OBJECTIVE To develop a quantitative proton nuclear magnetic resonance (qHNMR) method for the determination of 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC). METHODS A Bruker AVANCE Ⅱ 600 MHz NMR resonance spectra was utilized to acquire the NMR spectra of DOPC. The compound 1,3,5-trimethoxybenzene served as the internal standard, deuterated chloroform as the solvent, with 30° pulses, 16 scans, a test temperature of 25 ℃, and an acquisition time (AQ) of 5 s. The relaxation delay time (D1) was set at 35 s for quantitative analysis of DOPC. RESULTS The sample's ¹H-NMR spectra displayed a methyl proton signal at chemical shift δ 0.87; the quantitative peak signals of DOPC and internal standard were well resolved on the ¹H-NMR spectra with good linear relationship for DOPC (r>0.9996). The method demonstrated accuracy and repeatability with DOPC content ranging from 96.7% to 98.7%, consistent with results obtained from phosphomolybdic acid colorimetry. CONCLUSION The established qHNMR method accurately quantifies DOPC, is faster than the classical phosphomolybdate colometry method, requires no complex pretreatment operations.
