We developed a rapid and efficient means of determining residues of four nitroimidazoles-i.e., dimetridazole, ipronidazole, metronidazole, and ronidazole-and three hydrophilic metabolites- i.e., 2-hydroxymethyl-1-methyl-5-nitroimidazole, 1 -methyl-2-(2'-hydroxyisopropyl)-5-nitroimidazole, and 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-hydroxymethyl-nitroimidazole--in honey. We applied a QuEChERS (Quick, Easy, Cheap, Effective, Rugged, and Safe) procedure improved to suit a nitroimidazole analysis, which is fast (approximately 30 min) and uses less organic solvent. The procedure involves initial single-phase extraction of 5 g of honey with acetonitrile containing 1% acetic acid, followed by liquid-liquid partitioning involving the addition of 5 g sodium chloride, 1.5 g trisodium citrate dihydrate, and 4 g magnesium sulfate. Moreover, matrix from honey was reduced by an SPE method with an alumina-N cartridge. The samples were analyzed using LC/MS/MS. Chromatographic separation of these nitroimidazoles and metabolites was performed in the gradient mode on a pentafluorophenylpropyl-bonded silica column (150x2.0 mm, 3 pm particle size) at 40 degrees C. The mobile phase consisted of a 0.01% acetic acid solution and acetonitrile, and the flow rate was 0.2 mL/min. The method was validated using honey spiked with these nitroimidazoles from 0.1 to 0.5 microg/kg. The overall recovery of the seven nitroimidazoles ranged from 76.1 to 98.5%; intra- and interassay CV values were <9.5 and <14.2%, respectively. The LOQ ranged from 0.1 to 0.5 microg/kg. LC/MS/MS coupled with the QuEChERS method showed good potential as a method for determining nitroimidazole residues in honey.  相似文献

A rapid method has been devised for the direct determination of chlormequat in tomato samples. No clean-up is required, and analysis uses ion-exchange liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry interfaced with electrospray ionization (LC/ESI-MS/MS). A cation-exchange column was used with an aqueous ammonium acetate/acetonitrile mixture as the mobile phase under isocratic conditions. The method was validated in terms of detection limits (LOD), quantitation limits (LOQ), linearity, recovery, precision and accuracy. Good results in the low micro g kg(-1) level were obtained for the LOD and LOQ of chlormequat in tomato samples. Comparison of solvent and matrix-matched calibration curves demonstrated the absence of significant matrix effects and the feasibility of using external calibration. Linearity was established over two orders of magnitude by performing homoscedasticity and Mandel fitting statistical tests. The absence of both constant and proportional systematic errors was verified by evaluating the recovery function, demonstrating good method accuracy. Excellent precision in terms of intra-day repeatability was calculated (RSD% <3.4). Extraction recoveries from tomato products were calculated, by using a labelled internal standard (d(4)-chlormequat), to be in the 93 +/- 5-99 +/- 7% range. The applicability of the method to the determination of chlormequat residues in tomato products was demonstrated.  相似文献

Mass spectrometry of ochratoxin A (OTA) and B (OTB) under electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) was studied. ESI offers higher sensitivities and less fragmentation than APCI. A sensitive LC/MS/MS method for the determination of ochratoxin A (OTA) in human plasma samples was developed. The absolute minimum detection limit was around 10-20 pg per injection, corresponding to 0.5 ppb in an injection equivalent to 20-40microg of human plasma. Ochratoxin B (OTB) was used as an internal standard and its absence in real-life samples was carefully checked before samples were spiked with the internal standard. It was found that these two ochratoxins are susceptible to sodium adduct formation. Fragment ions from the [M + H](+) and [M + Na](+) ions of both OTA and OTB were monitored in the multiple reaction monitoring mode. Three quantitative approaches, standard addition method, internal standard method (using ochratoxin B as an internal standard) and external standard method, were compared in the analysis of human blood plasma. Results from the mass spectrometric method were comparable to those from a conventional LC/fluorescence method. The LC/MS/MS method was also applied to the analysis of contaminated coffee samples.  相似文献

