A new, simple, fast and sensitive method that enables the measurement of four dialkyl phosphates (DAPs) in human head hair is presented in the current study. The dialkyl phosphates, dimethyl phosphate (DMP), diethyl phosphate (DEP), diethyl thiophosphate (DETP) and diethyl dithiophosphate (DEDTP) are non-selective metabolites of the organophosphate pesticides (OPs). The extraction of DAPs from hair matrix was achieved by one step methanolic extraction. Head hair samples from general population and population occupationally exposed to OPs were analysed using gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) after derivatization with pentafluorobenzylbromide. The recovery of the target compounds was estimated at 84.3% for DMP, 116.1% for DEP, 109.0% for DETP and 91.5% for DEDTP. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) and detection (LOD) was 20 and 6 pg/mg for DMP, 10 and 5 pg/mg for DEP and DETP and 5 and 3 pg/mg for DEDTP, respectively. With-run and between-run precision as well as accuracy was estimated. The percentage of positive hair samples for DMP, DEP, DETP and DEDTP for the group of general population was 63.0%, 96.3%, 66.7%, and 70.4% respectively. The samples from the group with occupational exposure were positive for all dialkyl phosphates analysed. The median concentrations for DMP were 165.0 and 181.7 pg/mg, for DEP were 51.2 and 812.9 pg/mg, for DETP were 54.0 and 660.1 pg/mg, and for DEDTP were 40.0 and 60.6 pg/mg for the general population group and the group with occupational exposure respectively. Significant differences in the levels of the total dialkyl phosphates amongst exposed and not exposed groups were observed (p < 0.001). More specifically, the total ethyl phosphate (DEPs) and DAPs median concentrations were 119.5 and 301.5 pg/mg for the general population group and 1498.8 and 1694.4 pg/mg for the group with occupational exposure. 相似文献

Among urinary organophosphorus pesticide (OP) metabolites, dialkyl phosphates (DAPs) have been most often measured as a sensitive biomarker in non-occupational and occupational OP exposure risk assessment. In our conventional method, we have employed a procedure including simple liquid–liquid extraction (diethyl ether/acetonitrile), derivatization (pentafluorobenzylbromide, PFBBr) and clean-up (multi-layer column) for gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) analysis starting from 5-mL urine samples. In this study, we introduce a revised analytical method for urinary DAPs; its main modification was aimed at improving the pre-derivatization dehydration procedure. The limits of detection were approximately 0.15 μg/L for dimethylphosphate (DMP), 0.07 μg/L for diethylphosphate (DEP), and 0.05 μg/L for both dimethylthiophosphate (DMTP) and diethylthiophosphate (DETP) in 2.5-mL human urine samples. Within-run precision (percent of relative standard deviation, %RSD) at the DAP levels varying in the range of 0.5–50 μg/L was 6.0–19.1% for DMP, 3.6–18.3% for DEP, 8.0–25.6% for DMTP and 9.6–27.8% for DETP. Between-run precision at 5 μg/L was below 15.7% for all DAPs. The revised method proved to be feasible to routine biological monitoring not only for occupational OP exposure but also for environmental background levels in the general population. Compared to our previous method, the revised method underscores the importance of adding pre-derivatization anhydration for higher sensitivity and precision. 相似文献

In this study, we developed a safe and sensitive method for the simultaneous determination of urinary dialkylphosphates (DAPs), metabolites of organophosphorus insecticides (OPs), including dimethylphosphate (DMP), diethylphosphate (DEP), dimethylthiophosphate (DMTP), and diethylthiophosphate (DETP), using a pentafluorobenzylbromide (PFBBr) derivatization and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Several parameters were investigated: pH on evaporation, reaction temperature and time for the derivatization, the use of an antioxidant for preventing oxidation, and a clean-up step. The pH was set at 6, adjusted with K2CO3, and the reaction temperature and time of derivatization were 80 degrees C and 30 min, respectively. Sodium disulfite was chosen as an antioxidant. The clean-up step was performed with a Florisil/PSE mini-column to remove the unreacted PFBBr and sample matrix. This established procedure markedly shortened the sample preparation time to only about 3 h, and completely inhibited the unwanted oxidization of dialkylthiophosphates. The limits of determination (LOD) were approximately 0.3 microg/L for DMP, and 0.1 microg/L for DEP, DMTP, and DETP in 5 mL of human urine. Within-series and between-day imprecision for the present method using pooled urine spiked with DAPs was less than 20.6% in the calibration range of 1-300 microg/L, and the mean recovery was 56.7-60.5% for DMP, 78.5-82.7% for DEP, 88.3-103.9% for DMTP, and 84.2-92.4% for DETP. This method detected geometric mean values of the urinary DAPs in Japanese with and without occupational exposure to OPs, 16.6 or 27.4 for DMP, 1.0 or 0.7 for DEP, 1.3 or 2.3 for DMTP, and 1.0 or 1.1 microg/L for DETP, respectively. The present method, which does not require special equipment except for GC-MS, is quick, safe, and sensitive enough to be adopted in routine biological monitoring of non-occupational as well as occupational exposure to OPs. 相似文献

