An assay based on stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (ID/LC-MS-MS) was developed for the quantification of 17-hydroxyprogesterone, the most important indicator of 21-hydroxylase deficiency in human plasma. Plasma was extracted using ethyl acetate and Extrelut columns. LC was performed on a reversed-phase C18 column using a water/methanol gradient. A benchtop triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, operating in selected reaction monitoring mode, served as mass detector. The analytical run time was 9 min per sample. The sensitivity was high: 0.06 pmol of 17-hydroxyprogesterone yielded a signal-to-noise ratio of 13. Precision (CV) and accuracy (relative error) derived from the analyses of unspiked and spiked validation samples were 7.4-12.0% and 6.4%, respectively. When analyzing the same samples - median (range), in nanomoles per liter - from neonates and adults independently by ID/LC-MS-MS as well as by ID/gas chromatography (GC)-MS, corresponding results were obtained: neonates (n = 10), ID/LC-MS-MS 3.99 (0.48-16.05), ID/GC-MS 5.39 (1.57-13.02); adults (n = 10), ID/LC-MS-MS 2.66 (1.39-6.15), ID/GC-MS 2.54 (0.51-5.12). The technique permitted reliable detection of classical and nonclassical forms of 21- hydroxylase deficiency. The much simpler sample preparation, the faster analytical run time and the operational ease possible with ID/LC-MS-MS permit a considerable increase of sample testing per day without compromising on analytical sensitivity and specificity. We expect that benchtop tandem mass spectrometry will open new avenues in clinical steroid analysis. 相似文献

A capillary gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric method for the simultaneous determination of tetrahydrocortisol (THF, 3α,11β,17α,21-tetrahydroxy-5β-pregnane-20-one), allo-tetrahydrocortisol (allo-THF, 3α,11β,17α,21-tetrahydroxy-5α-pregnane-20-one) and tetrahydrocortisone (THE, 3α,17α,21-trihydroxy-5β-pregnane-11,20-dione) in human plasma and urine is described. [1,2,3,4,5-2H5]THF (THF-d5), allo-[1,2,3,4,5-2H5]THF (allo-THF-d5) and [1,2,3,4,5-2H5]THE (THE-d5) were used as internal standards. A double derivatization (bismethylenedioxypentafluoropropionate, BMD-PFP) made possible the separation of the three tetrahydrocorticoids with good gas chromatographic behavior. Quantitation was carried out by selected-ion monitoring of the characteristic fragment ions ([M−30]+) of the BMD-PFP derivatives of THF, allo-THF and THE. The sensitivity, specificity, precision and accuracy of the method were demonstrated to be satisfactory for measuring low concentrations of THF, allo-THF and THE in human plasma and urine. 相似文献

This study describes a capillary gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) method for the simultaneous determination of endogenous thyroid hormone (thyroxine, T4) and its 13C-labelled analogue (13C6-thyroxine) in plasma. 13C9-thyroxine was used as analytical internal standard. A double derivatization (CH3OH/HCl and HFBA) inducing good GC mobility was used for the GC-MS analysis of the thyroid hormones. Quantification was carried out by selected ion monitoring (SIM) of specific ions of the fragment ions (m/z 970/976/979). The detection limit of the present GC-MS-SIM method was found to be 100 pg per injection for thyroxine (S/N=3.0). A first implementation in in vivo tests of 13C6-T4 like metabolic tracer was carried out under veterinary control on one cat and one rabbit. The thyroxine follow-up was done by GC-MS and based on double isotopic dilution with two different regio-selective 13C-labelled molecules of the same hormone. The present paper discusses the possibilities and limitations of this methodology. The in vivo experiment demonstrated that the use of stable isotopes and mass spectrometry provide a reliable methodology for hormonal monitoring. 相似文献

We have compared two sample preparation methods for the analysis of plasma acylcarnitines by tandem mass spectrometry. Extraction from liquid plasma using acetonitrile was compared with the widely used methanol extraction from plasma spotted on filter paper. The recovery and reproducibility of the acetonitrile extraction were improved by acidification with 0.3% formic acid. The acidified acetonitrile and methanol extractions have the same limit of detection and upper linearity limit for all acylcarnitine species studied. The correlation coefficients between the two methods were greater than 0.988 and the slopes of the linear regressions ranged from 0.901 to 1.070. The extraction of acylcarnitines by acidified acetonitrile from liquid plasma yielded results comparable to those obtained by methanol extraction from plasma spotted on filter paper. 相似文献

