A novel derivatization method employing 1,2-dimethylimidazole-4-sulfonyl chloride (DMISC) to improve the mass spectrometric response for phenolic compounds in liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) is described. Several environmentally relevant compounds, including chloro-, aryl- and alkylphenols, steroidal estrogens, and hydroxy-polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OHPAHs), were selected to evaluate this technique. A facile derivatization procedure employing DMISC results in dimethylimidazolesulfonyl (DMIS) derivatives that are stable in aqueous solution. These DMIS derivatives produced intense [M+H](+) ions in positive-ion LC-ESI-MS. The product ion spectra of the [M+H](+) ions of simple phenols were dominated by ions representing the DMIS and dimethylimidazole moieties, whereas product ion spectra of the DMIS derivatives of OHPAHs with three or more fused aromatic rings showed prominent ArO(+) ions, the relative intensity of which increased with the number of rings. The DMIS derivatives of the selected phenolic compounds showed excellent chromatographic properties. To substantiate the utility of derivatization with DMISC, an analytical method employing enzyme hydrolysis, solid phase extraction, derivatization with DMISC, and analysis by LC-ESI-MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring for determination in human urine of 1-hydroxypyrene, a widely used biomarker for the assessment of human exposure to PAHs, was developed and validated. 相似文献

Highly sensitive determination of estrone and estradiol in human serum by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
A highly sensitive and specific quantification method of estrone and estradiol in human serum was described based upon the use of picolinoyl derivatization and liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) in a positive mode. Estrogens were treated with picolinoyl chloride hydrochloride or picolinic acid and 2-methyl-6-nitrobenzoic anhydride followed by a solid-phase extraction with ODS cartridge. Picolinoyl derivatization proceeded quantitatively even in a microscale, and the picolinoyl esters provided simple positive ESI-mass spectra showing [M+H](+) as base peaks for these estrogens. The picolinoyl derivatives of these estrogens showed 100-fold higher detection response compared to underivatized intact molecules by LC-ESI-MS (selected reaction monitoring). Using this derivatization, estrogens spiked in the charcoal treated human serum samples were analyzed with limit of quantification (LOQ), intra-day accuracy and precision of 1.0pg/ml, 96.0% and 9.9% for estrone, and 0.5pg/ml, 84.4% and 12.8% for estradiol, respectively. Estrone and estradiol added to the crude serum samples were recovered with comparable LOQ and accuracy obtained for the charcoal treated serum samples as well. 相似文献

Morphine is present in varying amounts as an endogenous product in human urine. Derivatization of morphine contained in urine with dansyl chloride yields a known product, which can be quantified by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry with high selectivity and sensitivity. Urine samples of 51 healthy individuals were spiked with stable-isotope labeled morphine, hydrolyzed and subjected to solid phase extraction followed by derivatization of morphine with dansyl chloride. The dansyl derivatives of naturally occurring morphine and deuterated internal standard were then detected by liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Using the [N-CD(3)]-labeled internal standard and solid-phase extraction, a limit of detection of 35 fmol/ml (10 pg/ml) and a limit of quantification of 87.5 fmol/ml (25 pg/ml) was determined for morphine in human urine. This new LC-MS/MS method allowed the detection of endogenous morphine in human urine of 51 volunteers with an average value of 156.4 fmol/ml (44.7 ng/ml). 相似文献

To study the roles of estrogens and estrogen metabolites (EMs) in breast carcinogenesis, we reported a quantitative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method utilizing selective reaction mode (SRM) to analyze estrogens and EMs in the extracellular and intracellular compartments of endogenous MCF-7 breast cancer cells through simple ethyl acetate (EA) extraction and dansyl chloride derivatization. Under a 35-min LC gradient elution on a reversed phase C18 column, the method was shown to simultaneously quantify 12 estrogens and EMs: estrone (E1) and its 2-, 4-, 16α-hydroxy derivatives (2-OHE1, 4-OHE1, 16α-OHE1), and 2-, 4-methoxy derivatives (2-MeOE1, 4-MeOE1); 17β-estradiol (E2) and its 2-, 4-hydroxy derivative (2-OHE2, 4-OHE2) and 2- and 4-methoxy derivatives (2-MeOE2 and 4-MeOE2); and estriol (E3), using ethinylestradiol (EE2) as the internal standard (IS). Using a calibration curve-standard addition hybrid method, we were able to determine the amount of estrogens and EMs in not only the treated cells but also the non-treated cells. The limits of quantification (LOQs) were determined to range from 0.05-80 pg on column with an inter-batch accuracy around 72-123% and precision around 1-10%. Results indicated that trace amounts (<0.9 fg/cell) of E1 and E2 were present in both the extra- and intra-cellular compartments under non-treated condition but DMSO could induce E1 and E2 as well as trace amounts (<2.25 fg/cell) of EMs in the cell. E2 treatment substantially increased not only E1 and E2 in the intra-cellular (60 fg/cell) and extra-cellular (3000 fg/cell) compartment but also substantially induced EMs primarily in the extracellular compartment (0.6-25 fg/cell). These data implied that EMs could be quickly generated and distributed to the extracellular compartment by E2 within 24h of treatment and DMSO solvent could potentially induce slight estrogen effects. 相似文献

