A liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed for the simultaneous qualitative and quantitative determination of sphingolipid metabolites such as ceramides, sphingisine, sphinganine, sphingomyelins, and ceramide 1-phosphates in the extracts of human promyelocytic leukemia cells (HL-60). The assay uses C(4) ceramide as an internal standard; simple liquid extraction; a short XTerra MS C(18) (3 microm, 50 mm x2.0 mm) column; a gradient mobile phase of 5mM ammonium formate (pH 4.0)/methanol/tetrahydrofuran (5/2/3-->1/2/7); mass spectrometric detection using electrospray ionization. This LC-MS/MS method allowed the identification of 22 sphingolipid derivatives at pmol levels. In addition, this technique was successfully applied to analyze the changes of the sphingolipids profiles in cancer cells treated with apoptosis inducing agents, C(2) ceramide and H(2)O(2). 相似文献

Glycerophosphocholines (GPCho's) are known to cause liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) matrix ionization effects during the analysis of biological samples (i.e. blood, plasma). We have developed a convenient new method, which we refer to as "in-source multiple reaction monitoring" (IS-MRM), for detecting GPCho's during LC-MS/MS method development. The approach uses high energy in-source collisionally induced dissociation (CID) to yield trimethylammonium-ethyl phosphate ions (m/z 184), which are formed from mono- and disubstituted GPCho's. The resulting ion is selected by the first quadrupole (Q1), passed through the collision cell (Q2) in the presence of collision gas at low energy to minimize fragmentation, and m/z 184 selected by the third quadrupole. This approach can be combined with standard multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) transitions with little compromise in sensitivity during method development and sample analysis. Hence, this approach was used to probe ionization matrix effects in plasma samples. The resulting information was employed to develop LC-MS/MS analyses for drugs and their metabolites with cycle times less than 5 min. 相似文献

A sensitive and selective method based on liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) has been developed for the quantitative determination of loperamide in human plasma. Automated solid-phase extraction (SPE) on disposable extraction cartridges (DEC) is used to isolate the compounds from the biological matrix and to prepare a cleaner sample before injection and analysis in the LC-MS/MS system. After conditioning, the plasma sample is loaded on the DEC filled with endcapped ethyl silica (C2(EC)) and washed twice with water. The analytes are therefore eluted by dispensing methanol. The eluate is then collected and added with ammonium acetate solution in order to inject an aliquot of this final extract in the LC-MS/MS system. On-line LC-MS/MS system using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) has been developed for the determination of loperamide. The separation is obtained on a octadecylsilica based stationary phase using a mobile phase consisting in a mixture of methanol and 5mM ammonium acetate solution (25:75, v/v). Clonazepam is used as internal standard (IS). The MS/MS ion transitions monitored are m/z 477--> 266 and 316--> 270 for loperamide and clonazepam, respectively. The most appropriate regression model of the response function as well as the limit of quantitation were first selected during the pre-validation step. These latter criteria were then assessed during the formal validation step. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) was around 50 pg/ml for loperamide. The method was also validated with respect to recovery, precision, trueness, accuracy and linearity. 相似文献

This review article summarizes the recent progress on bioanalytical LC-MS/MS methods using underivatized silica columns and aqueous/organic mobile phases. Various types of polar analytes were extracted by using protein precipitation (PP), liquid/liquid extraction (LLE) or solid-phase extraction (SPE) and were then analyzed using LC-MS/MS on the silica columns. Use of silica columns and aqueous/organic mobile phases could significantly enhance LC-MS/MS method sensitivity, due to the high organic content in the mobile phase. Thanks to the very low backpressure generated from the silica column with low aqueous/high organic mobile phases, LC-MS/MS methods at high flow rates are feasible, resulting in significant timesaving. Because organic solvents have weaker eluting strength than water, direct injection of the organic solvent extracts from the reversed-phase solid-phase extraction onto the silica column was possible. Gradient elution on the silica columns using aqueous/organic mobile phases was also demonstrated. Contrary to what is commonly perceived, the silica column demonstrated superior column stability. This technology can be a valuable supplement to the reversed-phase LC-MS/MS. 相似文献

A liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method (LC-MS/MS) for the quantitative determination of rifaximin in human plasma was developed and validated. In the developed procedure, metoprolol was added to human plasma as an internal standard (IS) and acetonitrile was used to precipitate the plasma proteins before LC-MS/MS analysis. Chromatographic separation was obtained on a RESTEK Pinnacle C18 column (50 mm x 2.1mm, 5 microm) with a mobile phase consisted of ammonium acetate solution (15 mM, pH 4.32) as buffer A and methanol as mobile phase B. Quantification was performed in positive mode using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of the transitions m/z 786.1-->754.1 for rifaximin and m/z 268.3-->116.1 for the IS. The assay has been validated over the concentration range of 0.5-10 ng/ml (r=0.9992) based on the analysis of 0.2 ml of plasma. The assay accuracy was between 98.2% and 109%. The within-day and between-day precision was better than 3.9% and 8.9% at three concentration levels. The freeze-thaw stability was also investigated and it was found that both rifaximin and the IS were quite stable. This method provides a rapid, sensitive, specific and robust tool for the quantitative determination of rifaximin in human plasma, which is especially useful for the pharmacokinetic study of rifaximin. 相似文献

A rapid method for the quantification of amiodarone and desethylamiodarone in animal plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with UV detection (HPLC-UV) is presented. The sample preparation includes a simple deproteinisation step with acetonitrile. In addition, a sensitive method for the quantification of amiodarone and desethylamiodarone in horse plasma and urine using high-performance liquid chromatography combined with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) is described. The sample preparation includes a solid-phase extraction (SPE) with a SCX column. Tamoxifen is used as an internal standard for both chromatographic methods. Chromatographic separation is achieved on an ODS Hypersil column using isocratic elution with 0.01% diethylamine and acetonitrile as mobile phase for the HPLC-UV method and with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile as mobile phase for the LC-MS/MS method. For the HPLC-UV method, good linearity was observed in the range 0-5 microg ml(-1), and in the range 0-1 microg ml(-1) for the LC-MS/MS method. The limit of quantification (LOQ) was set at 50 and 5 ng ml(-1) for the HPLC-UV method and the LC-MS/MS method, respectively. For the UV method, the limit of detection (LOD) was 15 and 10 ng ml(-1) for amiodarone and desethylamiodarone, respectively. The LODs of the LC-MS/MS method in plasma were much lower, i.e. 0.10 and 0.04 ng ml(-1) for amiodarone and desethylamiodarone, respectively. The LODs obtained for the urine samples were 0.16 and 0.09 ng ml(-1) for amiodarone and desethylamiodarone, respectively. The methods were shown to be of use in horses. The rapid HPLC-UV method was used for therapeutic drug monitoring after amiodarone treatment, while the LC-MS/MS method showed its applicability for single dose pharmacokinetic studies. 相似文献

We investigated the application of 1-alkylamines, as additives to the mobile phase, to a quantification method for ubiquinone-9 (CoQ9) and ubiquinone-10 (CoQ10) in rat thigh muscle and heart using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). In the optimization of the analytical method, we found that 1-alkylamines mixed with CoQ9 and CoQ10 in the turbo ion sprayed solution formed the 1-alkylammonium adduct molecules of these compounds during the ionization process and that the intensity of the adduct ions was considerably higher than that of the protonated molecules ([M+H]+) of these compounds. Furthermore, we investigated a variety of 1-alkylamines in the mobile phase for LC-MS/MS analysis to select the most appropriate 1-alkylamine for higher sensitivities of CoQ9 and CoQ10. After these examinations, we found that methylamine was the most suitable additive for the mobile phase, allowing a 12.5-fold gain in signal intensity in the full ion mass spectrum compared with that without methylamine. The internal standard (IS) used was ubiquinone-11 (CoQ11) for each analyte. The analytes and IS were extracted with methanol from the tissue homogenates at neutral pH and were injected into an LC-MS/MS with a turbo ion spray interface. The calibration curves for CoQ9 (5-500 microg/g in thigh muscle and 50-10,000 microg/g in heart) and CoQ10 (1-500 microg/g in thigh muscle and 10-10,000 microg/g in heart) showed good linearity. The method was precise; the relative standard deviations of the method for rat thigh muscle were not more than 13.5 and 9.0% for CoQ9 and CoQ10, respectively, and those for rat heart were not more than 6.7 and 5.4% for CoQ9 and CoQ10, respectively. The accuracies of the method for both rat thigh muscle and heart were good, with the deviations between the nominal concentration and calculated concentration of CoQ9 and CoQ10 typically being within 12.3 and 4.3%, respectively. This method provided reliable concentration levels for CoQ9 and CoQ10 in rat thigh muscle and heart. 相似文献