Measurement of organophosphorus (OP) pesticide metabolites in human biological fluids is an important biomarker of pesticides exposure. We measured the urinary excretion of OP pesticide metabolites to evaluate occupational and non-occupational exposure to OP pesticides in the Chinese population in Shanghai (Eastern China). We collected urine samples from 30 exposed workers in a dimethoate emulsion packing division and from 60 healthy adults without any report of occupational exposure. DMP, DMTP, DMDTP, DEP, DEDP and DEDTP were measured by GC-FPD after derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl bromide. The LOQ values (1 mL urine) were 2.0 μg/L for DMP and DETP, 4.0 μg/L for DEP and DEDTP, 8.0 μg/L for DMDTP, and 10.0 μg/L for DMTP. Dimethyl phosphates were detected in the majority of the urine samples, i.e., 90–100% in the exposed group and 80–87% in the control group. The concentration of the urinary diethyl phosphates DEP and DETP was above the LOQ values in 40 and 20% of samples for the exposed group, and in 50 and 30% of the samples for the control group, respectively. DEDTP was not detectable in the urine samples except for a post-shift exposed worker (detection frequency, 6.7%). Median creatinine-adjusted values (μg/g cr.) for DAP in Chinese with pre-shift, post-shift and without occupational exposure to OP were 316, 584 and 170 for DMP, below LOQ, 115 and 114 for DEP, 840, 1730 and 693 for DMTP, and 255, 756 and 135 for DMDTP, respectively. In all subjects, the highest excretion levels were found for DMTP. Several OP pesticide metabolites were frequently detected in urine samples of both populations studied. 相似文献

We report on the quantitative determination of acetaminophen (paracetamol; NAPAP-d(0)) in human plasma and urine by GC-MS and GC-MS/MS in the electron-capture negative-ion chemical ionization (ECNICI) mode after derivatization with pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) bromide (PFB-Br). Commercially available tetradeuterated acetaminophen (NAPAP-d(4)) was used as the internal standard. NAPAP-d(0) and NAPAP-d(4) were extracted from 100-μL aliquots of plasma and urine with 300 μL ethyl acetate (EA) by vortexing (60s). After centrifugation the EA phase was collected, the solvent was removed under a stream of nitrogen gas, and the residue was reconstituted in acetonitrile (MeCN, 100 μL). PFB-Br (10 μL, 30 vol% in MeCN) and N,N-diisopropylethylamine (10 μL) were added and the mixture was incubated for 60 min at 30 °C. Then, solvents and reagents were removed under nitrogen and the residue was taken up with 1000 μL of toluene, from which 1-μL aliquots were injected in the splitless mode. GC-MS quantification was performed by selected-ion monitoring ions due to [M-PFB](-) and [M-PFB-H](-), m/z 150 and m/z 149 for NAPAP-d(0) and m/z 154 and m/z 153 for NAPAP-d(4), respectively. GC-MS/MS quantification was performed by selected-reaction monitoring the transition m/z 150 → m/z 107 and m/z 149 → m/z 134 for NAPAP-d(0) and m/z 154 → m/z 111 and m/z 153 → m/z 138 for NAPAP-d(4). The method was validated for human plasma (range, 0-130 μM NAPAP-d(0)) and urine (range, 0-1300 μM NAPAP-d(0)). Accuracy (recovery, %) ranged between 89 and 119%, and imprecision (RSD, %) was below 19% in these matrices and ranges. A close correlation (r>0.999) was found between the concentrations measured by GC-MS and GC-MS/MS. By this method, acetaminophen can be reliably quantified in small plasma and urine sample volumes (e.g., 10 μL). The analytical performance of the method makes it especially useful in pediatrics. 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

