A novel anion exchange liquid chromatographic system has been developed for isocratic separation of leukotrienes. Hydrophobic as well as ionic forces were found to influence the separation. By optimization of solvent strenght, ionic strenght and pH, amphoteric peptidoleukotrienes could be separated simultaneously with hydroxy fatty acids such as leukotriene B4and its #x3C9;-oxidized metabolites. To obtain a good buffering capacity of the mobile phase at optimum pH, a multicomponent buffer was developed.
