Chromatographic separation of glycated peptide isomers derived from glucose and fructose.

ABSTRACT: Amino groups in proteins can react with aldehyde groups in aldoses or keto groups in ketoses, e.g., D-glucose and D-fructose, yielding Schiff bases that rearrange to more stable Amadori and Heyns products, respectively. Analytical strategies to identify and quantify each glycation product in the presence of the corresponding isomer are challenged by similar physicochemical properties, impeding chromatographic separations, and by identical masses including very similar fragmentation patterns in tandem mass spectrometry. Thus, we studied the separation of seven peptide families, each consisting of unmodified, glucated, and fructated 15mer to 22mer peptides using reversed-phase (RP) and hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC). In RP-HPLC using acidic acetonitrile gradients, unglycated
