Abstract
Antarctic seaweeds are vital components of polar marine ecosystems, playing a crucial role in nutrient cycling and supporting diverse life forms. The sulfur content in these organisms is particularly interesting due to its implication in biogeochemical processes and potential impacts on local and global environmental systems. In this study, we present a comprehensive characterization of seaweed collected in the Antarctic in terms of their total sulfur content and its distribution among different classes of species, including thiols, using various methods and high-sensitivity techniques. The data presented in this paper are unprecedented in the scientific literature. These methods allowed for the determination of total sulfur content and the distribution of sulfur compounds in different fractions, such as water-soluble and proteins, as well as the speciation of sulfur compounds in these fractions, providing valuable insights into the chemical composition of these unique marine organisms. Our results revealed that the total sulfur concentration in Antarctic seaweeds varied widely across different species, ranging from 5.5 to 56 g kg-1 dry weight. Furthermore, our investigation into the sulfur speciation revealed the presence of various sulfur compounds, including sulfate, and some thiols, which were quantified in all ten seaweed species evaluated. The concentration of these individual sulfur species also displayed considerable variability among the studied seaweeds. This study provides the first in-depth examination of total sulfur content and sulfur speciation in brown and red Antarctic seaweeds.

Abstract
A new type of carbon dot (CD)-functionalized solution-gated graphene transistor (SGGT) sensor was designed and fabricated for the highly sensitive and highly selective detection of glutathione (GSH). The CDs were synthesized via a one-step hydrothermal method using DL-thioctic acid and triethylenetetramine (TETA) as sources of S, N, and C. The CDs have abundant amino and carboxyl groups and were used to modify the surface of the gate electrode of SGGT as probes for detecting GSH. Remarkably, the CDs-SGGT sensor exhibited excellent selectivity and ultrahigh sensitivity to GSH, with an ultralow limit of detection (LOD) of up to 10-19 M. To the best of our knowledge, the sensor outperforms previously reported systems. Moreover, the CDs-SGGT sensor shows rapid detection and good stability. More importantly, the detection of GSH in artificial serum samples was successfully demonstrated.

Abstract
In research enabling preclinical development and attaining a deeper understanding of the behavior of metallodrugs in cancer cells with acquired resistance, intracellular Pt accumulation could be considered an important biomarker and analytical focus. In this work, Pt accumulation patterns in terms of the number of cells and Pt mass in single cells were precisely defined by using inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) operating in a fast time-resolved analysis mode. This technique is otherwise known as single-cell (SC)-ICP-MS. By applying the nascent and validated SC-ICP-MS technique, comparisons across three Pt drugs (cisplatin, carboplatin, and oxaliplatin) in the A2780 and A2780cis ovarian cancer cell models could be made. Additional roles of transporters on top of passive diffusion and the drugs' bioactivity could be postulated. The SC-ICP-MS-based observations also served as a cross-validation point to augment preexisting research findings on Pt-resistance mechanisms. Conjectures regarding S and Fe metabolism were also derived based on an additional and direct ICP-MS analysis of endogenous elements. Overall, our work not only confirms the utility of SC-ICP-MS in chemotherapeutic research, but also provided insights into further ICP-MS-based analytical capacities to be developed.

Abstract
A colorimetric assay has been developed for Zn2+ and homocysteine (Hcy) detection using functionalized silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). AgNPs have been synthesized using silver nitrate, where sodium citrate is used as a stabilizing agent and NaBH4 as a reducing agent. Then, the nanoparticles (citrate@AgNPs) were functionalized with 1H-imidazole-4,5-dicarboxylic acid (IDCA). UV-visible and FTIR spectra suggested that IDCA was functionalized on the surface of citrate@AgNPs through the N atom of the imidazole ring. The IDCA-functionalized silver nanoparticles (IDCA@AgNPs) simultaneously detected Zn2+ and Hcy from aqueous solution and showed different responses to the two analytes (Zn2+ and Hcy) based on the aggregation-induced color change of IDCA@AgNPs. They showed the color change from yellow to red, which was easily discriminated by visual inspection as well as UV-visible spectroscopy. The surface plasmon resonance absorbance values of Zn2+ and Hcy are 485 and 512 nm, respectively, when Zn2+ and Hcy react with IDCA@AgNPs. IDCA@AgNPs showed linearity with Zn2+ and Hcy concentrations, with the detection limit of 2.38 μM and 0.54 nM, respectively (S/N = 3). The IDCA@AgNPs showed excellent selectivity toward Zn2+ and Hcy compared to the different metal ions and amino acids, respectively. Optimal detection was achieved toward Zn2+ and Hcy in the pH range 3-10. In addition, IDCA@AgNPs were used to detect Zn2+ and Hcy from lake water, showing low interference.