A comprehensive analytical method has been developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of seventeen glucocorticoid residues in eggs and milk. The mass spectrometer parameters, the composition of the mobile phase and the sample preparation method were firstly optimized to obtain maximum sensitivity. The samples were deconjugated with beta-glucuronidase/arylsulfatase enzyme and concentrated using an Oasis HLB solid-phase extraction cartridge, followed by cleanup with a dual Sep-pak silica and aminopropyl cartridge. The analytes were quantified by ultra-performance liquid chromatography (using a C18 column)/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC/ESI-MS/MS) operating in the negative ion mode. The assay for the 17 glucocorticoids was linear over the range of 1-200 microg/L for milk and egg samples with a high correlation coefficient (>0.99). The limits of quantification (LOQs) for the target analytes were 0.04-1.27 microg/kg for the egg samples and 0.03-0.73 microg/kg for the milk samples. The average extraction recoveries of the glucocorticoids from eggs and milk at two concentration levels (spiked at 0.40 and 2.00 microg/kg) were 65.6-118.7% and 61.5-119.6%, respectively, with relative standard deviations between 1.8-17.0% and 2.4-18.4%, respectively. Because of its high sensitivity, good precision and specificity, the method was found to be suitable for trace analysis of synthetic and natural glucocorticoids in complex biosamples such as eggs and milk.  相似文献

Electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)) and liquid chromatography coupled with on-line mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) were applied to characterize saponins in crude extracts from Panax ginseng. The MS(n) data of the [M - H](-) ions of saponins can provide structural information on the sugar sequences of the saccharide chains and on the sapogins of saponins. By ESI-MS(n), non-isomeric saponins and isomeric saponins with different aglycones can be determined rapidly in plant extracts. LC/MS/MS is a good complementary analytical tool for determination of isomeric saponins. These approaches constitute powerful analytical tools for rapid screening and structural assignment of saponins in plant extracts.  相似文献

A simple, fast, and robust method was developed for the determination of fumonisin B1 (FB1), fumonisin B2 (FB2), and fumonisin B3 (FB3) in corn-based human food and animal feed (cornmeal). The method involves a single extraction step followed by centrifugation and filtration before analysis by ultra-performance liquid chromatographylelectrospray ionization (UPLC/ESI)-MS/MS. The LC/MS/MS method developed here represents the fastest and simplest procedure (<30 min) among both conventional HPLC methods and other LC/MS methods using SPE cleanup. The potential for high throughput analysis makes the method particularly beneficial for regulatory agencies and analytical laboratories with a high sample volume. A single-laboratory validation was conducted by testing three different spiking levels (200, 500, and 1000 ng/g for FB1 and FB2; 100, 250, and 500 ng/g for FB3) for accuracy and precision. Recoveries of FB1 ranged from 93 to 98% with RSD values of 3-8%. Recoveries of FB2 ranged from 104 to 108%, with RSD values of 2-6%. Recoveries of FB3 ranged from 94 to 108%, with RSD values of 2-5%.  相似文献

A novel and rapid procedure based on liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) for the determination of dialkyl phosphates (metabolites of organophosphorus pesticides) in human urine has been developed. After addition of 40 mM tetrabutylammonium acetate, 10 microL of urine sample were directly injected into the LC/MS/MS system. The method was validated yielding calibration curves with correlation coefficients greater than 0.997 and repeatability coefficient of variation (CV) lower than 9%. The accuracy and precision were evaluated by direct injection of spiked samples at 10 and 100 microg/L obtaining recoveries between 78 and 119% with coefficients of variation below 12%. Limits of detection of 1 microg/L for diethyl phosphate (DEP), diethylthiophosphate (DETP) and diethyldithiophosphate (DEDTP) and 2 microg/L for dimethyldithiophosphate (DMDTP) were achieved, all the analytes being detected in negative ion mode. The fragmentation pathway of dialkyl phosphates allowed us the use of an additional transition for confirmation in order to improve their identification in real-world samples. The applicability of the LC/MS/MS method was demonstrated by applying it to the analysis of urine samples of farmers exposed to the organophosphorus pesticide chlorpyrifos. Good correlation between application of the product in the field (citrus orchards), concentration levels of dialkyl phosphates and levels of the chlorpyrifos-specific metabolite (1,3,5-trichloro-2-pyridinol) was obtained.  相似文献

