离子色谱-三重四极杆质谱法同时测定血浆和尿液中百草枯和敌草快

百草枯和敌草快是广泛使用的非选择性触杀型除草剂,中毒后会造成急性肺损伤,病死率高,同时监测血浆和尿液中百草枯和敌草快的浓度,可以为临床早期诊断和预后提供有价值的信息。血浆和尿液中百草枯和敌草快的主要检测方法为液相色谱-质谱法。百草枯和敌草快为强极性水溶性化合物,在反相色谱柱上难以保留,多采用离子对色谱法或亲水色谱法进行分离。采用离子对色谱法时,加入的离子对试剂有离子抑制作用,降低了质谱检测的灵敏度,还给质谱系统增加了额外的污染;亲水色谱法易受基质成分影响,保留时间不稳定。考虑到百草枯和敌草快在水溶液中以双电荷联吡啶离子状态存在,更适合采用阳离子交换色谱法,建立了离子色谱-三重四极杆质谱测定血浆和尿液中百草枯和敌草快的检测方法。血浆和尿液样品经水稀释后,直接过混合型聚合物反相吸附和弱阳离子交换固相萃取柱（Oasis WCX）净化,经IonPac CS 18型阳离子色谱柱（250 mm×2.0 mm,6.0 μm）分离,以自动在线产生的甲磺酸进行梯度洗脱,色谱柱流出液经阳离子抑制器抑制后进入质谱系统,在ESI⁺ 、多反应监测（MRM）模式下检测,稳定同位素内标法定量。百草枯和敌草快分别在1.0~150 μg/L和0.5~75 μg/L范围内线性关系良好,血浆中的平均基质效应分别为84.2%~89.3%和84.7%~91.1%,尿液中平均基质效应分别为50.3%~58.4%和51.9%~59.4%;血浆中百草枯和敌草快的平均加标回收率分别为93.5%~117%和91.7%~112%,相对标准偏差（RSD）分别为3.4%~16.7%和2.8%~13.2%;尿液中百草枯和敌草快的平均加标回收率分别为90.0%~118%和99.2%~116%,RSD分别为5.6%~14.9%和2.4%~17.3%（n =6）;血浆和尿液中百草枯和敌草快的检出限分别0.3 μg/L和0.2 μg/L,定量限分别为1.0 μg/L和0.5 μg/L。该法灵敏度高,准确性好,可用于血浆和尿液中百草枯和敌草快的中毒检测。

固相萃取净化-超高效液相色谱-高分辨质谱法测定尿液中百草枯和敌草快残留

Development and validation of a specific and sensitive liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for determination of tetrodotoxin in human urine and its pharmacokinetic study

Tetrodotoxin (TTX) exhibits the therapeutic potential in blocking pain and in low doses can safely relieve severe pain. The urinary excretion profiles of TTX in humans have not been reported due to the extremely low lethal dose. In this study, a rapid and specific method based on protein precipitation coupled to liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry was developed to determine the level of TTX in human urine samples. 11-Deoxytetrodotoxin was used as an internal standard (IS). Multiple reaction monitoring mode was used for quantification using target fragment ions m/z 320.0 → 162.1 for TTX and m/z 304.0 → 176.0 for 11-deoxyTTX. The separation of analytes was achieved on a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography column (250 × 4.6 mm, 5.0 μm). The mobile phase consisted of 5 mM ammonium formate in water (pH = 4.50) and 5 mM ammonium formate in acetonitrile (pH = 4.50). The flow rate was set at 0.80 mL/min in a gradient condition. Calibration plots were linear throughout the range 0.986–98.6 ng/mL of TTX in human urine. The intra-assay accuracies and precisions were within the acceptable range. The method was successfully applied to a urinary excretion study after intravenous administration of TTX to healthy volunteers. The developed method will be helpful for future pharmacological studies of TTX.     

