Therapeutic efficiency and hemolytic toxicity of primaquine (PQ), the only drug available for radical cure of relapsing vivax malaria are believed to be mediated by its metabolites. However, identification of these metabolites has remained a major challenge apparently due to low quantities and their reactive nature. Drug candidates labeled with stable isotopes afford convenient tools for tracking drug‐derived metabolites in complex matrices by liquid chromatography‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐MS‐MS) and filtering for masses with twin peaks attributable to the label. This study was undertaken to identify metabolites of PQ from an in vitro incubation of a 1:1 w/w mixture of 13C6‐PQ/PQ with primary human hepatocytes. Acquity ultra‐performance LC (UHPLC) was integrated with QTOF‐MS to combine the efficiency of separation with high sensitivity, selectivity of detection and accurate mass determination. UHPLC retention time, twin mass peaks with difference of 6 (originating from 13C6‐PQ/PQ), and MS‐MS fragmentation pattern were used for phenotyping. Besides carboxy‐PQ (cPQ), formed by oxidative deamination of PQ to an aldehyde and subsequent oxidation, several other metabolites were identified: including PQ alcohol, predictably generated by oxidative deamination of PQ to an aldehyde and subsequent reduction, its acetate and the alcohol's glucuronide conjugate. Trace amounts of quinone‐imine metabolites of PQ and cPQ were also detected which may be generated by hydroxylation of the PQ/cPQ quinoline ring at the 5‐position and subsequent oxidation. These findings shed additional light on the human hepatic metabolism of PQ, and the method can be applied for identification of reactive PQ metabolites generated in vivo in preclinical and clinical studies.

Ion-electron reaction based fragmentation methods (ExD) in tandem mass spectrometry (MS), such as electron capture dissociation
(ECD) and electron transfer dissociation (ETD) represent a powerful tool for biological analysis. ExD methods have been used
to differentiate the presence of the isoaspartate (isoAsp) from the aspartate (Asp) in peptides and proteins. IsoAsp is a
β3-type amino acid that has an additional methylene group in the backbone, forming a Cα–Cβ bond within the polypeptide chain. Cleavage of this bond provides specific fragments that allow differentiation of the isomers.
The presence of a Cα–Cβ bond within the backbone is unique to β-amino acids, suggesting a similar application of ExD toward the analysis of peptides
containing other β-type amino acids. In the current study, ECD and ETD analysis of several β-amino acid containing peptides
was performed. It was found that N–Cβ and Cα–Cβ bond cleavages were rare, providing few c and z type fragments, which was attributed to the instability of the Cβ radical. Instead, the electron capture resulted primarily in the formation of a and y fragments, representing an alternative fragmentation pathway, likely initiated by the electron capture at a backbone amide
nitrogen protonation site within the β amino acid residues. 相似文献

Deamidation of asparagine and spontaneous isomerization of aspartic acid in proteins and peptides occur frequently. These modifications result in a mixture of peptide variants containing all three residues in the sequences. Identification and isomer quantification for these systems are challenging tasks for tandem mass spectrometry commonly utilized in protein analysis. Chromatographic data provide a set of sequence-specific information complementary to mass spectrometry. In order to compare measured retention times (RTs) with those calculated from the sequences derived from protein databases, it is necessary to develop chromatographic models and tools allowing the prediction of RT and elution order for peptides with modified residues. In this work we extended recently introduced critical liquid chromatography of biomacromolecule model for prediction of RTs for peptides containing asparagines, aspartic acid, and isoaspartic acid residues. 相似文献

Unsteady flow in a semi-infinite contracting or expanding pipeis reinvestigated using long series analysis. The proposed seriesmethod is useful in analysing the problem for a moderately largeconstant ( = aa/, where a = a(t), the radius of the pipe isa function of time, a(t) is the velocity of the wall, and iskinematic viscosity). For positive values of (expansion ofthe pipe) accuracy of the series representing shear stress andpressure gradient is increased from = 2.89 to = 6.0 by extractingthe singularity followed by completion of the series. For negativevalues of (contraction of the pipe), we revert the series whichresults into the increase of the region of validity of the transposedseries from = -25.0 to = -2.89. Later we use Padé approximantsfor summing them. Also, the asymptotic solution for large valuesof is obtained and it agrees closely with pure numerical valuesof shear stress at the wall and pressure gradient. 相似文献