A method for quantitative determination of individual cytokinin species has been developed, based on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and selected ion monitoring. Deuterated internal standards were prepared for analysis of N6-isopentenyladenosine, N6-isopentenyl-2-methylthioadenosine, zeatin riboside, and 2-methylthiozeatin riboside and were tested over the range of 1 to 20 ng of endogenous cytokinin per injection, relative to 100 ng of labeled standard. An isolation procedure for extracts of cabbage hearts as a model plant source has been developed that gives maximum recovery and minimum interference for gas chromatographic-mass spectrometric measurements. The present method differs from the commonly used bioassay by its selectivity for individual cytokinin components and shortened analysis time, including extractions, of 3 days vs several weeks. 相似文献

A pilot study was performed to prove the suitability of stable isotope dilution assays for assessing the bioavailability of endogenous folates in foods. By using [2H(4)]folic acid, [2H(4)]tetrahydrofolate, [2H(4)]5-methyltetrahydrofolate, [2H(4)]5-formyltetrahydrofolate and [2H(4)]10-formylfolic acid as internal standards, folates in spinach, apple juice and blood plasma were quantified by liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry. To liberate the pteroyl monoglutamates, sample extracts of foods were treated by rat plasma. Sample clean-up was achieved by solid-phase extraction on anion-exchange cartridges, which proved to be sufficient to obtain mass chromatograms devoid of matrix interferences. The bioavailability study was designed as a short-time protocol with three meals, the first consisting of 600 g spinach (meal A), the second consisting of 600 g apple sauce with additionally 400 microg synthetic folic acid (meal B) and the third consisting solely of 600 g apple sauce (meal C). Prior to the meals, the participating volunteer's tissue was saturated with folates to achieve a significant response of plasma folate to the meals. After consumption of meals A and B a significant rise in folate plasma level compared to meal C (mean level at 28 microg/ml) was observed. The relative bioavailability of folate following meal A exceeded significantly the suggested value of 50% for food folates by taking the dose-normalized area under the curve (AUC) following ingestion of meal B as reference. 相似文献

New stable isotope dilution assays were developed for the simultaneous quantitation of the folates 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid, 5-formyltetrahydrofolic acid, tetrahydrofolic acid, 10-formylfolic acid, and folic acid as well as for their catabolites para-aminobenzoylglutamate (pABG) and acetyl-para-aminobenzoylglutamate (ApABG) in clinical samples. The methods were based on cleanup by strong anion exchange followed by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) detection. Deuterated analogues of the folates and [13C5]-labeled isotopologues of the catabolites were applied as the internal standards in stable isotope dilution assays. Extraction in 4-morpholineethanesulfonic acid (MES) buffer at pH 5.0 ensured the optimum stability of folates and, in combination with solid-phase extraction (SPE) based on strong anion exchange, resulted in higher recoveries compared with other combinations of extraction buffers and SPE. The method was sensitive enough to detect pABG in plasma generally and unmetabolized folic acid in the plasma of a volunteer after oral dosage of an aqueous folic acid solution. The sum of folate catabolites increased by a factor of 2 in the urine of the latter volunteer, compared with that resulting when only water was dosed. 相似文献

This study describes a capillary GC-MS method for the simultaneous determination of endogenous 6beta-hydroxycortisol (6beta-OHF) and its stable isotope-labelled analogue, 6beta-hydroxy-[1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisol (6beta-OHF-2H(5)), in human urine. 6beta-Hydroxy-[1,2,4,19-13C(4),1,1,19,19,19-2H(5)]cortisol (cortisol-13C(4),(2)H(5)) was used as an analytical internal standard. The methoxime trimethylsilyl ether (MO-TMS) derivatization was employed for the GC-MS analysis of 6beta-OHF. Quantitation was carried out by selected-ion monitoring (SIM) of the characteristic fragment ion ([M-31](+.)) of the MO-TMS derivative of 6beta-OHF. The sensitivity limit of the present GC-MS-SIM method was found to be 25 pg per injection for 6beta-OHF (S/N ratio=5.6). The within-day reproducibility in the amounts of unlabelled and labelled 6beta-OHFs determined were in good agreement with the actual amounts added, the relative errors being less than 5.30%. The inter-assay RSDs were less than 4.95% for unlabelled and labelled 6beta-OHFs. 相似文献