Identification of ester-linked fatty acids of bacterial endotoxins by negative ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
Negative ion fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry (NI-FAB/MS) was employed to characterize the fatty acids esterified to the lipid A backbone of lipopolysaccharides (LPS) of gram-negative bacteria. LPS and their chemically derived lipid A produced readily detectable fragment ions characteristic of fatty acids. The NI-FAB/MS method is specific, yielding ions indicative of ester- but not of amide-bound fatty acids. The mass spectra of Enterobacteriaceae LPS revealed the presence of lauric (m/z 199), myristic (m/z 227), palmitic (m/z 255), and 3-hydroxymyristic (m/z 243) acids. Pseudomonas aeruginosa LPS gave distinctive fragment ions indicative of 3-hydroxydecanoic (m/z 187), lauric, and 2-hydroxylauric (m/z 215) acids. The Neisseria gonorrhoeae LPS could be distinguished from the others due to the presence of ester-linked 3-hydroxylauric acid. All of the LPS gave abundant ions of m/z 177 and 159, which were derived from diphosphoryl substituents. The use of NI-FAB/MS thus allowed rapid identification of lipid A esterified fatty acids without chemical derivatization or gas chromatographic analysis. 相似文献

Determination of 4-hydroxyproline in collagen by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2

Derivatization of 4-hydroxyproline (Hyp) in collagen using trifluoroacetylation and methanol esterification produces two derivatives when analyzed by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The diacyl derivative N,O-bis(trifluoroacetyl)-4-hydroxy-L-proline methyl ester (N,O-TFA-Hyp) formed in this manner has a shorter retention time and different fragmentation pattern by GC/MS as compared to the slower eluting monoacetylated species N-trifluoroacetyl-4-hydroxy-L-proline methyl ester (N-TFA-Hyp). By selected ion monitoring of the appropriate ions of either N,O-TFA-Hyp (m/z 164, 278) or N-TFA-Hyp (m/z 164, 182) efficient quantitation of Hyp in collagen is possible within the broad range of 5-1000 ng with a lower limit of detection of 0.5 ng per injection. Measurement of 18O2 incorporation into collagen is possible by selected ion monitoring of the m/z 182 ion formed only from the monoacetylated derivative, N-TFA-Hyp, produced by methanol solvolysis of the N,O-TFA-Hyp derivative, as proposed herein. 相似文献

Free amino acid quantification by LC-MS/MS using derivatization generated isotope-labelled standards
Johnson DW 《Journal of chromatography. B, Analytical technologies in the biomedical and life sciences》2011,879(17-18):1345-1352
The further development of derivatizing reagents for plasma amino acid quantification by tandem mass spectrometry is described. The succinimide ester of 4-methylpiperazineacetic acid (MPAS), the iTRAQ reagent, was systematically modified to improve tandem mass spectrometer (MS/MS) product ion intensity. 4-Methylpiperazinebutyryl succinimide (MPBS) and dimethylaminobutyryl succinimide (DMABS) afforded one to two orders of magnitude greater MS/MS product ion signal intensity than the MPAS derivative for simple amino acids. CD(3) analogues of the modified derivatizing reagents were evaluated for preparation of amino acid isotope-labelled quantifying standards. Acceptable accuracy and precision was obtained with d(3)-DMABS as the amino acid standards derivatizing reagent. The product ion spectra of the DMABS amino acid derivatives are diagnostic for structural isomers including valine/norvaline, alanine/sarcosine and leucine/isoleucine. Improved analytical sensitivity and specificity afforded by these derivatives may help to establish liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) with derivatization generated isotope-labelled standards a viable alternative to amino acids analysers. 相似文献

A liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS) with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) for the quantification of ergosterol, lanosterol, and squalene was developed to evaluate the combination effects of phenolic compounds with fluconazole on ergosterol biosynthesis in Candida albicans. The three analytes were separated by a column of C18 and were quantified without interference with each other using positive mode tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Molecular ions of ergosterol and lanosterol were detected as the [M+H-H2O]+ ion species at m/z 380 and 410, whereas squalene appeared as the [M+H]+ ion species at m/z 412. On fragmentation of ergosterol, lanosterol, and squalene, the product ions at m/z 69, 149, and 109, respectively, were present as major fragments. These product ions were used for the quantification of them in multiple reaction monitoring acquisition mode. The relationship between signal intensity and the analytes' concentration was linear over the concentration range of 0.05-10 microg/ml. Following the treatment of C. albicans with fluconazole in combination with albicanyl caffeate, resveratrol, and 3,4'-difluorostilbene, respectively, the content of ergosterol in both the sensitive and resistant C. albicans showed depletion, whereas the squalene showed accumulation especially in the sensitive isolates determined with the method developed. 相似文献

Ceruloplasmin has ferroxidase activity and plays an essential role in iron metabolism. In this study, a site-specific glycosylation analysis of human ceruloplasmin (CP) was carried out using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). A tryptic digest of carboxymethylated CP was subjected to LC-ESI-MS/MS. Product ion spectra acquired data-dependently were used for both distinction of the glycopeptides from the peptides using the carbohydrate B-ions, such as m/z 204 (HexNAc) and m/z 366 (HexHexNAc), and identification of the peptide moiety of the glycopeptide based on the presence of the b- and y-series ions derived from the peptide. Oligosaccharide composition was deduced from the molecular weight calculated from the observed mass of the glycopeptide and theoretical mass of the peptide. Of the seven potential N-glycosylation sites, four (Asn119, Asn339, Asn378, and Asn743) were occupied by a sialylated biantennary or triantennary oligosaccharide with fucose residues (0, 1, or 2). A small amount of sialylated tetraantennary oligosaccharide was detected. Exoglycosidase digestion suggested that fucose residues were linked to reducing end GlcNAc in biantennary oligosaccharides and to reducing end and/or alpha1-3 to outer arms GlcNAc in triantennary oligosaccharides and that roughly one of the antennas in triantennary oligosaccharides was alpha2-3 sialylated and occasionally alpha1-3 fucosylated at GlcNAc. 相似文献

Mass spectrometry of disaccharides in the negative-ion mode frequently generates product anions of m/z 221. With glucose-containing disaccharides, dissociation of isolated m/z 221 product ions in a Paul trap yielded mass spectra that easily differentiated between both anomeric configurations and ring forms of the ions. These ions were shown to be glucosyl-glycolaldehydes through chemical synthesis of their standards. By labeling the reducing carbonyl oxygen of disaccharides with 18O to mass discriminate between monosaccharides, it was established that the m/z 221 ions are comprised solely of an intact nonreducing sugar with a two-carbon aglycon derived from the reducing sugar, regardless of the disaccharide linkage position. This enabled the anomeric configuration and ring form of the ion to be assigned and the location of the ion to the nonreducing side of a glycosidic linkage to be ascertained. Detailed studies of experimental factors necessary for reproducibility in a Paul trap demonstrated that the unique dissociation patterns that discriminate between the isomeric m/z 221 ions could be obtained from month-to-month in conjunction with an internal energy-input calibrant ion that ensures reproducible energy deposition into isolated m/z 221 ions. In addition, MS/MS fragmentation patterns of disaccharide m/z 341 anions in a Paul trap enabled linkage positions to be assigned, as has been previously reported with other types of mass spectrometers. 相似文献

