Guanidino compounds in CSF of 57 human subjects were determined fluorometrically after reaction with phenanthrenequinone in alkali solution, using HPLC. Creatinine (65.2 +/- 13.4 nmol/ml), arginine (24.7 +/- 6.4 nmol/ml), and homoarginine (0.7 +/- 0.3 nmol/ml) were found in all subjects. Trace amounts of guanidinosuccinic acid and guanidinoacetic acid were detected in some of the subjects. Brain guanidino compounds, taurocyamine, N-acetylarginine, and methylguanidine were not detected in CSF.
