The use of anisoin as pre-chromatographic reagent for LC analysis of guanidino compounds is proposed. The reagent reacts (5 min at 100°C) with guanidino function and the resulting adducts can be chromatographed under reversed-phase conditions. A fluorescence detector (lex = 325 nm; lem = 435 nm) was used to detect guanidino adducts. The derivatization and chromatographic conditions were optimised by a series of experiments. Application to the determination of arginine and creatine in pharmaceuticals and arginine, guanidine, methylguanidine, guanidinosuccinic acid, b-guanidinopropionic acid, g-guanidinobutyric acid, guanidinoacetic acid and homoarginine in human urine is described. Quantitation limits ranged from 6 to 30 fmol, except for creatine (510 fmol).

A fluorescence detector (lex = 325 nm; lem = 435 nm) was used to detect guanidino adducts. The derivatization and chromatographic conditions were optimised by a series of experiments.