This paper describes a selective and sensitive method that uses liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry with positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) for the determination of deltamethrin in a variety of crops. Samples were extracted by conventional high-speed blending. Some samples required no further cleanup; others were cleaned up by gel permeation chromatography, strong cation-exchange cartridges, or partitioning with n-hexane. In the determinative step, the buffered neutral mobile phase, consisting of 10 mM ammonium acetate (pH 6.8) and methanol, and ESI+ provided strong ammonium adduct formation to [M+NH4]+ at m/z 523, and the multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM) transition at m/z 523/281 was used for the quantitation of deltamethrin. A second MRM transition at m/z 525/283 was used for confirmation. The limit of quantitation (LOQ) values were 0.01 mg/kg for edible materials and 0.05 mg/kg for nonedible materials. Mean overall recoveries at the LOQ and the 10-fold LOQ ranged from 73 to 96%, and the relative standard deviations were <10% for all samples materials analyzed.  相似文献

A method has been developed for the determination of acrylamide at the picogram per cubic metre level in particulate-phase outdoor aerosol using high-performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometric detection. Acrylamide was identified by positive ion electrospray mass spectrometry using m/z 72.00/54.90 as monitoring ion transition. The limit of detection, defined as three times the standard deviation of the procedural blanks, was 0.4?pg?m?3 (173?pg absolute amount injected); the repeatability was 8% (evaluated as the relative standard deviation of five consecutive measurements on cleaned quartz fibre filters of acrylamide standard spikes) and the recovery was 52?±?4%. The accuracy of the method (evaluated as relative error) has been estimated to be ?2%. This methodology was used to determine acrylamide concentrations in particulate-phase outdoor aerosol in the Venice Lagoon with concentrations ranging between 0.4 and 12.9?pg?m?3 with an average value of 3.1?pg?m?3.  相似文献

Liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) is one of the most prominent analytical techniques owing to its inherent selectivity and sensitivity. In LC/ESI-MS/MS, chemical derivatization is often used to enhance the detection sensitivity. Derivatization improves the chromatographic separation, and enhances the mass spectrometric ionization efficiency and MS/MS detectability. In this review, an overview of the derivatization reagents which have been applied to LC/ESI-MS/MS is presented, focusing on the applications to low molecular weight compounds.  相似文献

Cysteine residues and disulfide bonds are important for protein structure and function. We have developed a simple and sensitive method for determining the presence of free cysteine (Cys) residues and disulfide bonded Cys residues in proteins (<100 pmol) by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) in combination with protein database searching using the program Sequest. Free Cys residues in a protein were labeled with PEO-maleimide biotin immediately followed by denaturation with 8 M urea. Subsequently, the protein was digested with trypsin or chymotrypsin and the resulting products were analyzed by capillary LC/ESI-MS/MS for peptides containing modified Cys and/or disulfide bonded Cys residues. Although the MS method for identifying disulfide bonds has been routinely employed, methods to prevent thiol-disulfide exchange have not been well documented. Our protocol was found to minimize the occurrence of the thiol-disulfide exchange reaction. The method was validated using well-characterized proteins such as aldolase, ovalbumin, and beta-lactoglobulin A. We also applied this method to characterize Cys residues and disulfide bonds of beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase (five Cys), and human blood group A and B glycosyltransferases (four Cys). Our results demonstrate that beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase contains one free Cys residue and two disulfide bonds, which is in contrast to work previously reported using chemical methods for the characterization of free Cys residues, but is consistent with recently published results from x-ray crystallography. In contrast to the results obtained for beta 1,4-galactosyltransferase, none of the Cys residues in A and B glycosyltransferases were found to be involved in disulfide bonds.  相似文献

A simple and highly sensitive liquid chromatographic/electrospray tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) assay was developed for the simultaneous determination of risperidone (RSP) and its major circulating metabolite 9-hydroxyrisperidone (9-OH-RSP) in the plasma of humans and rats. A simple one-step solvent extraction with 15% methylene chloride in pentane was used to isolate the compounds from plasma. The compounds were eluted from a phenyl-hexyl column and detected with a Perkin-Elmer SCIEX API2000 triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer using positive ion atmospheric pressure electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring. The assay was linear over the range 0.1-100 ng ml(-1) when 0.5 ml of plasma was used in the extraction. The overall intra- (within-day) and inter- (between days) assay variations were < 11%. The variations in the concentrations of two long-term quality control samples from pooled patient plasma samples analyzed over a period of 6 months were approximately 10%. The analysis time for each sample was 4 min and more than 100 samples could be analyzed in one day by running the system overnight. The assay is simple, highly sensitive, selective, precise and fast. This method is being used for the therapeutic drug monitoring of schizophrenic patients treated with RSP and to study the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of RSP and 9-OH-RSP in rats.  相似文献