A rapid, sensitive and accurate liquid chromatographic-tandem mass spectrometry method is described for the simultaneous determination of nebivolol and valsartan in human plasma. Nebivolol and valsartan were extracted from plasma using acetonitrile and separated on a C18 column. The mobile phase consisting of a mixture of acetonitrile and 0.05 mM formic acid (50:50 v/v, pH 3.5) was delivered at a flow rate of 0.25 ml/min. Atmospheric pressure ionization (API) source was operated in both positive and negative ion mode for nebivolol and valsartan, respectively. Selected reaction monitoring mode (SRM) using the transitions of m/z 406.1-->m/z 150.9; m/z 434.2-->m/z 179.0 and m/z 409.4-->m/z 228.1 were used to quantify nebivolol, valsartan and internal standard (IS), respectively. The linearity was obtained over the concentration range of 0.01-50.0 ng/ml and 1.0-2000.0 ng/ml and the lower limits of quantitation were 0.01 ng/ml and 1.0 ng/ml for nebivolol and valsartan, respectively. This method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of fixed dose combination (FDC) of nebivolol and valsartan formulation product after an oral administration to healthy human subjects. 相似文献

Pentafluorobenzyl (PFB) bromide (PFB-Br) is a versatile derivatization reagent for numerous classes of compounds. Under electron-capture negative-ion chemical ionization (ECNICI) conditions PFB derivatives of acidic compounds readily and abundantly ionize to produce intense anions due to [M-PFB](-). In the present article we investigated the PFB-Br derivatization of unlabelled acetaminophen (N-acetyl-p-aminophenol, NAPAP-d(0); paracetamol; MW 151) and tetradeuterated acetaminophen (NAPAP-d(4); MW 155) in anhydrous acetonitrile and their GC-ECNICI-MS behavior using methane as the buffer gas. In addition to the expected anions [M-PFB](-) at m/z 150 from NAPAP-d(0) and m/z 154 from NAPAP-d(4), we observed highly reproducibly almost equally intense anions at m/z 149 and m/z 153, respectively. Selected ion monitoring of these ions is suitable for specific and sensitive quantification of acetaminophen in human plasma and urine. Detailed investigations suggest in-source formation of N-acetyl-p-benzoquinone imine (NAPQI; MW 149), the putatively toxic acetaminophen metabolite, from the PFB ether derivative of NAPAP. GC-ECNICI-MS of non-derivatized NAPAP did not produce NAPQI. The peak area ratio of m/z 149 to m/z 150 and of m/z 153 to m/z 154 decreased with increasing ion-source temperature in the range 100-250°C. Most likely, NAPQI formed in the ion-source captures secondary electrons to become negatively charged (i.e., [NAPQI](-)) and thus detectable. Formation of NAPQI was not observed under electron ionization (EI) conditions, i.e., by GC-EI-MS, from derivatized and non-derivatized NAPAP. NAPQI was not detectable in flow injection analysis LC-MS of native NAPAP in positive electrospray ionization (ESI) mode, whereas in negative ESI mode low extent NAPQI formation was observed (<5%). Our results suggest that oxidation of drug derivatives in the ion-sources of mass spectrometers may form intermediates that are produced from activated drugs in enzyme-catalyzed reactions. 相似文献

A simple, sensitive and specific HPLC method with tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) detection has been developed and validated for the simultaneous quantification of tiloronoxim and its major active metabolite, tilorone, in human urine. The analytes, together with metoprolol, which was employed as an internal standard (IS), were extracted with a mixture solvent of chloroform/ethyl ether (1/2, v/v). The chromatographic separation was performed on a narrow-bore reversed phase HPLC column with a gradient mobile phase of methanol/water containing 15 mM ammonium bicarbonate (pH 10.5). The API 3,000 mass spectrometer was equipped with a TurboIonSpray interface and was operated on positive-ion, multiple reaction-monitoring (MRM) mode. The mass transitions monitored were m/z 426.3-->100.0, m/z 411.3-->100.0 and m/z 268.3-->116.1 for tiloronoxim, tilorone and the IS, respectively. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 1-100 ng/ml for both tiloronoxim and tilorone based on the analysis of 0.2 ml aliquots of urine. The lower limit of quantification was 1 ng/ml for both compounds. Acceptable precision and accuracies were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve ranges. Run time of 8 min for each injection made it possible to analyze a high throughput of urine samples. The assay has been successfully used to analyze human urine samples from healthy volunteers. 相似文献

A liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) assay for the determination of bencycloquidium bromide (BCQB) in rat plasma was firstly developed and validated. After addition of 1-ethyl-bencycloquidium bromide as an internal standard (I.S.), the plasma samples were deproteinized with methanol and the supernatant was assayed by LC-ESI-MS. Chromatographic separation was achieved with a Hanbon Lichrospher 5-C18 column. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-40 mM ammonium acetate buffer-formic acid (75:25:0.25, v/v/v) and delivered at the flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. LC-ESI-MS was carried out on a single quadrupole mass spectrometer using electrospray ionization (ESI) and positive selected-ion monitoring (SIM). Target ions were monitored at [M](+)m/z 330.2 for BCQB and [M] (+)m/z 344.2 for I.S. Calibration curve was linear over the range of 3-1500 ng/ml. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was 3.0 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-run relative standard deviations (R.S.D.%) of the assay were less than 7.1 and 12.3%, respectively. The accuracy determined at the concentrations of 3.0, 100.0, 500.0 and 1500 ng/ml for BCQB were within +/-15.0%. The established method has been applied successfully to study the pharmacokinetics of BCQB in rats after intranasal administration. 相似文献

A rapid, selective and sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method with electrospray ionization (ESI) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of pitavastatin and its lactone in human plasma and urine. Following a liquid-liquid extraction, both the analytes and internal standard racemic i-prolact were separated on a BDS Hypersil C(8) column, using methanol-0.2% acetic acid in water (70: 30, v/v) as the mobile phase. The mass spectrometer was operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode using the transition m/z 422.4-->m/z 290.3 for pitavastatin, m/z 404.3-->m/z 290.3 for pitavastatin lactone and m/z 406.3-->m/z 318.3 for the internal standard, respectively. Linear calibration curves of pitavastatin and its lactone were obtained in the concentration range of 1-200 ng/ml, with a lower limit of quantitation of 1 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-day precision values were less than 4.2%, and accuracies were between -8.1 and 3.5% for both analytes. The proposed method was utilized to support clinical pharmacokinetic studies of pitavastatin in healthy subjects following oral administration. 相似文献

A fast and selective HPLC-MS-MS method was established to determine L-threonate in human plasma and urine. Plasma and urine samples were extracted by protein precipitation and diluted with water, then chromatographed on an YMC J'Sphere C(18) column with methanol-acetonitrile-10mM ammonium acetate (20:5:75, v/v) as mobile phase, and at a flow rate of 0.2 ml/min. Detection was performed on a triple-quadrupole tandem mass spectrometer using negative electrospray ionization (ESI). Multiple reactions monitoring (MRM) was used and L-threonate was quantified by monitoring the ion transition of m/z 134.5-->74.7. The linear calibration curves of L-threonate in plasma and urine were obtained over the concentration range of 0.25-50 microg/ml and 2.5-500 microg/ml, respectively. Lower limit of quantitation was 0.25 and 2.5 microg/ml, respectively. Accuracy was within 85-115%, and intra- and inter-batch precision (R.S.D.%) were within +/-15%. The method proved to be accurate and specific, and was applied to the pharmacokinetic study of L-threonate in Chinese healthy subjects. 相似文献

A rapid and selective liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometric method for determination of fosfomycin was developed and validated. Following protein-precipitation, the analyte and internal standard (fudosteine) were separated from human plasma using an isocratic mobile phase on an Ultimate XB-CN column. An API 4000 tandem mass spectrometer equipped with Turbo IonSpray ionization source was used as detector and was operated in the negative ion mode. Multiple reaction monitoring using the precursor to product ion combinations of m/z 137-->79 and m/z 178-->91 was performed to quantify fosfomycin and fudosteine, respectively. The method was linear in the concentration range of 0.10-12.0 microg/mL using 50 microL of plasma. The lower limit of quantification was 0.10 microg/mL. The intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation over the entire concentration range was less than 10.6%. Accuracy determined at three concentrations (0.25, 1.00 and 8.00 microg/mL for fosfomycin) ranged from -1.0% to -4.2% in terms of relative error. Each plasma sample was chromatographed within 5.0 min. The method was successfully used in a bioequivalence study of fosfomycin in human plasma after an oral administration of capsules containing 1.0 g fosfomycin (approximately 1.3g calcium fosfomycin). 相似文献

