Isolation and Identification of the 3-Hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-pyridinium Compound as a Novel Advanced Glycation End Product on Glyceraldehyde-related Maillard Reaction

抄録

  Glyceraldehyde (200 mM) and N^α-acetyllysine (100 mM) were incubated in 0.2 M sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.4) at 37°C for a week. A major compound, glyceraldehyde-related Maillard reaction product, was purified from the reaction mixture using reverse phase (ODS)-HPLC. It was identified as 1-(5-acetylamino-5-carboxypentyl)-3-hydroxy-5-hydroxymethyl-pyridinium, named as GLAP (Glyceraldehyde derived Pyridinium compound), using NMR and MS analyses. It was suggested that GLAP as a novel advanced glycation end product (AGE) is one of the key compounds in the glyceraldehyde-related Maillard reaction.