A simultaneous identification and quantification strategy for determination of sulfhydryl-containing metabolites in normal- and high-fat diet hamsters using stable isotope labeling combined with LC-MS. Anal Chim Acta 2021; 1184:339016. [PMID: 34625243 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2021.339016] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/04/2021] [Revised: 07/25/2021] [Accepted: 08/30/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
Sulfur-containing metabolites are related to several physiologic disorders and metabolic diseases. In this study, a simultaneous identification and quantification strategy in one batch for determination of sulfhydryl-containing metabolites was developed using stable isotope labeling combined with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (SIL-LC-MS). In the proposed method, a pair of isotope labeling reagents, D0/D5-N-ethylmaleimide (D0/D5-NEM), was used to derivatize sulfhydryl-containing metabolites in blood and plasma of normal- and high-fat-diet (NFD and HFD) hamsters for reduced (-SH) and total (-SH, -S-S-, S-glutathionylated proteins) analysis. Quality control (QC) samples and test samples were prepared for LC-MS analysis. First, both QC samples and stable isotope labeled internal standards were used to monitor the status of the instrument and ensure the reliability of the analysis. Subsequently, an inhouse database containing 45 sulfhydryl-containing metabolites was established by MS1 based on QC samples. Then, qualitatively differential sulfhydryl-containing metabolites were found by MS2 between the NFD and HFD hamsters of the test samples, including 3 in reduced and 8 in total analysis of blood samples, and 2 in reduced and 2 in total analysis of plasma samples. Next, in quantitative analysis, satisfied linearities for 6 sulfhydryl-containing metabolites were obtained with the correlation coefficient (R2) > 0.99 and absolute quantification was carried out. The results showed that glutathione and cysteine have different concentrations in blood and plasma of hamsters. Finally, the correlation of sulfhydryl-containing metabolites with blood lipid and oxidative stress levels was determined, which provided insight into the hyperlipidemia-related oxidative stress. Taken together, the developed method of simultaneous identification with the inhouse database and MS2 and quantification with standards in one batch provides a promising strategy for the analysis of sulfhydryl-containing metabolites in biological samples, which may promote the in-depth investigation on sulfhydryl-containing metabolites and related diseases.

Quantification of total concentration of thiol functional groups in environmental samples by titration with monobromo(trimethylammonio)bimane and determination with tandem mass spectrometry. Talanta 2020; 218:121109.

Abstract
Thiol compounds (R-SH) have many important biological functions and are principal controls of the speciation of several toxic metals in the environment. However, determining the concentration of thiols associated with environmental matrices is challenging due to the compounds' low abundance and interferences from non-thiol compounds for many available methods. Here a novel method has been developed and validated to quantify the total concentration of thiol functional groups in aqueous samples using derivatization with monobromo(trimethylammonio)bimane (qBBr) and quantification with tandem mass spectrometry. The thiol concentration was determined by titration of the sample with qBBr, which reacts selectively with thiols, and quantification of the residual qBBr. We systematically evaluated potential interferences from various organic compounds, inorganic ions (including sea water matrices), sulfide and mercury (Hg) species, and demonstrate that the method is highly sensitive, selective and robust. The limit of detection (LOD) for total thiols is in the nanomolar concentration range (~6 nM). The method performance was also demonstrated by determination of the total thiol concentration in different natural samples including boreal stream water (1.16 μM), wetland porewater (0.96 μM) and the Suwanee River natural organic matter (NOM) reference material SR101 N (7.9 μmol g-1). The developed method represents a combination of low LOD and high selectivity and robustness that is unsurpassed for total thiol concentration measurements.

Abstract
Thiol compounds exist widely on the Earth and have certain significance in the fields of the circulation of the sulfur element and industrial production. However, the odor and biological toxicity of thiol compounds make them pollutants that seriously threaten the environmental safety and the living quality of human. In this study, a novel triplet induced fluorescence "turn-off" strategy was designed for the detection of thiol pollutants via a glutathione-stabilized copper nanocluster (GSH-Cu NC) probe. The as-prepared GSH-Cu NCs not only have small size and good water-solubility, but also exhibit strong red-emitting fluorescence at 630 nm, which could be quenched quantitatively with the increase of the concentration of thiol pollutants. So they were employed to detect thioglycolic acid (TGA), 3-mercaptopropionic acid (MPA), 2-mercaptoethanol (ME) and 2-(diethylamino)ethanethiol (2-AT) in a wide linear range of 1-100 μM with detection limits of 0.73 μM, 0.43 μM, 0.37 μM, and 0.69 μM, respectively. This method was successfully applied to detect the above thiol pollutants in lake water with good recoveries. Moreover, their further application was also expanded as luminous test strips based on the excellent fluorescence characteristics of GSH-Cu NCs for fast real-time detection of thiol pollutants.

