Anal Chim Acta 2024; 1294:342289. [PMID: 38336412 DOI: 10.1016/j.aca.2024.342289] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/25/2023] [Revised: 01/17/2024] [Accepted: 01/24/2024] [Indexed: 02/12/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND The detection of disease biomarkers in biological samples plays an important role in early diagnosis and treatment of carcinoid tumor. However, due to the complexity of biological samples and the extremely low concentration of disease biomarkers, sample pretreatment is still the bottleneck of achieving accurate quantitative determination. In this work, new hydrophilic molecularly imprinted resin-hexagonal boron nitride (HMIR-h-BN) composites were developed and used as a new solid phase extraction (SPE) adsorbent for selective detection of 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA), a biomarker of carcinoid tumor, in urine. RESULTS Twenty-two types of HMIR-h-BN were successfully synthesized through growing hydrophilic molecularly imprinted resin on surface of activated two-dimensional h-BN nanosheets, and preparation parameters affecting the adsorption performance of HMIR-h-BN were investigated and optimized through adsorption experiments. HMIR-h-BN #19 (the ratio of resorcinol to hexamethylenetetramine: 6:3; the dosage of h-BN: 300 mg; the dosage of dummy template: 0.12 mmol; the imprinting time: 4 h) has demonstrated to be the optimal material for efficient separation and extraction of 5-HIAA. Combined with HPLC-UV, the limit of detection and the limit of quantification of 5-HIAA in real urine samples were 9.4 ng mL-1 and 31.3 ng mL-1, respectively, the coefficient of determination (R2) was 0.9996 in the linear range of 0.1-300 μg mL-1 and the relative recoveries ranged from 86.9 % to 97.7 % with RSD ≤5.1 %. Moreover, after being processed by HMIR-h-BN-SPE, there are no interferences from other peaks at the peak position of 5-HIAA. SIGNIFICANCE The HMIR-h-BN composite has been demonstrated to be capable of selective extraction of 5-HIAA from urine samples and have a significant purification effect. Based on the established HMIR-h-BN-SPE-HPLC-UV method, accurate quantitative determination of 5-HIAA in urine samples was achieved, which is expected to be applied in the early diagnostic of carcinoid tumor.

SPECTROCHIMICA ACTA. PART A, MOLECULAR AND BIOMOLECULAR SPECTROSCOPY 2024; 304:123280. [PMID: 37619474 DOI: 10.1016/j.saa.2023.123280] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/02/2023] [Revised: 08/12/2023] [Accepted: 08/18/2023] [Indexed: 08/26/2023]
Abstract
5-Hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) is regarded as a biomarker for diagnosis of carcinoid tumors, and it is of great significance to developing a precision assay for monitoring 5-HIAA levels. In this work, gold nanoparticles loading on the surface of MOF-199 (Au NPs/MOF-199) is prepared to propose a surface enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) assay for 5-HIAA. When 4-mercaptopyridine (4-MPy) is used as a SERS probe, on Au NPs/MOF-199, limit of detection (LOD) at 10-9 mol/L can be achieved. In addition, Au NPs/MOF-199 substrate with good preparation reproducibility shows long-term storage stability at 4 °C. Under optimal condition, the Au NPs/MOF-199-based SERS method is applied to determine 5-HIAA in serum. The concentration linear range is from 10-9 to 10-5 mol/L and LOD is of 6.40 × 10-11 mol/L. Much importantly, Au NPs/MOF-199 substrate exhibits specific response toward 5-HIAA against other metabolites in the serum due to the capturing selectivity from porous MOF-199. The recoveries obtained on spiked human serum samples locate in the span from 94.30% to 106.00% with RSD of 4.01-7.43%. Au NPs/MOF-199-based SERS sensing strategy is a promising avenue for on-field monitoring biomedical species for clinic diagnosis purpose.

