranging 1.4-11.1%, and inter-assay ranging 5.9-11.8% for physiological and moderately elevated levels of VMA, 5-HIAA and HVA. All methods showed good linearities up to 100 mumol/L for each of the three compounds studied. Analytical recoveries were 97-114% for VMA, 87-103% for 5-HIAA, and 80-95% for HVA. Recoveries were not dependent on urinary relative densities in the range 1.010-1.030 kg/L or on protein content (prior to acidification) in the range 0.1-3 g/L, or on the pH of conservation in the range 2-5 or on storage temperature in the range -20 - +22 degrees C for three weeks. The distributed-sample comparison revealed acceptable correlations and clinically unimportant accuracy differences between the methods. It is concluded that direct fluorometric and electrochemical HPLC methods can be used in the determination of major catecholamine and serotonin metabolites in human urine for clinical diagnosis and follow-up of neural crest and carcinoid tumours.

The effects of cyanide on the extracellular levels of dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and inositol phospholipid breakdown in the brain.

The effects of sodium cyanide on the extracellular levels of dopamine and the main brain metabolites of dopamine and 5-hydroxytryptamine were studied in awake, freely moving rats using microdialysis technique. Already 20 min after the administration of cyanide (2 mg/kg; ip) the extracellular level of striatal dopamine was increased and after 40 min an enhancement of the homovanillic acid level was observed. Slight but significant decreases of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid were also observed. The increased extracellular levels of dopamine and homovanillic acid could indicate an increased release of dopamine. An alternative explanation could be an extracellular leakage of dopamine due to neuronal damage caused by cyanide. Cyanide has also been reported to induce marked changes in cytosolic brain Ca2+. We examined the effect of cyanide on inositol phospholipid breakdown in rat cerebral cortex and pig striatum in vitro. This breakdown was not affected by sodium cyanide and appears therefore not to be responsible for the reported changes of cytosolic Ca2+ induced by sodium cyanide.

Long-term pharmacoclinical follow-up in schizophrenic patients treated with risperidone. Plasma and red blood cell concentrations of risperidone and its 9-hydroxymetabolite and their relationship to whole blood serotonin and tryptophan, plasma homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol and clinical evaluations.

The aim of the study was to establish a relationship between the clinical efficacy of risperidone (Risp), the biological levels of Risp and its metabolite, 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-Risp), and the turnover of blood biogenic amines during a long-term treatment (1 year). Risp is one of the newer atypical antipsychotic drugs with potent serotonin (5HT2), moderate D2 and real alpha 1-alpha 2 adrenoreceptor antagonistic effects. The study has been performed in an open setting and included 17 patients, but only 15 were followed-up from 3 to 12 months. Pharmacokinetic analyses were conducted at the same time as clinical evaluations, grading using the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale (PANSS), the Clinical Global Impressions (CGI), the Global Assessment of Functioning Scale (GAF), the Quality of Life Scale (QLS) and the Extrapyramidal Symptoms Rating Scale (ESRS) and the determinations of plasma and red blood cell (RBC) Risp and 9-OH-Risp, whole blood 5HT and tryptophan (Trp), plasma homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5HIAA) and dihydroxyphenylethyleneglycol (DHPG). The therapeutic drug monitoring needed oral Risp daily dose of 4.5 +/- 2.3 mg (range 2-8) and the stabilized concentrations (ng/ml) at endpoint in plasma and RBC were 10 +/- 8 (range 1-23) and 3.5 +/- 2 (range 1-8) for Risp and 29 +/- 19 (range 8-70) and 11.5 +/- 6.6 (range 2.6-22.5) for 9-OH-Risp, respectively. 9-OH-Risp appears to be the major active metabolite compound at higher concentrations than Risp. Positive linear correlations were found only between plasma and RBC 9-OH-Risp and the daily dose and the score of the GAF. Statistically significant clinical results showed that Risp is a potent antipsychotic agent efficacious both on positive and negative symptoms and on quality of life. Positive symptoms decreased after about the second month and the negative symptoms improved secondly. Patients (n = 8) who responded to Risp were characterized, on the long-term, by a statistically significant decrease of whole blood 5HT and increase of plasma DHPG.

D2 dopamine receptor genotype and cerebrospinal fluid homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol in alcoholics in Finland and the United States.

If a genetic association between the D2 dopamine receptor genotype and alcoholism is mediated by altered dopamine function, then a stronger association might be found in alcoholics who are deviant in indices of dopamine function and by comparing alcoholics to nonalcoholics matched for ethnic origin. Therefore, we evaluated the D2/TaqI polymorphism in 29 impulsive violent alcoholic Finns, 17 nonimpulsive violent alcoholic Finns and 36 Finnish controls free of mental disorders, alcoholism and substance abuse. In 37 of the alcoholics, we measured cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) homovanillic acid (HVA), 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylglycol. There was no relationship between D2/Taq 1 genotype and concentrations of these monoamine metabolites in this group, which exhibits lower CSF HVA and 5-HIAA as compared to controls. There was also no genotypic difference between Finnish alcoholics and nonalcoholic controls. The lack of relationship between D2/Taq1 genotype and HVA concentration was replicated in 24 Caucasian alcoholics in the United States.

Determination of homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and pressure in the cerebrospinal fluid of collie dogs following administration of ivermectin.

