Schreiner T, Morlock GE. Non-target bioanalytical eight-dimensional hyphenation including bioassay, heart-cut trapping, online desalting, orthogonal separations and mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2021; 1647:462154. [PMID: 33957351 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2021.462154] [Citation(s) in RCA: 20] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2020] [Revised: 03/22/2021] [Accepted: 04/08/2021] [Indexed: 12/17/2022]
Abstract
It is still a challenge to discover and identify individual bioactive compounds directly in multicomponent mixtures. Current workflows are too tedious for routine use. Hence, the hyphenation of separation and detection techniques is a powerful tool to maximize the information obtained by a single sample run. A robust eight-dimensional (8D) hyphenation was developed. Orthogonal separations, biological assay detection, analyte trapping, desalting, and physico-chemical detections were arranged in the following order, i.e. 1) normal phase high-performance thin-layer chromatography (NP-HPTLC) separation, 2) Vis detection, 3) UV detection, 4) fluorescence detection (FLD), 5) bioassay for effect-directed analysis (EDA), 6) heart-cut trapping/desalting/elution to reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography (RP-HPLC) separation, 7) photodiode array (PDA) and 8) mass spectrometry (MS) detection. For the first time, the hyphenation exploited online analyte trapping to desalt the eluted bioactive zone from the plate containing highly salted bioassay media. Subsequent valve switching guided the trapped analyte(s) to the main column, followed by multiple detection. As proof-of-principle, cinnamon samples were analyzed by NP-HPTLC-UV/Vis/FLD-EDA-RP-HPLC-PDA-MS, whereby a bioactive zone was separated into two distinct peaks detected by PDA and MS to be 2-methoxy cinnamaldehyde and cinnamaldehyde. The developed 8D hyphenation is applicable for routine, allowing the non-target high-throughput screening of complex samples for individual bioactive compounds.

Abstract
Heparin is a linear sulfated polysaccharide. It is composed of a repeating disaccharide unit with different sulfo patterns. The compositional analysis after heparin was decomposed to disaccharides and enzyme resistant domains is an important way to delve into its structure. Strong anion exchange (SAX) chromatography is commonly used for the compositional analysis due to its high resolution, stability and capability of quantitation. However, nonvolatile salt in mobile phase is not compatible with MS, then the structural domains cannot be identified without standards. Here, a new two-dimensional liquid chromatography system, multiple heart cut (MHC), was developed and linked to mass spectrometry (MS) directly to provide a comprehensive analysis of enzyme digested heparin. SAX was applied as the first dimensional chromatography, in which 17 peaks were observed and integrated in the digested heparin. Size-exclusion chromatography (SEC) was used as the second dimensional chromatography to desalt efficiently. Structural information of each component was then obtained with MS, including eight common disaccharides, eight enzyme resistant tetrasaccharides and a heparin-core protein linkage domain. The comparison of enzyme digested heparins obtained from different vendors using this system suggested their similar major structure and activity, but slightly different production processes.

Abstract
Microdialysis is a powerful method for in vivo neurochemical analyses. It allows fluid sampling in a dynamic manner in specific brain regions over an extended period of time. A particular focus has been the neurochemical analysis of extracellular fluids to explore central nervous system functions. Brain microdialysis recovers neurotransmitters, low-molecular-weight neuromodulators and neuropeptides of special interest when studying behavior and drug effects. Other small molecules, such as central metabolites, are typically not assessed despite their potential to yield important information related to brain metabolism and activity in selected brain regions. We have implemented a liquid chromatography online mass spectrometry metabolomics platform for an expanded analysis of mouse brain microdialysates. The method is sensitive and delivers information for a far greater number of analytes than commonly used electrochemical and fluorescent detection or biochemical assays. The metabolomics platform was applied to the analysis of microdialysates in a foot shock-induced mouse model of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The rich metabolite data information was then used to delineate affected prefrontal molecular pathways that reflect individual susceptibility for developing PTSD-like symptoms. We demonstrate that hypothesis-free metabolomics can be adapted to the analysis of microdialysates for the discovery of small molecules with functional significance.