The current "shotgun" proteomic analysis, strong cation exchange-RPLC-MS/MS system, is a widely used method for proteome research. Currently, it is not suitable for complicated protein sample analysis, like mammal tissues or cells. To increase the protein identification confidence and number, an additional separation dimension for sample fractionation is necessary to be coupled prior to current multi-dimensional protein identification technology (MudPIT). In this work, SEC was elaborately selected and applied for sample prefractionation in consideration of its non-bias against sample and variety of choice of mobile phases. The analysis of the global lysate of normal human liver tissue sample provided by the China Human Liver Proteome Project, were performed to compare the proteome coverage, sequence coverage (peptide per protein identification) and protein identification efficiency in MudPIT, 3-D LC-MS/MS identification strategy with preproteolytic and postproteolytic fractionation. It was demonstrated that 3-D LC-MS/MS utilizing protein level fractionation was the most effective method. A MASCOT search using the MS/MS results acquired by QSTAR(XL) identified 1622 proteins from 3-D LC-MS/MS identification approaches. A primary analysis on molecular weight, pI and grand average hydrophobicity value distribution of the identified proteins in different approaches was made to further evaluate the 3-D LC-MS/MS analysis strategy. 相似文献

6-Aminobutylphthalide (ABP) is a new drug candidate which is currently being developed for the treatment of cerebral ischemia. The pharmacokinetics and metabolism of ABP were studied using in situ microdialysis sampling in the brains of awake freely-moving rats. Two LC-MS/MS methods were used for the quantitative and qualitative analysis of microdialysate. For comparison and confirmation, brain tissue samples were also analyzed by LC-MS/MS and GC/MS. The results described provide more authentic information in pharmacokinetics and metabolism at the site of action by using the coupling of microdialysis to LC-MS/MS technique than the traditional sampling methods. 相似文献

A method has been developed for the quantitative profiling of over twenty nucleotides and related phosphorylated species using ion-pair reversed-phase liquid chromatography hyphenated to negative ion tandem electrospray mass spectrometry. The influence of mobile phase pH and ion-pairing agent concentration were assessed to optimise separation and peak shapes. Full quantitative analysis was obtained for the nucleotides by reference to structurally related calibration standards. The developed method was applied to profile changes in nucleotides and related compounds in monolayer cultured Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells expressing the beta(2) adrenoceptor when exposed to pharmacological stimuli. These experiments demonstrate the potential of the LC-MS/MS method to detect changes in nucleotide drug targets as well as the simultaneous monitoring of levels of other nucleotides. 相似文献

A simple and highly sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) method was developed to compare endogenous cannabinoid levels in nematodes and in brains of rats and humans, with and without prior exposure to ethanol. After liquid-liquid extraction of the lipid fraction from homogenized samples, a reversed-phase sub 2 μm column was used for separating analytes with an isocratic mobile phase. Deuterated internal standards were used in the analysis, and detection was made by triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). Ionization was performed with positive electrospray ionization (ESI). The nematode Caenorhabditis elegans fat-3 mutant, that lacks the necessary enzyme to produce arachidonic acid, the biologic precursor to 2-arachidonoyl glycerol and anandamide, was used as an analyte-free surrogate material for selectivity and calibration studies. The matrix effect was further investigated by in-source multiple reaction monitoring (IS-MRM) and standard addition studies. Selectivity studies demonstrated that the method was free from matrix effects. Good accuracy and precision were obtained for concentrations within the calibration range of 0.4-70 nM and 40-11,000 nM for monitored N-acylethanolamides (NAEs) and acyl glycerols, respectively. 相似文献

