Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are organic acids with carbon atoms less than six, released through fermentation products by intestinal microbiome, having multiple physiological activities. Considering weak acidity and high volatility, derivatization or liquid-liquid extraction is essential, which is time consuming. Headspace-solid-phase dynamic extraction (HS-SPDE) coupled with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry is automated and effortless to determine SCFAs in rat feces. The extraction procedure is performed by aspirating and discharging the headspace cyclically through a steel needle, coated with an inner polyethylene glycol sorbent. The key parameters of SPDE were optimized including coating type, incubation time and temperature, and number of extraction strokes. Besides, salting-out was conducted. Then, a method by HS-SPDE-GC-MS was established and validated. It only took 3-min incubation time, 4.5 min extraction time, and 13 min chromatographic separation in a run. The recovery, linearity, limit of quantification, and stability were evaluated. Then, the proposed method was applied to analyze rat feces including 18 rats with liver injury and 23 normal controls. Mann-Whitney U test indicated that the concentrations of six SCFAs in normal rat feces were higher than those with liver injury. This method provides a choice for fast, solvent-free, automated, and high-throughput analysis of SCFAs.

Int J Mol Sci 2024; 25:5901. [PMID: 38892088 PMCID: PMC11172734 DOI: 10.3390/ijms25115901] [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: 04/06/2024] [Revised: 05/23/2024] [Accepted: 05/25/2024] [Indexed: 06/21/2024] Open
Abstract
Accurate and reliable quantification of organic acids with carboxylic acid functional groups in complex biological samples remains a major analytical challenge in clinical chemistry. Issues such as spontaneous decarboxylation during ionization, poor chromatographic resolution, and retention on a reverse-phase column hinder sensitivity, specificity, and reproducibility in multiple-reaction monitoring (MRM)-based LC-MS assays. We report a targeted metabolomics method using phenylenediamine derivatization for quantifying carboxylic acid-containing metabolites (CCMs). This method achieves accurate and sensitive quantification in various biological matrices, with recovery rates from 90% to 105% and CVs ≤ 10%. It shows linearity from 0.1 ng/mL to 10 µg/mL with linear regression coefficients of 0.99 and LODs as low as 0.01 ng/mL. The library included a wide variety of structurally variant CCMs such as amino acids/conjugates, short- to medium-chain organic acids, di/tri-carboxylic acids/conjugates, fatty acids, and some ring-containing CCMs. Comparing CCM profiles of pancreatic cancer cells to normal pancreatic cells identified potential biomarkers and their correlation with key metabolic pathways. This method enables sensitive, specific, and high-throughput quantification of CCMs from small samples, supporting a wide range of applications in basic, clinical, and translational research.

ANAL SCI 2024; 40:843-851.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are metabolites derived from gut microbiota and implicated in host homeostasis. Hence, the profiling SCFAs from biological samples plays an important role in revealing the interaction between gut microbiota and pathogens. Previous studies, liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) combined with various derivatization strategies have been performed to obtain the SCFA profiles from biological samples. However, it is poor evidence to compare these derivatization regents and conditions. Thus, we present the evaluation of three major derivatization reagents, namely 3-nitrophenylhydrazine (3-NPH), O-benzylhydroxylamine (O-BHA), and 2-picolylamine (2-PA), for the analysis of eight SCFAs classified as C2-C5 isomers using LC-MS/MS. First, in a reversed-phase LC separation, 3-NPH showed good retention capacity. Although O-BHA derivatization showed higher sensitivity and good retention capacity than 2-PA, only 2-PA derivatization could successfully separate eight SCFAs. The matrix effects in human serum ranged 77.1-99.0% (RSD ≤ 3.4%, n = 6) for 3-NPH derivatives, 91.0-94.6% (RSD ≤ 5.4%, n = 6) for O-BHA derivatives, 81.6-99.5% (RSD ≤ 8.0%, n = 6) for 2-PA derivatives. These compared results showed each characteristic of 3-NPH, O-BHA, and 2-PA for SCFA derivatization based on LC-MS/MS approaches.