Abstract
In this study, the levels of concentration of homocysteine thiolactone (HTL), cysteine (Cys), and cysteinylglycine (CysGly) in the urine of autistic and non-autistic children were investigated and compared. HTL has never been analyzed in autistic children. The levels of low molecular weight sulfur compounds in the urine of both groups were determined by validated methods based on high-performance liquid chromatography with spectrofluorometric and diode-array detectors. The statistical data show a significant difference between the examined groups. Children with autism were characterized by a significantly higher level of HTL (p = 5.86 × 10−8), Cys (p = 1.49 × 10−10) and CysGly (p = 1.06 × 10−8) in urine compared with the control group. A difference in the p-value of <0.05 is statistically significant. Higher levels of HTL, Cys, and CysGly in the urine of 41 children with autism, aged 3 to 17, were observed. The obtained results may indicate disturbances in the metabolism of methionine, Cys, and glutathione in some autistic patients. These preliminary results suggest that further research with more rigorous designs and a large number of subjects is needed.

Abstract
We present a sensitive, selective and robust method for the determination of 14 thiol compounds in aqueous samples. Thiols were derivatized with ω-bromoacetonylquinolinium bromide (BQB) and its deuterium labeled equivalent D7-ω-bromoacetonylquinolinium bromide (D7). Derivatized thiols were preconcentrated by online solid-phase extraction (SPE) followed by liquid chromatography separation and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry determination (SPE/LC-ESI-MS/MS). The robustness of the method was validated for wide ranges in pH, salinity, and concentrations of sulfide and dissolved organic carbon (DOC) to cover contrasting natural water types. The limits of detection (LODs) for the thiols were 3.1-66 pM. Between 6 and 14 of the thiols were detected in different natural sample types at variable concentrations: boreal wetland porewater (0.7-51 nM), estuarine sediment porewater (50 pM-11 nM), coastal sea water (60 pM-16 nM), and sulfate reducing bacterium cultures (80 pM-4 nM). MS/MS fragmentation of the compounds produces two pairs of common product ions, m/z 130.2/137.1 and 218.1/225.1, which enables scanning for unknown thiols in precursor ion scan mode. Using this approach, we identified cysteine, mercaptoacetic acid, N-acetyl-L-cysteine and sulfurothioic S-acid in boreal wetland porewater. The performance of the developed method sets a new state of the art for the determination of thiol compounds in environmental and biological samples.

Abstract
The determination of thiol based biological molecules and drugs, such as cysteine (Cys) (I), α-lipoic acid (II), and sodium 2-sulfanylethane sulphonate (Mesna (III)) in human plasma are becoming progressively more important due to the growing body of knowledge about their essential role in numerous biological pathways. Herein we demonstrate a sensitive colorimetric sensor for the determination of medicinally important thiol drugs based on aggregation of the citrate capped silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs). This approach exploited the high affinity of thiols towards the Ag NPs surface which could tempt replacement of the citrate shell by the thiolate shell of target molecules, resulting in aggregation of the NPs through intermolecular electrostatic interaction or hydrogen-bonding. Because of aggregation, the plasmon band at around 400nm decreases gradually, along with the appearance of a new band connoting a red shift. The calibration curves are derived from the intensity ratios of A530/A400, which display a linear relation in the range of 1μM-150μM, 5μM-200μM and 10μM-130μM, respectively. The obtained detection limits (3σ) were found to be 1.5μM, 5.6μM and 10.2μM for compound I-III, respectively. The proposed method has been successfully applied for the detection of thiol compounds in real samples.

Abstract
Biological thiol compounds are very important molecules that participate in various physiological events. Alteration in levels of endogenous thiols has been suggested as a biomarker of early stage of pathological changes. We reported a chemical derivatization- and LC-MS/MS-based approach to simultaneously determine thiol compounds including glutathione (GSH), cysteine (Cys), N-acetyl cysteine (NAC), homocysteine (Hcy), and cysteinylglycine (CysGly) in biological samples. Thiol-containing samples were derivatized with monobromobimane (mBrB) at room temperature, followed by LC-MS/MS analysis. Assessment of the analytes with baseline separation was completed within 10min, using a gradient elution on a C18 reversed-phase column. Excellent linearity was observed for all analytes over their concentration ranges of 1-400μM. The lowest limits of detection (S/N=3) in a range from 0.31fmol (for NAC) to 4.98fmol (for CysGly) were achieved. The results indicate that this approach was sensitive, selective, and well suited for high-throughput quantitative determination of the biological thiols.
