Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) are due to defective glycosylation of glycoconjugates. Conserved oligomeric Golgi (COG)‐CDG are genetic diseases due to defects of the COG complex subunits 1–8 causing N‐glycan and O‐glycan processing abnormalities. In COG‐CDG, isoelectric focusing separation of undersialylated glycoforms of serum transferrin and apolipoprotein C‐III (apoC‐III) allows to detect N‐glycosylation and O‐glycosylation defects, respectively. COG5‐CDG (COG5 subunit deficiency) is a multisystem disease with dysmorphic features, intellectual disability of variable degree, seizures, acquired microcephaly, sensory defects and autistic behavior. We applied matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization‐MS for a high‐throughput screening of differential serum O‐glycoform and N‐ glycoform in five patients with COG5‐CDG. When compared with age‐matched controls, COG5‐CDG showed a significant increase of apoC‐III0a (aglycosylated glycoform), whereas apoC‐III1 (mono‐sialylated glycoform) decreased significantly. Serum N‐glycome of COG5‐CDG patients was characterized by the relative abundance of undersialylated and undergalactosylated biantennary and triantennary glycans as well as slight increase of high‐mannose structures and hybrid glycans. Using advanced and well‐established MS‐based approaches, the present findings reveal novel aspects on O‐glycan and N‐glycan profiling in COG5‐CDG patients, thus providing an increase of current knowledge on glycosylation defects caused by impairment of COG subunits, in support of clinical diagnosis.

N‐Boc/Fmoc/Z‐N′‐formyl‐gem‐diaminoalkyl derivatives, intermediates particularly useful in the synthesis of partially modified retro‐inverso peptides, have been characterized by both positive and negative ion electrospray ionization (ESI) ion‐trap multi‐stage mass spectrometry (MSn). The MS2 collision induced dissociation (CID) spectra of the sodium adduct of the formamides derived from the corresponding N‐Fmoc/Z‐amino acids, dipeptide and tripeptide acids show the [M + Na‐NH2CHO]+ ion, arising from the loss of formamide, as the base peak. Differently, the MS2 CID spectra of [M + Na]+ ion of all the N‐Boc derivatives yield the abundant [M + Na‐C4H8]+ and [M + Na‐Boc + H]+ ions because of the loss of isobutylene and CO2 from the Boc protecting function. Useful information on the type of amino acids and their sequence in the N‐protected dipeptidyl and tripeptidyl‐N′‐formamides is provided by MS2 and subsequent MSn experiments on the respective precursor ions. The negative ion ESI mass spectra of these oligomers show, in addition to [M‐H]?, [M + HCOO]? and [M + Cl]? ions, the presence of in‐source CID fragment ions deriving from the involvement of the N‐protecting group. Furthermore, MSn spectra of [M + Cl]? ion of N‐protected dipeptide and tripeptide derivatives show characteristic fragmentations that are useful for determining the nature of the C‐terminal gem‐diamino residue. The present paper represents an initial attempt to study the ESI‐MS behavior of these important intermediates and lays the groundwork for structural‐based studies on more complex partially modified retro‐inverso peptides.

Gangliosides (GGs), sialic acid‐containing glycosphingolipids are involved in many brain functions at the cell and molecular level. Compositional and structural elucidation of GGs in mixtures extracted from human brain is essential for correlating their profile with the specialized function of each brain area in health and disease. As a part of our ongoing study on GG expression and structure in different healthy and diseased brain regions, in this work, a preliminary investigation of GGs in a specimen of human caudate nucleus (CN) was carried out using an advanced mass spectrometry (MS) technique. By chip‐nanoelectrospray MS performed on a NanoMate robot coupled to a high capacity ion trap instrument, 81 GG components were detected in human CN in only 1.5 min of signal acquisition. Although the native GG mixture from CN was found dominated by mono‐, di‐ and trisialylated GGs with a slight dominance of disialylated forms (GD), four tetrasialylated structures (GQ) and two pentasialylated (GP) species were also identified. Additionally, species with unusually long fatty acid chains, exceeding 30 carbon atoms in their ceramide (Cer) composition, and several glycoforms modified by fucosyl (Fuc), O‐acetyl (O‐Ac) and/or lactonization were discovered. By tandem MS (MS2) using collision‐induced dissociation, two atypical mono and disialylated species with long‐chain fatty acids in their Cer could be confirmed and structurally characterized. These results may be a starting point for new GG‐based approaches in the study of CN functions and ethiopathogenesis of CN‐related neurodegenerative disorders.

