We performed prenatal diagnosis of organic acid disorders using two mass spectrometric methods; gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (ESI/MS/MS). Of 28 cases whose amniotic fluid was tested, 11 cases were diagnosed as "affected". All cases whose samples were diagnosed as "unaffected" were confirmed to have no symptoms or abnormalities in urinary organic acid analysis after birth. Of the 11 "affected" cases, two cases were missed by ESI/MS/MS but not by GC/MS. When the stability of metabolites in amniotic fluid was checked, it was found that acylcarnitines degraded in one week at room temperature, whereas organic acids such as methylmalonate or methylcitrate were stable for at least 14 days. Prenatal diagnosis by analysis using simultaneous two or more methods may be more reliable, though attention should be paid to sample transportation conditions. 相似文献

The characterization of the drug metabolism and pharmacokinetic (DMPK) profiles of stereoisomers is a fundamental aspect of the drug discovery and development processes. Therefore, chiral drug bioassays are very important to pharmaceutical and biomedical researchers. The recent developments in chiral liquid chromatography coupled to atmospheric pressure ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-API-MS/MS) for the analysis of pharmaceuticals are reviewed. Various ionization techniques including electrospray ionization (ESI), atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and atmospheric photoionization (APPI) interfaced with chiral liquid chromatographic methods are described in terms of their ionization efficiencies, matrix effects and limitations. Examples were selected to demonstrate the applicability of these methods for enantioselective bioanalysis. 相似文献

The F2-isoprostanes (F2-IsoP) are a series of prostaglandin (PG)-F2-like compounds that are produced by free-radical-mediated oxidation of arachidonic acid. One F2-IsoP with potent biological activity is 15-F2t-IsoP and increased levels of 15-F(2t)-IsoP have been measured in several diseases. The major urinary metabolite of 15-F2t-IsoP (8-iso-PGF(2alpha)) is 2,3-dinor-5,6-dihydro-15-F2t-IsoP (15-F2t-IsoP-M). Previously, we developed a stable isotope dilution gas chromatography/negative chemical ionization/mass spectrometry (MS) assay for 15-F2t-IsoP-M, which, while highly sensitive, required time-consuming derivatization and thin-layer chromatography purification. We now report the development of a more rapid high-performance liquid chromatography method coupled to electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) to analyze all of the dinor,dihydro metabolites of the F2-IsoP isomers (F2-IsoP-M). The precision of this assay was +/-5.0% and the accuracy 80%. The assay remained linear over a range of 1-100 ng injected onto the LC column. Levels of F2-IsoP-M determined by the LC/MS/MS assay method significantly correlated with levels of 15-F2t-IsoP-M determined by the GC/MS assay (R = 0.77y = 67.2x-0.5). The levels of F2-IsoP-M detected in spot urines from 40 normal subjects were 38.1+/-19.1 ng/mg creatinine (mean+/-SD). This method provides an accurate and rapid assay to assess oxidative status in vivo. 相似文献

Sediment in urine may contain low-molecular-weight compounds that should be included in the analysis. To date, no systematic investigation has addressed this issue. We investigated three primary factors that influence the extraction efficiency of metabolites during preparation of urine samples for metabolomic research: centrifugation, pH, and extraction solvents. Obtained with the use of gas chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (GC/TOFMS) technique and principal component analysis (PCA), our results indicate that (1) conventional centrifugation causes an apparent loss of some metabolites, indicating that urine samples for metabolomic research should not be centrifuged before procedures are undertaken to recover the metabolites; (2) pH adjustment has a large impact on the recovery of metabolites and is therefore not encouraged; (3) with design of experiment analysis, methanol and water yield the optimal extraction efficiency. Differences between rat and human urine were observed and are discussed. Ninety-nine metabolites identified in rat and human urine are presented. An efficient protocol is proposed for the pretreatment of urine samples. 相似文献

代谢组学(metabolomics)主要是研究生物体、组织、细胞的代谢物组分及检测其动态变化过程,是继基因组和蛋白组学后新兴的一门组学技术。代谢物是细胞调节过程中的最终产物,其水平被视为生物系统对遗传或环境变化的最终反映。通过合适的分析平台,准确定性、定量在复杂的生物中具有化学多样性的次生代谢物是代谢组学的一项重要工作。液相色谱-串联质谱技术(liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry,LC-MS/MS)是代谢物质检测平台最常用的方法,也为植物次生代谢物的广泛应用研究提供了基础。本文主要从植物激素类、叶酸类、黄酮类等次生代谢物方面进行阐述,结合液质联用技术,简要论述不同次生代谢物检测技术的研究进展。 相似文献