Twelve adult Collie dogs were studied to determine the effects of ivermectin on neurotransmitter metabolites released from the brain into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) and on CSF pressure. Ten of the 12 Collies were given ivermectin orally at a concentration of 200 micrograms/kg body weight. Three of these 10 Collies showed clinical signs of ivermectin-induced toxicosis which progressed into a state of unresponsive recumbency in 2 dogs. Cerebrospinal fluid pressures and neurotransmitter metabolite concentrations in cisterna magna CSF were analysed 49 to 50 hours after administration of ivermectin in 6 of the 10 treated dogs, and in the 2 untreated control Collies. Cerebrospinal fluid pressures were within normal limits in all dogs. However, compared to the CSF concentrations in the 2 untreated and 3 non-reactive Collies, the 2 ivermectin-reactive Collies still in recumbency had elevated CSF concentrations of homovanillic acid (HVA), a metabolite of dopamine, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), a metabolite of serotonin. These findings suggest an association between altered neurotransmission and severe ivermectin-induced neurological abnormalities. No evidence of elevated intracranial pressure was found.

Uniform chromatographic conditions for quantifying urinary catecholamines, metanephrines, vanillylmandelic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, by liquid chromatography, with electrochemical detection.

Uniform liquid-chromatographic conditions were developed such that we could quantify norepinephrine, epinephrine, normetanephrine, metanephrine, vanillylmandelic acid, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in urine by using a single mobile phase of monochloroacetic acid and citric acid, 0.1 mol/L each. All compounds were separated on a C18 column and detected electrochemically at a potential of +0.800 V. Optimization of these uniform chromatographic conditions significantly shortens the changeover time required from one assay to another, resulting in a substantial savings of time and cost to the laboratory.

Simultaneous analysis of homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol and vanilmandelic acid in plasma from alcoholics by high-performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection. Critical comparison of solid-phase and liquid-liquid extraction methods.

A method is described for the simultaneous determination of vanilmandelic acid, 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylene glycol, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid, and homovanillic acid in a human plasma sample using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with column switching and amperometric detection. Two methods of sample preparation were tested. Liquid-liquid extraction yields better recoveries, is more selective and precise than solid-phase extraction and allows a shorter time of chromatographic analysis. Estimated plasma values of the metabolites from healthy controls are in good agreement with previously reported levels. Studies of alcoholics at the beginning of the delirium tremens provided different plasma levels of the metabolites, dependent on the different duration--and hence the severity--of the delirium.

Use of alumina, sephadex G10, and ion-exchange columns to purify samples for determination of epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, homovanillic acid, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in urine.

We investigated the usefulness of small Sephadex columns, prepared in Pasteur pipettes, in purifying samples to be analyzed for catecholamines, homovanillic acid, and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid. After free catecholamines in urine samples were purified on alumina followed by Sephadex G10, a reliable and simultaneous quantification of epinephrine, norepinephrine, and dopamine was achieved by using high-performance liquid-chromatography with electrochemical detection. Purification of urine on Bio-Rad prepacked ion-exchange columns followed by Sephadex G10 resulted in a reliable, fast (200 samples processed per week) method for determination of free catecholamines in urine. Analytical recoveries of both methods were between 80 and 95%, with a CV of about 3%. Single purification on Sephadex G10 sufficed to allow simultaneous determination of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in urine. Analytical recovery for this method was about 90%, with a CV of about 5%. Sephadex G10 columns, which can be re-used without regeneration for at least one year, appear to have a great potential in clinical chemistry.

Correlation between high-performance liquid chromatography and automated fluorimetric methods for the determination of dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in nervous tissue and cerebrospinal fluid.

The correlation between automated fluorimetric methods and high-performance liquid chromatography is described for the determination of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in cerebrospinal fluid, and for dopamine, 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid in striata of rat brain. The automated fluorimetric methods for 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid and homovanillic acid showed a good correlation with the high-performance liquid chromatographic methodology. The fluorimetric determination for dopamine was somewhat less reliable than the high-performance liquid chromatographic assay. The fluorimetric assay for 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid correlated poorly with the chromatographic method.

Effect of folic acid by mouth on cerebrospinal fluid homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentration.

Administration of 30 mg folic acid by mouth caused a significant fall in cerebrospinal fluid homovanillic acid concentration in 11 subjects. There was no significant change of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentration. The fall was less marked in five patients on anticonvulsant medication and failed to reach statistical significance. Neither homovanillic acid nor 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid concentrations changed significantly when 15 mg folic acid was given in divided dosage for one, two, and four weeks. The effect appeared to be related to the height of serum-folate levels reached and to be independent of cerebrospinal fluid-folate levels, which did not change significantly. Possible mechanisms and their potential therapeutic application are discussed.

Bovine spastic paralysis: cerebrospinal fluid concentrations of homovanillic acid and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid in normal and spastic calves.

Homovanillic acid (HVA) and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) concentrations were determined in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) of 28 normal calves and 29 spastic calves. Concentrations of HVA were significantly (P less than 0.01) lower in spastic calves, whereas differences in 5-HIAA concentrations were not found between normal and spastic calves. These findings indicate that a lower dopaminergic metabolism takes place in the central nervous system (CNS) of spastic calves.