Glaucine ((S)‐5,6,6a,7‐tetrahydro‐1,2,9,10‐tetramethoxy‐6‐methyl‐4H‐dibenzo [de,g]quinoline) is an isoquinoline alkaloid and main component of Glaucium flavum (Papaveraceae). It was described to be consumed as recreational drug alone or in combination with other drugs. Besides this, glaucine is used as therapeutic drug in Bulgaria and other countries as cough suppressant. Currently, there are no data available concerning metabolism and toxicological analysis of glaucine. To study both, glaucine was orally administered to Wistar rats and urine was collected. For metabolism studies, work‐up of urine samples consisted of protein precipitation or enzymatic cleavage followed by solid‐phase extraction. Samples were afterwards measured by liquid chromatography (LC) coupled to low or high‐resolution mass spectrometry (HR‐MS). The phase I and II metabolites were identified by detailed interpretation of the corresponding fragmentations, which were further confirmed by determination of their elemental composition using HR‐MS. From these data, the following metabolic pathways could be proposed: O‐demethylation at position 2, 9 and 10, N‐demethylation, hydroxylation, N‐oxidation and combinations of them as well as glucuronidation and/or sulfation of the phenolic metabolites. For monitoring a glaucine intake in case of abuse or poisoning, the O‐ and N‐demethylated metabolites were the main targets for the gas chromatography‐MS and LC‐MSn screening approaches described by the authors. Both allowed confirming an intake of glaucine in rat urine after a dose of 2 mg/kg body mass corresponding to a common abuser's dose. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

This paper describes an improved method for the sequence analysis of Arg‐containing glycopeptide by MALDI mass spectrometry (MS). The method uses amino group derivatization (4‐aza‐6‐(2,6‐dimethyl‐1‐piperidinyl)‐5‐oxohexanoic acid N‐succinimidyl ester) and removal (carboxypeptidase B) or modification (peptidylarginine deiminase 4) of the arginine residue of the peptide. The derivatization attaches a basic tertiary amine moiety onto the peptides, and the enzymatic treatment removes or modifies the arginine residue. Fragmentation of the resulting glycopeptide under low‐energy collision‐induced dissociation yielded a simplified ion series of both the glycan and the peptide that can facilitate their sequencing. The feasibility of the method was studied using α1‐acid glycoprotein‐derived N‐linked glycopeptides, and glycan and peptide in each glycopeptide were successfully sequenced by MALDI tandem MS (MS/MS).

3‐Bromomethcathinone (3‐BMC) and 3‐Fluoromethcathinone (3‐FMC) are two new designer drugs, which were seized in Israel during 2009 and had also appeared on the illicit drug market in Germany. These two compounds were sold via the Internet as so‐called “bath salts” or “plant feeders.” The aim of the present study was to identify for the first time the 3‐BMC and 3‐FMC Phase I and II metabolites in rat urine and human liver microsomes using GC–MS and LC–high‐resolution MS (HR‐MS) and to test for their detectability by established urine screening approaches using GC–MS or LC–MS. Furthermore, the human cytochrome‐P450 (CYP) isoenzymes responsible for the main metabolic steps were studied to highlight possible risks of consumption due to drug–drug interaction or genetic variations. For the first aim, rat urine samples were extracted after and without enzymatic cleavage of conjugates. The metabolites were separated and identified by GC–MS and by LC–HR‐MS. The main metabolic steps were N‐demethylation, reduction of the keto group to the corresponding alcohol, hydroxylation of the aromatic system and combinations of these steps. The elemental composition of the metabolites identified by GC–MS could be confirmed by LC–HR‐MS. Furthermore, corresponding Phase II metabolites were identified using the LC–HR‐MS approach. For both compounds, detection in rat urine was possible within the authors' systematic toxicological analysis using both GC–MS and LC–MSn after a suspected recreational users dose. Following CYP enzyme kinetic studies, CYP2B6 was the most relevant enzyme for both the N‐demethylation of 3‐BMC and 3‐FMC after in vitro–in vivo extrapolation.