An analytical method based on on-line solid-phase extraction-liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-ESI-MS/MS) for the determination of glyphosate and aminomethylphosphonic acid (AMPA) residues has been applied to the analysis of water samples within a Round Robin Study. The method had been previously validated in a variety of water samples and it fulfilled all the parameters of precision, accuracy, sensitivity and unequivocal confirmation. The results within the study that we participated were highly satisfactory in all cases with the only exception of glyphosate in groundwater samples, where surprisingly recoveries around 15% were obtained despite the use of isotope-labeled glyphosate as internal standard (I.S.). A slight modification has been introduced in the method, simply consisting of the acidification of sample with hydrochloric acid (HCl) to pH 1. Then, the sample is neutralized and immediately derivatized with 9-fluorenylmethylchloroformate (FMOC) before LC-MS/MS determination. Round Robin Study samples were reanalyzed using this approach, and the recoveries increased up to 98%. A possible explanation might be the slow kinetic interaction between glyphosate and some components of the matrix. These components might act as chelating agents, making glyphosate unavailable for derivatization and therefore for analysis. Several water samples collected at the Mediterranean area of Spain, and previously analyzed and being found to contain glyphosate, were also reanalyzed using this approach, obtaining higher concentrations (between 2 and 14 times) in most of cases.  相似文献

A congener-specific method based on high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/ES-MS/MS) in the negative ion mode was developed for the analysis of hexabromocyclododecane (HBCDD). On a C(18) analytical column, with a methanol/water mobile phase, the alpha-isomer was completely resolved from the beta- and gamma-isomers while the beta- and gamma-isomers were sufficiently resolved at half their peak heights. The ES spray voltage strongly influenced the intensity of the ion signal. For MS, a source temperature of 500 degrees C and a collision energy of 50 eV were found to be optimum for the [M-H](-) to Br(-) transition. Run-to-run and day-to-day (n = 3) variability was minimal, with relative standard deviations of 2.6-4.1 and 2.4-4.4%, respectively. The limit of detection was 4-6 pg on-column. When applied to tissue samples from Lake Winnipeg fish both alpha- and gamma-isomers of HBCDD were found in low-ng/g (lipid corrected) concentrations.  相似文献

Glutathione (GSH) is a tripeptide composed of glutamate, cysteine, and glycine. It is present in practically all cells and has several important roles, such as preventing the oxidation of the sulfhydryl groups of proteins within a cell. Evidence for GSH deficiency or depletion has been found in a variety of diseases and toxicity-related studies, including diabetes and induction of oxidative stress to form reactive oxygen species which cause DNA, lipid, and protein oxidations. A simple, selective, and sensitive analytical method for measuring low levels of GSH in biological fluids would therefore be desirable to conduct GSH deficiency or depletion-related mechanistic toxicity studies. Here a method for both low- and high-level quantitation of GSH from cultured cells and rat liver tissues via liquid chromatography/positive electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) has been developed. The lower limit of quantitation (LOQ) of the method was 5 ng/mL. The method is linear over a wide dynamic concentration range of 5.0 to 5000.0 ng/mL, with a correlation coefficient R2 > 0.99. The intra-day assay precision relative standard deviation (RSD) values for all quality control (QC) samples were < or =16.31%, with accuracy values ranging from 94.13 to 97.80%. The inter-day assay precision RSD values for all QC samples were < or =15.94%, with accuracy values ranging from 94.51 to 100.29%. With this method, low levels of GSH from diethyl maleate (DEM)-treated mouse lymphoma cells, and GSH in rat liver tissues, were quantified.  相似文献

Gatifloxacin is an advanced-generation, 8-methoxyfluoroquinolone that is active against a broad spectrum of pathogens, including antiobiotic resistant Streptococcus pneumoniae. Development of a rapid, sensitive and selective method for the determination of gatifloxacin in human plasma is essential for understanding the pharmacokinetics of the drug when administered orally or intravenously. Solid phase extraction (SPE) using Oasis HLB was used to extract gatifloxacin and the internal standard ciprofloxacin from plasma. A method based on liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) was developed and validated to quantitate gatifloxacin in human plasma. The precursor and major product ions of the analyte were monitored on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with positive ion electrospray ionization (ESI) in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. Mechanisms for the formation of collision-induced dissociation products of gatifloxacin are proposed. Linear calibration curves were generated from 10--1000 ng/mL with coefficients of determination greater than 0.99. The interday and intraday precision (%RSD) was less than 6.0% and accuracy (%error) was less than 5.4% for gatifloxacin. The limit of detection (LOD) for the method was 500 pg/mL based on a signal-to-noise ratio of 3.  相似文献

Electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn) and liquid chromatography coupled with on-line electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MSn) were performed to elucidate the clearage rule of nine investigated C21 steroidal saponins and identify them in the saponin fraction of 90% ethanolic extracts from the root and rhizome of Cynanchum versicolor Bunge. The fragments of C21 steroidal saponins in positive and negative ESI-MSn were used to deduce their mass spectral fragmentation mechanisms, and their structures were further confirmed by ESI-MSn in positive mode. The MSn spectra of the [M+Na]+ ions for saponins provided a wealth of structural information on glycosidic bond cleavage, which allowed a straightforward interpretation of spectra, with respect to the identifications of features such as the sequences of sugars attached to saponins and sugar type. By using LC/ESI-MSn, nine C21 steroidal saponins were detected in the saponin fraction of C. versicolor, and an isomer of atratoglaucoside A was elucidated simultaneously. All nine compounds showed an abundant ion for the loss of 46 Da (HCOOH) from [M+Na]+. The losses of monosaccharide sequences and aglycone as neutral fragmentation from [M+Na-HCOOH]+ were also acquired as the characteristic ions of these C21 steroidal saponins. It provided important information on monosaccharide sequences and in particular on sugar types and could be used to identify and elucidate other C21 steroidal saponins. These studies allowed us to rapidly identify C21 steroidal saponins from Radix cynanchi atrati. It is indicated that the described method had wide applicability to rapidly screen and provide structural confirmation on C21 steroidal saponins in crude materials.  相似文献

This paper describes a rapid method for the determination of 14 kinds of sulfonamides (SAs) in wastewater using SPE, and LC-MS/MS with positive ESI (ESI(+)) and selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The SPE was performed on an Oasis hydrophilic-lipophilic-balanced (HLB) cartridge. Chromatographic separation on a C18 column was achieved using a binary eluent containing methanol and water with 0.2% formic acid. Typical recoveries of the analytes ranged from 22.3 to 87.0% at a fortification level of 100 ng/L. The LODs in wastewater except sulfathiazole (3 ng/L) could be detected and quantified at levels as low as 1 ng/L. Finally, the method was applied to water from the municipal outlet and the aquaculture wastewater effluent. Sulfamethazine (SM(2)), sulfamethoxypyridazine (SMP), and sulfamethoxazole (SMZ) were most frequently found in wastewater in a concentration range between 1.2 and 31.7 ng/L.  相似文献

A rapid and sensitive liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method has been developed and validated for simultaneous quantification of docetaxel and ketoconazole in rat plasma with paclitaxel as internal standard (IS). The analytes were extracted from rat plasma by using a liquid-liquid extraction technique with ethyl acetate and the LC separation was performed on a Cosmosil-C(18) analytical column (150 mm x 2.0 mm i.d., Nacalai Tesque Inc., Japan). The extracted samples were analyzed with LC/MS/MS, operating in selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode. The SRM transitions of precursor ions to product ions were 830.3-->549.1 (m/z) for docetaxel, 531.2-->489.3 (m/z) for ketoconazole, and 876.7-->307.9 (m/z) for the IS. The calibration curves were linear over the range of 2-500 ng/mL for docetaxel and 50-20 000 ng/mL for ketoconazole, with coefficients of correlation above 0.999. The limits of quantification for docetaxel and ketoconazole were both 2 ng/mL. The limit of detection for each analyte was 1 ng/mL. The intra- and inter-day precision (CV) of analysis were within 7%, and the accuracy ranged from 95 to 110%. The overall recoveries for docetaxel and ketoconazole were about 89.0% and 91.1%, respectively. The total analysis time was only 9.0 min. This quantitation method was successfully applied to the simultaneous determination of docetaxel and ketoconazole in rat plasma and some potential interaction was found in the current coadministration pharmacokinetic study. This established method was also utilized in the in vitro and in vivo drug-drug interaction study of docetaxel and ketoconazole (to be published).  相似文献
