“…The suppression of the derivatization reaction by the metal ions could be avoided by the addition of ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) to the reaction medium (Miyano et al, 1985a). The derivatization using NBD-F as a pre-column fluorogenic reagent was applied to the determination of amino acids Imai et al, 1982;Imai, 1983, 1984;Kotaniguchi et al, 1987), amines, amino acids and imino acids , amines and proteins (Miyano et al, 1985b), hexosamines and hexosaminols (Imanari et al, 1985), neutral sugars as their glycamines (Shinomiya et al, 1987), aminophospholipids (Kaneko et al, 1987), Ssulfocysteine and S-sulfoglutathione (Togawa et al, 1988), phosphatidylethanolamine and its lysoform (Saris and Somerharju, 1989), amphetamine-related compounds (Hayakawa et al, 1989), selenium (Nakagawa et al, 1989), cyclamate (Hauck and Köbler, 1990), penicillins (Iwaki et al, 1990), ammonia (Kobayashi et al, 1992), peptides Arg-Gly-NH 2 and Arg-Pro-Lys-Pro (Yoshinaga et al, 1994), cholinergic channel activator A82695 (Hui and Marsh, 1995), dipeptides (Beijersten and Westerlund, 1995), hydrolyzed fumonisin B 1 (Scott and Lawrence, 1996), anatoxin-a (James and Sherlock, 1996;James et al, 1997), proteines (Wise et al, 1996), peptides (Kanazawa et al, 1997) (Jiménez and Mateo, 1997), anatoxin-a, homoanatoxin-a and their degradation products (James et al, 1998), methamphetamine and related compounds , imine-linked opines (Zhang et al, 1998), L-arginine (Prados et al, 1999), D-penicillamine (Al-Majed, 2000) and neurotoxin domic acid (James et al, 2000). Furthermore, after the derivatization with NBD-F, the enantioselective separation of amino acids were achieved on the chiral stationary phases ...…”
