HPLC Method for Analysis of 1,5-Diaminopentane (Cadaverine), 1,3-Diaminopropane, 1,4-Diaminobutane (Putrescine) on Primesep 200 by SIELC Technologies
Separation type: Liquid Chromatography Mixed-mode

1,3-Diaminopropane, or trimethylenediamine, is a diamine with the chemical formula C3H10N2. It is the key heterocycle building block and precursor of the chemotherapy antineoplastic agents Prioxantrone and Losoxantrone. You can find detailed UV spectra of 1,3-Diaminopropane and information about its various lambda maxima by visiting the following link.
1,4-Diaminobutane, or Putrescine, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C4H12N2. It is one of the main sources of the foul odor of rotting flesh. On the industrial scale, it is produced by the hydrogenation of succinonitrile as it has found use as a building block of Nylon 46. It has been proposed to be used as a biochemical marker for determination of how long a corpse has been decomposing.

1,5-Diaminopentane, or Cadaverine, is an organic compound with the chemical formula C5H14N2. It is a source of the foul odor of rotting flesh and since its produced by the decarboxylation of lysine, can be used as a biomarker for lysine metabolic deficiencies.

These (putrid) diamines can be retained, analyzed, and separated on a Primesep 200 column using an isocratic analytical method with a simple mobile phase of water, Acetonitrile (MeCN), and an Ammonium formate (AmFm) ionic modifier. This analysis method can be detected with an Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (ELSD) or any other evaporative detection method (CAD, ESI-MS).