The mass spectrometric (MS) analysis of flavone di‐C‐glycosides has been a difficult task due to pure standards being unavailable commercially and to that the reported relative intensities of some diagnostic ions varied with MS instruments. In this study, five flavone di‐C‐glycoside standards from Viola yedoensis have been systematically studied by high performance liquid chromatography‐electrospray ionization‐tandem ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC‐ESI‐IT‐MSn) in the negative ion mode to analyze their fragmentation patterns. A new MS2 and MS3 hierarchical fragmentation for the identification of the sugar nature (hexoses or pentoses) at C‐6 and C‐8 is presented based on previously established rules of fragmentation. Here, for the first time, we report that the MS2 and MS3 structure‐diagnostic fragments about the glycosylation types and positions are highly dependent on the configuration of the sugars at C‐6 and C‐8. The base peak (0,2X10,2X2? ion) in MS3 spectra of di‐C‐glycosides could be used as a diagnostic ion for flavone aglycones. These newly proposed fragmentation behaviors have been successfully applied to the characterization of flavone di‐C‐glycosides found in V. yedoensis. A total of 35 flavonoid glycosides, including 1 flavone mono‐C‐hexoside, 2 flavone 6,8‐di‐C‐hexosides, 11 flavone 6,8‐di‐C‐pentosides, 13 flavone 6,8‐C‐hexosyl‐C‐pentosides, 5 acetylated flavone C‐glycosides and 3 flavonol O‐glycosides, were identified or tentatively identified on the base of their UV profiles, MS and MSn (n = 5) data, or by comparing with reference substances. Among these, the acetylated flavone C‐glycosides were reported from V. yedoensis for the first time. Copyright © 2014 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

2,3,5,4′‐Tetrahydroxystilbene‐2‐O‐β‐D‐glucoside (THSG) from Polygoni multiflori has been demonstrated to possess a variety of pharmacological activities, including antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory and hepatoprotective activities. Ultra‐performance LC‐quadrupole TOF‐MS with MS Elevated Energy data collection technique and rapid resolution LC with diode array detection and ESI multistage MSn methods were developed for the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, metabolism, and excretion studies of THSG in rats following a single intravenous or oral dose. The three metabolites were identified by rapid resolution LC‐MSn. The concentrations of the THSG in rat plasma, bile, urine, feces, or tissue samples were determined by ultra‐performance LC‐MS. The results showed that THSG was rapidly distributed and eliminated from rat plasma. After the intravenous administration, THSG was mainly distributing in the liver, heart, and lung. For the rat, the major distribution tissues after oral administration were heart, kidney, liver, and lung. There was no long‐term storage of THSG in rat tissues. Total recoveries of THSG within 24 h were low (0.1% in bile, 0.007% in urine, and 0.063% in feces) and THSG was excreted mainly in the forms of metabolites, which may resulted from biotransformation in the liver. 相似文献

