Angiotensin-(1-7) is an important active component in the renin-angiotensin-system. Due to its cardio protective effects it is now under investigation in combination with antioxidants as a reperfusion solution. The combination showed impressive effects on isolated hearts of male Wistar rats after induced ischemia. In this work a high performance liquid chromatography method with fluorescence detection was developed for the first time for in-process measurements as well as for stability tests of the peptide in the novel antioxidant-containing Karal® solution. For fluorescence detection of angiotensin-(1-7) fluorescamine as derivatization dye was applied. Under optimized conditions the method showed linearity over the range of 50 to 5000 ng/mL with R(2) of 0.9988 and an overall precision better than 5.0 %. LOD and LOQ were determined to be in the femtomol range on column. It was found that stability of angiotensin-(1-7) could be significantly improved in the antioxidant containing preparation compared to aqueous solutions.
