ESI+ MS/MS confirmation of canine ivermectin toxicity

Ivermectin is a semisynthetic macrocyclic lactone anthelmintic of the avermectin family derived from Streptomyces fermentation products. Avermectins are used as antiparasitic agents in domestic animals; although considered relatively safe, one must consider animal species, breed, weight, and age in dosage determinations.In January 2006, two canines were presented to the UK Livestock Disease Diagnostic Center after dying from suspected ivermectin overdoses [30-50 mg/kg body weight]. To confirm this clinical diagnosis we developed a rapid, sensitive semiquantitative ElectroSpray Ionization-Mass Spectrometry (ESI/MS) method for ivermectin in canine tissue samples. Pharmaceutical ivermectin contains two ivermectins differing by a single methyl group, and each compound forms interpretation-confounding adducts with tissue Na(+) and K(+) ions. We now report that ivermectin administration was clearly confirmed by comparison with standard and dosage forms of ivermectin, and simple proportionalities based on mass spectral intensity of respective molecular ions allowed semiquantitative estimates of injection site tissue concentrations of 20 and 40 microg/g tissue (wet weight) in these animals, consistent with the history of ivermectin administration and the clinical signs observed.There is a distinct need for both rapid detection and confirmation of toxic exposures in veterinary diagnostics, whether for interpretation of clinical cases antemortem or for forensic reasons postmortem. It is vital that interpreters of analytical results have appropriate guidance in the scientific literature and elsewhere so as to enable clear-cut answers. The method presented here is suitable for routine diagnostic work in that it allows rapid extraction of ivermectin from tissue samples, avoids the need for high-performance liquid chromatography and allows ready interpretation of the multiple ivermectin species seen by ESI(+) MS/MS in samples originating from veterinary dosage forms.     

Fluorescence quenching of three molecular weight fractions of a soil fulvic acid by UO(2)(II)

A soil fulvic acid isolated from a Korean forest was divided into three different molecular weight fractions (F1: less than 220 Da; F2: 220-1000 Da; and F3: 1000-4000 Da) by gel filtration chromatography and the fractions were studied by synchronous fluorescence (SyF) spectroscopy. Analysis of the SyF spectra for the fulvic acid fractions showed that the fractions with molecules of larger sizes have a higher content of condensed aromatic compounds. The information about their interaction with UO(2)(II) ions in an aqueous solution (100 mg l(-1) of fulvic acid, in 0.1 M NaClO(4) at pH 3.5) was obtained from the measurement of SyF spectra at increasing concentrations of metal ions. Self-modeling mixture analysis of the quenching spectra gives two distinct peak components having a maximum peak position of 386 (type I) and 498 nm (type II) for all the size-fractionated fulvic acids. From the analysis of the quenching profiles of the peaks, using a non-linear method, the concentration of binding sites (C(L)), and the corresponding stability constants (logK) were calculated. The stability constants of the UO(2)(II)-fulvate complexes ranged from 4.10 to 5.33, and increased with higher molecular weight fractions, which indicates a stronger affinity for UO(2)(II) in the fraction with molecules of larger size.     

Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of a coal extract and its fractions separated by planar chromatography: correlation of structural features with molecular mass

