A gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric isotope dilution method was developed for analysis of ascorbate on 10 μl samples of plasma. This assay was reproducible (standard deviation of less than 4%) and gave values for plasma ascorbate content within 8% of our previously published gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric method. Non-specific sample preparation allowed other analytes to be determined on the same sample by adjusting data acquisition parameters and adding the appropriate internal standard. Analysis on 28 subjects fell within the expected range for plasma ascorbate 68±29 μm (11.9±5.0 μg/ml) and established a normal range for plasma threonate of 28.1±2.4 μm (3.8±0.4 μg/ml).  相似文献

A simple, sensitive, and rapid gas chromatographic–mass spectrometric method is described for the simultaneous detection and quantitation of nicotine and its metabolite, cotinine, in urine and serum. The analytes and their respective deuterated internal standards were extracted by liquid–liquid extraction coupled to centrifugation and evaporation. The detection limit of the assay was 0.16 ng/ml for both nicotine and cotinine. The limit of quantitation for each analyte was 1.25 ng/ml.  相似文献

A rapid automated method with data print-out is described for quantitation of plasma phenylalanine and tyrosine from 0.100 ml of sample. The system uses the Rank-Hilger Chromaspek amino acid analyser linked to a Digico M16E computer.Amino acid concentrations up to 3000 μM can be quantitated without repeat dilutions and assessment of precision at the 500 μM level, produced coefficients of variation of 2.2% for tyrosine and 2.5% for phenylalanine. Recovery determinations from a plasma pool gave a mean recovery of 99.4% for tyrosine and 99.7% for phenylalanine.Correlation with established fluorimetric techniques was excellent (r = 0.986 for tyrosine, r = 0.976 for phenylalanine). By using the same resin column for both the rapid separation of tyrosine and phenylalanine, and the standard physiological fluid separation, full analysis capability is retained with easy interchange between the two systems.  相似文献

An LC–MS–MS method for the analysis of the neuraminidase inhibitor, zanamivir, in human serum is described. Zanamivir was extracted from protein precipitated human serum samples using Isolute SCX solid-phase extraction cartridges and analysed using reversed-phase chromatography with TurboIonSpray atmospheric pressure ionisation followed by mass spectrometric detection. The method uses a stable isotope internal standard, is highly specific and sensitive for a compound of this type and has been used for the analysis of human serum and urine samples from clinical studies. The method was extended to the analysis of serum and plasma samples from pre-clinical studies involving the rat, ferret and cell culture media. The method has been shown to be robust and valid over a concentration range of 10–5000 ng/ml using a 0.2-ml sample volume. The main advantages of this method compared to earlier procedures are primarily specificity, sensitivity, ease of sample preparation, small sample volume and short analysis time (ca. 5 min).  相似文献

A gas chromatography mass spectrometric method using negative chemical ionisation was developed for the determination of stable isotopes of selenium for evaluation of selenium absorption and retention from foods in humans. The method involves an acid digestion to convert all selenium into selenite, which subsequently reacts with 4-nitro-o-phenylene-diamine to form a volatile piazselenole. The piazselenole, after extraction into an organic solvent, was analysed for its isotopic selenium composition by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Negative chemical ionisation is reported for the first time for the determination of selenium stable isotopes and its analytical characteristics were compared to those of electron impact mass spectrometric ionisation, classically used for the determination of selenium. The negative chemical ionisation technique allowed accurate determination of total selenium by isotope dilution and of selenium isotope ratios in biological samples. The repeatability for total selenium and for stable isotope ratios was good (R.S.D.≤10%) within the range of 50 to 250 ng selenium. The detection limit for the investigated selenium isotopes was approximately 1 pg (signal to noise ratio at 3). The applicability of the developed stable isotope methodology was demonstrated by the determination of the selenium absorption and retention from foods in a pilot study using one human adult.  相似文献