Abstract
Fatty acids (FAs) have attracted many interests for their pivotal roles in many biological processes. Imbalance of FAs is related to a variety of diseases, which makes the measurement of them important in biological samples. Over the past two decades, mass spectrometry (MS) has become an indispensable technique for the analysis of FAs owing to its high sensitivity and precision. Due to complex matrix effect of biological samples and inherent poor ionization efficiency of FAs in MS, sample preparation including extraction and chemical derivatization prior to analysis are often employed. Here, we describe an updated overview of FA extraction techniques, as well as representative derivatization methods utilized in different MS platforms including gas chromatography-MS, liquid chromatography-MS, and mass spectrometry imaging based on different chain lengths of FAs. Derivatization strategies for the identification of double bond location in unsaturated FAs are also summarized and highlighted. The advantages, disadvantages, and prospects of these methods are compared and discussed. This review provides the development and valuable information for sample pretreatment approaches and qualitative and quantitative analysis of interested FAs using different MS-based platforms in complex biological matrices. Finally, the challenges of FA analysis are summarized and the future perspectives are prospected.

Abstract
Carboxylic acids (CAs) are key players in human and animal metabolism. As they are hardly retained under reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RP-LC) conditions in their native form, derivatization is an option to make them accessible to RP-LC and simultaneously increase their response for mass spectrometric detection. In this work, two RP-LC tandem mass spectrometry-based methods using aniline or 3-nitrophenylhydrazine (3-NPH) as derivatization agents were compared with respect to several factors including completeness of derivatization, apparent recoveries (RAs) in both cow feces and ruminal fluid, and concentrations obtained in feces and ruminal fluid of cows. Anion exchange chromatography coupled to high-resolution mass spectrometry (AIC-HR-MS) served as reference method. Derivatization efficiencies were close to 100% for 3-NPH derivatization but variable (20-100%) and different in solvent solutions and matrix extracts for aniline derivatization. Likewise, average RAs of 13C-labeled short-chain fatty acids as internal standards were around 100% for 3-NPH derivatization but only 45% for aniline derivatization. Quantification of CAs in feces and ruminal fluid of cows initially fed a forage-only diet and then transitioned to a 65% high-grain diet which yielded similar concentrations for 3-NPH derivatization and AIC-HR-MS, but concentrations determined by aniline derivatization were on average five times lower. For these reasons, derivatization with aniline is not recommended for the quantitative analysis of CAs in animal samples.

Abstract
Fatty acids (FAs) play a vital physiological role in lipid metabolism, which is reported as potential diagnostic biomarker for various diseases. Thus, it is urgent to develop a credible method that can profile FA metabolism with a holistic view. Here, a targeted strategy to screen FAs was developed by parallel labeling with d0/d6-dansylhydrazine (d0/d6-DnsHz) and using ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled with high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) in data-dependent MS/MS (ddMS2) mode. The simple and mild derivatization procedure within 3 h allowed for a significant improvement in sensitivity. Additionally, the characteristic product ions introduced by the derivatization reagent assist to identify the unknown FA species. A quantitation method was established by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) and the d6-DnsHz tagged standards for each analyte were used as internal standards to overcome the matrix effects. By applying the method to determine FA levels in plasma collected from the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) patients and healthy controls, 65 FA metabolites were characterized and six FAs were found to be altered by the invasion of tumors. The parallel derivatization strategy provides insights into the identification of unknown FAs and paves a new way for targeted metabolomics. Also, this novel method is a powerful tool for characterization and quantification of FAs in biological samples, which shows a great potential application in clinical diagnosis and investigation of disease mechanisms.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), as the main metabolites of gut microbiota, are recognized as crucial players in the host's inflammatory response and metabolic disease. Imaging the spatial distributions and calculating the accurate contents of SCFAs in the heterogeneous intestinal tissue are critical to reveal their biological functions. Here, we develop an isotope-coded on-tissue derivatization method combined with matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) to map the spatial expressions of SCFAs in the colon tissue based on pair-labeled N,N,N-trimethyl-2-(piperazin-1-yl)ethan-1-aminium iodide (TMPA) and D3-TMPA. A noticeable increase in the MALDI-MSI sensitivity of SCFAs was achieved after on-tissue derivatization, which enables the visualization of acetic acid, propionic acid, butyric acid, valeric acid, hexanoic acid, hydroxy acetic acid, and hydroxy propionic acid in the colon tissue. Moreover, the introduction of D3-TMPA-tagged SCFAs as internal standards can significantly reduce quantitation deviation from the matrix effects, ensuring the quantitative MALDI-MSI of SCFAs. We further used this method to characterize the spatial alterations of SCFAs in the colon tissues of mice with enterocolitis. The development of this strategy provides a reliable approach to image the spatial expressions of SCFAs in tissues and paves an insight way to study the roles of SCFAs in the gut microbiota and disease.