Abstract
There is an increasing need for new analytical methods that can handle a large number of analytes in complex matrices. Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) has recently been demonstrated as an important supplement to reversed-phase liquid chromatography for polar analytes, particularly endogenous compounds. With the increasing popularity of HILIC, progressively more polar phases with diverse functional groups have been developed. In addition, the coupling of HILIC to mass spectrometry offers the advantages of improved sensitivity by employing an organic-rich mobile phase. This article reviews recent applications of HILIC for the analysis of endogenous and pharmaceutical compounds in plasma samples. Furthermore, based on recent studies, we provide a discussion of column selection, sample pretreatment for HILIC analysis, and detection sensitivity.

Abstract
In France, workplace testing of drugs of abuse and psychotropic drugs is rarely performed; meanwhile it is a major public health problem. Furthermore, France is the European country that has been associated with the highest increase of the use of drugs of abuse, particularly cannabis. So workplace biological screening of drugs of abuse and of psychotropic drugs exposure is of major concern. New analytical techniques have been developed during the last years. The authors will consider analytical screening of drugs of abuse and particularly the comparison of analytical techniques applied to urine and saliva. The advantages and the disadvantages of these two matrices will be considered. Urinary and blood quantification will be reviewed, but also the interest of hair testing to explore chronic exposure. The research of psychotropic drugs in biological fluids is also a part of this paper. New analytical trends are promising and complete analysis of these substances will be soon routinely possible in blood using a single spot test.

Abstract
Increasing emphasis has been placed on quantitative characterization of drug metabolites during drug discovery and development. Due to the more polar nature of drug metabolites, quantitative analysis using traditional reversed-phase liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (RPLC–MS/MS) can be quite challenging. As an alternative chromatographic mode, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) offers unique advantages for analysis of polar metabolites, providing better retention/separation, higher sensitivity, higher efficiency and potential for ultra-fast analysis to improve throughput. In this article, selected case studies from the authors’ own laboratory, and examples from current literature, will be discussed to demonstrate some practical considerations for method development of HILIC–MS/MS assays. The effectiveness of using HILIC–MS/MS for mitigating analytical challenges associated with quantitation of polar metabolites, including phase I and II metabolites of drugs, as well as endogenous metabolites, will be exhibited.

Abstract
An assay for the simultaneous analysis of pharmaceutical compounds and their metabolites from micro-whole blood samples (i.e. 5 microL) was developed using an on-line dried blood spot (on-line DBS) device coupled with hydrophilic interaction/reversed-phase (HILIC/RP) LC/MS/MS. Filter paper is directly integrated to the LC device using a homemade inox desorption cell. Without any sample pretreatment, analytes are desorbed from the paper towards an automated system of valves linking a zwitterionic-HILIC column to an RP C18 column. In the same run, the polar fraction is separated by the zwitterionic-HILIC column while the non-polar fraction is eluted on the RP C18. Both fractions are detected by IT-MS operating in full scan mode for the survey scan and in product ion mode for the dependant scan using an ESI source. The procedure was evaluated by the simultaneous qualitative analysis of four probes and their relative phase I and II metabolites spiked in whole blood. In addition, the method was successfully applied to the in vivo monitoring of buprenorphine metabolism after the administration of an intraperitoneal injection of 30 mg/kg on adult female Wistar rat.

Abstract
Neuropeptides are important signaling molecules that regulate many essential physiological processes. Microdialysis offers a way to sample neuropeptides in vivo. When combined with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry detection, many known and unknown neuropeptides can be identified from a live organism. This chapter describes sample preparation techniques and general strategies for the mass spectral analysis of neuropeptides collected via microdialysis sampling. Methods for the in vitro microdialysis of a neuropeptide standard as well as the in vivo microdialysis sampling of neuropeptides from a live crab are described.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The effect of age on the distribution of morphine and morphine-3-glucuronide (M3G) across the blood-brain barrier (BBB) was studied in a sheep model utilizing intracerebral microdialysis. The effect of neonatal asphyxia on brain drug distribution was also studied. EXPERIMENTAL APPROACH Microdialysis probes were inserted into the cortex, striatum and blood of 11 lambs (127 gestation days) and six ewes. Morphine, 1 mg x kg(-1), was intravenously administered as a 10 min constant infusion. Microdialysis and blood samples were collected for up to 360 min and analysed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. The half-life, clearance, volume of distribution, unbound drug brain : blood distribution ratio (K(p,uu)) and unbound drug volume of distribution in brain (V(u,brain)) were estimated. KEY RESULTS Morphine K(p,uu) was 1.19 and 1.89 for the sheep and premature lambs, respectively, indicating that active influx into the brain decreases with age. Induced asphyxia did not affect transport of morphine or M3G across the BBB. Morphine V(u,brain) measurements were higher in sheep than in premature lambs. The M3G K(p,uu) values were 0.27 and 0.17 in sheep and premature lambs, indicating a net efflux from the brain in both groups. CONCLUSIONS AND IMPLICATIONS The morphine K(p,uu) was above unity, indicating active transport into the brain; influx was significantly higher in premature lambs than in adult sheep. These results in sheep differ from those in humans, rats, mice and pigs where a net efflux of morphine from the brain is observed.