A rapid, selective, sensitive and reproducible HPLC–electrospray tandem mass spectrometric method has been developed for the analysis of novel triazole antifungal agents, SYN-2869 and its derivatives (SYN-2836, SYN-2903 and SYN-2921), in rat plasma using SYN-2506 as an internal standard. Isolation of these compounds from plasma and sample desalting were performed by a simple extraction procedure involving protein precipitation, vacuum-drying and reconstitution with acetonitrile. For all the agents, linearity was observed over the range of 10–10 000 ng/ml (r≥0.996) and the limit of quantitation was 10 ng/ml using a 100-μl plasma volume. A measurement rate of 400–500 samples/day/instrument could be achieved using this method.  相似文献

A gas chromatographic—mass spectrometric (GC—MS) method is presented for the analysis of azacyclonol (AZA), a metabolite of terfenadine in serum and urine specimens. Following an alkaline extraction, AZA and an internal standard were derivatized using heptafluorobutyric anhydride. Fourier transform infrared spectrometry suggested that two sites on the AZA molecule were derivatized. GC—MS of the extracts had a limit of quantitation (LOQ) of 1 ng/ml and linear range of 1–1000 ng/ml in urine. Four volunteers were administered a therapeutic regimen of terfenadine followed by urine and serum specimen collection(s) during the next seven days. The results indicated that following a 60-mg dose of terfenadine each 12 h for five days, (1) AZA appears in urine within 2 h, (2) urine AZA concentrations were above the LOQ 72 h following the last dose, (3) peak urine concentrations were as high as 19 000 ng/ml, and (4) mean serum concentration following the ninth dose was 59 ng/ml.  相似文献

A specific high-performance liquid chromatographic-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometric assay for the quantitative determination of β-tigogenin cellobioside in human serum is described. Serum cleanup and acetylation of the analyte were required to achieve the desired lower limit of quantification, 10 ng/ml. The precision of the assay was better than 13% over a serum concentration range of 10–500 ng/ml.  相似文献

To measure myoglobin, a marker for myocardial infarction, directly in human serum, two-dimensional liquid chromatography in combination with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry was applied as an analytical method. High-abundant serum proteins were depleted by strong anion-exchange chromatography. The myoglobin fraction was digested and injected onto a 60 mm x 0.2 mm i.d. monolithic capillary column for quantitation of selected peptides upon mass spectrometric detection. The addition of known amounts of myoglobin to the serum sample was utilized for calibration, and horse myoglobin was added as an internal standard to improve reproducibility. Calibration graphs were linear and facilitated the reproducible and accurate determination of the myoglobin amount present in serum. Manual data evaluation using integrated peak areas and an automated multistage algorithm fitting two-dimensional models of peptide elution profiles and isotope patterns to the mass spectrometric raw data were compared. When the automated method was applied, a myoglobin concentration of 460 pg/microL serum was determined with a maximum relative deviation from the theoretical value of 10.1% and a maximum relative standard deviation of 13.4%.  相似文献

The 15N isotope dilution and A-value methods were used to measure biological nitrogen (N2) fixation in field grown fababean (Vicia faba L.), over a 2-year period. Four N rates, 20, 100, 200 and 400 kg N ha–1 were examined. The two isotope methods gave similar values of % N derived from the atmosphere (%Ndfa). With 20 kg N ha–1, %Ndfa in fababean was about 85% in both years. Increasing the N rate to 100 kg N ha–1 decreased N2 fixation slightly to 75%. Further reductions in N2 fixed to 60 and 43% occurred where 200 and 400 kg N ha–1 were applied, respectively. Thus even higher rates of N than normally applied in farming practice could not completely suppress N2 fixation in fababean.We also devised one equation for both the isotope dilution and A-value approaches, thereby (i) avoiding the need for different calculations for the 15N isotope methods, and (ii) showing once again that the isotope dilution and A-value methods are mathematically and conceptually identical.  相似文献

A method for the quantification of phenylalanine in whole blood and plasma by isotope dilution gas chromatography—mass spectrometry is presented. The use of an uncommon derivative allows a simple extraction procedure and the most basic mass spectrometer. The relative standard deviation was found to be 1.3% within-batch and 2.1% between-batch under optimum conditions, and the detection limit was found to be 7 pmol injected. The ruggedness of the procedure and sample handling conditions were also examined.  相似文献

