Quantification of granisetron in human plasma by liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray tandem mass spectrometry

A simple, sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry method was developed and validated for the assay of granisetron in human plasma. Following liquid-liquid extraction, the analytes were separated using an isocratic mobile phase on a reversed-phase C18 column and analyzed by MS in the multiple reaction monitoring mode using the respective [M+H]+ ions, m/z 313/138 for granisetron and m/z 409/228 for the IS. The assay exhibited a linear dynamic range of 0.1-20 ng/mL for granisetron in human plasma. The lower limit of quantification was 100 pg/mL with a relative standard deviation of less than 5%. Acceptable precision and accuracy were obtained for concentrations over the standard curve range. A run time of 2.0 min for each sample made it possible to analyze more than 400 human plasma samples per day. The validated method has been successfully used to analyze human plasma samples for application in pharmacokinetic, bioavailability or bioequivalence studies.

Determination of thyreostats in urine and thyroid gland by ultra high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry

Thyreostatic compounds could be illegally administered to animals in order to obtain a weight gain due to a higher retention of water in the edible tissue and the gastro-intestinal tract. In the European Union their use for animal production is banned since 1981. Recently a highly sensitive method exploiting the determination of thyreostats with 3-iodobenzylbromide prior to purification to determine thyreostats in urine and other matrices was reported. For the first time, the UPLC instrumentation was used to separate the 3-iodobenzyl derivatives of various thyreostats. The deuterated internal standards tapazole-d₃ and propylthiouracil-d₅ were for the first time used for the quantification of tapazole, thiouracil, methylthiouracil, propylthiouracil, phenylthiouracil and mercaptobenzimidazole. The confirmative quantitative liquid chromatographic tandem mass spectrometric (LC–MS/MS) method was validated according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC. The decision limit (CCα) and the detection capability (CCβ) were found to be for all compounds below the recommended value of 10 μg kg⁻¹.     

Mass spectrometry in the study of anthocyanins and their derivatives: differentiation of Vitis vinifera and hybrid grapes by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry

A mass spectrometric-based procedure for anthocyanin profiling was set up to distinguish authentic Vitis vinifera from hybrid red grapevine cultivars. 3-O-Monoglucoside and the related acetyl-, p-coumaryl- and caffeoyl-monoglucoside anthocyanins occurred only in Vitis vinifera, whereas 3,5-O-diglucoside and the substituted acetyl-, p-coumaryl-, feruloyl- and caffeoyl-diglucoside anthocyanins were the additional pigments in hybrid grapevines. The procedure was applied expressly to identify red grape cultivars based on the anthocyanin chemo-type determination. In particular, a red grape cultivar, having 3,5-O-diglucoside anthocyanins and a novel class of anthocyanin monoglucosides, such as cyanidin-3-O-, cyanidin-3-O-(6-O-acetyl)- and cyanidin-3-O-(6-O-p-coumaryl)pentoside, was classified as hybrid. A second vine cultivar, characterized exclusively by 3-O-monoglucoside anthocyanins, was included among the Vitis vinifera species. Anthocyanin profiling by mass spectrometry could represent the core of a chemotaxonomic procedure for distinguishing American and European grapevines based on the identification of post-synthetic anthocyanidin modification.

Optimization for detection of flunarizine by high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray/mass spectrometry

This paper describes a newly developed high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray/mass spectrometry (HPLC/ES/MS) method for the determination of flunarizine (FZ) in artificial cerebrospinal fluid. The optimization for the detection of FZ in biological fluid by LC/ES/MS was investigated. The effects of solvent composition, the addition of modifier and flow rate on the detection of FZ by ES/MS were examined. The detection limit of this method (0.8 nM) proved to be much better than previously reported methods. Satisfactory accuracy (98.2–106.0%) of this newly developed method was obtained. The application of this method was demonstrated by analyzing FZ in rat microdialysis samples.     

Novel approaches in analysis of Fusarium mycotoxins in cereals employing ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry

Rapid, simple and cost-effective analytical methods with performance characteristics matching regulatory requirements are needed for effective control of occurrence of Fusarium toxins in cereals and cereal-based products to which they might be transferred during processing. Within this study, two alternative approaches enabling retrospective data analysis and identification of unknown signals in sample extracts have been implemented and validated for determination of 11 major Fusarium toxins. In both cases, ultra-high performance liquid chromatography (U-HPLC) coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (HR MS) was employed. ¹³C isotopically labeled surrogates as well as matrix-matched standards were employed for quantification. As far as time of flight mass analyzer (TOF-MS) was a detection tool, the use of modified QuEChERS (quick easy cheap effective rugged and safe) sample preparation procedure, widely employed in multi-pesticides residue analysis, was shown as an optimal approach to obtain low detection limits. The second challenging alternative, enabling direct analysis of crude extract, was the use of mass analyzer based on Orbitrap technology. In addition to demonstration of full compliance of the new methods with Commission Regulation (EC) No. 401/2006, also their potential to be used for confirmatory purposes according to Commission Decision 2002/657/EC has been critically assessed.

