Abstract
Pipecolic acid (PA) is an important biochemical marker for the diagnosis of peroxisomal disorders. PA is also a factor responsible for hepatic encephalopathy and a possible biomarker for pyridoxine-dependent seizures. We developed an easy and rapid PA quantification method, by high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS), requiring no derivatization and applicable to small sample volumes. Plasma (100 μl) is extracted with 500 μl acetonitrile (ACN) containing 2 μmol/l [(2)H5]-phenylalanine as internal standard, vortexed and centrifuged. The supernatant is analyzed by HPLC-MS/MS in positive-ion mode using multiple reaction monitoring scan type. HPLC column is a Luna HILIC (150×3.0mm; 3 μ 200A): Buffer A: ammonium formate 5 mmol/l; Buffer B: ACN/H20 90:10 containing ammonium formate 5 mmol/l. PA retention time is 4.86 min. Recovery was 93.8%, linearity was assessed between 0.05 and 50 μmol/l (R(2)=0.998), lower limit of detection was 0.010 μmol/l and lower limit of quantification was 0.050 μmol/l. Coefficient of variation was 3.2% intra-assay and 3.4% inter-assay, respectively. Clinical validation was obtained by comparing PA plasma values from 5 patients affected by peroxisomal disorders (mean, 23.38 μmol/l; range, 11.20-37.1 μmol/l) to 24 ages related healthy subjects (mean, 1.711 μmol/l; range, 0.517-3.580 μmol/l).

Abstract
Abstract
Background: l-Pipecolic acid (L-PA), an important biochemical marker for the diagnosis of peroxisomal disorders, is usually determined as the racemate. We developed a chiral liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the analysis of L-PA in plasma.
Methods: We used a narrow bore chiral macrocyclic glycopeptide teicoplanin column for the enantioseparation of d-pipecolic acid (D-PA) and L-PA and interfaced the column directly to the electrospray source of a tandem mass spectrometer. We used phenylalanine-d5 as internal standard added to 50 μL of plasma followed by deproteinization, evaporation, and injection. The analysis was performed in the selected-reaction monitoring mode using two transitions: m/z 130→m/z 84 for PA, and m/z 171→m/z 125 for phenylalanine-d5. L-PA eluted at 7 min, and D-PA eluted at 11.7 min, whereas phenylalanine-d5 eluted at 6 min. The turnaround time for the assay was 20 min.
Results: Linear calibration curves were obtained in the range of 0.5–80 μmol/L. At a plasma concentration of 1.0 μmol/L, the signal-to-noise ratio was 50:1. The intra- and interassay variations were 3.1–7.9% and 5.7–13%, respectively, at concentrations of 1–50 μmol/L. Mean recoveries of L-PA added to plasma were 95% (5 μmol/L) and 102% (50 μmol/L). The method clearly distinguished between healthy individuals and peroxisomal disease patients.
Conclusions: The novel LC-MS/MS method is simple, rapid, and stereoselective, and uses only 50 μL of plasma, no derivatizing reagents, and a commercially available internal standard. Sample preparation is not complex and is faster than for all other methods.

Abstract
A high-performance liquid chromatography method for the simultaneous determination of pipecolic acid (Pip) and lysine (Lys), a precursor of Pip, in the rumen liquor and plasma of ruminant animals was established. Samples of rumen liquor and plasma were deproteinized with 50% acetonitrile and derivatized with a fluorescent agent 9-fluorenylmethyloxy carbonyl chloride (Fmoc-Cl). Chromatographic separation was achieved on a TSK gel ODS-80TM column using a reversed-phase gradient elution system. For the gradient elution, two mobile phases, A and B, were needed, both commonly consisted of: 5 mM L-proline, 2.5 mM cupric sulfate and 6.5 mM ammonium acetate. Mobile phase B additionally contains 50% (v/v) acetonitrile. The pH of both mobile phases was adjusted to 7.0. Derivatized Pip and Lys were detected on a fluorescent detector at excitation and emission wavelengths of 260 and 313 nm, respectively. The calibration curves were linear within the range 0 to 1 mM (r>0.999). The average recoveries for Pip and Lys were 95.9+/-1.8 and 93.2+/-2.5% in rumen liquor and 98.3+/-1.4 and 97.5+/-1.3% in plasma, respectively. The limits of detection for Pip and Lys were 0.6 and 0.7 microM in rumen liquor and 0.01 and 0.05 microM in plasma. The assay has acceptable precision, relative standard deviation (RSD) for reproducibility (within-day and day-to-day variation) were less than 5.2% for aqueous (5.0 microM Pip and Lys), MB9 (5.0 microM Pip and Lys), plasma (7.1 microM Pip and 85.6 microM Lys) and rumen liquor (28.4 microM Pip and 10.2 microM Lys) samples. The levels of Pip and Lys in faunated goats, determined from three animals over a period of two days sampling, were found to be 36.8+/-18.1 and 14.6+/-2.8 microM in rumen liquor, and 7.3+/-2.5 and 137.3+/-38.0 microM in plasma at 1 h after feeding. This is the first report on the normal levels of Pip in the rumen liquor and plasma of faunated goat.

Abstract
A sensitive and accurate stable isotope dilution assay was developed for the measurement of pipecolic acid in body fluids using capillary gas chromatography with electron-capture detection. The method utilizes [2H11]pipecolic acid as the internal standard. Sample preparation consisted of derivatization in aqueous solution (pH 11.5) of the amine moiety with methyl chloroformate to the N-methylcarbamate, followed by acidic ethyl acetate extraction at pH less than or equal to 2 and further derivatization of the carboxyl moiety with pentafluorobenzyl bromide, the excess of which was removed by solid-phase extraction. Control values have been determined in the plasma of at-term infants, age greater than 1 week (n = 21, mean = 1.36 microM, range = 0.47-3.27 microM). The utility of the method was demonstrated by quantitating pipecolic acid in biological fluids derived from patients with peroxisomal disorders. The method was validated against an established electron-capture negative ion mass fragmentographic technique.
