CE- and HPLC-TOF-MS for the characterization of phenolic compounds in olive oil

We present an easy and rapid method for the analysis of phenolic compounds in extra-virgin olive oil by CZE coupled with ESI-TOF-MS. Optimum electrophoretic separation was obtained using a basic carbonate electrolyte. We thus achieved the determination of several important families (phenyl alcohols, phenyl acids, lignans, flavonoids, and secoiridoids) of the polar fraction of the olive oil. Furthermore, other "unknown" compounds were also identified. In addition to the CZE method, HPLC analyses were made, separating compounds belonging to the main families present in this polyphenolic fraction, as well as other new compounds. We compared the results obtained with both techniques and found it was possible to determine more than 45 compounds with both methods. The sensitivity, together with mass accuracy and true isotopic pattern of the TOF-MS, allowed the identification of a broad series of known and so far not described phenolic compounds present in extra-virgin olive oil.     

Nano and rapid resolution liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–time of flight mass spectrometry to identify and quantify phenolic compounds in olive oil

The applicability of nanoLC‐ESI‐TOF MS for the analysis of phenolic compounds in olive oil was studied and compared with a HPLC method. After the injection, the compounds were focused on a short capillary trapping column (100 μm id, effective length 20 mm, 5 μm particle size) and then nanoLC analysis was carried out in a fused silica capillary column (75 μm id, effective length 10 μm, 3 μm particle size) packed with C18 stationary phase. The mobile phase was a mixture of water + 0.5% acetic acid and ACN eluting at 300 nL/min in a gradient mode. Phenolic compounds from different families were identified and quantified. The quality parameters of the nanoLC method (linearity, LODs and LOQs, repeatability) were evaluated and compared with those obtained with HPLC. The new methodology presents better sensitivity (reaching LOD values below 1 ppb) with less consumption of mobile phases, but worse repeatability, especially inter‐day repeatability, resulting in more difficulties to get highly accurate quantification. The results described in this article open up the application fields of this technique to cover a larger variety of compounds and its advantages will make it especially useful for the analysis of samples containing low concentration of phenolic compounds, as for instance, in biological samples.     

Glycation sites in neoglycoglycoconjugates from the terminal monosaccharide antigen of the O‐PS of Vibrio cholerae O1, serotype Ogawa,and BSA revealed by matrix‐assisted laser desorption–ionization tandem mass spectrometry

We present the MALDI‐TOF/TOF‐MS analyses of various hapten–bovine serum albumin (BSA) neoglycoconjugates obtained by squaric acid chemistry coupling of the spacer‐equipped, terminal monosaccharide of the O‐specific polysaccharide of Vibrio cholerae O1, serotype Ogawa, to BSA. These analyses allowed not only to calculate the molecular masses of the hapten–BSA neoglycoconjugates with different hapten–BSA ratios (4.3, 6.6 and 13.2) but, more importantly, also to localize the covalent linkages (conjugation sites) between the hapten and the carrier protein. Determination of the site of glycation was based on comparison of the MALDI‐TOF/TOF‐MS analysis of the peptides resulting from the digestion of BSA with similar data resulting from the digestion of BSA glycoconjugates, followed by sequencing by MALDI‐TOF/TOF‐MS/MS of the glycated peptides. The product‐ion scans of the protonated molecules were carried out with a MALDI‐TOF/TOF‐MS/MS tandem mass spectrometer equipped with a high‐collision energy cell. The high‐energy collision‐induced dissociation (CID) spectra afforded product ions formed by fragmentation of the carbohydrate hapten and amino acid sequences conjugated with fragments of the carbohydrate hapten. We were able to identify three conjugation sites on lysine residues (Lys235, Lys437 and Lys455). It was shown that these lysine residues are very reactive and bind lysine specific reagents. We presume that these Lys residues belong to those that are considered to be sterically more accessible on the surface of the tridimensional structure. The identification of the y‐series product ions was very useful for the sequencing of various peptides. The series of a‐ and b‐product ions confirmed the sequence of the conjugated peptides.

Reflectron MALDI TOF and MALDI TOF/TOF mass spectrometry reveal novel structural details of native lipooligosaccharides

Lipooligosaccharides (LOS) are powerful Gram-negative glycolipids that evade the immune system and invade host animal and vegetal cells. The structural elucidation of LOS is pivotal to understanding the mechanisms of infection at the molecular level. The amphiphilic nature of LOS has been the main obstacle for structural analysis by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS). Our approach has resolved this important issue and has permitted us to obtain reflectron MALDI mass spectra of LOS to reveal the fine chemical structure with minimal structural variations. The high-quality MALDI mass spectra show LOS species characteristic of molecular ions and defined fragments due to decay in the ion source. The in-source decay yields B-type ions, which correspond to core oligosaccharide(s), and Y-type ions, which are related to lipid A unit(s). MALDI tandem time-of-flight (TOF/TOF) MS of lipid A allowed for the elucidation of its structure directly from purified intact LOS without the need for any chemical manipulations. These findings constitute a significant advancement in the analysis of such an important biomolecule by MALDI MS.     