A method using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) was developed for the simultaneous analysis of nine chlorogenic acids (CGAs), three isomers each of caffeoylquinic acids (CQAs), feruloylquinic acids (FQAs) and dicaffeoylquinic acids (dCQAs), and their two metabolites, caffeic acid (CA) and ferulic acid (FA), in human plasma. In simultaneous multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) measurements using ESI-MS/MS with a negative ion mode, a deprotonated molecular ion derived from each of the 11 molecules was used as a precursor ion while three diagnostic product ions characteristic for each were selected for the qualitative analysis. To obtain maximal intensities for all diagnostic product ions, the collision energy was optimized for each one. LC separation was achieved under conditions of a reversed-phase Inertsil ODS-2 column combined with a gradient elution system using 50mM acetic acid with 3% acetonitrile aqueous solution and 50 mM acetic acid with 100% acetonitrile. In the quantitative analysis, one of the three diagnostic product ions for each of the 11 molecules was selected. Application of simultaneous LC-ESI-MS/MS MRM measurements to analyze the 11 standards spiked into blank human plasma indicated that all diagnostic product ions were detected without any interference, and that the sensitivity, linearity and recovery of this method were acceptable. When using this method to analyze those 11 molecules in the plasma after oral ingestion of 250 ml of a drink containing a green coffee bean extract (300 mg CGAs), all 11 molecules were identified and CQAs, FQAs and FA were quantified. CQAs, FQAs and dCQAs in human plasma were detected for the first time. This method should be useful to understand the biological and pharmacological effects of CGAs, such as improvement of human hypertension. 相似文献

A method for the quantification of ergosterol by atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APcI) mass spectrometry with direct injection is described. Ergosterol and squalene were ionizable with methanol as the carrier solvent. Using positive-mode tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), ergosterol could be identified unambiguously without interference from structurally related compounds such as lanosterol, cholesterol, and squalene. Molecular ions of ergosterol, lanosterol, and cholesterol were detected as the [M + H - H(2)O](+) ion species, while squalene appeared as the [M + H](+) ion species. Upon fragmentation of the three sterols and squalene, the product ion at m/z 69 was present as one of the major fragments in all four compounds. This product ion was used for the quantification of ergosterol in multiple-reaction-monitoring acquisition mode. The relationship between signal intensity and ergosterol concentration was linear over the concentration range of 0.15 to 5 microg/ml, or 7. 56-252 pmol ergosterol per 20 microl injection. The plasma membrane ergosterol of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae could be quantified reproducibly without the need for prior separation from other lipids or derivatization. Six repeated injections of ergosterol standards at concentrations of 0.95 and 4.25 microg/ml gave standard deviations of 0.031 and 0.084, respectively, and coefficients of variation of 3.33 and 1.98%, respectively. The coefficient of variation for the four independently extracted membrane ergosterol samples was 11.18%. The presence of other lipids in a crude lipid extract did not interfere with the ergosterol determination. Direct injection APcI with multiple reaction monitoring is aconvenient and sensitive method for ergosterol quantification requiring no prior fractionation. 相似文献

After first being analyzed by HPLC, 4 free carotenoids, 15 astaxanthin monoesters, 12 astaxanthin diesters, and 3 astacin monoesters in Haematococcus pluvialis were identified by liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (LC-(APCI)MS). Identification of each compound was based on the characteristic fragment ions of the positive ion mode, negative ion mode, and MS(2). Astaxanthin esters were identified based on the loss of one or two fatty acids. In a positive ion mode, astaxanthin monoesters had characteristic fragment ions at m/z 597 [M+H-fatty acid](+) and m/z 579 and 561 that resulted from a continuous loss of water. The relative intensity of m/z 579 in MS(2) amounted to more than 80% of that of the molecular ion. In astaxanthin diesters, the intensity of m/z 561 occasionally was equal to that of m/z 579, but in general the former, amounting to 50 to 60% or more of the molecular ion, was stronger than the latter, which decreased to 20 to 30% of the molecular ion. In addition, a set of compounds with maximum absorbance at 400 nm, detected by high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array detector (HPLC-DAD), had strong characteristic fragment ions at m/z 871 and 593 in the positive ion mode MS(2). They were presumed to be linolenic acid or an isomer of omega-6-gamma-linolenic acid esters of astacin. 相似文献

Fast atom bombardment/mass spectrometry or liquid secondary ion mass spectrometry provides the capability for direct analysis of steroid conjugates (sulfates, glucuronides) without prior hydrolysis or derivatization. During the analysis of biologic extracts, limitations on the sensitivity of detection arise from the presence of co-extracted material which may suppress or obscure the analyte signal. A procedure is described for the quantitative determination of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate in serum which achieved selective isolation of the analyte using immunoadsorption extraction and highly specific detection using tandem mass spectrometry. A stable isotope-labeled analog [( 2H2]dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate) was used as internal standard. Fast atom bombardment of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate yielded abundant [M-H]- ions that fragmented following collisional activation to give HSO4-; m/z 97. During fast atom bombardment/tandem mass spectrometry of serum extracts, a scan of precursor ions fragmenting to give m/z 97 detected dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and the [2H2]-labeled analog with a selectivity markedly superior to that observed using conventional mass spectrometry detection. Satisfactory agreement was observed between quantitative data obtained in this way and data obtained by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of the heptafluorobutyrates of dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate and [2H2]dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate obtained by direct derivatization. 相似文献