Sheath liquid interface for the coupling of normal-phase liquid chromatography with electrospray mass spectrometry and its application to the analysis of neoflavonoids

A novel interface that allows normal-phase liquid chromatography to be coupled with electrospray ionization (ESI) is reported. A make-up solution of 60 mM ammonium acetate in methanol, infused at a 5 microl min(-1) flow-rate at the tip of the electrospray probe, provides a sheath liquid which is poorly miscible with the chromatographic effluent, but promotes efficient ionization of the targeted analytes. Protonated molecules generated in the ESI source were subjected to tandem mass spectrometric experiments in a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer. The main fragmentation reactions were characterized for each analyte and specific mass spectral transitions were used to acquire chromatographic data in the multiple reaction monitoring detection mode. Results obtained during optimization of the sheath liquid composition and flow-rate suggest that the electrospray process was mainly under the control of the make-up solution, and that it forms an external charged layer around a neutral chromatographic mobile phase core. This sheath liquid interface was implemented for the analysis of some neoflavonoid compounds and its performance was evaluated. Limits of detection were established for calophillolide, inophyllum B, inophyllum P and inophyllum C at 100, 25, 15 and 100 ng ml(-1), respectively.     

Quantitative analysis of ES-285, an investigational marine anticancer drug,in human,mouse, rat,and dog plasma using coupled liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry

A method was developed for the quantitative analysis of the novel anticancer agent ES-285 (spisulosine; free base) in human, mouse, rat, and dog plasma using high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry in order to support pre-clinical and clinical studies with the drug. Sample preparation was carried out by protein precipitation with acetonitrile, containing isotopically labeled (d(3)) ES-285 as internal standard. Aliquots of 10 micro l of the supernatant were injected directly on to an Inertsil ODS-3 column (50 x 2.0 mm i.d., 5 micro m). Elution was carried out using methanol-10 mM ammonium formate (pH 4) in water (80 : 20, v/v) pumped at a flow-rate of 0.2 ml min(-1) with a run time of 8 min. Multiple reaction monitoring chromatograms obtained on an API365 triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer were used for quantification. The lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) was 10 ng ml(-1) in human, mouse, rat, and dog plasma and the linear dynamic range extended to 500 ng ml(-1). A full validation of the method was performed in human plasma, and partial validations were performed in mouse, rat and dog plasma. Accuracies and precisions were <20% at the LLOQ concentration and <15% for all other concentrations in all matrices. ES-285 was stable during all steps of the assay. Thus far this method has been used successfully to analyze over 500 samples in pre-clinical trials, and will be implemented in the planned clinical phase I studies.     

Proteomic profiling of human urinary proteome using nano-high performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

Urine, a blood filtrate produced by the urinary system, is an ideal bio-sample and a rich source of biomarkers for diagnostic information. Many components in urine are useful in clinical diagnosis, and urinary proteins can be strong indication for many diseases such as proteinuria, kidney, bladder and urinary tract diseases. To enhance our understanding of urinary proteome, the urine proteins were prepared by different sample cleanup preparation methods and identified by nano-high performance liquid chromatography electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry followed by peptide fragmentation pattern. The experimental results demonstrated that a total of 2283 peptides, corresponding to 311 unique proteins, were identified from human urine samples, in which 104 proteins with higher confidence levels. The present study was designed to establish optimal techniques to create a proteomic map of normal urinary proteins. Also, a discussion of novel approaches to urine protein cleanup and constituents is given.

Identification of indigoid dyes in natural organic pigments used in historical art objects by high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionization mass spectrometry

Pigments are among the most important components of historical paintings and textiles and their nature provides the unique character of color. They can be divided into two main groups: inorganic and organic, extracted from plants or animals. Their identification is a necessary stage in the conservation of art objects. Reversed-phase liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and UV/visible spectrophotometric methods were elaborated for the identification of indigoid (indigo, indirubin, isoindigo, isoindirubin) color components of natural dyestuffs and their natural or synthetic precursors (indican, isatin, indoxyl, 2-indolinone). ES-MS offers detection limits in the range 0.03-5.00 microg ml(-1) for the color compounds examined. The method developed made it possible to identify indigo and its isomers in genuine Indian indigo, indigo from woad and Tyrian Purple. It was applied to the identification of natural dyes on fiber from a 19th century Japanese tapestry, 'Cranes in the landscape'. A procedure based on freezing and grinding of a sample before the extraction of dyes from the textile was developed. The components of the extract obtained were identified after acidic hydrolysis as indigotin and methylene blue.
