Methods are described for the fluorometric determination of plasma adenosine concentrations, using HPLC. Plasma obtained from blood of dogs treated with erythro-(2-hydroxy-3-nonyl)adenine hydrochloride and dipyridamole was deproteinized with perchloric acid and the neutralized sample was put sequentially onto a SepPak C18 and boronic acid affinity column. Subsequently, adenosine in the final elution was converted to 1,N6-ethenoadenosine and was quantitated by HPLC with a fluorescence detector. The percentage recovery of adenosine added to the deproteinized plasma was nearly 100%. In the adenosine deaminase treated plasma, the increase in adenosine concentration of even 4 nM can be accurately determined. The control renal venous plasma concentrations of adenosine in anesthetized dogs were 19.9 +/- 1.9 nM, a significantly higher value than the corresponding arterial concentrations (12.7 +/- 1.1 nM), thereby suggesting the renal release of adenosine. This release was markedly enhanced following the removal of the renal arterial occlusion. Thus, taken together with the in vivo results, the present method is sensitive, hence most useful for the determination of plasma adenosine concentrations.