To verify the exposure to nerve gas, a method for detecting human butyrylcholinesterase (BuChE)-nerve gas adduct was developed using LC-electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Purified human serum BuChE was incubated with sarin, soman or VX, and the adduct was purified by sodium dodecylsulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) and digested in gel by treatment with chymotrypsin. The resulting peptide mixture was subjected to LC-ESI-MS. From the chymotryptic digest of untreated human BuChE, one peak corresponding to the peptide fragment containing the active center serine residue was detected on the extracted ion chromatogram at m/z 948.5, and the sequence was ascertained to be "GESAGAASVSL" by MS/MS analysis. From the chymotryptic digest of the human BuChE-sarin adduct, a singly charged peptide peak was detected on the extracted ion chromatogram at m/z 1,069.5, and the sequence was ascertained to be "GEXAGAASVSL" by MS/MS analysis (X denotes isopropylmethylphosphonylated serine). The difference in molecular weight (120.0 Da) between the active center peptide fragments corresponding to the untreated BuChE and BuChE-sarin adduct was assumed to be derived from the addition of an isopropyl methylphosphonyl moiety to the serine residue. The formation of human BuChE adducts with soman, VX and an aged soman adduct was confirmed by detecting the respective active center peptide fragments using LC-ESI-MS. To apply the established method to an actual biological sample, human serum was incubated with VX, and the adduct was purified by procainamide affinity chromatography followed by SDS-PAGE. After chymotryptic in gel digestion, the ethylphosphonylated active center peptide fragment could be detected, and the structure of the residue was ascertained by LC-ESI-MS analysis. 相似文献

A rapid high-performance liquid chromatographic method for determination of the dansyl derivative of pentaazapentacosane (PAPC) pentahydrochloride has been developed. The chromatographic system uses a reversed-phase C8 column, a mobile phase of acetic acid buffer and acetonitrile and UV detection. The dansylation conditions were optimized with a pH of 11.0 and a 20-fold dansyl chloride excess. The yield of dansyl PAPC increased 10-fold as the reaction pH was changed from 9.5 to 10.5. Under derivatization conditions of pH 8.5–11.0 and 1–30-fold excess dansyl chloride only perdansyl PAPC was found. 相似文献

It will be important to determine if the parent and fragment ion intensity results of liquid chromatography, electrospray ionization and tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) experiments have been randomly and independently sampled from a normal population for the purpose of statistical analysis by general linear models and ANOVA. The tryptic parent peptide and fragment ion m/z and intensity data in the mascot generic files from LC-ESI-MS/MS of purified standard proteins, and human blood protein fractionated by partition chromatography, were parsed into a Structured Query Language (SQL) database and were matched with protein and peptide sequences provided by the X!TANDEM algorithm. The many parent and/or fragment ion intensity values were log transformed, tested for normality, and analyzed using the generic Statistical Analysis System (SAS). Transformation of both parent and fragment intensity values by logarithmic functions yielded intensity distributions that closely approximate the log-normal distribution. ANOVA models of the transformed parent and fragment intensity values showed significant effects of treatments, proteins, and peptides, as well as parent versus fragment ion types, with a low probability of false positive results. Transformed parent and fragment intensity values were compared over all sample treatments, proteins or peptides by the Tukey-Kramer Honestly Significant Difference (HSD) test. The approach provided a complete and quantitative statistical analysis of LC-ESI-MS/MS data from human blood. 相似文献