A simple, sensitive and specific automated SPE-LC-MS-MS assay was developed and validated for determination of valdecoxib (I), its hydroxylated metabolite (II) and carboxylic acid metabolite (III) in human urine. The analytes (I, II and III) and a structural analogue internal standard (I.S.) were extracted on a C(18) solid-phase extraction cartridge using a Zymark RapidTrace automation system. The chromatographic separation was performed on a narrow-bore reverse phase HPLC column with a mobile phase of acetonitrile-water (50:50, v/v) containing 10 mM 4-methylmorpholine (pH 6.0). The analytes were ionized using negative electrospray mass spectrometry, then detected by multiple reaction monitoring with a tandem mass spectrometer. The precursor to product ion transitions of m/z 313-->118, m/z 329-->196 and m/z 343-->196 were used to measure I, II and III, respectively. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 1-200 ng/ml for I and II and 2-200 ng/ml for III in human urine. The lower limit of quantitation was 1 ng/ml for I and II and 2 ng/ml for III. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve ranges. Run time of 5.5 min for each sample made it possible to analyze a throughput of 70 human urine samples per run. The assay has been successfully used to analyze human urine samples to support clinical phase I and II studies. 相似文献

A sensitive and specific high-performance liquid chromatographic assay with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry detection (LC-ESI-MS) has been developed and validated for the identification and quantification of the novel anticholinergic drug phencynonate in rat blood and urine. The sample pretreatment involves basification and iterative liquid-liquid extraction with ethyl ether-dichloromethane (2:1, v/v) solution, followed by LC separation and positive electrospray ionization mass spectrometry detection. The chromatography was on BetaBasic-18 column (150 mm x 2.1mm i.d., 3 microm). The mobile phase was composed of methanol-water (85:15, v/v), containing 0.5 per thousand formic acid, which was pumped at a flow-rate of 0.2 ml/min. Thiencynonate was selected as the internal standard (IS). Simultaneous MS detection of phencynonate and IS was performed at m/z 358.4 (phencynonate), m/z 364 (thiencynonate), and the selected reaction ion monitoring (SRM) of the two compounds was at 156. Phencynonate eluted at approximately 5.25 min, thiencynonate eluted at approximately 5.10 min and no endogenous materials interfered with their measurement. Linearity was obtained over the concentration range of 1-100 ng/ml in rat blood and 1-500 ng/ml in rat urine. The lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) was reproducible at 1 ng/ml in both of rat blood and urine. The precision measured was obtained from 2.92 to 9.76% in rat blood and 4.17 to 9.76% in rat urine. Extraction recoveries were in the range of 69.57-79.49% in blood and 56.85-64.86% in urine. This method was successfully applied to the identification and quantification of phencynonate in pharmacokinetic studies. 相似文献

SR141716 (rimonabant) is an endocannabinoid receptor antagonist. Endocannabinoids are a class of chemicals that affect neurotransmission via G-protein coupled CB1 (brain) and CB2 (peripheral tissue) receptors. Numerous animal studies have shown that SR141716 binds with the CB1 receptor in the brain, resulting in several biological consequences including reduced alcohol intake and reward as well as reduced food consumption. In this work, an analytical method based on liquid chromatography and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) has been developed and validated for the quantitative measurement of SR141716 in both human and rat plasma to support the investigation of this compound. A suitable internal standard (AM251) has been chosen and the experimental conditions have been optimized for the separation and detection of singly charged positive ions of SR141716 and the internal standard. A protein precipitation protocol has been developed for extraction of SR141716 and the internal standard from plasma samples. Quantitation was achieved using multiple-reaction-monitoring (MRM) mode for SR141716 (m/z 463-->m/z 363) and the internal standard (m/z 555-->m/z 455) and calibration curve over the concentration range of 5.00-1000 ng/ml was plotted using the peak-area ratio versus the concentration of SR141716 with a LOD and LLOQ of 1.09 and 3.62 ng/ml, respectively. The method developed has been used to analyze SR141716 in rat plasma samples from an animal study. 相似文献