Abstract
In present time the use or misuse of morphine and its derivatives are monitored by assaying the presence of the drug and its metabolites in biofluids. In the present review, focus is placed on the sample preparation and on the separation techniques used in the current best practices of bioanalysis of morphine and its major metabolites. However, as methods for testing the misuse of heroin, a morphine derivative, often involve bioanalytical methods that cover a number of other illicit drug substances, such methods are also included in the review. Furthermore, the review also includes bioanalysis in a broader perspective as analysis of plant materials, cell cultures and environmental samples. The review is not intended to cover all publications that include bioanalysis of morphine but is more to be considered a view into the current best practices of bioanalysis of morphine, its metabolites and other related substances.

Abstract
A sensitive, accurate and precise liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed for the determination of (-)-satropane (3alpha-paramethyl-benzenesulfonyloxy-6beta-acetoxy-tropane) in rabbit aqueous humor. Since (-)-satropane may be absorbed from the aqueous humour with resultant systemic side effects, the LC-MS/MS method was also evaluated for its applicability in analyzing plasma samples containing this compound. (-)-Satropane and phentolamine (the internal standard, represented as IS) were detected by multiple reaction monitoring using the transitions m/z 354-182 and 282-212, respectively. The calibration curve was linear over the ranges 2-500 and 5-1000 ng/mL, and the values of the lower limit of quantification were 2 and 5 ng/mL for the microdialysis dialysate and rat plasma samples, respectively. The intra-day and inter-day precision and accuracy were better than 8.6 and 6.00%, respectively, in both matrices investigated. The absolute recovery of the plasma samples was more than 76.30%. The average matrix effects of (-)-satropane were 91.72 and 83.05% in the microdialysis dialysate and plasma samples, respectively. The validated method was successfully applied to analyze (-)-satropane in microdialysis dialysate and rat plasma samples, and this assay has been used to quantify (-)-satropane in the pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic studies in our laboratory.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) has played an important role in quantitative bioanalytical assays. This review summarizes the recent progress on quantification of polar drugs in plasma with LC–MS/MS. Various types of polar analytes were extracted using protein precipitation or solid-phase extraction and precolumn derivatization was utilized in some cases. The analytes were then separated using different types of chromatographic method, which included reversed-phase chromatography, aqueous normal-phase chromatography, hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and ion-pairing chromatography. Stationary phases of mixed mode and porous graphitic carbon materials are gaining acceptance in bioanalytical applications. These technologies can be valuable supplements in the quantification of polar drugs in human plasma with LC–MS/MS. Matrix effects have also been discussed in this review.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) has, in recent years, been shown to be an important supplement to reversed-phase liquid chromatography for polar analytes. HILIC, in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), has been steadily gaining acceptance in the analysis of polar compounds from complex biological matrices. This hyphenated technique offers the advantages of improved sensitivity by employing high organic content in the mobile phase, shortened sample preparation time with direct injection of the organic-solvent extracts of biological samples and the potential for ultra-fast analysis because of low-column backpressure. This article reviews recent challenges presented by HILIC, advancements in the better understanding of retention characteristics of analytes with different mobile- and stationary-phase compositions and solutions to ion suppression and interference problems encountered in HILIC–MS/MS assays. Applications of HILIC–MS/MS are summarized, including those for pharmacokinetic studies, metabolic studies, therapeutic drug monitoring and clinical diagnostics.

