D-serine has a role as an endogenous allosteric agonist of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor in the mammalian brain. In this study, we present a detailed description of our method that measures D-/L-serine by using conventional high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). • We reacted D-serine and L-serine with ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA) and N-acetyl-L-cysteine (NAC) to form diastereomeric isoindole derivatives, then we separated and detected them by conventional reversed phase HPLC with electrochemical detector (ECD). • We present typical measurement data of rat brain homogenate as an example of a convenient, appropriate method for measuring brain concentrations of D-serine. • Since many peaks appear in biological samples, we confirmed that the peaks were derived from serine by treating the sample with D-amino oxidase and catalase to decompose D-serine. As a results, one peak disappeared, suggesting that it is derived from D-serine.