The residues of sulfonamides (SAs) in the foods of animal origin are of the major concern because they are harmful to the consumer's health and could induce pathogens to develop resistance. Rapid and efficient determination methods are urgently in need. A quantitative high performance liquid chromatography method (HPLC) and a confirmative liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of 18 sulfonamides such as sulfamidinum, sulfanilamide, sulfisomidine, sulfadiazine, sulfapyridine, sulfathiazole, sulfamerazine, sulfadimidine, sulfamethoxypyridazine, sulfamethoxydiazine, sulfisoxazole, sulfachloropyridazine, sulfamethoxazole, sulfamonomethoxine, sulfadoxine, sulfaclozine, sulfadimethoxine, sulfaquinoxaline in the muscles, livers and kidneys of swine, bovine and chicken were developed and validated. The sample preparation procedures included a pressurized liquid extraction (PLE) with acetonitrile conducted at elevated temperature (70°C) and pressure (1400 psi). After clean-up with hydrophilic-lipophilic balance cartridge, the extraction solution was concentrated and analyzed by HPLC and LC-MS/MS analysis. 18 SAs were separated by the HPLC with a Zorbax SB-Aq-C18 column and the mobile phase of methanol/acetonitrile/1% acetic acid with a gradient system. The wavelength of UV for the HPLC detection was set at 285 nm. The LC-MS/MS analysis was achieved with a Hypersil Golden column and the mobile phase of acetonitrile and 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution with two gradient systems. The Limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantitation (LOQ) were 3 μg/kg and 10 μg/kg, respectively, for both of the HPLC and LC-MS/MS. Linearity was obtained with an average coefficient of determination (R) higher than 0.9980 over a dynamic range from the LOQ value up to 5000 μg/kg. The recoveries of the methods range from 71.1% to 118.3% with the relative standard derivation less than 13%. The peaks of interest with no interferences were observed throughout the chromatographic run. The sample pretreatment provided efficient extraction and cleanup that enables a sensitive and rugged determination of 18 SAs, the obtained results revealed that PLE, in comparison with other sample preparation methods applied, has significantly higher efficacy for SAs isolation from animal tissues. 相似文献

We established an improved method for quantification of phosphatidylcholine (PC) and lysophosphatidylcholine (LPC) molecular species in neonatal serum using high-performance liquid chromatography coupled tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). A multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode of positive ionization for MS/MS was used. The method involved purification of phospholipids by solid phase extraction (SPE) from a 20-microl minimum specimen of serum. The assayed values of authentic 16:0-LPC and 18:0-LPC showed a linear response, and our quantitative results showed high precision for the all species of PC and LPC. Then, we quantified PC and LPC in adult and neonatal serum and compared them. Day 0-1 neonatal serum 16:0-, 18:0-, 18:1-, 18:2-LPC levels were significantly lower than adult ones. All species LPC levels in the day 0-1 neonates were significantly lower than day 4-8 neonates. Day 0-1 neonatal serum 16:0/18:2-, 18:0/18:2-PC levels were significantly lower than adult ones. Our method is advantageous for precise assessments of the relationships between PCs/LPCs levels and neonatal infectious diseases. 相似文献

A direct liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for measurement of urinary Delta(9)-tetrahydrocannabinol carboxylic acid (THCA) was developed. The method involved dilution of the urine sample with water containing (2)H(9)-deuterated analogue as internal standard, hydrolysis with ammonia, reversed phase chromatography using a Waters ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) equipment with gradient elution, negative electrospray ionization, and monitoring of two product ions in selected reaction monitoring mode. The measuring range was 2-1000 ng/mL for THCA, and the intra- and inter-assay imprecision, expressed as the coefficient of variation, was below 5%. Influence from urine matrix on ionization efficiency was noted in infusion experiments, but was compensated for by the internal standard. Comparison with established gas chromatography-mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry methods in authentic patient samples demonstrated accuracy in both qualitative and quantitative results. A small difference in mean ratios (~15%) may be explained by the use of different hydrolysis procedures between methods. In conclusion, the high efficiency LC-MS/MS method was capable of accurately identify and quantify THCA in urine with a capacity of 14 samples per hour. 相似文献

Isotopic labeling of cysteine residues with acrylamide was previously utilized for relative quantitation of proteins by MALDI-TOF. Here, we explored and compared the application of deuterated and (13)C isotopes of acrylamide for quantitative proteomic analysis using LC-MS/MS and high-resolution FTICR mass spectrometry. The method was applied to human serum samples that were immunodepleted of abundant proteins. Our results show reliable quantitation of proteins across an abundance range that spans 5 orders of magnitude based on ion intensities and known protein concentration in plasma. The use of (13)C isotope of acrylamide had a slightly greater advantage relative to deuterated acrylamide, because of shifts in elution of deuterated acrylamide relative to its corresponding nondeuterated compound by reversed-phase chromatography. Overall, the use of acrylamide for differentially labeling intact proteins in complex mixtures, in combination with LC-MS/MS provides a robust method for quantitative analysis of complex proteomes. 相似文献

Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) analysis of methanol extracts of Oenanthe crocata roots revealed that oenanthotoxin co-eluted with another major polyalkyne, 2,3-dihydro-oenanthotoxin, using the existing high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method (isocratic elution from C18 with aqueous methanol) for investigating Oenanthe poisoning. Positive ES or APCI gave [(M+H)-H(2)O](+) and its methanol adduct as major ion species for oenanthotoxin, whereas 2,3-dihydro-oenanthotoxin formed [M+H](+) and its methanol adduct. The two polyalkynes could be chromatographically resolved on C18 by gradient elution with aqueous acetonitrile. This provides superior analysis for oenanthotoxin using HPLC with photodiode array (PDA) detection alone, but for LC-MS/MS aqueous acetonitrile was less suitable due to poor ionisation and, with APCI, an increase in the relative abundance of a [M-1](+) species, which could confuse compound assignment. HPLC-PDA and LC-MS/MS methods using an aqueous acetonitrile or aqueous methanol mobile phase, respectively, were successful when applied to the analysis of the stomach contents of a pony suspected to have eaten O. crocata. Relevant product ion spectra, by ion trap MS/MS, accurate mass data and complete sets of (1)H and (13)C NMR spectral assignments are given for the two compounds. 相似文献

A rapid, sensitive and selective LC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the quantification of aniracetam in human plasma using estazolam as internal standard (IS). Following liquid-liquid extraction, the analytes were separated using a mobile phase of methanol-water (60:40, v/v) on a reverse phase C18 column and analyzed by a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode using the respective [M+H]+ ions, m/z 220-->135 for aniracetam and m/z 295-->205 for the IS. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 0.2-100 ng/mL for aniracetam in human plasma. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 0.2 ng/mL with a relative standard deviation of less than 15%. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve range. The validated LC-MS/MS method has been successfully applied to study the pharmacokinetics of aniracetam in healthy male Chinese volunteers. 相似文献

2-Hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD), a widely used excipient for drug formulation, has emerged as an investigational new drug for the treatment of Niemann-Pick type C1 (NPC1) disease, a neurodegenerative cholesterol storage disorder. Development of a sensitive quantitative LC-MS/MS assay to monitor the pharmacokinetics (PKs) of HP-β-CD required for clinical trials has been challenging owing to the dispersity of the HP-β-CD. To support a phase 1 clinical trial for ICV delivery of HP-β-CD in NPC1 patients, novel methods for quantification of HP-β-CD in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) using LC-MS/MS were developed and validated: a 2D-LC-in-source fragmentation-MS/MS (2D-LC-IF-MS/MS) assay and a reversed phase ultra performance LC-MS/MS (RP-UPLC-MS/MS) assay. In both assays, protein precipitation and “dilute and shoot” procedures were used to process plasma and CSF, respectively. The assays were fully validated and in close agreement, and allowed determination of PK parameters for HP-β-CD. The LC-MS/MS methods are ∼100-fold more sensitive than the current HPLC assay, and were successfully employed to analyze HP-β-CD in human plasma and CSF samples to support the phase 1 clinical trial of HP-β-CD in NPC1 patients. 相似文献

The potential importance of the methylation cycle during embryonic development necessitates the establishment of methodology to detect alterations in the relative abundance of s-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and s-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) in an embryonic experimental system. We have developed a precise and sensitive method for measurement of SAM and SAH based on liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in single neurulation-stage mouse embryos. Use of a penta-fluorinated high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) stationary phase gave enhanced sensitivity due to optimal ionisation in organic mobile phase and increased retention time compared to standard reversed-phase separation. Calibration curves suitable for the analysis of neurulation-stage mouse embryos (SAM 0.02-25.0microM, SAH 0.01-10.0microM) were linear (r(2)>0.997) with limits of detection for SAM and SAH of 10 and 2.5nmol/L, respectively. 相似文献

A confirmatory and quantitative method of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) combined with a pressure liquid extraction (PLE) was developed for the determination of 11 benzimidazole and 10 metabolites of albendazole, fenbendazole and mebendazole in the muscles and livers of swine, cattle, sheep and chicken. For sample preparation, we used an automated technique of PLE method. The optimum extraction conditions were obtained using an 11 ml Accelerated Solvent Extraction (ASE) cells, acetonitrile/hexane as the extraction solvent. HPLC analysis was performed on a C18 column with gradient elution using acetonitrile and 5 mmol l(-1) formic ammonium as mobile phase. The analytes were detected in the positive ion multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode by the LC-ESI-MS/MS analysis. The recoveries of benzimidazole (BZDs) spiked at the levels of 0.5 μg kg(-1) ranged from 70.1% to 92.7%; the between-day relative standard deviations were no more than 10%. The limits of quantification were 0.02-0.5 μg kg(-1). The optimized method was successfully applied to monitor real samples containing BZDs, demonstrating the method to be simple, fast, robust and suitable for identification and quantification of BZDs residues in animal products. 相似文献