Abstract
One of the crucial issues in quantitative microdialysis is the reliability of recovery estimates to correctly estimate unbound drug tissue concentrations. If a deuterated calibrator is used for retrodialysis, the calibrator has the same properties as the study drug. However, recovery of the calibrator may be affected by the presence of the drug in the tissues. The aim of this study was to investigate the recovery of deuterated morphine with time in the absence and presence of morphine in rat tissues. Microdialysis probes were placed in the brain and blood of eight rats. Ringer's solution containing D3-morphine was perfused throughout the study and recovery was estimated. After a stabilization period of 3 h, an exponential infusion of morphine was administered over 4 h. The presence of morphine did not affect the recovery of D3-morphine from brain or blood. The average recovery values (SD) were 0.145 (0.039) and 0.131 (0.048) during the stabilization and infusion periods, respectively, for the brain probe and 0.792 (0.055) and 0.790 (0.084), respectively, for the blood probe. The recovery of deuterated morphine was stable over time in the brain and in blood, and was not affected by the presence of pharmacologically concentrations of morphine.

J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2008; 873:144-50.

Abstract
Plasma levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol (1-deoxyglucose), a short-term marker of glycemic control, have been measured and used clinically in Japan since the early 1990s. Plasma levels of 1,5-anhydroglucitol are typically measured using either a commercially available enzymatic kit or GC/MS. A more sensitive method is needed for the analysis of 1,5-anhydroglucitol in urine, where levels are significantly lower than in plasma. We have developed a sensitive and selective LC/MS(3) assay utilizing hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography and ion trap mass spectrometry for the quantitative determination of 1,5-anhydroglucitol in human urine. Diluted human urine samples were analyzed by LC/MS(3) using an APCI source operated in the negative ionization mode. Use of an ion trap allowed monitoring of MS(3) transitions for both 1,5-anhydroglucitol and the internal standard which provided sufficient selectivity and sensitivity for analysis from 50 microL of human urine. Quantitation of 1,5-anhydroglucitol levels in urine was accomplished using a calibration curve generated in water (calibration range 50 ng/mL to 10 microg/mL). Method ruggedness and reproducibility were evaluated by determining the intra- and inter-day accuracies and precision of the assay, as well as the bench-top and freeze-thaw stability. For both inter- and intra-assay evaluations, the accuracy of the assay was found to be acceptable, with the concentrations of all QCs tested not deviating more than 8% from theoretical. Four-hour bench-top and freeze-thaw stabilities were also evaluated; 1,5-anhydroglucitol was found to be stable at room temperature (<18% deviation from theoretical) and during 3 freeze-thaw cycles (<1% deviation from theoretical, except at the lowest QC level). The LC/MS(3) assay was then used to successfully determine the concentration of 1,5-AG in more than 200 urine samples from diabetic patients enrolled in a clinical study.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) was applied for the separation of small, noncovalent metal species, and free ligands in plants, using two different zwitterionic stationary phases at pH 7.3. Ligands ranged from amino acids and phytosiderophores to organic acids and synthetic chelators like EDTA. Our results confirmed the suitability of zwitterionic stationary phases for the separation of such ligands and their metal complexes. In particular, the chromatographic behavior of phytosiderophore complexes of copper, nickel, and zinc on a sulfobetaine-type material was compared to that on a phosphorylcholine-type material under otherwise identical conditions. A compression of the usable retention range for phytosiderophore species on the latter phase was found, which can be traced back to the reversed charge orientation of the zwitterionic functionalities. Differences were also found for the integrity of more labile metal chelates during separation on the two columns. In particular, Ni-malate could only be analyzed on the sulfobetaine phase, and Cu-glutathione, Ni-aspartate, and Ni-citrate complexes were only stable on the phosphorylcholine stationary phase at pH 7.3. Ni-histidine species were only found after lowering the pH to 4-5. The identification of separated species is possible by online ESI-MS in the negative ionization mode.