Abstract
Several isostructural lanthanide metal-organic frameworks, viz. [Ln(DCHB)1.5phen]n (Ln-MOFs, where Ln = Eu for 1, Tb for 2, Sm for 3 and Dy for 4), are successfully synthesized through the hydrothermal reactions of 4'-di(4-carboxylphenoxy)hydroxyl-2, 2'-bipyridyl (H2DCHB) and lanthanide nitrates as well as chelator 1,10-phenantroline (phen). These structures are characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, and the representative Ln-MOF 1 is a fivefold interpenetrated framework with the uncoordinated Lewis base N sites form DCHB2- ligands. The photoluminescence research studies reveal that Ln-MOFs 1-4 exhibit characteristic fluorescent emissions from ligand-induced lanthanide Ln(III) ions, while the single-component emission spectra of Ln-MOF 4 are all located in a white region under different excitations. The absence of coordinated water and the interpenetration property of the structures are conducive to the structure rigidity, and the results display that Ln-MOF 1 has high thermal/chemical stabilities in common solvents and a wide pH range as well as the boiling water. Notably, luminescent sensing studies reveal that Ln-MOF 1 with prominent fluorescence properties can perform in highly sensitive and selective sensing of vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) in aqueous systems (KSV = 562.8 L·mol-1; LOD = 4.6 × 10-4 M), which can potentially establish a detection platform for the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma via multiquenching mechanisms. Moreover, the 1@MMMs sensing membranes comprised of Ln-MOF 1 and a poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF) polymer can also be facilely developed for VMA detection in aqueous media, suggesting the enhanced convenience and efficiency of practical sensing applications.

MOLECULES (BASEL, SWITZERLAND) 2022; 27:molecules27092702. [PMID: 35566052 PMCID: PMC9099465 DOI: 10.3390/molecules27092702] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/06/2022] [Revised: 04/17/2022] [Accepted: 04/19/2022] [Indexed: 12/18/2022]
Abstract
Catecholamines (CAs) and their metabolites play significant roles in many physiological processes. Changes in CAs concentration in vivo can serve as potential indicators for the diagnosis of several diseases such as pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Thus, the accurate quantification of CAs and their metabolites in biological samples is quite important and has attracted great research interest. However, due to their extremely low concentrations and numerous co-existing biological interferences, direct analysis of these endogenous compounds often suffers from severe difficulties. Employing suitable sample preparation techniques before instrument detection to enrich the target analytes and remove the interferences is a practicable and straightforward approach. To date, many sample preparation techniques such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) have been utilized to extract CAs and their metabolites from various biological samples. More recently, several modern techniques such as solid-phase microextraction (SPME), liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME), dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), and chemical derivatizations have also been used with certain advanced features of automation and miniaturization. There are no review articles with the emphasis on sample preparations for the determination of catecholamine neurotransmitters in biological samples. Thus, this review aims to summarize recent progress and advances from 2015 to 2021, with emphasis on the sample preparation techniques combined with separation-based detection methods such capillary electrophoresis (CE) or liquid chromatography (LC) with various detectors. The current review manuscript would be helpful for the researchers with their research interests in diagnostic analysis and biological systems to choose suitable sample pretreatment and detection methods.

Abstract
An electrochemically synthetized nano-sensor based on molecularly imprinted polypyrrole (MIPPy) was successfully developed for the detection of 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid (5-HIAA) in human biological fluids namely serum, urine, and plasma. The imprinted glassy carbon electrode was prepared by electropolymerisation of pyrrole via cyclic voltammetry (C.V). After completely leaching the imprinted molecules from the polymeric network, complementary cavities are created. The developed MIPPy sensor, under optimized conditions, shows a high sensitivity towards the target molecule (LOQ = 5 × 10-11 M). Moreover, it presents a wide linear response in the range of 5 × 10-11 - 5 × 10-5 M (R2 > 0.999) with a detection limit of 15 × 10-12 M. In order to evaluate the selectivity of the MIPPy film, several structural analogues and compounds forming the real matrices were tested. The obtained results show an excellent recovery rate (between 98.86 and 101.52%) proving the promising application of the proposed nano-sensor in the detection of 5-HIAA in human biological fluids without any significant interference recorded.