Plasma vitamin K1 (phylloquinone) determination is commonly used for the diagnosis of vitamin K deficiency in patients suffering from lipid malabsorption. Moreover, current evidence that adequate vitamin K intake, and correspondingly adequate plasma vitamin K1 concentration, could also be of importance in relation to bone and brain diseases emphasizes the need to improve the current analytical methods. We developed a liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry method using a stable isotope ring-D4-labeled internal standard of vitamin K1 and operating in the multiple reaction monitoring mode by the selection of a precursor and product ions. The atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) method was shown to be more sensitive than electrospray ionization. After a single-step extraction with cyclohexane, chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column with an isocratic mobile phase. The linearity was up to 5400 ng/L, and the limit of detection was 14 ng/L. Intra- and interrun precision were 2.4% and 8.3%, respectively, for the lower limit of the reference range. Recovery was better than 98%. The method is simple and reliable, allowing accurate vitamin K1 measurement in plasma samples from healthy subjects and patients suffering from vitamin K deficiency. 相似文献

Trimethylamine-N-oxide (TMAO) levels in blood predict future risk for major adverse cardiac events including myocardial infarction, stroke, and death. Thus, the rapid determination of circulating TMAO concentration is of clinical interest. Here we report a method to measure TMAO in biological matrices by stable isotope dilution liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with lower and upper limits of quantification of 0.05 and >200 μM, respectively. Spike and recovery studies demonstrate an accuracy at low (0.5 μM), mid (5 μM), and high (100 μM) levels of 98.2, 97.3, and 101.6%, respectively. Additional assay performance metrics include intraday and interday coefficients of variance of <6.4 and <9.9%, respectively, across the range of TMAO levels. Stability studies reveal that TMAO in plasma is stable both during storage at −80 °C for 5 years and to multiple freeze thaw cycles. Fasting plasma normal range studies among apparently healthy subjects (n = 349) show a range of 0.73–126 μM, median (interquartile range) levels of 3.45 (2.25–5.79) μM, and increasing values with age. The LC/MS/MS-based assay reported should be of value for further studies evaluating TMAO as a risk marker and for examining the effect of dietary, pharmacologic, and environmental factors on TMAO levels. 相似文献

A method for the determination of melatonin in human saliva has been developed using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS-MS). Saliva was collected in plastic tubes. 7-D-Melatonin was added as internal standard and the samples were cleaned and concentrated by solid-phase extraction. The limit of detection was 1.05 pg x ml(-1) and the limit of quantification was 3.0 pg x ml(-1). The accuracy of the method was +/-14% at 5.60 pg x ml(-1) and +/-9% at 19.6 pg x ml(-1). The precision was +/-13% at 6.18 pg x ml(-1) and +/-11% at 31.2 pg x ml(-1), respectively. Our HPLC-MS-MS method shows a high sensitivity and specificity for melatonin and more reliable results compared with a radioimmunoassay. The chromatographic method has been used to determine the circadian rhythm of melatonin among three nurses working the night shift and a patient suffering from an inability to fall asleep at night. 相似文献

A new analytical determination method of homocystine in human plasma has been developed. The method utilises liquid chromatography coupled to ionspray tandem mass spectrometry. Quantitative analysis was achieved using as an internal standard homocystine-d8. Mass spectrometer operated in the multiple reaction mode: homocystine and homocystine-d8 were detected through the transition from the precursor to the product ion (from m/z 269.3 to 90.0, and m/z 277.3 to 94.0, respectively). The method is extremely sensitive, with limit of detection in the range of 6 fmol/L. The interassay and intraassay coefficients of variation for homocystine were 6.22% and 3.4%, respectively. The accuracy for the added homocystine ranged from 85% to 110%. High specificity of tandem mass spectrometry coupled with a fast chromatographic process is suitable for a rapid and reliable assay of homocystine. 相似文献

