Studies on model oligosulfides to understand polysulfide polymers

1-bromo-1-phenylethane was reacted with aqueous sodium disulfide or sodium tetrasulfide to form the 1-phenylethyl polysulfides of sulfur rank 2 or 4 respectively. The distribution of the 1-phenylethyl polysulfides thus formed was studied using¹H NMR and GC-MS analysis. Apart from 1-phenylethyl disulfide and 1-phenylethyl tetrasulfide being produced in large amounts when aqueous sodium disulfide and sodium tetrasulfide were used respectively, the formation of 1-phenylethyl monosulfide in the former case and both mono and disulfide in the latter case, in minor amounts, is also observed. Also, it was found that the undetection of the molecular ion peaks of 1-phenylethyl polysulfides having rank above 2 is due to their thermal decomposition to elemental sulfur, 1-phenylethyl mono and disulfide, under the heating conditions employed for GC-MS analysis.     

Total ion chromatographic fingerprints combined with chemometrics and mass defect filter to predict antitumor components of Picrasma quassioids

A method of total ion chromatogram combined with chemometrics and mass defect filter was established for the prediction of active ingredients in Picrasma quassioides samples. The total ion chromatogram data of 28 batches were pretreated with wavelet transformation and correlation optimized warping to correct baseline drifts and retention time shifts. Then partial least squares regression was applied to construct a regression model to bridge the total ion chromatogram fingerprints and the antitumor activity of P. quassioides. Finally, the regression coefficients were used to predict the active peaks in total ion chromatogram fingerprints. In this strategy, mass defect filter was employed to classify and characterize the active peaks from a chemical point of view. A total of 17 constituents were predicted as the potential active compounds, 16 of which were identified as alkaloids by this developed approach. The results showed that the established method was not only simple and easy to operate, but also suitable to predict ultraviolet undetectable compounds and provide chemical information for the prediction of active compounds in herbs.

Matched filtering with background suppression for improved quality of base peak chromatograms and mass spectra in liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

A time domain filter that combines the properties of matched filtering and two-fold differentiation is presented. The filter coefficients are given by the second derivative of a Gaussian model peak, controlled by the setting of two parameters related to the chromatographic system. The fundamental characteristics of the filter were derived, and its applicability demonstrated for real liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) data. The filter is primarily intended as a fast pre-processing step, for a mass chromatogram with 320 scans over 700 mass channels the computation time was 0.6 s on a standard PC. Base peak chromatograms with improved peak detection capability and mass spectra useful for compound identification were obtained with filtered data. The most significant effect of the described filter is background reduction due to the differentiation, which in combination with the matched filter can be performed with maintained or even improved signal-to-noise ratio.     

MASIC: a software program for fast quantitation and flexible visualization of chromatographic profiles from detected LC-MS(/MS) features

Quantitative analysis of liquid chromatography (LC)-mass spectrometry (MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) data is essential to many proteomics studies. We have developed MASIC(2) to accurately measure peptide abundances and LC elution times in LC-MS/MS analyses. This software program uses an efficient processing algorithm to quickly generate mass specific selected ion chromatograms from a dataset and provides an interactive browser that allows users to examine individual chromatograms with a variety of options.     

Direct eicosanoid profiling of the hypoxic lung by comprehensive analysis via capillary liquid chromatography with dual online photodiode-array and tandem mass-spectrometric detection

Eicosanoids are arachidonic acid-derived mediators, with partly contradictory, incompletely elucidated actions. Thus, epoxyeicosatrienoic acids (EETs) are controversially discussed as putative vasodilatative endothelium-derived hyperpolarizing factors in the cardiovascular compartment but reported as vasoconstrictors in the lung. Inconsistent findings concerning eicosanoid physiology may be because previous methods were lacking sensitivity, identification reliability, and/or have focused on special eicosanoid groups only, ignoring the overall mediator context, and thus limiting the correlation accuracy between autacoid formation and bioactivity profile. Therefore, we developed an approach which enables the simultaneous assessment of 44 eicosanoids, including all representatives of the arachidonic acid cascade, i.e., cytochrome P450, lipoxygenase, cyclooxygenase products, and free isoprostanes as in vivo markers of oxidative stress, in one 50-minute chromatographic run. The approach combines (i) source-specific sample extraction, (ii) rugged isocratic and high-sensitivity capillary liquid-chromatographic separation, and (iii) reliable dual online photodiode-array and electrospray ionization tandem mass-spectrometric identification and quantitation. High sensitivity with limits of quantification in the femtogram range was achieved by use of capillary columns with typical high peak efficiency, due to small inner diameters, and virtually complete substance transfer to the mass spectrometer, due to flow rates in the low microliter range, instead of large inner diameter columns with low chromatographic signal and only partial analyte transfer employed by previous methods. This expeditious, global and sensitive technique provides the prerequisite for new, accurate insights regarding the physiology of specific mediators, for example EETs, in the context of all relevant vasoactive autacoids under varying conditions of oxidative stress by direct comparison of all eicosanoid generation profiles. Indeed, application of comprehensive “eicoprofiling” to hypoxically ventilated rabbit lungs revealed at a glance the enhanced biosynthesis of free EETs in the overall mediator generation context, thus suggesting their hypothetical contribution to hypoxic pulmonary vasoconstriction.

Effect of quality characteristics of single sample preparation steps in the precision and coverage of proteomic studies—A review

Proteomic profiling and biomarker search are analytical tools as many other. Nevertheless, in the proteomic discovery phase considerable sample fractionation is inevitable before readout. Since these procedures are of notable complexity, proteomic tools need in particular analytical quality validation standards as prevail for other analytical methods. With acceptance of the rule of error propagation the values of imprecision and yield of each preparation step determine overall reproducibility and therewith information harvest of a propagated method series. Thereto, we examined recent proteomic reports with reproducibility data and with parallelization, and automation approaches. Based on the data available from literature it is highly probable, that at least a part of current proteomic platforms actually suffer from high technical variance.