Abstract
Emerging contaminants (ECs) are widely distributed and potentially hazardous to human health and the ecological system. However, traditional wastewater treatment techniques are not sufficient to remove ECs. Magnetic nanomaterials are made of ferromagnetic or superparamagnetic magnetic elements such as iron and nickel, which can be easily separated from the aqueous solution, making them ideal adsorbents for contaminants in water. This review focused on the synthesis approaches of magnetic Fe3O4 nanoparticles (MFNs), as well as surface modification in order to improve their stability and functional diversity. Also, a detailed summary on the state-of-art application of magnetic nanomaterials on the removal of ECs was addressed. Additionally, challenges and future prospective of applying magnetic nanomaterials into real-world cases were discussed, in which the green and simple synthesis and evaluation of the toxic effects of MFNs are still of great challenge. This work summarizes the recent progress of using magnetic nanomaterials as promising and powerful tools in the treatment of ECs-contaminated water, benefiting researchers interested in nanomaterials and environmental studies.

Abstract
The GC-MS quantification of biogenic monoamines (BMAs), together with their acidic metabolites (ACMEs), in a single step, is presented here for the first time. This novel principle is based on the exceptional reactivity of the hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and perfluorocarboxylic acid (PFCA) couples [1,2], resulting in the simultaneous trimethylsilylation and acylation of BMAs and ACMEs. For this basic study, tyramine (TYR), 3-methoxytyramine (3-MeTYR), dopamine (DA), epinephrine (EP), normetanephrine (NORMNE), norepinephrine (NOREP), tryptamine (T), 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (L-DOPA), 5-methoxytryptamine (5-MeT), serotonin (ST), and their ACMEs, such as homovanillic acid (HVA), vanillylmandelic acid (VMA), and 5-hydroxyindoleacetic acid (5-HIAA) were selected. These three ACMEs were derived from 3-MeTYR, NORMNE and ST, respectively. The mass fragmentation properties of the fully derivatized products proved to be of stoichiometric distribution. Informative high masses were obtained: such as the molecular ions [M]+= and/or their [M-CH3]+ alternatives. The exceptions were EP and NOREP which decomposed to the same specific, abundant mass of m/z 355 representing the C7H3-tri-OTMS ions formed by the loss of their nitrogen-containing moieties. The general rule of this new principle was confirmed by using trifluoroacetic acid (TFA), pentafluoropropionic acid (PFPA), or heptafluorobutyric acid (HFBA) with HMDS in parallel tests. In all three cases, derivatives of close retention properties in a stoichiometric manner were obtained. On the basis of the optimum separation characteristics between the BMA-ACME pairs, the HMDS & PFPA couple was preferred as the reagent of choice. Method validation was carried out, both with model solutions and in the presence of the urine matrices (without any preliminary extraction). Analytical performance characteristics for the model solutions like repeatability (RSD% 3.88-6.4), linearity (R2 0.991-0.999) and limit of quantitation (LOQ 8.8-103 ng/mL) were determined. Analytical performance characteristics for urine matrices were calculated by using the standard addition method applying the urine of a healthy volunteer and also analyzing urines of patients diagnosed with neurological diseases.

Abstract
AbstractVanillylmandelic acid (VMA) is one of the most important catecholamine metabolites, and it is usually used to aid in diagnosis of pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. A new digital control microextraction by packed sorbent (MEPS) procedure coupled to liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method has been developed to determine VMA in human urine. We evaluated important parameters influencing MEPS efficiency, including stationary phase, extracting cycles, and sample dilution. In optimized MEPS conditions, Only 10 μL of sample volume and 3 min preparation time for one sample were needed. Chromatographic separation was achieved with a hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) column using gradient elution. VMA was detected using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) with an electrospray source operating in negative ion mode. The method was validated for linearity, limit of quantification, accuracy, imprecision, matrix effect, and interference. Linearity was 0.5–100 μg/mL for VMA. Intra-assay, inter-assay, and total imprecision were less than 9.6%. Interferences precluding quantitation of VMA in dilute-and-shoot approach were reduced significantly using a MEPS approach. Method comparison of LC-MS/MS and homogeneous enzyme immunoassay was performed, and the reference interval was established. The developed MEPS-LC-MS/MS method certainly contributes to method robustness and makes it suitable for measurement of urinary VMA in routine clinical biochemistry laboratories.