A stereoregular 2‐amino‐glycan composed of a mannosamine residue was prepared by ring‐opening polymerization of anhydro sugars. Two different monomers, 1,6‐anhydro‐2‐azido‐mannose derivative ( 3 ) and 1,6‐anhydro‐2‐(N, N‐dibenzylamino)‐mannose derivative ( 6 ), were synthesized and polymerized. Although 3 gave merely oligomers, 6 was promptly polymerized into high polymers of the number‐average molecular weight (Mn) of 2.3 × 104 to 2.9 × 104 with 1,6‐α stereoregularity. The differences of polymerizability of 3 and 6 from those of the corresponding glucose homologs were discussed. It was found that an N‐benzyl group is exceedingly suitable for protecting an amino group in the polymerization of anhydro sugars of a mannosamine type. The simultaneous removal of O‐ and N‐benzyl groups of the resulting polymers was achieved by using sodium in liquid ammonia to produce the first 2‐amino‐glycan, poly‐(1→6)‐α‐D ‐mannosamine, having high molecular weight through ring‐opening polymerization of anhydro sugars.© 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Malonyl‐triterpene saponins (MTSs) attract scientific attentions because of their structural diversities and valuable bioactivities. However, its thermal instability brings a huge amount of challenges for isolation and purification of this class of compounds. To our best knowledge, there has been no report on isolation and analysis of MTSs from genus Caulophyllum. In this study, a strategy combining data acquisition using an energy‐resolved technique and the narrow widow extracted ion chromatograms as data mining method was developed for discovery and identification of MTSs in Caulophyllum robustum hair roots by ultra high liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization Fourier transform mass spectrometry. The method was performed at an independent MS full scan using our bottom‐up energies by in‐source collision induced dissociations with 0, 25, 50 and 100 eV in both positive and negative modes. Precursor ion as well as fragment ion information was simultaneously collected from four energy‐resolved MS spectra in a single run of 18 min. The fragmentation pathways of intact deprotonated, protonated and sodium ions of MTSs were proposed for the structural elucidation of Caulophyllum MTSs. A flowchart involving a stepwise procedure based on key fragments from ESI?/ESI+‐FT‐MS(1, 1) to MS(1, 4) spectra was constructed for the identification of structural elements in the MTSs. As a result, a total of 23 MTSs were discovered and tentatively identified, which had not been reported from Caulophyllum species before. All of these were potentially new compounds. This study provides an excellent example for discovery and identification of MTSs in herb medicines. Copyright © 2016 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

