ATP and its metabolites, such as ADP, AMP, adenosine, inosine and hypoxanthine, were separated by reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography with isocratic elution on uncapped and capped silica-based columns, and detected by measuring the absorbance at 254nm. An investigation of the effects of an organic solvent as well as the ionic strength, ion-pairing reagents and pH of the mobile phase allowed us to establish chromatographic conditions which are suitable for the determination of these compounds in biological specimens.