Abstract
Disposable screen-printed electrodes based on the use of graphite-polyurethane composites modified with magnetite nanoparticles (MNP-SPE) or chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (CHMNP-SPE) are described. The MNP and CHMNP were synthetized and comparatively characterized by TEM, XRD, FTIR, and TGA/DTG. The MNP-SPE and CHMNP-SPE were characterized by SEM and EDX. After optimization of the MNP percentage in MNP-SPE, the materials were electrochemically characterized by cyclic voltammetry, EIS, and chronocoulometry. The electrodes were tested for their performance towards sensing of epinephrine (EP). The CHMNP-SPE is found to have better electrochemical responses in comparison to the MNP-SPE. This is assumed to be due to the chitosan coating which also protects the MNPs from oxidation under air and at different applied potential fields. The performances of the MNP-SPE and CHMNP-SPE were studied by DPV after optimization of equilibration time and DPV parameters. Response is linear in the 0.1-0.8 μM EP concentration range, at 0.03 V (vs. pseudo-Ag/AgCl), and the detection limit is 25 nM for the MNP-SPE. The linear response for the CHMNP-SPE was 0.1-0.6 μM, at 0.0 V (vs. pseudo-Ag/AgCl), and a LOD of 14 nM was achieved. The devices were used for the quantification of EP in synthetic urine and in cerebrospinal synthetic fluids. Recoveries from spiked samples are in the 95.6-102.2% range for the CHMNP-SPE and in the 98.3-109% range for MNP-SPE. The stability of the respective sensors was investigated and compared over a period of 5 months. The EP peak currents were found to decrease by only 4% for the CHMNP-SPE, while the MNP-SPE lost 23% of its EP peak current. Accordingly, the CHMNP-SPE was chosen as the most stable and sensitive sensor for EP. Graphical abstract Schematic figure of modification of a graphite-polyurethane screen-printed composite electrode with magnetite nanoparticles (MNPs) and chitosan-coated magnetite nanoparticles (CHMNPs) for the voltammetric determination of epinephrine (EP). Improved response of CHMNP-SPE (black voltammogram) in comparison to MNP-SPE (red voltammogram) was attributed to the protection of MNP from oxidation.

Abstract
BACKGROUND β-Carboline alkaloid harmine (HAR) and harmaline (HAL) are monoamine oxidase (MAO) and acetylcholinesterase (AChE) inhibitors. However, whether HAR and HAL inhibit MAO or AChE selectively and competitively is unclear. PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the potential competition inhibition of HAR and HAL on MAO and AChE in brain endothelial cells (RBE4) and in healthy rats to provide a basis for the application of the inhibitors in the treatment of patients with depression and with Parkinson's disease or Alzheimer's disease. STUDY DESIGN/METHODS The transport properties of HAR and HAL by using blood-brain barrier models constructed with RBE4 were systematically investigated. Then, the modulation effects of HAR and HAL on CNS neurotransmitters (NTs) in healthy rat brains were determined by a microdialysis method coupled with LC-MS/MS. The competition inhibition of HAR and HAL on MAO and AChE was evaluated through real time-PCR, Western blot analysis, and molecular docking experiments. RESULTS Results showed that HAL and HAR can be detected in the blood and striatum 300 min after intravenous injection (1 mg/kg). Choline (Ch), gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), glutamate (Glu), and phenylalanine (Phe) levels in the striatum decreased in a time-dependent manner after the HAL treatment, with average velocities of 1.41, 0.73, 3.86, and 1.10 (ng/ml)/min, respectively. The Ch and GABA levels in the striatum decreased after the HAR treatment, with average velocities of 1.16 and 0.22 ng/ml/min, respectively. The results of the cocktail experiment using the human liver enzyme indicated that the IC50 value of HAL on MAO-A was 0.10 ± 0.08 µm and that of HAR was 0.38 ± 0.21 µm. Their IC50 values on AChE were not obtained. These findings indicated that HAL and HAR selectively acted on MAO in vitro. However, RT-PCR and Western blot analysis results showed that the AChE mRNA and protein expression decreased in a time-dependent manner in RBE4 cells after the HAR and HAL treatments. CONCLUSION NT analysis results showed that HAL and HAR selectively affect AChE in vivo. HAL and HAR may be highly and suitably developed for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease.