Streptomyces spheroides, Streptomyces rishiriensis, and Streptomyces roseochromogenes are producers of the aminocoumarin-type antibiotics novobiocin, coumermycin A(1), and clorobiocin, respectively, all of which are bacterial gyrase inhibitors. In an attempt to develop a general analytical method for pathway monitoring of secondary metabolites from culture extracts of these strains, we used superior mass spectrometric methods. The aim was to develop and apply a technique for the rapid analysis of Streptomyces culture extracts with respect to those substances, thereby providing a method for screening extracts of genetically modified strains for new pharmaceutically active antibiotics with improved pharmacological effects. The combination of full scan mass spectrometry (MS), parent ion scan MS, product ion scan MS, and in-source collision-induced fragmentation prior to product ion scans (pseudo-MS(3) scan), using characteristic fragmentation of the central aminocoumarin unit, was employed for the detection and structural interpretation of expected and new intermediates. We were able to show the applicability of this methodology to the three culture extracts, where the main intermediates could be found, and to demonstrate its use for interpretation of secondary metabolite biosynthesis. Some new compounds were discovered, including bis-carbamoylated novobiocin, hydroxylated clorobiocin, and several structurally and not yet fully elucidated coumermycin derivatives or precursors. 相似文献

Evaluation of the mass spectrometric fragmentation of codeine and morphine after 13C-isotope biosynthetic labeling 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
All major fragment ions of codeine and morphine were elucidated using LC-electrospray MS/MS and high resolution FT-ICR-MS combined with an IRMPD system. Nanogram quantities of labeled codeine were isolated and purified from Papaver somniferum seedlings, which were grown for up to 9 days in the presence of [ring-13C6]-l-tyrosine, [ring-13C6]-tyramine and [1,2-13C2], [6-O-methyl 13C]-(R,S)-coclaurine. The labeling degree of codeine up to 57% into morphinans was observed. 相似文献

A rapid procedure for the determination of naphthalene and its metabolites in bile of rainbow trout and mice is described. The integrated analytical techniques combine high-performance liquid chromatography/ultraviolet fluorescence detection and plasma desotption/chemical ionization mass spectrometry for identification and quantitation. After separation by reverse-phase liquid chromatography, naphthalene and its metablolites are detected and quantitated by ultraviolet fluoresence spectometry. Identification of two metabolites is confirmed by mass spectometry. A direct insertion probe tip for a conventional chemical ionization mass spectometer was modified to obtain spectra of thermally labile compounds. A spectrum of less than 100 ng of naphthyl glucuronide, a labile glucuronic acid conjugate of 1-naphthol, was obtained with this system. 相似文献

Here we report a new method for oxosteroid identification utilizing “tandem mass tag hydrazine” (TMTH) carbonyl-reactive derivatisation reagent. TMTH is a reagent with a chargeable tertiary amino group attached through a linker to a carbonyl-reactive hydrazine group. Thirty oxosteroids were analysed after derivatisation with TMTH by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and were found to give high ion-currents compared to underivatised molecules. ESI-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) analysis of the derivatives yielded characteristic fragmentation patterns with specific mass reporter ions derived from the TMT group. A shotgun ESI-MS method incorporating TMTH derivatisation was applied to a urine sample. 相似文献

Owing to its capability of discriminating subtle mass-altering structural
differences such as double bonds or elongated acyl chains, MALDI-based imaging
MS (IMS) has emerged as a powerful technique for analysis of lipid distribution
in tissue at moderate spatial resolution of about 50 μm. However, it is
still unknown if MS1-signals and ion intensity images correlate with
the corresponding apparent lipid concentrations. Analyzing renal sulfated
glycosphingolipids, sulfatides, we validate for the first time IMS-signal
identities using corresponding sulfatide-deficient kidneys. To evaluate the
extent of signal quenching effects interfering with lipid quantification, we
surgically dissected the three major renal regions (papillae, medulla, and
cortex) and systematically compared MALDI IMS of renal sulfatides with
quantitative analyses of corresponding lipid extracts by on-target MALDI
TOF-MS and by ultra-performance
LC-ESI-(triple-quadrupole)tandem MS. Our results demonstrate a generally strong
correlation (R2 > 0.9) between the local relative sulfatide
signal intensity in MALDI IMS and absolute sulfatide quantities determined by
the other two methods. However, high concentrations of sulfatides in the
papillae and medulla result in an up to 4-fold signal suppression. In
conclusion, our study suggests that MALDI IMS is useful for semi-quantitative
dissection of relative local changes of sulfatides and possibly other lipids in
tissue. 相似文献