Abstract
Applications of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) in the identification and determination of phase I and phase II drug metabolites are reviewed with an emphasis on recent papers published predominantly within the last 6 years (2002–2007) reporting the employment of atmospheric pressure ionization techniques as the most promising approach for a sensitive detection, positive identification and quantitation of metabolites in complex biological matrices. This review is devoted to in vitro and in vivo drug biotransformation in humans and animals. The first step preceding an HPLC-MS bioanalysis consists in the choice of suitable sample preparation procedures (biomatrix sampling, homogenization, internal standard addition, deproteination, centrifugation, extraction). The subsequent step is the right optimization of chromatographic conditions providing the required separation selectivity, analysis time and also good compatibility with the MS detection. This is usually not accessible without the employment of the parent drug and synthesized or isolated chemical standards of expected phase I and sometimes also phase II metabolites. The incorporation of additional detectors (photodiode-array UV, fluorescence, polarimetric and others) between the HPLC and MS instruments can result in valuable analytical information supplementing MS results. The relation among the structural changes caused by metabolic reactions and corresponding shifts in the retention behavior in reversed-phase systems is discussed as supporting information for identification of the metabolite. The first and basic step in the interpretation of mass spectra is always the molecular weight (MW) determination based on the presence of protonated molecules [M+H]+ and sometimes adducts with ammonium or alkali-metal ions, observed in the positive-ion full-scan mass spectra. The MW determination can be confirmed by the [M-H]- ion for metabolites providing a signal in negative-ion mass spectra. MS/MS is a worthy tool for further structural characterization because of the occurrence of characteristic fragment ions, either MSn analysis for studying the fragmentation patterns using trap-based analyzers or high mass accuracy measurements for elemental composition determination using time of flight based or Fourier transform mass analyzers. The correlation between typical functional groups found in phase I and phase II drug metabolites and corresponding neutral losses is generalized and illustrated for selected examples. The choice of a suitable ionization technique and polarity mode in relation to the metabolite structure is discussed as well.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is important for the separation of highly polar substances including biologically active compounds, such as pharmaceutical drugs, neurotransmitters, nucleosides, nucleotides, amino acids, peptides, proteins, oligosaccharides, carbohydrates, etc. In the HILIC mode separation, aqueous organic solvents are used as mobile phases on more polar stationary phases that consist of bare silica, and silica phases modified with amino, amide, zwitterionic functional group, polyols including saccharides and other polar groups. This review discusses the column efficiency of HILIC materials in relation to solute and stationary phase structures, as well as comparisons between particle-packed and monolithic columns. In addition, a literature review consisting of 2006-2007 data is included, as a follow up to the excellent review by Hemström and Irgum.

Abstract
Microdialysis sampling coupled with liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) was used to observe in vitro 11beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase type 1 (HSD1) enzyme-catalyzed conversion of stable-isotope-labeled cortisone to cortisol in liver microsomes from dog, monkey, and human. Experimental conditions that would affect the microdialysis sampling approach including probe length, perfusion fluid flow rate, extraction efficiency (E(d)), substrate concentration, and enzyme reaction conditions were evaluated. Dialysates containing high salt concentrations (>150 mM) were directly assayed using LC/MS/MS without additional sample cleanup. The sensitivity (with lower level of quantitation at 0.1 ng/mL) and selectivity of this assay allowed detection of the enzyme reactants at physiologically relevant levels. The interconversion from M+4 cortisone to M+4 cortisol was detected in dog, human, and monkey liver microsomes. Results show species-specific reaction profiles, with a five times higher conversion rate in dog liver microsomes than in human and monkey liver microsomes. Based on M+4 cortisol production rate obtained using a microdialysis infusion of M+4 cortisone to the microsomes coincubated with a proprietary 11beta-HSD1 inhibitor of different concentrations, the degrees of enzyme inhibition were found to be 40 and 85%, consistent with values obtained by a traditional in vitro incubation method. The microdialysis sampling methodology with LC/MS/MS provided extensive information about 11beta-HSD1 activities in microsomes from different mammalian species.

