Analysis of alkaloids in Coptis chinensis Franch by accelerated solvent extraction combined with ultra performance liquid chromatographic analysis with photodiode array and tandem mass spectrometry detections

A new method based on accelerated solvent extraction (ASE) followed by ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) analysis has been developed for the identification and quantification of major alkaloids in extracts of Coptis chinensis Franch. The UPLC system consisted of a dual detection system of photodiode array detector (PDA) and positive ion electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) in sequential configuration. The operational parameters of ASE including extraction solvent, extraction temperature, static extraction time and extraction cycles were optimized. UPLC analysis was performed on an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C₁₈ column eluted by a mobile phase of acetonitrile spiked with a buffer solution consisting of 0.50% acetic acid and 20 mmol L⁻¹ ammonium acetate. A tandem quadrupole spectrometer operating in either full scan mode or in MS/MS mode for multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was used for the identification and quantitative analysis of eight major alkaloids in C. chinensis Franch extracts. The samples were also analyzed on a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-TOF-MS) system to confirm the identification results. Three of the eight major alkaloids, berberine, palmatine and jatrorrhizine were quantified by UPLC-PDA and UPLC-MS/MS. The results indicated that both UPLC-PDA and UPLC-MS/MS methods were simple, sensitive and reliable for the determination of alkaloids in C. chinensis Franch. Seven Huanglian samples from different locations were analyzed using the established methods. UPLC fingerprints based on the distribution of the eight major alkaloids can serve as a rapid and reliable method for the authentication and quality evaluation of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbs.

Optimization of capillary electrophoretic-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometric analysis of catecholamines

The capillary electrophoretic-mass spectrometric analysis (CE-MS) of catecholamines was optimized with coaxial sheath flow interface and electrospray ionization (ESI). The parameters studied included the sheath liquid composition and its flow rate, separation conditions in ammonium acetate buffer together with the ESI and cone voltages as mass spectrometric parameters. In addition, the effect of ESI voltage on injection as well as the siphoning effect were considered. The optimized conditions were a sheath liquid composition of methanol-water (80:20 v/v) with 0.5% acetic acid, with a flow rate of 6 microL/min. The capillary electrophoretic separation parameters were optimized with 50 mM ammonium acetate buffer, pH 4.0, to +25 kV separation voltage together with a pressure of 0.1 psi. The most intensive signals were obtained with an ESI voltage of +4.0 kV and a cone voltage of +20 V. The nonactive ESI voltage during injection as well as avoidance of the siphoning effect increased the sensitivity of the MS detection considerably. The use of ammonium hydroxide as the CE capillary conditioning solution instead of sodium hydroxide did not affect the CE-MS performance, but allowed the conditioning of the capillary between analyses to be performed in the MS without contaminating the ion source.     

Development of a capillary zone electrophoresis-electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry method for the analysis of fluoroquinolone antibiotics

The applicability of a capillary zone electrophoresis–electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometric (CZE–ESI-MS–MS) method for the separation of nine fluoroquinolones was investigated. Method optimisation involved systematic trouble-shooting starting with the type and duration of capillary pre-washing and conditioning, the choice of both the CE run buffer, MS sheath liquid, CE run potential, ESI spray voltage, sheath gas flow-rate, MS capillary voltage and CE capillary and MS capillary temperatures. Another extremely important factor was found to be the degree to which the CE capillary protrudes into the ESI chamber as well as whether or not sheath gas and spray voltage are employed during the CE injection or not. The importance of the latter has, to our knowledge, not been addressed elsewhere. Nine fluoroquinolones have been separated and detected in a single run by this technique.     

Application of 1-Alkyl-3-methylimidazolium-Based Ionic Liquids as Background Electrolytes in Nonaqueous Capillary Electrophoresis for the Analysis of Coptidis Alkaloids

Interest in ionic liquids (ILs) for their potential in analytical chemistry is increasing because they are environmentally benign and are good separation solvents. The aim of the presented investigation was to verify whether ILs would be a suitable background electrolyte (BGE) in nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis (NACE) for organic cations analysis of the closely related analogues. In this study, a novel and very simple NACE method has been established for analyzing seven quaternary alkaloids in Coptis rhizome using 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate-based ionic liquid as BGE. The effects of the alkyl group, imidazolium counterion (anionic part), along with the concentration of IL, are investigated and discussed. Baseline separation, high efficiencies, and symmetrical peaks of the seven alkaloids were obtained. The separation mechanism could be hydrophobic and hydrogen-bonding interactions between the alkaloids and the imidazolium cations. The optimum conditions were 70 mM 1-decyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate (1D-3MI-TFB) methanol solution (apparent pH 2.66) and 30 kV applied voltage. The detection was performed at 254 nm. Seven quaternary alkaloids in Coptis rhizome were separated within 14 min. The proposed NACE separation procedure is highly reproducible and can be applied in the qualitative and quantitative analysis of Coptidis alkaloids.     

