摘要：Separation of five glycerophospholipids having different polar groups, phosphatidylcholine (PC), phosphatidylethanolamine (PE), phosphatidylserine (PS), phosphatidylglycerol (PG) and cardiolipin (CL), was investigated by means of solid-phase extraction (SPE) cartridges. First, the phospholipids were retained in an aminopropylbonded phase (NH2) cartridge and subsequently eluted as neutral (PC and PE) and acidic (PS, PG and CL) glycerophospholipid fractions. Secondly, a combination of silica gel (SI) cartridge and NH2 cartridge was employed to separate five glycerophospholipids. The polarity of the eluent was responsible for neutral glycerophospholipid separation. Concerning acidic glycerophospholipids, the separation of PG and CL from PS depended mainly on the pH of the eluents, and the separation of PG and CL was affected by the solvent, depending on eluent polarities. Favorable recovery (not less than 95%, for five authentic phospholipids, 10-100 μg each) and repeatability (σ=2.3 for 10 μg ranges) were attained by the present method. This method of separation was applicable to the analysis of phospholipids in biological samples.
