“…Their polarity increases with the number of phosphate group. Unlike nucleoside triphosphates highly polar, monophosphate nucleosides can be retained on RP-HPLC column [38,39,60,65,70]. Lu et al [71] described a RP-HPLC separation for 90 nitrogen-containing cellular metabolites including nine nucleoside monophosphates (AMP, cytidine monophosphate (CMP), UMP, guanosine monophosphate (GMP), TMP, deoxyadenosine monophosphate (dAMP), dCMP, dUMP, deoxyguanosine monophosphate (dGMP)) using a Synergi Fusion RP column (Phenomenex) and a mixture water/formic acid/methanol as mobile phase delivered by a gradient program.…”
