Simultaneous screening for lipophilic and hydrophilic toxins in marine harmful algae using a serially coupled reversed-phase and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography separation system with high-resolution mass spectrometry

The presence of toxins in harmful algal blooms (HABs) poses considerable concerns because of their potential adverse effects on ecological environments and human health. When marine HABs occur, efficient screening and identification of toxins in different kinds of HAB algae remains a challenge. In this study, the applicability of serial coupling of reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC) and hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) combined with high resolution mass spectrometry (HR-MS) for the simultaneous screening and identification of various kinds of known lipophilic and hydrophilic toxins in HAB algae was investigated for the first time. Ultrasound-assisted extraction (UAE) was explored to extract both lipophilic and hydrophilic toxins in algae simultaneously. As in most cases, toxin standards were not available; therefore, an identification procedure based on accurate mass data and chromatographic behavior was proposed. According to this procedure, eight known lipophilic toxins and 11 hydrophilic toxins were successfully detected in a single injection, and the proposed method was validated. Satisfactory sensitivity, repeatability (RSD <14.87%) and recovery (89.4–105.8%) of the method were achieved. A major advantage of the proposed method is that it can almost detect members of all eight groups of marine algal toxins in a single run. Using this method, several known toxins in different marine toxigenic algae including Alexandrium tamarense, Alexandrium minutum and Prorocentrum lima were successfully observed and identified. This work demonstrates that RPLC/HILIC-HR-MS combined with an accurate mass list of known marine algal toxins may be used as a powerful tool for screening of different classes of known toxins in marine harmful algae.

Innovative detection methods for aquatic algal toxins and their presence in the food chain

Detection of aquatic algal toxins has become critical for the protection of human health. During the last 5 years, techniques such as optical, electrochemical, and piezoelectric biosensors or fluorescent-microsphere-based assays have been developed for the detection of aquatic algal toxins, in addition to optimization of existing techniques, to achieve higher sensitivities, specificity, and speed or multidetection. New toxins have also been incorporated in the array of analytical and biological methods. The impact of the former innovation on this field is highlighted by recent changes in legal regulations, with liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry becoming the official reference method for marine lipophilic toxins and replacing the mouse bioassay in many countries. This review summarizes the large international effort to provide routine testing laboratories with fast, sensitive, high-throughput, multitoxin, validated methods for the screening of seafood, algae, and water samples.     

Screening of lipophilic marine toxins in shellfish and algae: development of a library using liquid chromatography coupled to orbitrap mass spectrometry

Most liquid chromatography (LC) mass spectrometric (MS) methods used for routine monitoring of lipophilic marine toxins focus on the analysis of the 13 toxins that are stated in European Union legislation. However, to date over 200 lipophilic marine toxins have been described in the literature. To fill this gap, a screening method using LC coupled to high resolution (HR) orbitrap MS (resolution 100 000) for marine lipophilic toxins has been developed. The method can detect a wide variety of okadaic acid (OA), yessotoxin (YTX), azaspiracid (AZA) and pectenotoxin (PTX) group toxins. To build a library of toxins, shellfish and algae samples with various toxin profiles were obtained from Norway, Ireland, United Kingdom, Portugal and Italy. Each sample extract was analyzed with and without collision induced dissociation fragmentation. Based on their mass and specific fragmentation pattern, 85 different toxins were identified comprising 33 OA, 26 YTX, 18 AZA and 8 PTX group toxins. A major complication of full scan HRMS is the huge amount of data generated (file size), which restricts the possibility of a fast search. A software program called metAlign was used to reduce the orbitrap MS data files. The 200-fold reduced data files were screened using an additional software tool for metAlign: ‘Search_LCMS’. A search library was constructed for the 85 identified toxins. The library contains information about compound name, accurate mass, mass deviation (<5 ppm), retention time (min) and retention time deviation (<0.2 min). An important feature is that the library can easily be exchanged with other instruments as the generated metAlign files are not brand-specific. The developed screening procedure was tested by analyzing a set of known positive and blank samples, processing them with metAlign and searching with Search_LCMS. A toxin profile was determined for each of the contaminated samples. No toxins were found in the blank sample, which is in line with the results obtained for this sample in the routine monitoring program (rat bioassay and tandem LC–MS).     

Development of a High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Determination of Lipophilic Toxins in Marine Shellfishes and Edible Safety Evaluation

At present, edible marine shellfishes are often contaminated by a combination of different kinds of marine lipophilic toxins. In this study, several common lipophilic shellfish toxins (LSTs) in marine shellfishes were simultaneously detected by liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, and the safety risk of commercial marine shellfishes was evaluated based on the materiome of LSTs. Under the optimal conditions, the developed method displayed satisfactory recovery values (63.2%–88.8%), precision (relative standard deviations ≤ 14.5%), and sensitivity (limit of detection in the range of 0.54–2.69 ng g^?1) for all analytes. Among the 105 commercially available shellfish samples, 42.86% of the samples had at least one kind of toxins. The highest average content was 47.60 μg kg^?1 of DTX1, which was the most serious contaminant in marine shellfish samples. Total Exposure Risk Index (∑ERI) was calculated based on Total Daily Intake (TDI) and Acute Reference Dose (ARfD) of each toxin to evaluate the safety risk of commercial marine shellfishes. The results indicated that the risk of toxin poisoning was 19.05% in the commercial available marine shellfishes, and the scallops (Chlamys farreri) have the highest poisoning risk among different shellfishes used in this study. In summary, a new method based on the combined contamination of LSTs was successfully developed for the risk assessment of commercial marine shellfishes. The proposed method is stricter than that in the relevant rules of European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) and can benefit to protect shellfish consumers from poisoning risk.     

