A multi-wall carbon nanotubes/polypyrrole modified electrode that can be used as the working electrode in the high performance liquid chromatography with electrochemical detection to determine the monoamine neurotransmitters was developed. The voltammetric response of dopamine could be promoted by using the electrode. The peak currents of norepinephrine, epinephrine, dopa mine and 5-hydroxytryptamine were linear with their concentrations ranging from 5. 0 ×10-10 to 1. 0 ×10-6 mol/L, and the peak currents of 3 , 4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid and homovanillic acid were linear with their concentrations ranging from 1. 0 ×10-9 to 5. 0 × 10-4 mol/L.The correlation coefficients of the seven compounds were more than 0. 998. The detection limits were the level of 0. 1 nmol/L. Coupled with in vivo microdialysis sampling, the method had been success fully applied to measure monoamine neurotransmitters in rat striatum of freely moving Parkinsonian rats, and the monoamine neurotransmitters level of model group decreased compared with control group.%制备了碳纳米管/聚吡咯复合修饰电极,研究了多巴胺等单胺类神经递质在该修饰电极上的电化学行为.将此修饰电极作为电化学检测器,与高效液相色谱联用,测定了脑中7种神经递质及其代谢产物.结果表明:去甲肾上腺素、肾上腺素、多巴胺和5-羟色胺的线性范围为5.0×10(-10)～1.0×10(-5)mol/L;3,4-二羟基苯乙酸,5-羟吲哚乙酸和高香草酸的线性范围为1.0×10(9)～5.0×10(-4)mol/L;7种物质相关系数均大于0.998;检出限在0.1 nmol/L水平.结合微透析活体取样,测定了自由活动帕金森模型组大鼠脑纹状体中7种单胺类神经递质及其代谢产物的含量,较正常组有所降低.