Oral sodium phenylbutyrate (SPB) is currently under investigation as a histone deacetylation (HDAC) inhibitor in Huntington disease (HD). Ongoing studies indicate that symptoms related to HD genetic abnormalities decrease with SPB therapy. In a recently reported safety and tolerability study of SPB in HD, we analyzed overall chromatographic patterns from a method that employs gradient liquid chromatography with series electrochemical array, ultraviolet (UV), and fluorescence (LCECA/UV/F) for measuring SPB and its metabolite phenylacetate (PA). We found that plasma and urine from SPB-treated patients yielded individual-specific patterns of approximately 20 metabolites that may provide a means for the selection of subjects for extended trials of SPB. The structural identification of these metabolites is of critical importance because their characterization will facilitate understanding the mechanisms of drug action and possible side effects. We have now developed an iterative process with LCECA, parallel LCECA/LCMS, and high-performance tandem MS for metabolite characterization. Here we report the details of this method and its use for identification of 10 plasma and urinary metabolites in treated subjects, including indole species in urine that are not themselves metabolites of SPB. Thus, this approach contributes to understanding metabolic pathways that differ among HD patients being treated with SPB. 相似文献

Ionically bound cell wall peroxidases (POXs) were liberated to intercellular washing fluids (IWFs) and isolated together with other proteins and metabolites present in the apoplast of white lupine (Lupinus albus L. var. Bac) root. After separation of proteins from low molecular weight compounds, activity of peroxidases was monitored in in vitro experiments. Oxidation of methyl ferulate with H2O2 was studied in multi-component mixtures of plant metabolites. Secondary metabolites identified in IWFs or other natural products playing important roles in different physiological processes were applied as modifiers of the dehydrodimerization process during oxidation reactions performed in vitro. These were isoflavones and their conjugates, lupanine representing quinolizidine alkaloids synthesized in lupine, or other natural products such as quercetin, ascorbic, and salicylic acid. The influence of these substances on the oxidation kinetics of methyl ferulate was monitored with liquid chromatography with ultraviolet detection (LC/UV), and identification of compounds was confirmed with the liquid chromatography/mass spectroscopy (LC/MS) system. On the basis of data collected, it was possible to reveal changes in the activities of cell wall POXs. Application of the LC system permitted us to monitor, independently, quantitative changes of two or more reaction products in the mixtures. In multi-component combinations, oxidation yields of methyl ferulate by POXs were modified depending on the actual composition of the reaction mixture. We conclude that various classes of plant secondary metabolites can modify the yield of methyl ferulate oxidation by hydrogen peroxide in the presence of POX, due to interactions with the enzyme's active site (genistein) or radical scavenging properties of metabolites present in the reaction mixture. 相似文献

In man the brain represents about 2% of the body weight, but contains 25% of the body's cholesterol. Cholesterol itself does not cross the blood-brain barrier and is synthesised in situ. Excess cholesterol from brain is exported in the form of oxysterols, or metabolised to steroids, which in contrast to cholesterol can cross the blood-brain barrier. Steroids and oxysterols may be synthesised in brain, but can also be transported into brain from peripheral tissue. Both oxysterols and steroids have biological activity in brain. They can behave as ligands for classical nuclear receptors, and exert their effects over hours to days, or interact with neurotransmitter gated ion channels and modulate neural transmission exerting their effects in milliseconds. The exact sterol and steroid content of brain has yet to be thoroughly characterised. In this mini-review we will discuss mass spectrometry methods for the analysis of steroids and sterols in brain, and propose methods suitable for the profiling of different brain regions with high sensitivity (sub pg) and specificity. 相似文献

In order to cope with the presence of unfavorable compounds, plants can biotransform xenobiotics, translocate both parent compounds and metabolites, and perform compartmentation and segregation at the cellular or tissue level. Such a scenario also applies to mycotoxins, fungal secondary metabolites with a pre-eminent role in plant infection. In this work, we aimed to describe the effect of the interplay between Zea mays (maize) and aflatoxin B1 (AFB1) at the tissue and organ level. To address this challenge, we used atmospheric pressure scanning microprobe matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (AP-SMALDI MSI) to investigate the biotransformation, localization and subsequent effects of AFB1 on primary and secondary metabolism of healthy maize plants, both in situ and from a metabolomics standpoint. High spatial resolution (5 µm) provided fine localization of AFB1, which was located within the root intercellular spaces, and co-localized with its phase-I metabolite aflatoxin M2. We provided a parallel visualization of maize metabolic changes, induced in different organs and tissues by an accumulation of AFB1. According to our untargeted metabolomics investigation, anthocyanin biosynthesis and chlorophyll metabolism in roots are most affected. The biosynthesis of these metabolites appears to be inhibited by AFB1 accumulation. On the other hand, metabolites found in above-ground organs suggest that the presence of AFB1 may also activate the biochemical response in the absence of an actual fungal infection; indeed, several plant secondary metabolites known for their antimicrobial or antioxidant activities were localized in the outer tissues, such as phenylpropanoids, benzoxazinoids, phytohormones and lipids. 相似文献