1-Deoxy-d-xylulose 5-phosphate (DXP) reductoisomerase, which simultaneously catalyzes the intramolecular rearrangement and reduction of DXP to form 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate, constitutes a key enzyme of an alternative mevalonate-independent pathway for isopentenyl diphosphate biosynthesis. The dxr gene encoding this enzyme from Escherichia coli was overexpressed as a histidine-tagged protein and characterized in detail. DNA sequencing analysis of the dxr genes from 10 E. coli dxr-deficient mutants revealed base substitution mutations at four points: two nonsense mutations and two amino acid substitutions (Gly(14) to Asp(14) and Glu(231) to Lys(231)). Diethyl pyrocarbonate treatment inactivated DXP reductoisomerase, and subsequent hydroxylamine treatment restored the activity of the diethyl pyrocarbonate-treated enzyme. To characterize these defects, we overexpressed the mutant enzymes G14D, E231K, H153Q, H209Q, and H257Q. All of these mutant enzymes except for G14D were obtained as soluble proteins. Although the purified enzyme E231K had wild-type K(m) values for DXP and NADPH, the mutant enzyme had less than a 0.24% wild-type k(cat) value. K(m) values of H153Q, H209Q, and H257Q for DXP increased to 3.5-, 7.6-, and 19-fold the wild-type value, respectively. These results indicate that Glu(231) of E. coli DXP reductoisomerase plays an important role(s) in the conversion of DXP to 2-C-methyl-d-erythritol 4-phosphate, and that His(153), His(209), and His(257), in part, associate with DXP binding in the enzyme molecule. 相似文献

A sensitive and reliable method for the determination of gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), a major inhibitory neurotransmitter, in human plasma and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) has been developed. The method is based on capillary liquid chromatography (LC)/tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) using deuterium-labeled GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid-2,2-D(2), GABA-d(2)) as internal standard. Pre-column derivatization with 7-fluoro-4-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-F) was deployed, allowing both effective in-line pre-concentration and sensitive tandem MS detection of the analyte. An extraction column (10 mm x 0.25 mm, 7 microm, C(18)) was used for preconcentrating and stacking the sample. Separation was carried out on an analytical column (50 mm x 0.25 mm, 5 microm, C(18)). Characteristic precursor-to-product ion transitions, m/z 267--> 249 (for NBD-GABA) and m/z 269--> 251 (for NBD-GABA-d(2)) were monitored for the quantification. A linear calibration curve from 10 to 250 ng/mL GABA with an r(2) value of 0.9994 was obtained. Detection limit was estimated to be 5.00 ng/mL GABA (S/N = 3). Human plasma and CSF samples were analyzed. The concentrations of GABA were found to be 98.6 +/- 33.9 ng/mL (mean +/- S.D., n = 12), and 44.3 +/- 10.0 ng/mL (n = 6) in plasma and CSF, respectively. 相似文献

A sensitive and specific liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) is described for quantitation of salbutamol in human urine using nadolol as the internal standard (I.S.). Urine samples were hydrolyzed with beta-glucuronidase followed by a solid-phase extraction procedure using Bond Elut-Certify cartridges. The HPLC column was an Agilent Zorbax SB-C(18) column. A mixture of 0.01 M ammonium formate buffer (pH 3.5)-acetonitrile (85:15, v/v) was used as the mobile phase. Analytes were quantitated using positive electrospray ionization in a quadrupole spectrometer. Selected ion monitoring (SIM) mode was used to monitor m/z 166 for salbutamol and m/z 310 for I.S. Good linearity was obtained in the range of 10.0-2000.0 ng/ml. The limit of quantification was 10.0 ng/ml. The intra- and inter-run precision, calculated from quality control (QC) samples was less than 7.3%. The accuracy as determined from QC samples was within +/-2.6%. The method was applied for determining excretion curves of salbutamol. 相似文献

The validation of a LC/MS/MS method for the determination of 8-methoxypsoralen (8-MOP) in human plasma and microdialysates after topical application is described. Plasma samples were extracted by liquid-liquid extraction with diisopropylether using 4,5',8-trimethylpsoralen (TMP) as internal standard. Chromatographic separation of plasma sample extracts was carried out using a short narrow-bore Nucleosil C18 column (30 mm x 2.0 mm i.d.) with acetonitrile/(2 mM ammonium acetate buffer, 2 mM acetic acid) (80:20, v/v). For mass spectrometric analysis an API 3000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer was employed. The mass transitions used were m/z 217.2-->174.0 for 8-MOP and m/z 229.1-->142.1 for TMP. Microdialysis samples diluted with an equal amount of acetonitrile did not require any extraction and were analyzed directly on a narrow-bore Nucleosil C18 column (70 mm x 2.0mm i.d.) with acetonitrile/(2 mM ammonium acetate buffer, 2 mM acetic acid) (50:50, v/v) with the mass transition m/z 217.2-->174.0. The assays were validated over the concentration ranges of 0.5-50 ng/ml for plasma samples and 0.25-50 ng/ml for microdialysates, respectively. 相似文献
