HPLC Separation of β‑Hydroxy-β-methylbutyric Acid and 2-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid_1182

 High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of β‑Hydroxy-β-methylbutyric Acid (HMB), 2-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid (HICA) 

Both β-hydroxy-β-methylbutyric acid (HMB) and 2-hydroxyisocaproic acid (HICA) are metabolites of the
essential dietary branched chain amino acid leucine.

β‑Hydroxy-β-methylbutyric Acid (HMB), 2-Hydroxyisocaproic Acid (HICA) can be retained and analyzed using the Primesep 100 stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water and acetonitrile (MeCN) with a Sulfuric Acid buffer. Detection is performed using UV.

 

Condition

Column Primesep 100
Mobile Phase MeCN – 5%
Buffer H2SO4 – 0.05 %
Flow Rate 1.0 ml/min
Detection UV, 210 nm

HPLC Determination of β‑Hydroxy-β-methylbutyric Acid

High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of β‑Hydroxy-β-methylbutyric Acid (HMB) 

Beta-Hydroxy beta-Methylbutyric acid (HMB) is used as an over-the-counter dietary supplement, which has been shown to increase lean body mass and muscle size. Another use for it is in to promote wound healing and to prevent the loss of muscle in individuals suffering from age-related muscle loss. HMB can be retained on a Primesep B mixed-mode column in in 3 minutes using low Acetonitrile (ACN) concentration in the mobile phase (10%) with 0.2% Phosphoric acid buffer. UV detection 200nm.