Busulfan is used in myeloablative preparation regimens for hematopoietic bone marrow transplantation. Due to its narrow therapeutic range therapeutic drug monitoring of busulfan is recommended. In this study a fast and simple method for measuring busulfan in serum or plasma by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed utilizing turbulent flow online extraction technology. Serum or plasma was mixed with acetonitrile containing d(8)-busulfan. After centrifugation the supernatant was injected onto a turbulent flow preparatory column then transferred to a C18 analytical column monitored by a tandem mass spectrometer set at positive electrospray ionization. The analytical cycle time was 4.0min. The method was linear from 0.15 to 41.90μmol/L with an accuracy of 87.9-103.0%. Inter- and intra-assay CVs across four concentration levels were 2.1-7.8%. No significant carryover or ion suppression was observed. No interference was observed from commercial control materials containing more than 100 compounds. Comparison with a well established LC-MS/MS method using patient specimens (n=45) showed a mean bias 1.3% with Deming regression of slope 1.02, intercept -0.02μmol/L, and a linear correlation coefficient 0.9883. The LC-MS/MS method coupled with turbulent flow online sample cleaning technology described here offers reliable busulfan quantitation in serum or plasma with minimum manual sample preparation and was fully validated for clinical use. 相似文献

Two mass spectrometric methods were established for the quantitative analyses of alpha-tocopherol (TH) and its oxidation product alpha-tocopherolquinone (TQ) in human plasma. Both methods make use of isotopically labeled internal standards of different levels of deuteration (d3-TH and d6-TQ). Plasma (100 microl) was saponified in the presence of a mixture of antioxidants, and then TH and TQ were extracted with hexane. With the GC-MS method, the analytes were first converted into O-trimethylsilyl derivatives before analysis in the selective ion monitoring mode. The derivatization procedure led to the quantitative conversion of TQ into the O-trimethylsilyl derivative of tocopherolhydroquinone, giving rise to a more stable molecule with less fragmentation than for TQ. The increased stability of the molecule resulted in an enhanced contribution of the base peak to the total observed ions and therefore an increased sensitivity of the base peak for quantification. With the liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method, TH and TQ were detected by multiple reaction monitoring after positive electrospray ionization. The GC-MS and LC-MS/MS methods showed nearly the same accuracy (>95%) and the same within-day precisions, with less than 5 and 10% for TH and TQ, respectively. The between-day precision and the limit of quantification for TQ in plasma were better by LC-MS/MS (4%; 3 nM) than by GC-MS (21%; 10 nM). Analysis and method validation were carried out with plasma samples obtained from a male volunteer pre- and postexercise. Both techniques showed that the ratio of TQ/TH was elevated by 35% immediately after exercise and had returned to basal levels when measured 24 h later. 相似文献

Isoprostanes are isomers of prostaglandins that are generated from free radical-initiated autoxidation of arachidonic acid. Quantification of F(2)-isoprostanes is regarded as the "gold standard" to assess oxidative stress in various human diseases. There are 32 possible racemic isoprostane isomers that exist as four sets of regioisomers. Each regioisomer is composed of eight diastereomers. We report liquid chromatographic/mass spectrometric methods to separate and identify F(2)-isoprostane stereoisomers. These methods have been applied to the analysis of F(2)-isoprostanes derived from tissues of rats exposed to an oxidative stress and are useful to assess the relative formation of various regioisomers and stereoisomers generated in vitro and in vivo. The delineation of the more abundant isomers formed will allow for studies to examine the biological relevance of selected compounds in vivo. 相似文献

A sensitive liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry method for the simultaneous determination of triclabendazole, its main metabolites (triclabendazole sulphone and triclabendazole sulphoxide) and a marker residue (ketotriclabendazole) in bovine and goat muscle, liver, and kidney samples is developed and validated. Analyte extraction from samples is effectively performed using liquid–liquid extraction by acetonitrile. Chromatographic separation is performed on a C18 reversed-phase column with gradient elution. The analytes are detected by tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry after positive electrospray ionization by multiple reaction monitoring. The limits of detection for analytes are found to be 0.25–2.5 μg/kg in muscle tissues and 1–10 μg/kg in liver and kidney tissues, respectively. The recoveries of edible bovine and goat tissues range from 84.9% to 109.5% when spiked at different levels with analytes, with relative standard deviations generally below 12.8%. 相似文献