The structural characterisation of a coal liquefaction extract and its three fractions separated by planar chromatography has been described. Size exclusion chromatography showed the molecular mass distributions to become progressively larger with decreasing mobility on the plate. UV-fluorescence spectroscopy of the fractions indicated parallel increases in the sizes of polynuclear aromatic ring systems. Analysis by probe-mass spectrometry of the 'whole' coal extract showed the expected array of small polynuclear aromatic groups extending to m/z 450. The probe mass spectra of the lightest fraction ('mobile in pyridine and acetonitrile') showed similar features, except for effects due to vacuum drying to remove solvent. In sharp contrast, the two heaviest fractions ('mobile in pyridine and immobile in acetonitrile' and 'immobile in pyridine') showed no significant ions other than those from residual NMP solvent (m/z 98 and 99). Pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of these two heaviest fractions showed only traces of aromatic compounds or fragments. The aromatic pyrolysis products of these fractions were too large and involatile to pass through the GC column. The major components observed in the pyrolysis-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry of the two heavy fractions were alkanes and alkenes, ranging between C10-C25. Since none of the samples contained free alkanes, alkenes or cycloalkanes before pyrolysis, they were generated during the pyrolysis step. The shifts of UV-fluorescence spectral intensity to shorter wavelengths with decreasing size indicated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC) provide direct evidence of differences in structure with changing molecular mass. This evidence strongly suggests that species identified as being of large molecular mass in this extract sample are not composed of molecular aggregates. It remains difficult to establish whether and when it would be legitimate to invoke molecular aggregates to explain the large molecular masses (MMs) identified here and in other work.

The pre‐separation of oxygen containing compounds in oxidised heavy paraffinic fractions and their identification by GC‐MS with supersonic molecular beams.

The heavy petroleum fractions produced during refining processes need to be upgraded to useable products to increase their value. Hydrogenated heavy paraffinic fractions can be oxidised to produce high value products that contain a variety of oxygenates. These heavy oxygenated paraffinic fractions need to be characterised to enable the control of oxidation processes and to understand product properties. The accurate identification of the oxygenates present in these fractions by electron ionisation (EI) mass spectrometry is challenging due to the complexity of these heavy fractions. Adding to this challenge is the limited applicability of EI mass spectral libraries due to the absence of molecular ions from the EI mass spectra of many oxygenates. The separation of oxygenates from the complex hydrocarbon matrix prior to high temperature GC‐MS (HT‐GC‐MS) analysis reduces the complexity of these fractions and assists in the accurate identification of these oxygenates. Solid phase extraction (SPE) and supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC) were employed as prefractionation techniques. GC‐MS with supersonic molecular beams (SMBs) (also named GC‐MS with cold‐EI) utilises a SMB interface with which EI is done with vibrationally cold sample compounds in a fly‐through ion source (cold‐EI) resulting in a substantial increase in the molecular ion signal intensity in the mass spectrum. This greatly enhances the accurate identification of the oxygenates in these fractions. This study investigated the ionisation behaviour of oxygenated compounds using cold‐EI. The prefractionation by SPE and SFC and the subsequent analysis with GC‐MS with cold‐EI were applied to an oxygenated heavy paraffinic fraction.     

Structural characterisation of Baltic amber and its solvent extracts by several mass spectrometric methods

A sample of Baltic amber ( approximately 40 million yrs old) has been extracted using pentane, toluene and 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone (NMP). The relationship between solubility characteristics of the extracts in relation to molecular mass and chemical makeup has been investigated. The extracts were first characterised by (13)C-NMR spectrometry, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) and UV-fluorescence spectroscopy. The fractions differed less in terms of chemical structural features than they did in terms of molecular mass. This contrasts markedly with data on fractions of coal-derived liquids, but parallels results from petroleum-derived vacuum residues. In SEC, the toluene soluble/pentane insoluble fraction gave a peak for high mass material at about 67 000 u. Material excluded from the column porosity in this fraction and in NMP solubles eluted between 8 and 11 min, corresponding to polystyrene masses between 200 000 and several million u. A column with a larger pore size distribution was calibrated using polystyrene and polymethylmethacrylate standards with detection by a light-scattering evaporative analyser. The largest polystyrene standard (15.4 million u) eluted at 13.4 min, similar to that of the earliest eluting amber-derived material in the NMP solubles fraction. Results from probe-MS and pyrolysis-GC/MS have been used to confirm the similarity of chemical structures of the three solubility fractions. Broadly, low mass ions appear to correspond to the various monomeric units of structures present in the amber, the higher mass ions to dimer units and the molecular ions to the different combinations of three or more monomeric units. The main monomer groups have been identified in detail, showing a situation very different from that of coal-derived materials, where the sizes of aromatic ring systems increase with molecular size.     