In 2013, the new psychoactive substance methoxypiperamide (MeOP) was first reported to the European Monitoring Centre for Drug and Drug Addiction. Its structural similarity to already controlled piperazine designer drugs might have contributed to the decision to offer MeOP for online purchase. The aims of this work were to identify the phase I/II metabolites of MeOP in rat urine and the human cytochrome P450 (CYP) isoenzymes responsible for the initial metabolic steps. Finally, the detectability of MeOP in rat urine by gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC‐MS) and liquid chromatography coupled with multistage mass spectrometry (LC‐MSn) standard urine screening approaches (SUSAs) was evaluated. After sample preparation by cleavage of conjugates followed by extraction for elucidating phase I metabolites, the analytes were separated and identified by GC‐MS as well as liquid chromatography‐high resolution‐tandem mass spectrometry (LC‐HR‐MS/MS). For detection of phase II metabolites, the analytes were separated and identified after urine precipitation followed by LC‐HR‐MS/MS. The following metabolic steps could be postulated: hydrolysis of the amide, N‐oxide formation, N‐ and/or O‐demethylation, oxidation of the piperazine ring to the corresponding keto‐piperazine, piperazine ring opening followed by oxidation of a methylene group to the corresponding imide, and hydroxylation of the phenyl group. Furthermore, N‐acetylation, glucuronidation and sulfation were observed. Using human CYPs, CYP1A2, CYP2C19, CYP2D6, and/or CYP3A4 were found to catalyze N‐oxide formation and N‐, O‐demethylation and/or oxidation. Mostly MeOP and N‐oxide‐MeOP but to a minor degree also other metabolites could be detected in the GC‐MS and LC‐MSn SUSAs. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Glycopeptidolipids (GPLs) are abundant in the cell walls of different species of mycobacteria and consist of tripeptide‐amino‐alcohol core of D‐Phe‐D‐allo‐Thr‐D‐Ala‐L‐alaninol linked to 3‐hydroxy or 3‐methoxy C26–34 fatty acyl chain at the N‐terminal of D‐Phe via amide linkage, and a 6‐deoxytalose (6‐dTal) and an O‐methyl rhamnose residues, respectively, attach to D‐allo‐Thr and the terminal L‐alaninol. They are important cell‐surface antigens that are implicated in the pathogenesis of opportunistic mycobacteria belonging to the Mycobacterium avium complex. In this contribution, we described multiple‐stage linear ion trap in conjunction with high‐resolution mass spectrometry towards structural characterization of complex GPLs as [M + Na]+ ions isolated from Mycobacterium smegmatis, a fast‐growing and non‐pathogenic mycobacterial species. Following resonance excitation in an ion trap, MSn spectra of the [M + Na]+ ions of GPLs contained mainly b and y series ions that readily determine the peptide sequence. Fragment ions from MSn also afford locating the 6‐dTal and O‐methyl rhamnose residues linked to the D‐allo‐Thr and terminal L‐alaninol of the peptide core, respectively, as well as recognizing the modifications of the glycosides, including their acetylation and methylation states and the presence of succinyl group. The GPL families consisting of 3‐hydroxy fatty acyl and of 3‐methoxy fatty acyl substituents are readily distinguishable. The MS profiles of the GPLs from cells are dependant on the conditions they were grown, and several isobaric isomers were identified for many of the molecular species. These multiple‐stage mass spectrometric approaches give detailed structures of GPL in complex mixtures of which the isomeric structures are difficult to define using other analytical methods.

Anti‐MUC1 monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are powerful tools that can be used to recognize cancer‐related MUC1 molecules, the O‐glycosylation status of which is believed to affect binding affinity. We demonstrate the feasibility of using a rapid screening methodology to elucidate those effects. The approach involves i) “one‐bead‐one‐compound”‐based preparation of bilayer resins carrying glycopeptides on the shell and mass‐tag tripeptides coding O‐glycan patterns in the core, ii) on‐resin screening with an anti‐MUC1 mAb, iii) separating positive resins by utilizing secondary antibody conjugation with magnetic beads, and (iv) decoding the mass‐tag that is detached from the positive resins pool by using mass spectrometric analysis. We tested a small library consisting of 27 MUC1 glycopeptides with different O‐glycosylations against anti‐MUC1 mAb clone VU‐3C6. Qualitative mass‐tag analysis showed that increasing the number of glycans leads to an increase in the binding affinity. Six glycopeptides selected from the library were validated by using a microarray‐based assay. Our screening provides valuable information on O‐glycosylations of epitopes leading to high affinity with mAb. 相似文献

We developed a straightforward approach for high‐throughput top–down glycolipidomics based on fully automated chip‐nanoelectrospray (nanoESI) high‐capacity ion trap (HCT) multistage mass spectrometry (MSn) by collision‐induced dissociation (CID) in the negative ion mode. The method was optimized and tested on a polysialylated ganglioside fraction (GT1b), which was profiled by MS1 and sequenced in tandem MS up to MS6 in the same experiment. Screening of the fraction in the MS1 mode indicated the occurrence of six [M ? 2H]2? ions which, according to calculation, support 13 GT1 variants differing in their relative molecular mass due to dissimilar ceramide (Cer) constitutions. By stepwise CID MS2–MS5 on the doubly charged ion at m/z 1077.20 corresponding to a ubiquitous GT1b structure, the complete characterization of its oligosaccharide core including the identification of sialylation sites was achieved. Structure of the lipid moiety was further elucidated by CID MS6 analysis carried out using the Y0 fragment ion, detected in MS5, as a precursor. MS6 fragmentation resulted in a pattern supporting a single ceramide form having the less common (d20 : 1/18 : 0) configuration. The entire top–down experiment was performed in a high‐throughput regime in less than 3 min of measurement, with an analysis sensitivity situated in the subpicomolar range.