A comparison study on folate quantitation was carried out between the recently developed stable isotope dilution assay using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) and the frequently used HPLC with fluorimetric detection (LC-FD). By applying LC-MS-MS, spinach, wheat bread, beef, and blood plasma were found to contain 159.2, 19.8, 1.2, and 5.6 microg/100 g total folates, respectively, whereas the respective quantitative data obtained by LC-FD were 95.5, 16.2, 0.7, and 6.8 microg/100 g. In all samples, LC-MS-MS revealed superior selectivity and precision and circumvented the shortcomings of conventional LC techniques, i.e., ambiguous peak assignment as well as high detection limits for 5-formyltetrahydrofolate, 10-formylfolic acid, and folic acid. The affinity chromatography columns used in this study showed excellent cleanup performance and permitted detection limits as low as 0.1, 0.5, 0.1, 0.08, and 0.1 microg/100 g for tetrahydrofolate (H(4)folate), 5-methyl-H(4)folate, 5-formyl-H(4)folate, 10-formylfolate, and pteroylglutamic acid, respectively. Thus, a 10-fold higher sensitivity compared to solid-phase anion-exchange cartridges was achieved. However, affinity chromatography columns revealed a significantly higher affinity toward the natural vitamers than to the racemic isotopomeric standards, which has to be considered when applying the latter in stable isotope dilution assays. 相似文献

A stable isotope dilution assay was developed for the sensitive determination of D-galactonic acid. D-[U-13C(6)]galactono-1,4-lactone was prepared as internal standard. Unlabelled and U-13C-labelled D-galactonic acid species were converted to the N-(1-butyl)galactonamide pentaacetate derivatives and assessed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Positive chemical ionisation and monitoring of the [MH-60](+)-ions in the galactonate chromatographic peak at m/z 402 and m/z 408 were used for quantification. The procedure was applied to study the variability of D-galactonate excretion in healthy subjects and galactosemic patients and to monitor the D-galactonate-D-galactitol ratio in human urine. 相似文献

Quantitative LC-MS/MS assays were designed for tryptic peptides representing 53 high and medium abundance proteins in human plasma using a multiplexed multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) approach. Of these, 47 produced acceptable quantitative data, demonstrating within-run coefficients of variation (CVs) (n = 10) of 2-22% (78% of assays had CV <10%). A number of peptides gave CVs in the range 2-7% in five experiments (10 replicate runs each) continuously measuring 137 MRMs, demonstrating the precision achievable in complex digests. Depletion of six high abundance proteins by immunosubtraction significantly improved CVs compared with whole plasma, but analytes could be detected in both sample types. Replicate digest and depletion/digest runs yielded correlation coefficients (R(2)) of 0.995 and 0.989, respectively. Absolute analyte specificity for each peptide was demonstrated using MRM-triggered MS/MS scans. Reliable detection of L-selectin (measured at 0.67 microg/ml) indicates that proteins down to the microg/ml level can be quantitated in plasma with minimal sample preparation, yielding a dynamic range of 4.5 orders of magnitude in a single experiment. Peptide MRM measurements in plasma digests thus provide a rapid and specific assay platform for biomarker validation, one that can be extended to lower abundance proteins by enrichment of specific target peptides (stable isotope standards and capture by anti-peptide antibodies (SISCAPA)). 相似文献

Two new stable isotope dilution assays were developed for the quantification of ochratoxin A in human blood samples for exposure studies. The methods based on two different sample extraction and cleanup procedures including liquid–liquid extraction with following immunoaffinity chromatography (IA) as well as a dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE) method. For detection, LC–MS/MS was applied. For the first time, exact quantitation of the reference compound ochratoxin A was performed by quantitative NMR spectroscopy (qNMR). Additionally, a comparison of different blood-drawing procedures revealed no differences for heparin plasma and serum whereas citrate plasma gave significantly lower results for the mycotoxin. Limits of detection (LOD: 0.02 ng/g (IA) vs 0.03 ng/g (DSPE)), limits of quantification (LOQ: 0.07 ng/g (IA) vs 0.08 ng/g (DSPE)), relative recovery (?94%), precision, and linearity indicated excellent performance of the developed methods. 相似文献

