Condensation of delta‐1‐piperideine‐6‐carboxylate with ortho‐aminobenzaldehyde allows its simple, fast, and inexpensive quantification in the urine of patients with antiquitin deficiency

Antiquitin (ATQ) deficiency leads to tissue, plasma, and urinary accumulation of alpha‐aminoadipic semialdehyde (AASA) and its Schiff base delta‐1‐piperideine‐6‐carboxylate (P6C). Although genetic testing of ALDH7A1 is the most definitive diagnostic method, quantifications of pathognomonic metabolit...

Description
Summary:Antiquitin (ATQ) deficiency leads to tissue, plasma, and urinary accumulation of alpha‐aminoadipic semialdehyde (AASA) and its Schiff base delta‐1‐piperideine‐6‐carboxylate (P6C). Although genetic testing of ALDH7A1 is the most definitive diagnostic method, quantifications of pathognomonic metabolites are important for the diagnosis and evaluation of therapeutic and dietary interventions. Current metabolite quantification methods use laborious, technically highly complex, and expensive liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectro‐metry, which is available only in selected laboratories worldwide. Incubation of ortho‐aminobenzaldehyde (oABA) with P6C leads to the formation of a triple aromatic ring structure with characteristic absorption and fluorescence properties. The mean concentration of P6C in nine urine samples from seven ATQ‐deficient patients under standard treatment protocols was statistically highly significantly different (P