Abstract
Biogenic amines (BAs) are bioactive endogenous compounds which play a significant physiological role in many cell processes like cell proliferation and differentiation, signal transduction and membrane stability. Likewise, they are important in the regulation of body temperature, the increase/decrease of blood pressure or intake of nutrition, as well as in the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins, hormones and alkaloids. Additionally, it was confirmed that these compounds can be considered as useful biomarkers for the diagnosis, therapy and prognosis of several neuroendocrine and cardiovascular disorders, including neuroendocrine tumours (NET), schizophrenia and Parkinson's Disease. Due to the fact that BAs are chemically unstable, light-sensitive and possess a high tendency for spontaneous oxidation and decomposition at high pH values, their determination is a real challenge. Moreover, their concentrations in biological matrices are extremely low. These issues make the measurement of BA levels in biological matrices problematic and the application of reliable bioanalytical methods for the extraction and determination of these molecules is needed. This article presents an overview of the most recent trends in the quantification of BAs in human samples with a special focus on liquid chromatography (LC), gas chromatography (GC) and capillary electrophoresis (CE) techniques. Thus, new approaches and technical possibilities applied in these methodologies for the assessment of BA profiles in human samples and the priorities for future research are reported and critically discussed. Moreover, the most important applications of LC, GC and CE in pharmacology, psychology, oncology and clinical endocrinology in the area of the analysis of BAs for the diagnosis, follow-up and monitoring of the therapy of various health disorders are presented and critically evaluated.

Abstract
The clinical applications of sensing tools (i.e., biosensors) for the monitoring of physiologically important analytes are very common. Nowadays, the biosensors are being increasingly used to detect physiologically important analytes in real biological samples (i.e., blood, plasma, urine, and saliva). This review focuses on biosensors that can be applied to continuous, time-resolved measurements with fluorescence. The material presents the fluorescent biosensors for the detection of neurotransmitters, hormones, and other human metabolites as glucose, lactate or uric acid. The construction of microfluidic devices based on fluorescence uses a variety of materials, fluorescent dyes, types of detectors, excitation sources, optical filters, and geometrical systems. Due to their small size, these devices can perform a full analysis. Microfluidics-based technologies have shown promising applications in several of the main laboratory techniques, including blood chemistries, immunoassays, nucleic-acid amplification tests. Of the all technologies that are used to manufacture microfluidic systems, the LTCC technique seems to be an interesting alternative. It allows easy integration of electronic and microfluidic components on a single ceramic substrate. Moreover, the LTCC material is biologically and chemically inert, and is resistant to high temperature and pressure. The combination of all these features makes the LTCC technology particularly useful for implementation of fluorescence-based detection in the ceramic microfluidic systems.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a tool that can analyze nearly all classes of molecules, with its scope rapidly expanding in the areas of post-translational modifications, MS instrumentation, and many others. Yet integration of novel analyte preparatory and purification methods with existing or novel mass spectrometers can introduce new challenges for MS sensitivity. The mechanisms that govern detection by MS are particularly complex and interdependent, including ionization efficiency, ion suppression, and transmission. Performance of both off-line and MS methods can be optimized separately or, when appropriate, simultaneously through statistical designs, broadly referred to as "design of experiments" (DOE). The following review provides a tutorial-like guide into the selection of DOE for MS experiments, the practices for modeling and optimization of response variables, and the available software tools that support DOE implementation in any laboratory. This review comes 3 years after the latest DOE review (Hibbert DB, 2012), which provided a comprehensive overview on the types of designs available and their statistical construction. Since that time, new classes of DOE, such as the definitive screening design, have emerged and new calls have been made for mass spectrometrists to adopt the practice. Rather than exhaustively cover all possible designs, we have highlighted the three most practical DOE classes available to mass spectrometrists. This review further differentiates itself by providing expert recommendations for experimental setup and defining DOE entirely in the context of three case-studies that highlight the utility of different designs to achieve different goals. A step-by-step tutorial is also provided.

