Abstract

A new, sensitive method for the determination of oncopterin, biopterin, and neopterin in human urine has been developed using SPE with 6,7‐dimethylpterin as internal standard and gradient HPLC with fluorescence detection. SPE was tested for the pre‐treatment of urine samples on different types of sorbents (strong ion exchange resins, polar adsorbents, and reversed‐phase sorbents). RP‐SPE with subsequent evaporation of eluate has been found to be the most appropriate. The extraction efficiency exceeded 95% for all selected pterins. The extracted pterins were subsequently analyzed on a Purospher RP‐18 RP column. The LOD of oncopterin was 1.43 nmol/L of urine. The intra‐day and inter‐day imprecision at a physiological oncopterin concentration never exceeded 10%. The potential of this method was tested using urine samples of healthy volunteers and cancer patients without methotrexate therapy.
