High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Method for Analysis of Tyramine
Tyramine is a naturally occurring compound derived from the amino acid tyrosine. It is found in various foods and beverages, especially aged or fermented products such as aged cheeses, cured meats, certain wines, and soy products. Tyramine can affect the release of norepinephrine, a neurotransmitter, and can influence blood pressure.
For people taking monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), consuming foods high in tyramine can cause a dangerous spike in blood pressure, known as a hypertensive crisis. This is why individuals on such medications are often advised to follow a low-tyramine diet.
Tyramine can be retained, and analyzed using a Primesep 100 mixed-mode stationary phase column. The analysis utilizes an isocratic method with a simple mobile phase consisting of water, acetonitrile (MeCN), and sulfuric acid as a buffer. Detection is achieved using UV at 275 nm

If you are looking for optimized HPLC method to analyze Tyramine check our HPLC Applications library
For optimal results in HPLC analysis, it is recommended to measure absorbance at a wavelength that matches the absorption maximum of the compound(s) being analyzed. The UV spectrum shown can assist in selecting an appropriate wavelength for your analysis. Please note that certain mobile phases and buffers may block wavelengths below 230 nm, rendering absorbance measurement at these wavelengths ineffective. If detection below 230 nm is required, it is recommended to use acetonitrile and water as low UV-transparent mobile phases, with phosphoric acid and its salts, sulfuric acid, and TFA as buffers.

Tyramine is a naturally occurring monoamine compound with the molecular formula C8H11NO. As a monoamine oxidase (MAO) substrate, it is broken down by the enzyme MAO in the body. It belongs to the class of biogenic amines. It is typically found in fermented, aged, smoked, and dried foods. It is derived from the amino acid tyrosine and is found in various foods. Tyramine is particularly known for its potential role in certain food sensitivities and interactions with monoamine oxidase inhibitors (MAOIs), a class of medications. It is a trace amine and has been studied for its potential physiological effects, including its role as a neurotransmitter and its impact on blood pressure regulation. Tyramine is notable for its interaction with MAOIs, a class of antidepressant medications. In individuals taking MAOIs, the consumption of foods high in tyramine can lead to a hypertensive crisis.

Separation of Tyramine on Newcrom R1 HPLC column
February 16, 2018
Tyramine can be analyzed by this reverse phase (RP) HPLC method with simple conditions. The mobile phase contains an acetonitrile (MeCN), water, and phosphoric acid. For Mass-Spec (MS) compatible applications the phosphoric acid needs to be replaced with formic acid. Smaller 3 µm particles columns available for fast UPLC applications. This liquid chromatography method is scalable and can be used for isolation impurities in preparative separation. It also suitable for pharmacokinetics.
Application Column
Newcrom R1
The Newcrom columns are a family of reverse-phase-based columns. Newcrom A, AH, B, and BH are all mixed-mode columns with either positive or negative ion-pairing groups attached to either short (25 Å) or long (100 Å) ligand chains. Newcrom R1 is a special reverse-phase column with low silanol activity.