Analytical approach to determining human biogenic amines and their metabolites using eVol microextraction in packed syringe coupled to liquid chromatography mass spectrometry method with hydrophilic interaction chromatography column. Talanta 2015; 150:331-9. [PMID: 26838416 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2015.12.056] [Citation(s) in RCA: 22] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/03/2015] [Revised: 12/17/2015] [Accepted: 12/20/2015] [Indexed: 11/23/2022]
Abstract
Analysis of biogenic amines (BAs) in different human samples provides insight into the mechanisms of various biological processes, including pathological conditions, and thus may be very important in diagnosing and monitoring several neurological disorders and cancerous tumors. In this work, we developed a simple and fast procedure using a digitally controlled microextraction in packed syringe (MEPS) coupled to liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) method for simultaneous determination of biogenic amines, their precursors and metabolites in human plasma and urine samples. The separation of 12 low molecular weight and hydrophilic molecules with a wide range of polarities was achieved with hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) column without derivatization step in 12 min. MEPS was implemented using the APS sorbent in semi-automated analytical syringe (eVol(®)) and small volume of urine and plasma samples, 5 0µL and 100 μL, respectively. We evaluated important parameters influencing MEPS efficiency, including stationary phase selection, sample pH and volume, number of extraction cycles, and washing and elution volumes. In optimized MEPS conditions, the analytes were eluted by 3 × 50 μL of methanol with 0.1% formic acid. The chromatographic separation of analytes was performed on XBridge Amide™ BEH analytical column (3.0mm × 100 mm, 3.5 µm) using gradient elution with mobile phase consisting of phase A: 10mM ammonium formate buffer in water pH 3.0 and phase B: 10mM ammonium formate buffer in acetonitrile pH 3.0. The LC-HILIC-MS method was validated and, in optimum conditions, presented good linearity in concentration range within 10-2000 ng/mL for all the analytes with a determination coefficient (r(2)) higher than 0.999 for plasma and urine samples. Method recovery ranged within 87.6-104.3% for plasma samples and 84.2-98.6% for urine samples. The developed method utilizing polar APS sorbent along with polar HILIC column was applied for simultaneous bioanalysis of trace amounts of polar endogenous biogenic amines in real human urine and plasma samples.

Preanalytical validation and reference values for a mass spectrometric assay of serum vanillylmandelic acid for screening of catecholamine secreting neuroendocrine tumors. Clin Chim Acta 2015; 446:206-12.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Urinary vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) is used to diagnose and monitor catecholamine secreting neuroendocrine tumors (NETs). We developed and validated a new liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assay for determination of serum VMA. METHODS We used serum samples from healthy volunteers (n=314) and patients suspected for NET (n=36). Deuterated VMA as an internal standard was added to samples before solid phase extraction (SPE) and LC-MS/MS analysis. We studied the effects of sample storage, sampling device and a meal on serum VMA and metanephrine concentrations. Diurnal variation and age-dependent reference intervals were established. The diagnostic performance was compared with a urinary HPLC assay for VMA and metanephrines and a serum metanephrine LC-MS/MS assay. RESULTS Serum VMA is stable at least for one day at +4°C, seven days at room temperature and 98 days at -20°C. Type of sampling device was not critical, but elevated serum VMA occurs after a meal (p = 0.031). Serum VMA increased with age. Therefore, we suggest clinical cut-off values of 62 nmol/L, 80 nmol/L and 108 nmol/L for age groups 18-50 yrs, 51-70 yrs and > 70 yrs, respectively. Comparison between a urinary VMA HPLC assay and serum VMA LC-MS/MS assay showed good correlation. CONCLUSIONS Our LC-MS/MS assay is fast and sensitive and suits well for use in a clinical laboratory. Compared to 24-h urine collection our serum assay enables well controlled sampling and convenient preanalytical steps.

