Abstract

A rapid and reliable method based on immuno-affinity chromatography and preparative high pressure liquid chromatography was used for extraction and purification of cAMP from the two trematode species Gastrothylax crumenifer and Explanatum explanatum. The purified cAMP was quantified by electrospray tandem mass spectrometry in an amount of 44 and 83 picomole/g fresh weight of Gastrothylax crumenifer and Explanatum explanatum respectively.