Determination of labile inorganic and organic species of Al and Cu in river waters using the diffusive gradients in thin films technique

The diffusive gradients in thin films (DGT) technique, using a diffusive gel or a restrictive gel, was evaluated for the determination of labile inorganic and organic species of Al and Cu in model synthetic solutions and river water samples. Experiments were performed both in situ and in the laboratory. In the solutions containing Al ions, the major labile fraction consisted of inorganic species. The organic complex fractions were mainly kinetically inert. For the model Cu solutions, the most labile fraction consisted of inorganic species; however, significant amounts of labile organic complexes of Cu were also present. A comparison was made between the results obtained using restrictive gel DGT and tangential flow ultrafiltration (TF-UF). The Cu fraction determined by restrictive gel DGT (corresponding to the "free" ions plus the labile fraction of small molecular size complexes) was larger than that determined by TF-UF (corresponding to all small molecular size ions), suggesting that the techniques exhibited different porosities for discrimination of inorganic species. For the river water samples analyzed in the laboratory, less than 45% of the analytes were present in labile forms, with most being organic species. For the in situ measurements, the labile inorganic and organic fractions were larger than those obtained in the laboratory analyses. These differences could have been due to errors incurred during sample collection and storage. All results were consistent with those found using two different methods, namely, solid-phase extraction and the DGT technique employing the apparent diffusion coefficient.     

Characterization of proanthocyanidins in grape seeds using electrospray mass spectrometry

Two proanthocyanidin (PA) fractions, one (Sdp3) with the mean degree of polymerization (mDP) of 3 and the other (Sdp9) with mDP of 9, were obtained from a Vitis vinifera cv. Shiraz grape seed extract. The PA fractions were directly analyzed by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ES-MS) and negative ion mass spectra were recorded. The mass spectrum of Sdp3 exhibited only singly charged ions corresponding to the molecular mass of PA with a degree of polymerization (DP) up to 9 (nonamers). In contrast, Sdp9 yielded rather complex mass spectra featuring ions with single [M - H](-), double [M - 2H](2-) and triple [M - 3H](3-) charge representing the molecular masses of PAs up to a DP of 28. In addition, the degree of galloylation per procyanidin (DG) was observed to be up to 5 (pentagallates) in Sdp3 and 8 (octagallates) in the Sdp9. This is the first evidence obtained by mass spectrometry for the distribution of grape seed PAs with such a high degree of polymerization and a broad diversity of galloylation. ES-MS data together with the complementary information provided by acid hydrolysis provides a detailed picture of the composition of grape seed PAs.     

Multielement characterization of metal-humic substances complexation by size exclusion chromatography, asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation, ultrafiltration and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry detection: a comparative approach

The use of three different separation techniques, ultrafiltration (UF), high performance size exclusion chromatography (HPSEC) and asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (AsFlFFF), for the characterization of a compost leachate is described. The possible interaction of about 30 elements with different size fractions of humic substances (HS) has been investigated coupling these separation techniques with UV-vis absorption spectrophotometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) as detection techniques. The organic matter is constituted by a polydisperse mixture of humic substances ranging from low molecular weights (around 1kDa) to significantly larger entities. Elements can be classified into three main groups with regard to their interaction with HS. The first group is constituted by primarily the monovalent alkaline metal ions and anionic species like B, W, Mo, As existing as oxyanions all being not significantly associated to HS. The second group consists of elements that are at least partly associated to a smaller HS size fraction (such as Ni, Cu, Cr and Co). A third group of mainly tri- and tetravalent metal ions like Al, Fe, the lanthanides, Sn and Th are rather associated to larger-sized HS fractions. The three separation techniques provide a fairly consistent size classification for most of the metal ions, even though slight disagreements were observed. The number-average molecular weight (Mn), the weight-average molecular weight (Mw) and the polydispersity (rho) parameters have been calculated both from AsFlFFF and HPSEC experiments and compared for HS and some metal-HS species. Differences in values can be partly explained by an overloading effect observed in the AsFlFFF experiments induced by electrostatic repulsion effects in the low ionic strength, high pH carrier solution. Size information obtained from ultrafiltration is not as resolved as for the other methods. Molecular weight cut-offs (MWCO) of the individual filter membranes refer to globular proteins and molecular weight information may therefore, deviate from that given by the other methods after calibration with polystyrene sulfonate (PSS) standards.     

Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization, fast atom bombardment and plasma desorption mass spectrometry of polyethylene glycol esters of (2-benzothiazolon-3-yl)acetic acid.

Fast atom bombardment (FAB), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and plasma desorption (PD) mass spectra of newly synthesized polyethylene glycols (PEGs), (M(w) 600-4000 Da) chemically modified with biologically active (2-benzothiazolon-3-yl)acetyl end-groups are described (products 1-6). The spectra were also used for the determination of the molecular mass characteristics (number average (M(n)) and weight average (M(w)) molecular masses) of the initial and modified PEGs. As expected, M(n) and M(w) of the modified samples are higher than those of the non-modified samples. However, it is shown that molecular mass dispersity (determined by the comparison of the polydispersity indices (PDI = M(w)/M(n)) of both types of PEGs) essentially do not change during this modification. The FAB mass spectra, together with molecular species, show the presence of abundant [M + Na](+) ions of product 1 and [M + Na + H](+) species of 2 and 3, and [M + Na + 2H](+) of product 4. Two main series of fragment ions, derived from the cleavage of the ether bonds, are observed. The number fractions of the molecular adduct ions and fragment adduct ions, determined from the FAB and PD mass spectra of the modified PEGs, are compared. The MALDI-TOF mass spectra of compounds 1-6 show the presence of two series of polymers. The most abundant peaks are due to [M + Na](+) and [M + K](+) ions originating from the polymers, in which the two terminal hydroxyl groups of PEGs are esterified with (2-benzothiazolon-3-yl)acetic acid. The less abundant peaks are due to the monosubstituted polymers.     

Molecular characterization of a highly heterogeneous mixture of glucosylceramides from a deep-water Mediterranean scleractinian coral Dendrophyllia cornigera

We report here on the structural characterization of a highly heterogeneous mixture of glucosylceramides (GlcCers) isolated from a deep-water Mediterranian dendrophylliid coral, Dendrophyllia cornigera. The neutral glycosphingolipid (GSL) components of the coral were separated into three HPLC fractions which were structurally characterized by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and mass spectrometry (MS). NMR analysis revealed a beta-glucosylpyranose, a methyl branched conjugated sphingadienine and alpha-hydroxy fatty acid moieties characteristic for the species. Molecular mass distributions of the HPLC fractions were monitored using single-stage MS. At least 17 different GlcCer constituents with variable long-chain base and fatty acid residues were observed based on the molecular ion peaks in the liquid secondary ion (LSI) survey spectra. Structures of the individual components were revealed by product ion spectra of the alkali-cationized molecules ([M + Cat](+)), which resulted in two characteristic fragment ions, F(F) and F(S). Tandem MS of the same fragment ions formed in the ion source showed that F(F) carries the hydoxy fatty acid, while F(S) carries the long-chain sphingoid base, thus providing complementary structural information for the characterization of ceramide composition. Based on the tandem mass spectra of the molecular ions [M + Na](+), 26 different GlcCers of the coral were identified. The ceramide moiety showed heterogeneity in both the sphingoid portion (d18:2, d19:2, d20:2 and d20:3) and the alpha-hydroxy fatty acid chain (h19-h24, either saturated or unsaturated), forming an extremely heterogeneous mixture. The method is generally applicable to the characterization of structurally heterogeneous GlcCer mixtures.