Abstract
Monoamine acidic metabolites in biological samples are essential biomarkers for the diagnosis of neurological disorders. In this work, acrylamide-functionalized graphene adsorbent was successfully synthesized by a chemical functionalization method and was packed in a homemade polyether ether ketone micro column as a micro-solid-phase extraction unit. This micro-solid-phase extraction unit was directly coupled to high-performance liquid chromatography to form an online system for the separation and analysis of three monoamine acidic metabolites including homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid in human urine and plasma. The online system showed high stability, permeability, and adsorption capacity toward target metabolites. The saturated extraction amount of this online system was 213.1, 107.0, and 153.4 ng for homovanillic acid, 5-hydroxyindole-3-acetic acid, and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid, respectively. Excellent detection limits were achieved in the range of 0.08-0.25 μg/L with good linearity and reproducibility. It was interesting that three targets in urine and plasma could be actually quantified to be 0.94-3.93 μg/L in plasma and 7.15-19.38 μg/L in urine. Good recoveries were achieved as 84.8-101.4% for urine and 77.8-95.1% for plasma with the intra- and interday relative standard deviations less than 9.3 and 10.3%, respectively. This method shows great potential for online analysis of trace monoamine acidic metabolites in biological samples.

Abstract
Introduction Dietary serotonin increases urinary secretion of 5-HIAA. A falsely elevated 5-HIAA may lead to incorrect suspicion of a neuroendocrine tumour. Therefore, we determined the effect and duration of dietary serotonin on serum 5-HIAA concentration. We also studied the distribution of 5-HIAA in serum fractions. Methods We used serum samples from healthy volunteers (31 women and four men). All test subjects avoided serotonin-containing foods for three days before sample collection. They then ate either pineapple, banana, kiwi fruit, tomato or walnuts and additional blood samples were taken after 2, 4, 6, 24, 48 and 72 h. To study the distribution of 5-HIAA in serum, samples from a healthy individual, a test person who had ingested walnuts, and from a neuroendocrine tumour patient were fractionated by gel filtration chromatography. The fractions were analysed for 5-HIAA. Results Serum 5-HIAA concentration increased significantly ( P ≤ 0.001) within 2 h after ingestion of serotonin-containing food. After 2 h, 5-HIAA concentration started to decrease and reached the baseline concentration within 24 h. A calculated half-life of 5-HIAA in circulation was 1.3 h. In fractionated serum, 5-HIAA was found not only in free form but also in the albumin and α2-globulin fractions. Conclusions The increase of serum 5-HIAA caused by dietary serotonin is significant but transient. Therefore, serotonin-containing foods should be avoided for one day before blood sampling. In serum, 5-HIAA is free and apparently bound to albumin. Minor amounts were also found in the α2-globulin fraction. Our liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry assay measures free 5-HIAA in serum.

Abstract
Enzyme-linked immuno-sorbent assay (ELISA) is widely used for biomarker detection. A good biomarker can distinguish patients from healthy or benign diseases. However, the ELISA method is not suitable for small molecule or trace substance detection. Along with the development of new technologies, an increasing level of biomaterials, especially small molecules, will be identified as novel biomarkers. Quantitative immuno-PCR, chromatography-mass spectrometry, and nucleic acid aptamer are emerging methodologies for detection of small molecule biomarkers, even in living cells. In this review, we focus on these novel technologies and their potential for small molecule biomarkers and living cell analysis.