Rapid Determination of Tetrodotoxin in Human Plasma by Ultra Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry

A sensitive analytical method was developed to determine tetrodotoxin(TTX) in human plasma samples using protein precipitation, followed by ultra performance liquid chromatography(UPLC) analysis coupled with tandem mass spectrometry(MS/MS) using 11-deoxytetrodotoxin(11-deoxyTTX) as an internal standard. The plasma samples were prepared using protein precipitation prior to being analyzed by UPLC-MS/MS to identify TTX over a zwitterionic-hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography column. The retention time values of TTX and 11-deoxyTTX were 4.12 and 3.67 min, respectively. TTX and 11-deoxyTTX were monitored and quantitated on the basis of their ion transitions for their respective precursor ions to their product ions(i.e., m/z 320.0→162.1 for TTX and m/z 304.0→176.0 for 11-deoxyTTX) in the multiple reaction-monitoring mode. The lower limit of quantification of this method was determined to be 0.0199 ng/mL. This method showed good linearity for plasma samples that contained TTX concentrations in the range of 0.0199-1.99 ng/mL. The specificity, precision, accuracy, matrix effect, and stability characteristics of this method were also examined. The intra-assay precision and accuracy ranged from 1.89% to 6.00% and from 92.21% to 100.00%, whereas the inter-assay precision and accuracy ranged from 0.64% to 7.75% and from 99.38% to 101.26%, respectively. This new method therefore represents a rapid, accurate, reliable, and highly sensitive method for the qualitative and quantitative analyses of a trace amount of TTX in human plasma samples.     

Development and validation of a high-throughput double solid phase extraction-liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the determination of tetrodotoxin in human urine and plasma

A sensitive analytical method for the determination of tetrodotoxin (TTX) in urine and plasma matrices was developed using double solid phase extraction (C18 and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography) and subsequent analysis by HPLC coupled with tandem mass spectrometry. The double SPE sample cleanup efficiently reduced matrix and ion suppression effects. Together with the use of ion pair reagent in the mobile phase, isocratic elution became possible which enabled a shorter analysis time of 5.5 min per sample. The assay results were linear up to 500 ng mL⁻¹ for urine and 20 ng mL⁻¹ for plasma. The limit of detection and limit of quantification were 0.13 ng mL⁻¹ and 2.5 ng mL⁻¹, respectively, for both biological matrices. Recoveries were in the range of 75-81%. To eliminate the effect of dehydration and variations in urinary output, urinary creatinine-adjustment was made. TTX was quantified in eight urine samples and seven plasma samples from eight patients suspected of having TTX poisoning. TTX was detected in all urine samples, with concentrations ranging from 17.6 to 460.5 ng mL⁻¹, but was not detected in any of the plasma samples. The creatinine-adjusted TTX concentration in urine (ranging from 7.4 to 41.1 ng μmol⁻¹ creatinine) correlated well with the degree of poisoning as observed from clinical symptoms.

A Rapid Sample Preparation Procedure Using MonoSpin CBA and Amide Columns for Tetrodotoxin Detection in Serum and Urine Using LC–MS/MS Analysis

Clinical diagnosis of tetrodotoxin (TTX) poisoning can be difficult because of the lack of characteristic morphological findings and a screening test, such as an immunoassay. Here, we present a fully validated method for the analysis of TTX in serum and urine. In this method, serum and urine samples were extracted using MonoSpin CBA or amide columns, followed by LC–MS/MS analysis. The TTX was eluted from the column by 0.1 mL of 10 % acetic acid solution, and was directly injected into LC–MS/MS. An Agilent 1200 HPLC system equipped with a HILIC separation column (Zorbax HILIC Plus 2.1 × 100 mm, 3.5 μm) was used for isocratic elution, with a mobile phase of 10 mM ammonium formate with formic acid (95:5, v/v), along with 5 mM trifluoroacetic acid and 2 % acetonitrile. TTX was detected with an Agilent 6410 mass spectrometer utilizing positive electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring. Limits of quantification for serum and urine were established to be 1 and 0.5 ng mL^?1, respectively. Limits of detection for serum and urine were 0.5 and 0.25 ng mL^?1, respectively. Intra-day and inter-day precision varied from 1.5 to 8.5 %. The recovery was >86.5 % for both matrices. In this method, the sample preparation process prior to injection into the LC–MS/MS takes approximately 10–15 min, which reduces the extraction time to one-tenth of that of previous methods. The application of this method was further verified by analysis of biological materials from a patient suffering from puffer fish poisoning.     