Results of a European interlaboratory method validation study for the quantitative determination of lipophilic marine biotoxins in raw and cooked shellfish based on high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. Part I: collaborative study

A European interlaboratory collaborative study was conducted to validate a method for the quantitative determination of lipophilic marine biotoxins based on high-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry. During this study, the diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins okadaic acid, dinophysis toxin1 and 2 including their esters, the azaspiracids 1-3, pectenotoxin2, and the yessotoxins were investigated at concentration levels near the limit of quantification and near the legal limit. Naturally contaminated blue mussels, both raw and cooked and spiked extracts of clams and oysters were studied and results were obtained for 16 test samples from 16 laboratories representing eight different countries. This article summarizes the study outcome concerning validation key parameters like specificity, linearity, limit of detection, accuracy/recovery, and precision. Further, influences of cooking of mussels before homogenization or hydrolysis on method robustness have been evaluated.

Separation and purification of two minor typical diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins from harmful marine microalgae via combined liquid chromatography with mass spectrometric detection

A novel method was developed for the purification of two typical diarrhetic shellfish poisoning toxins from toxin‐producing marine microalgae using macroporous resin, high‐speed countercurrent chromatography–mass spectrometry, and semipreparative high‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Analytical high‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry was used for identification and purity analysis of okadaic acid and dinophysistoxin‐1 because they exhibit no visible or ultraviolet absorption. First, four kinds of macroporous resins were investigated, and HP‐20 macroporous resin was selected for the preenrichment and cleanup of the two target toxins. Second, the resin‐purified sample was further purified using high‐speed countercurrent chromatography coupled with a mass spectrometer. The purities of the obtained okadaic acid and dinophysistoxin‐1 were 89.0 and 83.0%, respectively, as determined through analytical high‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry. Finally, further purification was carried out using semipreparative high‐performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry, and the purities of the final okadaic acid and dinophysistoxin‐1 products were both over 98.0% based on the analytical high‐performance liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry chromatograms and fraction spectra. This work demonstrates that the proposed purification process is a powerful method for the preparation of high‐purity okadaic acid and dinophysistoxin‐1 from toxin‐producing marine microalgae. Moreover, it is particularly important for the purification and preparation of minor toxins that exhibit no visible or ultraviolet absorption from harmful marine algae.     

Development of an ultra-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry method for the detection of lipophilic marine toxins

A rapid method for the detection of marine toxins was developed using an ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) system coupled to a latest generation mass spectrometry (MS) system. The analysis of 21 lipophilic marine toxins was achieved on an Acquity C18 column using a water-acetonitrile gradient with a cycle time of 6.6 min, reducing analysis time by more than a factor two compared to HPLC while maintaining peak resolution. Linear ranges, limits of detection and limits of quantification were established for okadaic acid (OA), pectenotoxin-2, azaspiracid-1 (AZA1), yessotoxin, gymnodimine and 13-desmethylspirolide C. The method was found to be accurate when using a triplicate methanolic extraction. Matrix effects were assessed by standard addition of OA and AZA1 in extracts of raw and heat-treated flesh of mussels and oysters. For the analysis of AZA1, the UPLC-MS method was always prone to signal suppression, while for OA analysis signal suppression was observed in extracts of raw shellfish flesh and signal enhancement in extracts of heat-treated flesh. Matrix effects occurring in the method presented are diminished compared to previous studies.     

Simultaneous determination of toxins in algae and water samples by high-performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry

A facile method based on liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry working in selected reaction monitoring mode has been established to analyze toxins in the algae and water samples. Twelve types of toxins (anatoxin, cylindrospermopsin, dinophysistoxin-1, nodularin, okadaic acid, microcystins) were efficiently separated under optimized liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry conditions in the selected reaction monitoring mode. Correlation coefficients of the calibration curves, all felt in the range of 0.9958-0.9998, indicated good linearity. The detection limits of toxins in this method were all lower than 0.20 ng/mL and the quantification limits were in the range from 0.04 to 0.60 ng/mL. Except for anatoxin, cylindrospermopsin, and nodularin, the other toxins' recoveries varied from 55.45 to 140.85%. And the relative standard deviations of interday and intraday precision were at 8.61% (n = 5). The high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/electrospray ionization (ESI)-mass spectrometery (MS) method was also successfully applied to analyze the algae and water samples. Owing to its exclusive selectivity and excellent sensitivity, the developed method is a tool for comprehensive analyses of the 12 types of toxins at nanogram levels.