A liquid chromatographic–tandem mass spectrometric (LC–MS–MS) method was developed for the quantitation of urinary leukotriene E4 (LTE4). LTE4 and its internal standard were extracted by solid-phase extraction and analysed using LC–MS–MS in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. A good linear response over the range of 10 pg to 10 ng was demonstrated. The accuracy of added LTE4 ranged from 97.0% to 108.0% with a mean and SD of 100.6±2.4%. We detected LTE4 (63.1±18.7 pg/mg creatinine, n=10) in healthy human urine. This method can be used to determine LTE4 in biological samples.  相似文献

Direct, quantitative capillary electrophoresis–electrospray ionisation mass spectrometric (CE–ESI-MS) and tandem mass spectrometric (CE–ESI-MS–MS) methods are described for the quantitation of 3-O-glucuronides of E- and Z-entacapone isomers (EEG and EZG) and tolcapone (TG) in urine. 3-O-Glucuronide of nitecapone was used as internal standard. Good separation of glucuronides was achieved with 20 mM ammonium acetate as separation solution at pH 6.84. Stacking was used to increase the sensitivity of the method by introducing samples in 5 mM ammonium acetate. CE–ESI-MS and CE–ESI-MS–MS methods are linear with correlation coefficients better than 0.9983 and 0.9982, and repeatable with relative standard deviations below 9 and 14%, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) in CE–ESI-MS at signal-to-noise ratio 3 is 100 ng/ml for EEG and EZG and 250 ng/ml for TG. The CE–ESI-MS–MS method was the more sensitive; LOD was 7 ng/ml for all compounds, without any concentration of the sample.  相似文献

The validation of a high-performance liquid chromatographic method for the simultaneous determination of low level cotinine and 3-hydroxycotinine in human saliva is reported. Analytes and deuterated internal standards were extracted from saliva samples using automated solid-phase extraction, the columns containing a hyper cross-linked styrene–divinylbenzene copolymer sorbent, and analysed by reversed-phase liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection (LC–MS–MS). Lower limits of quantitation of 0.05 and 0.10 ng/ml for cotinine and 3-hydroxycotinine, respectively, were achieved. Intra- and inter-batch precision and accuracy values fell within ±17% for all quality control samples, with the exception of quality control samples prepared at 0.30 ng/ml for 3-hydroxycotinine (inter-day precision 21.1%). Results from the analysis of saliva samples using this assay were consistent with subjects’ self-reported environmental tobacco smoke (ETS) exposures, enhancing the applicability of cotinine as a biomarker for the assessment of low level ETS exposure.  相似文献

The multiplicity of phosphatidylcholines is caused by the presence of different pairs of fatty acids in their individual molecular species and at least 27 miscellaneous fatty acids were identified in phosphatidylcholines in the serum of healthy individuals by combined gas–liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry in our present experiments. A method is described for the separation and quantitation of molecular species of phosphatidylcholine in human serum. Total phosphatidylcholine is isolated from lipids extracted from the serum with chloroform–methanol (2:1) by reversed-phase liquid–liquid extraction and subjected to reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with a discontinuous descending gradient of water. Separation is monitored by fluorometry (340/460 nm) and absorption at 205 nm, if required. Up to 25 different molecular species of phosphatidylcholine may be quantified with a satisfactory reproducibility (±5–8%). Data on the distribution of individual molecular species in phosphatidylcholine of 53 normal serums are presented. The method may be used for quantitation of these phospholipids also in other biological materials (cell lines, leukemic cells from patients), and on a micropreparative scale to isolate individual compounds. The speed of separation as well as a satisfactory reproducibility are its principal advantages.  相似文献