A new method for the determination of histamine by stable isotope dilution mass fragmentography is described. The method is specific, sensitive, and accurate, resulting in a within-day coefficient of variation of 4.1% and a day-to-day variation of 7.9%. It was shown that the first blood sample after a venipuncture can contain an artificially elevated plasma histamine concentration. Platelets contain about 7 pmol histamine/10(9) cells. Serum histamine was elevated about four times in comparison with plasma histamine. This phenomenon was mainly ascribed to degranulation of basophilic leukocytes by complement activation during blood clotting. Normal values for plasma histamine were (n = 25) 2.07 +/- 0.75 nmol/liter (mean +/- 1 SD), which is one of the lowest values reported up to now. 相似文献

For analysis of trace compounds, stable isotope dilution assays (SIDAs) have gained increasing importance in the past years.
This methodology is based on the use of stable isotopically labelled analogues of the analytes as internal standards (IS).
To take the mycotoxins patulin and ochratoxin A as examples, the benefits of SIDAs were demonstrated both for foods and for
clinical analyses.
Regarding PAT, an isotopomer labelled with13C was used as IS and enabled quantitation of the mycotoxin in tissues and blood. By applying this technology, a fast passive
diffusion into tissue was proven with the model of the perfused rat stomach. Furthermore, rapid degradation of PAT was observed
when it was reacted with blood, which was attributed to the formation of PAT-GSH adducts detected by LC-MS/MS.
For OTA, a SIDA was based on the use of [2H5]-OTA as the IS and proved to be more accurate when compared to alternative methods such as HPLC-FD or ELISA. In contrast
to PAT, OTA was detectable in human blood and urine samples. Under the assumption that the majority of OTA is circulating
in blood, an urinary excretion rate of about 1% of the whole body content per day was calculated.

A capillary gas chromatographic—mass spectrometric method for the simultaneous determination of stable isotopically labelled l-histidine (l-[3,3-2H2,1′,3′-15N2]histidine, l-His-[M + 4]) and urocanic acid ([3-2H,1′,3′-15N2]urocanic acid, UA-[M + 3]) in human plasma was developed using dl-[2,3,3,5′-2H4,2′-13C,1′,3′-15N2]histidine (dl-His-[M + 7]) and [2,3,5′-2H3,2′-13C,1′,3′-15N2]urocanic acid (UA-[M + 6]) as internal standards. l-Histidine and urocanic acid were derivatized to αN-(trifluoroacetyl)-imN-(ethoxycarbonyl)-l-histidine n-butyl ester and imN-(ethoxycarbonyl)urocanic acid n-butyl ester. Quantification was carried out by selected ion monitoring of the molecular ions of the respective derivatives of l-His-[M + 4], dl-His-[M + 7], UA-[M + 3] and UA-[M + 6]. The sensitivity, specificity, precision and accuracy of the method were demonstrated to be satisfactory for measuring plasma concentrations of l-His-[M + 4] and UA-[M + 3] following administration of trace amounts of l-His-[M + 4] to humans. 相似文献

Interassay variation of antibody-based routine tests hampers comparability of measurement results for growth hormone (GH) between different laboratories and decision making in clinical practice. Here it is demonstrated that quantification of GH by isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) constitutes a way to obtain precise and reliable results that can be referred to in evaluation of performance of commercial test kits. With the IDMS method developed, tryptic cleavage products YSFLQNPQTSLCFSESIPTPSNR (T6) and LEDGSPR (T12) of GH are quantified by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) using isotopically labeled forms of the peptides as internal standards. The GH cleavage fragments are obtained by whole serum tryptic proteolysis and then extracted from the resulting mixture by semipreparative reversed-phase LC followed by strong cation exchange chromatography. Analysis of blank serum spiked with recombinant 22-kDa GH at different concentration levels would result in a mean recovery of 101.6%, a standard deviation (SD) of 2.5%, a combined uncertainty (uc) of 3.0%, and a limit of quantification (LOQ) of 1.7 μg/L when quantifying T6 as a GH-derived fragment, whereas recovery = 100.7%, SD = 2.4%, uc = 2.5%, and LOQ = 2.7 μg/L were found with T12. The potential to acquisition of reference values is exemplified by application to serum materials used in a recent quality assessment exercise for routine laboratories. 相似文献
