Abstract

High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods were used to analyse a 5 kDa component purified from enamel matrix derivative (EMD), the active ingredient in Emdogain®, a commercial product for periodontal tissue regeneration. After initial purification by size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) on a 100 cm × 5 cm column (Bio-Gel P-30 Fine, 280 nm), collected fractions were analysed by size-exclusion HPLC (SE HPLC; TSK-Gel Super SW2000, 220 nm). The fractions containing only the 5 kDa component were analysed by reversed-phase high-pressure chromatography (RP HPLC; YMC-Pack ODS-A, 200 nm), revealing four peaks of the 5 kDa component. From 1200 mg of EMD (of which 9% is the 5 kDa component), approximately 65 mg of lyophilised 5 kDa component were obtained, corresponding to a recovery of 60%. The SE HPLC method was mainly suitable for qualitative analysis, whereas the RP HPLC method was appropriate for both qualitative and quantitative analysis.