A new method is described for the quantitation of 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC), the immediate precursor of ethylene in plants. [2,2,3,3,-2H4]ACC has been synthesized and used as an internal standard for selected ion monitoring/isotope dilution quantitation of this compound in ripening tomato fruit. These data are compared with those derived from the widely used indirect oxidative ACC assay (which underestimated the ACC levels by between two- and fourfold). The greater accuracy, sensitivity (100X), and specificity of the mass spectrometric method will be of considerable benefit to those interested in factors which control ACC and ultimately ethylene levels since it is believed that ACC synthesis and its oxidative metabolism to ethylene are the key points at which ethylene biosynthesis is regulated.  相似文献

An assay, based on pre-column derivatization and micro-high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry, was developed for the determination of the GABAB agonist CGP 44532 in rat plasma. CGP 44532, a highly polar 3-amino-2(S)-hydroxypropylmethylphosphinic acid, presented difficulties in developing a chromatographic method for the analysis of the compound in rat plasma. Instead of analyzing the target compound directly, it was derivatized prior to separation to a 4-nitrobenzylcarbamate isopropyliden derivative. In order to reach the required quantitation limit, on-line solid-phase extraction was utilized for sample clean-up and reversed-phase micro-column high-performance liquid chromatography, for separation of the plasma samples. The separated compounds were detected by negative electrospray tandem mass spectrometry in selected reaction monitoring mode. The derivatives show good chromatographic and mass spectrometric properties and both the target compound and the internal standard, could be eluted as symmetrical peaks with good signal/noise ratio. The MS–MS detection was selective and sensitive due to the straight fragmentation pattern. After injection of 200-μl sample aliquots, the limit of quantification was 10 ng ml−1. The analytical assay is useable in the range of 10–500 ng ml−1.  相似文献

A sensitive LC–MS quantitation method of cetrorelix, a novel gonadotropin releasing hormone (GnRH) antagonist, was developed. Plasma and urine samples to which brominated cetrorelix was added as an internal standard (I.S.) were purified by solid-phase extraction with C8 cartridges. The chromatographic separation was achieved on a C18 reversed-phase column using acetonitrile–water–trifluoroacetic acid (35:65:0.1, v/v/v) as mobile phase. The mass spectrometric analysis was performed by electrospray ionization mode with negative ion detection, and the adduct ions of cetrorelix and I.S. with trifluoroacetic acid were monitored in extremely high mass region of m/z 1543 and 1700, respectively. The lower limit of quantitation was 1.00 ng per 1 ml of plasma and 2.09 ng per 2 ml of urine, and the present method was applied to the analysis of pharmacokinetics of cetrorelix in human during phase 1 clinical trial.  相似文献

A rapid, sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatography–electrospray tandem mass spectrometric method has been developed for the determination of gestrinone (R 2323) in human serum using mifepristone (RU 486) as an internal standard. R 2323 was extracted from human serum by an ether extraction procedure. Multiple reaction monitoring was used to detect R 2323 and RU 486. The calibration curve was linear over the range of 3.5–177 ng/ml (r2≥0.99) with the limitation of detection of 0.8 ng/ml. The intra-day precision and accuracy, expressed as C.V. and RE, ranged from 2.3–13.7 to −4.8–3.0%. The inter-day precision and accuracy ranged from 5.5–14.8 to −6.7–3.1%. The mean recovery was 91.0% for R 2323, and 90.6% for the internal standard. The method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of R 2323.  相似文献

A high throughput analytical method using a column switching high-performance liquid chromatography combined with isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry (column switching-HPLC–MS/MS) was developed to simultaneously quantitate the concentrations of 7 perfluoroalkyl acids (PFAAs) in serum and 3 PFAAs in breast milk samples. The sample preparation includes addition of the isotope-labelled internal standard solution to breast milk and serum, enzymatic hydrolysis and filtration of milk samples, precipitation of proteins and analysis by column switching-HPLC–MS/MS. The limits of quantitation ranged from 0.1 to 0.4 μg/l for serum and 0.02 to 0.15 μg/l for breast milk samples. The method accuracies ranged between 73.2% and 100.2% for the different analytes at two concentrations in PFAAs spiked samples. The validity of the method was confirmed by analysing 20 serum and 20 breast milk samples.  相似文献
