A one-step NIST traceable HPLC method for quantitation of vitamin B6 and 4-pyridoxic acid in human plasma

Xiaochun Zhang, Xiaoying Tang, Thomas M. Daly · 2020 · Practical Laboratory Medicine

Objectives: Vitamin B6 deficiency is associated with a wide spectrum of clinical syndromes. While vitamin B6 status is primarily assessed by measuring the biologically active form of the vitamin, pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP), concurrent measurement of the final metabolite 4-pyridoxic acid (PA) can provide additional information regarding supplement intake and hypophosphatasia. The aim of this study is to develop a simple method traceable to the NIST standard reference material 3950 for simultaneous detection of PLP and PA. Design & methods: A one-step reverse phase HPLC method with fluorescence