Structural variability of endotoxins from R-type isogenic mutants of Shigella sonnei

The structural variations in the rough-type endotoxins [lipopolysaccharides (LPSs)] of Shigella sonnei mutant strains (S. sonnei phase II-4303, R41, 562H and 4350) were investigated by Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) and tandem MS. A series of S. sonnei mutants had previously been the subject of analytical studies on the biosynthesis of heptose components in the core oligosaccharide region of LPSs. This study gives a complete overview on the structures of the full core and lipid A of S. sonnei mutant strains by MS. We found that the LPSs of the isogenic rough mutants were formed in a step-like manner containing 0:1:2:3 heptose in the deep core region of 4350, 562H, R41 and 4303, respectively, and the longest LPS from the mutant S. sonnei 4303 contained also five hexoses. The structural variations in the lipid A moiety and in the oligosaccharide part of the intact LPS were followed by MALDI-TOF-MS/MS. For the dissolution and the ionization of the samples, 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid in citric acid solution was applied as matrix. The detailed evaluation of the mass spectra indicates heterogeneity in the lipid part due to the differences in the phosphate and fatty acid composition.     

Identification of the metabolites of anti‐inflammatory compound clematichinenoside AR in rat intestinal microflora

Clematichinenoside AR (C‐AR), a pentacyclic triterpenoid saponin with anti‐inflammatory and anti‐rheumatoid activities, is the main active component of the traditional Chinese medicine Clematidis Radix et Rhizoma. However, its poor oral absorption indicated that not only the parent compound C‐AR itself, but also its metabolites could be responsible for the pharmacological effects in rats. The present study aimed to investigate the metabolism of C‐AR in rat intestinal microflora, where C‐AR was extensively metabolized. C‐AR was incubated with the content of the large intestine. The culture solution was collected at different time points and analyzed for the metabolites of C‐AR. Eight metabolites were identified by liquid chromatography/quadrupole time‐of‐flight mass spectrometry. M1, M2 and M5 were the major metabolites. In addition, it was proposed that deglycosylation was the only pathway contributing to the biotransformation of C‐AR in rat intestinal microflora. Copyright © 2013 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Do collisions inside the collision cell play a relevant role in CID‐LIFT experiments?

Collision experiments are a valid approach to characterize the ionic species generated by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI). When a time-of-flight analyzer is employed, three different approaches are available for these experiments: the postsource decay (PSD), the LIFT and the MALDI-TOF/TOF. The last two are of particular interest because of the overcoming of the PSD problems related to mass calibration of the product ion spectra. Experiments performed by LIFT on linear or cyclic peptides, in presence or in absence of collision gas in the collision cell, gave evidence of an unexpected behavior: the two spectra were practically superimposable, and in the former case only a few new fragmentation channels were activated with low yield. These results mean that the selected ion exhibits a large amount of internal energy, capable of promoting fragmentation processes in the time window corresponding to the flight time between ion source and the acceleration electrode placed after the collision cell. Experiments performed by varying the plume density show that this internal energy uptake occurs in the expanding plume, through multiple collisions. The LIFT data have been compared with those achieved by collisions of ESI-generated [MH](+) ions of angotensin II performed under 'in-source' conditions and by triple-quadrupole experiments. The obtained results show a strong similarity among the spectra, indicating that the internal energy uptake in a MALDI source is comparable with that of 40-eV ions colliding with Ar in a triple-quadrupole instrument.     

A 2‐D‐HPLC‐CE platform coupled to ESI‐TOF‐MS to characterize the phenolic fraction in olive oil

A 2‐D‐HPLC/CE method was developed to separate and characterize more in depth the phenolic fraction of olive oil samples. The method involves the use of semi‐preparative HPLC (C18 column 250×10 mm, 5 μm) as a first dimension of separation to isolate phenolic fractions from commercial extra‐virgin olive oils and CE coupled to TOF‐MS (CE‐TOF‐MS) as a second dimension, to analyze the composition of the isolated fractions. Using this method, a large number of compounds were tentatively identified, some of them by first time, based on the information concerning high mass accuracy and the isotopic pattern provided by TOF‐MS analyzer together with the chemical knowledge and the behavior of the compounds in HPLC and CE. From these results it can be concluded that 2‐D‐HPLC‐CE‐MS provides enough resolving power to separate hundreds of compounds from highly complex samples, such as olive oil. Furthermore, in this paper, the isolated phenolic fractions have been used for two specific applications: quantification of some components of extra‐virgin olive oil samples in terms of pure fractions, and in vitro studies of its anti‐carcinogenic capacity.
