Summary:Several oxidative products of 3-hydroxy-dl-kynurenine (3-dl-HKY) were detected using high-performance liquid chromatography–electrochemical detection–ultraviolet absorption detection–electron spin resonance spectrometry (HPLC–ED–UV–ESR) and high-performance liquid chromatography–electrochemical detection–ultraviolet absorption detection–mass spectrometry (HPLC–ED–UV–MS). In the HPLC–ED–UV–ESR and the HPLC–ED–UV–MS systems, the ED electrode is placed between an HPLC injector and an HPLC column, and is used as a reactor. 3-dl-HKY was oxidized by the ED electrode with various applied potentials (0–1.0 V). The oxidative products formed were separated by the HPLC column and then detected by the ultraviolet absorption detector, the electron spin resonance spectrometer and the mass spectrometer, respectively. Thus, the HPLC–ED–UV–ESR and the HPLC–ED–UV–MS systems allow us to separate and identify some of the relatively unstable products, including free radical species that form in the redox reactions of 3-dl-HKY.
