Abstract

A sensitive column switching HPLC-fluorescence detection for determination of bisphenol A (BPA) in rat brain by coupling with microdialysis was developed. A microdialysis probe was inserted into the hypothalamus of rat brain and an artificial cerebrospinal fluid was used for perfusion. BPA in brain dialysate was subjected to a fluorescent derivatization with 4-(4,5-diphenyl-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzoyl chloride (DIB-Cl), and the excess reagent was removed by a column-switching technique. Separation was carried out on two ODS semimicro-columns with the mobile phase of acetonitrile-H(2)O-methanol-tetrahydrofuran (55:10:35:2.5, v/v) and acetonitrile-0.1 M acetate buffer (pH 3.0)-methanol (35:10:55, v/v) at a flow rate of 0.10 and 0.15 mL/min for a precolumn and a separation column, respectively. Fluorescence intensity was monitored at 475 nm with excitation of 350 nm. BPA could be sensitively detected at 0.3 ppb in 60 micro L brain microdialysate at a signal-to-noise ratio of 3. By the proposed method, concentrations of BPA in rat brain and plasma were monitored for 8 h after single i.v. or oral administration. It is proved that BPA is capable of penetrating the blood-brain barrier. The ratio of the area under the concentration-time curve of BPA in rat brain to that in blood was estimated to be about 3.0-3.8%.
