기체 크로마토그래피-전자포획검출기 (gas chromatograph-electron capture detector : GC-ECD)를 이용하여 사람의 혈액 내에 존재하는 homocysteine (Hcy), 관련 화합물인 cysteine (Cys)과 methionine (Met)에 대해 선택적이고 감도 좋은 분석방법에 대하여 연구하였다. 시료는 혈장 내에서 환원과정을 거친 후 ethyl chloroformate (ECF)와 pentafluoropropyl alcohol (PEP-OH) 유도체화 시약을 사용하여 N(O,S)-ethylearhonyl pentafluoropropyl (PEP) ester 유도체를 만들어 추출의 효율을 높이면서 동시에 GC-ECD에 대한 크로마토그래피 성질을 향상시켰다. 생성된 유도체들은 chloroform으로 추출한 후 잔류물을 완전히 건조시키고 hexane으로 추출하여 GC-ECD로 분석하였다.

A selective and sensitive method for the derivatization of total homocysteine (Hcy) and the related compounds in plasma by gas chromatograph (GC)-electron capture detector (ECD) has been developed. To determine total homocysteine, cysteine (Cys), and methionine (Met) in human plasma using GC-ECD, analytes were reduced and converted into their N(O,S)-ethylearbonyl pentafluoropropyl (PFP) ester by derivatization with ethyl chloroformate and pentafluoropropyl alcohol (PFP-OH) in plasma. The best derivatizing agent N(O,S)-ethyl carbonyl PFP ester, was chosen by comparing the sensitivity of derivatized analysis in GC-ECD. The derivatized analytes in plasma were extracted by chloroform, and subsequently back-extracted with hexane and analyzed by GC-ECD. The calibration carves (