C5–C10 Directly Bonded Tetrodotoxin Analogues: Possible Biosynthetic Precursors of Tetrodotoxin From Newts

The identification of novel tetrodotoxin (TTX, 1 ) analogues would significantly contribute to the elucidation of its biosynthetic pathway. In this study, the first C5–C10 directly bonded TTX analogues, 4,9‐anhydro‐10‐hemiketal‐5‐deoxyTTX ( 2 ) and 4,9‐anhydro‐8‐epi‐10‐hemiketal‐5,6,11‐trideoxyTTX ( 3 ), were found in the newt Cynops ensicauda popei by using a screening method involving HILIC‐LC–MS/MS focused on the fragment ions of TTX analogues, and their structures were elucidated by spectroscopic methods. Compound 2 was detected in a wide range of newt species, and the 2 and TTX contents of 22 newt specimens were correlated (r_s=0.88). Based on these results and its structural features, 2 was predicted to serve as a precursor of TTX that would be directly converted into 4,9‐anhydroTTX ( 4 ) by Baeyer–Villiger‐like oxidation or via 4,9‐anhydro‐5‐deoxyTTX formed by cleavage of the C5–C10 bond. The bicyclic carbon skeletons of 2 and 3 suggested a possible monoterpene origin for TTX.     

Continuous-flow fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry of oligonucleotides

Although frit-fast atom bombardment (frit-FAB) and continuous-flow FAB mass spectrometry have become standard methods for the analysis of peptides and peptide mixtures, these techniques have not been applied previously to the analysis of oligonucleotides. Mobilephase composition, flow rate, and sample size were optimized for the analysis of oligonucleotides by negative ion frit-FAB mass spectrometry (a type of continuous-flow FAB mass spectrometry). With a mobile phase consisting of methanol/water/triethanolamine (80:20:0.5, v/v/w), flow injection frit-FAB analysis of oligonucleotides showed lower limits of detection compared to standard probe FAB mass spectrometry. For example, in order to obtain a signal-to-noise ratio of 3:1, 38 prnol of d(GTIAAC) were required for frit-FAB mass spectrometry and 62 pmol were required for standard probe FAB mass spectrometry. The largest difference between frit-FAB and standard probe FAB was observed for d(pC)₅, for which the limit of detection by frit-FAB was approximately 11-fold lower than by standard FAB mass spectrometry. Adjustment of the mobile phase to pH 7 with trifluoroacetic acid increased the limit of detection (reduced sensitivity) a minimum of sixfold. Equimolar mixtures of two or three oligonucleotides produced deprotonated molecules in identical relative abundances whether analyzed by frit-FAB or standard probe FAB mass spectrometry. Finally, frit-FAB liquid chromatography mass spectrometry was demonstrated by separating mixtures of oligonucleotides on a β -cyclodextrin high-performance liquid chromatography column with a mobile phase containing methanol, water, and triethanolamine.

The use of online heart‐cutting high‐performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap mass spectrometry in the identification of impurities in vidarabine monophosphate

It is difficult to identify unknown impurities in nucleotide analogues by mass spectrometry because mass‐spectrometry‐incompatible mobile phases need to be used to separate the major ingredient from impurities. In this study, vidarabine monophosphate was selected, and unknown impurities were identified by online heart‐cutting two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography and linear ion trap mass spectrometry. The one‐dimensional reversed‐phase column was filled with a mobile phase containing nonvolatile salt. In two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography, we used an Acclaim Q1 column with volatile salt, and the detection wavelength was 260 nm. The mass spectrum was scanned in positive‐ and negative‐ion mode. The online heart‐cutting and online demineralization technique ensured that the mobile phase was compatible with mass spectrometry; seven impurities were identified by MS² and MS³ fragments. The mass fragmentation patterns of these impurities were investigated. The two isomers were semiprepared and complemented by nuclear magnetic resonance. The results were further compared with those of normal‐phase high‐performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry. The online heart‐cutting two‐dimensional high‐performance liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry was superior in identifying more impurities. The method solves the problem of incompatibility between the mobile phase and mass spectrometry, so it is suitable for identifying unknown impurities. This method may also be used for investigating impurities in other nucleotide analogues.