Determination of Strychnine and Brucine in Strychnos nux-vomica L. by Nonaqueous Capillary Electrophoresis

A nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis method with photo diode-array detection was developed for the analysis of strychnine and brucine in Strychnos nux-vomica L. The separation of the two alkaloids was optimized with respect to the concentration of Tris-boric acid, the proportion of methanol and acetonitrile, and applied voltage. Baseline separation was obtained for the two analytes within 10 min using a running buffer containing 25 mM Tris-boric acid, 60% methanol and 20% acetonitrile with acetic acid adjusting pH to 4.0. In this paper, the method was used to determine the contents of strychnine and brucine in raw material and prepared Strychnos nux-vomica L.     

A sensitive non‐aqueous capillary electrophoresis‐mass spectrometric method for multiresidue analyses of β‐agonists in pork

Non‐aqueous capillary electrophoresis–mass spectrometry (NACE‐MS) was developed for trace analyses of β‐agonists (i.e. clenbuterol, salbutamol and terbutaline) in pork. The NACE was in 18 mM ammonium acetate in methanol–acetonitrile–glacial acetic acid (66 : 33 : 1, v/v/v) using a voltage of 28 kV. The hyphenation of CE with a time‐of‐flight MS was performed by electrospray ionization interface employing 5 mM ammonium acetate in methanol–water (80 : 20, v/v) as the sheath liquid at a flow rate of 2 μL/min. Method sensitivity was enhanced by a co‐injection technique (combination of hydrodynamic and electrokinetic injection) using a pressure of 50 mbar and a voltage of 10 kV for 12 s. The method was validated in comparison with HPLC–MS‐MS. The NACE‐MS procedure provided excellent detection limits of 0.3 ppb for all analytes. Method linearity was good (r² > 0.999, in a range of 0.8–1000 ppb for all analytes). Precision showed %RSDs of <17.7%. Sample pre‐treatment was carried out by solid‐phase extraction using mixed mode reversed phase/cation exchange cartridges yielding recoveries between 69 and 80%. The NACE‐MS could be successfully used for the analysis of β‐agonists in pork samples and results showed no statistical differences from the values reported by the Ministry of Public Health, Thailand using HPLC‐MS‐MS method.

Determination of Matrine and Oxymatrine in Sophora Flavescens by Nonaqueous Capillary Electrophoresis-Electrospray Ionization-Ion Trap-Mass Spectrometry

A simple, rapid, and sensitive nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ionization-ion trap-mass spectrometry (NACE-ESI-IT-MS) method was developed for determination of matrine and oxymatrine in Sophora Flavescens and medicinal preparations. The conditions for NACE separation and MS detection were systematically optimized. The optimum NACE buffer contained 30 mM ammonium acetate, 1% acetic acid, and 15% acetonitrile in methanol and the applied voltage on separation capillary was set at 25 kV. Berberine was selected as internal standard. In order to generate a stable electrospray, a sheath liquid (isopropanol/H₂O, 2/1, v/v) was used, which could also boost the flow through the ESI needle. The matrine and oxymatrine solutions were introduced into MS detection by a syringe pump for collecting the MSⁿ spectra to investigate the main fragment ions and its possible cleavage pathways. Both matrine and oxymatrine showed good linearity in the concentration ranges from 0.5 to 400 µg/mL, with linear correlation coefficient R > 0.99 and the limit of detections were 37.5 ng/mL for matrine and 50.0 ng/mL for oxymatrine, respectively. The recoveries at different content of Sophora Flavescens were 98.3%–102.9% for MT and 95.3%–100.6% for OMT, which indicates the reliability of this method.     

Quantification of Fumaria officinalis isoquinoline alkaloids by nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis-electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry

A capillary electrophoresis (CE) method using non-aqueous (NA) separation solutions combined with an ion trap mass spectrometer (MS and MS/MS) as detection device is presented for the separation, identification and quantification of isoquinoline alkaloids from Fumaria officinalis. The best results were obtained with a mixture of acetonitrile-methanol (9:1, v/v) containing 60mM ammonium acetate and 2.2M acetic acid as running electrolyte and an applied voltage of 30 kV. Electrospray MS measurements were performed in the positive ionization mode with isopropanol-water (1:1, v/v) as sheath liquid at a flow rate of 3 microl/min. Alkaloids were detected as [M+H](+)-ions and showed typical fragmentation patterns in MS/MS experiments. The developed assay was used for the quantification of seven isoquinoline alkaloids representing different structural subtypes in Fumariae herba extracts and F. herba containing phytopharmaceuticals.     

Analysis of phospholipids by NACE with on-line ESI-MS

A hyphenated method of nonaqueous capillary electrophoresis coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (NACE-ESI-MS) is described for the simultaneous analysis of phospholipids. The best results were obtained with a mixed solution of methanol/ACN (40:60 v/v) containing 20 mM ammonium acetate and 0.5% acetic acid, under the applied voltage of 30 kV and capillary temperature of 25 degrees C. ESI-MS measurements were performed in the negative mode with methanol/ACN (40:60 v/v) containing 50 mM ammonium acetate as sheath liquid at a flow rate of 2 microL/min. Different phospholipid classes have been successfully separated within 16 min, and the molecular species of every single class have been identified by using MS(2) or MS(3), which generates characteristic fragments through CID. The developed method has been applied to analyze the phospholipids extracted from rat peritoneal surface and the molecular species of phospholipid classes are presented.