Post‐translational glycosylation of proteins play key roles in cellular processes and the site‐specific characterisation of glycan structures is critical to understanding these events. Given the challenges regarding identification of glycan isomers, glycoproteomic studies generally rely on the assumption of conserved biosynthetic pathways. However, in a recent study, we found characteristically different HexNAc oxonium ion fragmentation patterns that depend on glycan structure. Such patterns could be used to distinguish between glycopeptide structural isomers. To acquire a mechanistic insight, deuterium‐labelled glycopeptides were prepared and analysed. We found that the HexNAc‐derived m/z 126 and 144 oxonium ions, differing in mass by H2O, had completely different structures and that high‐mannose N‐glycopeptides generated abundant Hex‐derived oxonium ions. We describe the oxonium ion decomposition mechanisms and the relative abundance of oxonium ions as a function of collision energy for a number of well‐defined glycan structures, which provide important information for future glycoproteomic studies. 相似文献

Galanthamine‐type alkaloids produced by plants of the Amaryllidaceae family are potent acetylcholinesterase inhibitors. One of them, galanthamine, has been marketed as a hydrobromide salt for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. In the present work, gas chromatography with electron impact mass spectrometry (GC‐EIMS) fragmentation of 12 reference compounds isolated from various amaryllidaceous plants and identified by spectroscopic methods (1D and 2D nuclear magnetic resonance, circular dichroism, high‐resolution MS (HRMS) and EIMS) was studied by tandem mass spectrometry (GC‐MS/MS) and accurate mass measurements (GC‐HRMS). The studied compounds showed good peak shape and efficient GC separation with a GC‐MS fragmentation pattern similar to that obtained by direct insertion probe. With the exception of galanthamine‐N‐oxide and N‐formylnorgalanthamine, the galanthamine‐type compounds showed abundant [M]+. and [M‐H]+ ions. A typical fragmentation pattern was also observed, depending on the substituents of the skeleton. Based on the fragmentation pathways of reference compounds, three other galanthamine‐type alkaloids, including 3‐O‐(2′‐butenoyl)sanguinine, which possesses a previously unelucidated structure, were identified in Leucojum aestivum ssp. pulchelum, a species endemic to the Balearic islands. GC‐MS can be successfully applied to Amaryllidaceae plant samples in the routine screening for potentially new or known bioactive molecules, chemotaxonomy, biodiversity and identification of impurities in pharmaceutical substances.

In the analysis by electrospray (+) of an extract of hemp sprouts put in a polypropylene vial, we found a large contamination of a plastic additive. It was characterized by multiple‐stage MSn experiments (MS ÷ MS10) and identified as tris(2,4‐di‐tert‐butylphenyl)phosphate, also known with the synonyms F32IRS6B46, oxidized Naugard 524, and others. The MS2 ÷ MS7 spectra are characterized by consecutive eliminations of six isobutene molecules from the tert‐butyl moieties, some of them also occurring in the ion source. The first three are calculated to occur preferentially from the ortho positions, whereas eliminations from the para positions are estimated to be less favored at about 5–6 kcal/mol in each step. Once the first three isobutene molecules are eliminated, the remaining three are lost from the tert‐butyl moieties in para positions (MS5 ÷ MS7), yielding protonated triphenylphosphate, whose structure has been confirmed by the MS2 spectrum of triphenylphosphate standard: the latter spectrum is almost superimposable with the MS8 spectrum of the analyte under investigation. MS8 and MS9 spectra show main losses of water and C6H4 molecules. The MS10 spectrum of precursor ions at m/z 215 shows the gas‐phase addition of water and methanol and ions at m/z 168, attributable to the loss of a phosphorus oxide radical. Density functional theory (DFT) calculations (Becke 3LYP [B3LYP] 6‐311+G(2d,2p)) have been used to evaluate structure and stability of different ionic and neutral species involved in the decomposition pathways and to calculate thermochemical data of the decomposition reactions. This multistep mass analysis combined with theoretical calculations resulted to be particularly useful and effective, yielding chemical, thermochemical, and mechanistic data of significant utility in the structural characterization and identification of the unknown analyte as well as to define its gas‐phase reactivity under a multistep low‐energy collision‐induced dissociation regime. 相似文献