Abstract
An improved hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) method has been developed to separate members of a closely related family of chemoprotective phytochemicals called glucosinolates. This method exploits the emergence of a second generation of HILIC chemistry, using a silica-based permanently zwitterionic stationary phase. These columns are more robust, durable, and glucosinolates separations are more reproducible than with the original polyhydroxyethyl aspartamide columns. Furthermore, the HILIC system that we report herein permits much greater alteration of the mobile phase composition for customized separation of glucosinolates from plant extracts, across a wide spectrum of polarity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Impaired metabolism of morphine may lead to an increase in sedation and respiratory depression. METHODS In the present study we investigated morphine pharmacokinetics in patients who had undergone liver resection (n = 15) compared to a control group undergoing colon resection (n = 15). Morphine was administered IV by patient-controlled analgesia. Plasma concentrations of morphine, morphine-6-glucuronide, and morphine-3-glucuronide were measured 2-3 times daily for the first two postoperative days. Pain intensity scores were assessed three times daily and respiratory rate and sedation scores every third hour. RESULTS There were no differences in morphine requirements 1.1 (0.8-2.5 [median, interquartile range]) mg/h (liver resection) and 1.5 (1.1-1.7) mg/h (colon resection) [P = 0.84]) or in pain intensity scores (P > 0.3) between the groups. Plasma morphine concentrations were higher in patients undergoing liver resection than in the control group (P < 0.01) reflecting a lower rate of morphine metabolism. Plasma morphine concentrations were correlated with the volume of liver resection (P < 0.02). However, plasma concentrations of morphine-6-glucuronide and morphine-3-glucuronide did not differ between the groups (P = 0.62 and P = 0.48, respectively). There was a higher incidence of sedation (P = 0.02), but not respiratory depression (P = 0.48), after liver resection. CONCLUSION The study demonstrates that plasma concentrations of morphine are higher in patients undergoing liver resection compared with patients undergoing colon resection. Sedation scores were higher in patients undergoing liver resection. Caution is therefore recommended when administering morphine to this patient group.

Abstract
Cyclodextrins (CDs) are widely used in the pharmaceutical industry for their capability of improving bioavailability, solubility, or stability of drugs via the formation of soluble inclusion complexes. CDs have also been widely used in various chemical analysis methods. In this work, liquid chromatography/electrospray mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) analysis for four different drugs (imipramine, desipramine, propranolol, and naproxen) that form inclusion complexes with CDs was performed in the presence and absence of beta-CD. These drugs are subject to nonspecific adsorption when brought into contact with plastics, such as HPLC tubing, sample collection and preparation apparatus, etc. Inclusion of the CD in the samples reduces this nonspecific adsorption due to competitive complex formation between the CD and the analyte. ESI-MS ion intensities increased when beta-CD was included in the sample with concentrations up to 1% (w:v), with a diverter valve installed post LC column. The degree of increased ion signal correlated with the beta-cyclodextrin:analyte binding constant. beta-CD appeared to elute within the void volume time and was observed in a full spectrum scan among the different analyte samples with up to 0.01% beta-CD injected directly to the LC/MS system with the diverter valve switched inline with the mass spectrometer. The use of the diverter valve allowed for direct injection of samples containing up to 1% beta-CD to the LC/MS without any deterioration of analyte ion signal.

This review describes procedures for detection of the following drugs of abuse and their metabolites in whole blood, plasma or serum: Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, 11-hydroxy-Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, 11-nor-9-carboxy-Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol, 11-nor-9-carboxy-Delta9-tetrahydrocannabinol glucuronide, heroin, 6-monoacetylmorphine, morphine, morphine-6-glucuronide, morphine-3-glucuronide, codeine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxymethamphetamine, N-ethyl-3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, 3,4-methylenedioxyamphetamine, cocaine, benzoylecgonine, ecgonine methyl ester, cocaethylene, other cocaine metabolites or pyrolysis products (norcocaine, norcocaethylene, norbenzoylecgonine, m-hydroxycocaine, p-hydroxycocaine, m-hydroxybenzoylecgonine, p-hydroxybenzoylecgonine, ethyl ecgonine, ecgonine, anhydroecgonine methyl ester, anhydroecgonine ethyl ester, anhydroecgonine, noranhydroecgonine, N-hydroxynorcocaine, cocaine N-oxide, anhydroecgonine methyl ester N-oxide). Metabolites and degradation products which are recommended to be monitored for assessment in clinical or forensic toxicology are mentioned. Papers written in English between 2002 and the beginning of 2007 are reviewed. Analytical methods are assessed for their suitability in forensic toxicology, where special requirements have to be met. For many of the analytes sensitive immunological methods for screening are available. Screening and confirmation is mostly done by gas chromatography (GC)-mass spectrometry (MS) or liquid chromatography (LC)-MS(/MS) procedures. Basic information about the biosample assayed, internal standard, workup, GC or LC column and mobile phase, detection mode, and validation data for each procedure is summarized in two tables to facilitate the selection of a method suitable for a specific analytic problem.

