Nakamura, Hiroshi published the artcileSensitive and specific detection of tryptophan, tryptamine and N-terminal tryptophan peptides on thin-layer plates using a unique fluorogenic reaction with fluorescamine, Recommanded Product: Potassium 1H-indol-3-yl sulfate, the publication is Journal of Chromatography (1978), 152(1), 153-65, database is CAplus.
Two sensitive and sp. methods were developed for the detection of tryptophan, tryptamine, N-terminal tryptophan peptides and other 3-(2-aminoethyl)-indoles on thin-layer plates in which the reaction is based on the unique fluorescence of the fluorescamine derivatives after treatment with HClO4. The 1st method the compounds are separated on plates and reacted by dipping in acetone-n-hexane (1:4) containing fluorescamine, whereas in the 2nd method the compounds are first derivatized with fluorescamine at the origin of the plates by dipping in the solution and then separated When sprayed with 40% HClO4, the fluorescamine derivatives appear as yellow-orange fluorescent spots. Certain 3,4-dihydroxyphenylethylamines and 3-methoxy-4-hydroxyphenylethylamines that have a free amino group in the side-chain also react, but they give a bluish fluorescence. Depending on the compounds, amounts of 1-800 pmole could be detected.