A ganglioside of unknown structure (ganglioside X) was purified from chicken brain at embryonic day 12 (E12) and characterized for its structure. Ganglioside X was reactive with a monoclonal antibody A2B5 and migrated below GH1c on thin-layer chromatography (TLC). Extensive treatment of ganglioside X with Clostridium perfringens sialidase produced a single ganglioside product. This ganglioside was identified as GM1 based upon its chromatographic mobility and reactivity to cholera toxin B subunit and anti-GM1 antibody. Partial hydrolysis of ganglioside X by sialidase generated several degradation products including GH1c, GP1c, and GQ1c. Electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometry (MS) of the permethylated derivative of ganglioside X produced a triple-charged parent ion peak at m/z 1355, which corresponded with the gangliotetraose oligosaccharide structure having seven sialic acids and ceramide with the molecular mass of 566 (as non-methylated form). Collision-induced dissociation (CID)-MS(2) showed fragment ions including those at m/z 1066 and 1931; these two ions matched the structures of (NeuAc)(3)-Gal-Glc-Cer and (NeuAc)(4)-Gal-GalNAc, respectively. These structures were confirmed by CID-MS(3) of the corresponding peaks. Based upon these findings, the structure of ganglioside X was identified as NeuAc-NeuAc-NeuAc-NeuAc-Galbeta1-3GalNAcbeta1-4(NeuAc-NeuAc-NeuAcalpha2-3)Galbeta1-4Glcbeta1-1'Cer. This ganglioside was designated as GS1c. A developmental study demonstrated that GS1c was expressed in chicken brain during a period from E6 to E13 and thereafter decreased rapidly in its concentration. The present study suggests that GS1c may play a specific role in early development of chicken brain. 相似文献

Structural analysis of choline phospholipids by fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
The structures of intact choline phospholipids were determined by positive and negative ion mode fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry, tandem mass spectrometry, and B2/E and B/E constant linked scan mass spectrometry. The molecular weight of the choline lipid could be clearly determined by the appearance of [M + H]+ or [M + Na]+ in the positive ion mode and triplet ions, e.g., [M - 15]-, [M - 60]-, and [M - 86]-, in the negative ion mode. The structures of the triplet ions were assigned to [M - CH3]-, [M - HN(CH3)3]-, and [M - CH2 = CHN(CH3)3]-, respectively, by the MS/MS of each triplet ion, and the origin of the triplet ions was found as the matrix-ion adduct to the target molecule by using the B2/E linked scan technique. The polar group could be identified by the existence of ions indicating glycerophosphocholine and its cleavage products and by the presence of the triplet ions in the negative ion mode. Positional determination of the distribution of constituent fatty acyl groups was carried out by comparing the intensity of deacylated ions from positions 1 and 2 in the positive ion mode and of the ions produced by MS/MS of the triplet ions. From the mass number of the [RCOO]- ion which appeared in the negative ion mode, the molecular weight and degree of unsaturation of the fatty acyl group were determined. The position of double bond(s) in the acyl group was determined from the MS/MS of the [RCOO]- ion. 相似文献

Determination of estrogens in plasma is important in evaluation of effects of some anticancer drugs, such as aromatase inhibitors. However, as reported previously, high performance liquid chromatography–radio immunoassay (HPLC–RIA) and liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) with chemical derivatization require complicated sample preparation. In this study, a highly sensitive and simple method for determination of estrone (E1), 17β-estradiol (E2) and estrone 3-sulfate (E1S) in human plasma has been developed. Following diethylether extraction from plasma, analytes were purified by immunosorbents and then determined by LC–MS/MS using electrospray ionization (ESI). Immunosorbents were prepared by immobilization of specific antibodies raised against each analyte onto solid support. Use of selective immunosorbents in sample preparation removed interference in plasma samples that would cause ionization suppression, and markedly improved the sensitivity of LC–MS/MS for these analytes, without derivatization. Calibration curves of each analyte showed good linearity and reproducibility over the range of 0.05–50 pg/injection for E1, 0.2–50 pg/injection for E2 and 0.05–300 pg/injection for E1S, respectively. The mean values of lower limits of quantification (LLOQ) in human plasma corrected by recovery of deuterated estrogens (internal standard, I.S.) were 0.1892 pg/mL for E1, 0.7064 pg/mL for E2 and 0.3333 pg/mL for E1S, respectively. These LLOQ values were comparable to those previous reported using HPLC–RIA and LC–MS/MS. Using this method, the normal levels of three estrogens in healthy female plasma (n = 5) were determined. The mean values of E1, E2 and E1S were 38.0 pg/mL (range 24.8–53.0), 34.3 pg/mL (22.6–46.6) and 786 pg/mL (163–2080), respectively. The immunoaffinity LC–MS/MS described here allows sensitive and accurate quantification of E1, E2 and E1S without laborious sample preparation. 相似文献