Abstract
Sample preparation is one of the most crucial processes in proteomics research. The results of the experiment depend on the condition of the starting material. Therefore, the proper experimental model and careful sample preparation is vital to obtain significant and trustworthy results, particularly in comparative proteomics, where we are usually looking for minor differences between experimental-, and control samples. In this review we discuss problems associated with general strategies of samples preparation, and experimental demands for these processes.

Abstract
Natural flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and sesquiterpenoids have been extensively investigated because of their biological and physiological significances, as well as their promising clinical uses. It is necessary to monitor them or their metabolites in biological fluids for both pre-clinical studies and routine clinical uses. The successful hyphenation of LC and MS, which was thought as "the bird wants to marry with fish", has been conducted widely in biological samples analysis. This present paper reviewed the feasibility of LC-MS techniques in the identification and quantification of natural products (flavonoids, alkaloids, saponins and sesquiterpenoids) in biological fluids, dealing with sample preparation, LC techniques, suitability of different MS techniques. Perspective of LC-MS was also discussed to show the potential of this technology. The citations cover the period 2002-2006. We conclude that LC-MS is an extremely powerful tool for the analysis of natural products in biological samples.

Abstract
A rapid and very sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) method for the simultaneous determination of dithiocarbamate (DTC) fungicide residues in fruits and vegetables was developed. The surface extraction of samples used an alkaline buffer consisting of sodium hydrogen carbonate and DL-penicillamine. The three DTC subclasses, i.e. dimethyldithiocarbamates (DMDs), ethylenebis(dithiocarbamates) (EBDs), and propylenebis(dithiocarbamates) (PBDs), were separated on a Sequant ZIC-pHILIC column using an acetonitrile/10 mM ammonia gradient. Because of the instability of DTC residues extracted from plant samples, a stable isotope dilution assay was applied. For each DTC subclass, the limits of detection and quantification were approximately 0.03 mg kg(-1) and 0.05 mg kg(-1), respectively. Recoveries from grapes, cucumbers, tomatoes, and rucola, spiked in the range of 0.01-0.9 mg kg(-1), averaged between 90 and 100%.

Abstract
Separation of polar compounds on polar stationary phases with partly aqueous eluents is by no means a new separation mode in LC. The first HPLC applications were published more than 30 years ago, and were for a long time mostly confined to carbohydrate analysis. In the early 1990s new phases started to emerge, and the practice was given a name, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC). Although the use of this separation mode has been relatively limited, we have seen a sudden increase in popularity over the last few years, promoted by the need to analyze polar compounds in increasingly complex mixtures. Another reason for the increase in popularity is the widespread use of MS coupled to LC. The partly aqueous eluents high in ACN with a limited need of adding salt is almost ideal for ESI. The applications now encompass most categories of polar compounds, charged as well as uncharged, although HILIC is particularly well suited for solutes lacking charge where coulombic interactions cannot be used to mediate retention. The review attempts to summarize the ongoing discussion on the separation mechanism and gives an overview of the stationary phases used and the applications addressed with this separation mode in LC.

Abstract
A novel method is described to follow known and unknown compounds in biological processes using microdialysis sampling and mass spectrometric detection. By implementation of internal standard, desalting/enrichment for the sample work-up, and multivariate data analysis, this methodology is a basis for future applications in early diagnosis of diseases and organ damage, as a complement to the routinely used clinical methods for biological samples. The present study includes screening without specific target analytes, of samples collected by microdialysis from liver of anaesthetized rats before and after local damage to this organ. Sample series were classified by principal component analysis, and the stimulation was identified in the chemical patterns produced by the presented analytical tool.

Abstract
A method, using 0.2 ml of plasma, was designed for the simultaneous determination of morphine, 6-monoacetylmorphine, amphetamine, methamphetamine, MDA, MDMA, MDEA, MBDB, benzoylecgonine and cocaine. The drugs were analysed by LC-MS, after solid phase extraction in the presence of the deuterated analogues. Reversed phase separation on an Atlantis dC18 column was achieved in 10 min, under gradient conditions. The method was full validated, including linearity (2-250 ng/ml, r2>0.99), recovery (>50%), within-day and between-day precision and accuracy (CV and bias <15%), limit of detection (0.5 and 1 ng/ml) and quantitation (2 ng/ml), relative ion intensities and no matrix effect was observed. The procedure showed to be sensitive and specific, and was applied to 156 real cases from road fatalities (7.1% cases positive to cocaine and 0.6% to designer drugs).