Autoxidation of flavan‐3‐ols was carried out in aqueous/methanol model solutions under mildly acidic conditions (pH 6.0), and these autoxidation products were analyzed by using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). The results showed that (+)‐catechins and (?)‐epicatechins generated autoxidation reaction with each other to form a series of oligomers that had the same [M ? H]? molecular ions (MS1) as those of natural procyanidins, but had completely different fragment ions (MS2). According to MS/MS analysis, the major fragments of these oligomers were derived not only from the retro‐Diels–Alder (RDA) dissociations on the C‐rings of the flavan‐3‐ol units, but also from the quinone‐methide (QM) cleavage of the interflavan linkages (IFL), and thus they were identified as B‐type dehydrodicatechins, B‐type dehydrotricatechins and A‐type dehydrotricatechins, respectively. The potential structures of their [M ? H]? molecular ions and partial fragment ions were deduced on the basis of the MS/MS characterization and the oxidation of flavan‐3‐ols in previous reports. Some specific fragment ions were found to be very useful for identifying the autoxidation oligomers (the B‐type dehydrodicatechins at m/z 393, the B‐type dehydrotricatechins at m/z 681 and the A‐type dehydrotricatechins at m/z 725).

In vivo metabolites of ketorolac (KTC) have been identified and characterized by using liquid chromatography positive ion electrospray ionization high resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI‐HR‐MS/MS) in combination with online hydrogen/deuterium exchange (HDX) experiments. To identify in vivo metabolites, blood urine and feces samples were collected after oral administration of KTC to Sprague–Dawley rats. The samples were prepared using an optimized sample preparation approach involving protein precipitation and freeze liquid separation followed by solid‐phase extraction and then subjected to LC/HR‐MS/MS analysis. A total of 12 metabolites have been identified in urine samples including hydroxy and glucuronide metabolites, which are also observed in plasma samples. In feces, only O‐sulfate metabolite and unchanged KTC are observed. The structures of metabolites were elucidated using LC‐MS/MS and MSn experiments combined with accurate mass measurements. Online HDX experiments have been used to support the structural characterization of drug metabolites. The main phase I metabolites of KTC are hydroxylated and decarbonylated metabolites, which undergo subsequent phase II glucuronidation pathways. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. 相似文献

Ding‐Zhi‐Xiao‐Wan (DZXW) is a famous traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) formula, which is composed of four herbs, Ginseng Radix, Poria, Polygala Radix and Acori Tatarinowii Rhizoma. It has been popularly used for the treatment of emotional disease, like Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, depression, anxiety, forgetfulness and neurasthenia. In this research, a high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with ion‐trap tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC‐IT‐MSn) method along with a high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry (HPLC‐Q‐TOF‐MS) method in negative ion mode was established to investigate the major constitutions in DZXW. The extracts were prepared by ultra‐sonication in ethyl acetate, n‐butanol, 95% ethanol and deionized water sequentially as well as in deionized water directly. A Kromasil C18 column was used to separate the extracts of DZXW. Acetonitrile and 0.1% aqueous formic acid (V/V) were used as the mobile phase. A total of 64 components were characterized, including 16 triterpenoids, 14 Polygala saponins, 10 oligosaccharide esters, 6 sucrose esters, 2 xanthone C‐glycosides and 16 ginsenosides. 相似文献