Abstract
Understanding the metabolic abnormalities of tumors is crucial for early diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Accurate identification and quantification of metabolites in biological samples are essential to investigate the relationship between metabolite variations and tumor development. Common techniques like LC-MS and GC-MS face challenges in measuring aberrant metabolites in tumors due to their strong polarity, isomerism, or low ionization efficiency during MS detection. Chemical derivatization of metabolites offers an effective solution to overcome these challenges. This review focuses on the difficulties encountered in analyzing aberrant metabolites in tumors, the principles behind chemical derivatization methods, and the advancements in analyzing tumor metabolites using derivatization-based chromatography. It serves as a comprehensive reference for understanding the analysis and detection of tumor metabolites, particularly those that are highly polar and exhibit low ionization efficiency.

Abstract
Lipids, serving as the structural components of cellular membranes, energy storage, and signaling molecules, play the essential and multiple roles in biological functions of mammals. Mass spectrometry (MS) is widely accepted as the first choice for lipid analysis, offering good performance in sensitivity, accuracy, and structural characterization. However, the untargeted qualitative profiling and absolute quantitation of lipids are still challenged by great structural diversity and high structural similarity. In recent decade, chemical derivatization mainly targeting carboxyl group and carbon-carbon double bond of lipids have been developed for lipidomic analysis with diverse advantages: (i) offering more characteristic structural information; (ii) improving the analytical performance, including chromatographic separation and MS sensitivity; (iii) providing one-to-one chemical isotope labeling internal standards based on the isotope derivatization regent in quantitative analysis. Moreover, the chemical derivatization strategy has shown great potential in combination with ion mobility mass spectrometry and ambient mass spectrometry. Herein, we summarized the current states and advances in chemical derivatization-assisted MS techniques for lipidomic analysis, and their strengths and challenges are also given. In summary, the chemical derivatization-based lipidomic approach has become a promising and reliable technique for the analysis of lipidome in complex biological samples.

Abstract
β-Mannan is abundant in the human diet and in hemicellulose derived from softwood. Linear or galactose-substituted β-mannan-oligosaccharides (MOS/GMOSs) derived from β-mannan are considered emerging prebiotics that could stimulate health-associated gut microbiota. However, the underlying mechanisms are not yet resolved. Therefore, this study investigated the cross-feeding and metabolic interactions between Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703, an acetate producer, and Roseburia hominis A2-183 DSMZ 16839, a butyrate producer, during utilization of MOS/GMOSs. Cocultivation studies suggest that both strains coexist due to differential MOS/GMOS utilization, along with the cross-feeding of acetate from B. adolescentis E194a to R. hominis A2-183. The data suggest that R. hominis A2-183 efficiently utilizes MOS/GMOS in mono- and cocultivation. Notably, we observed the transcriptional upregulation of certain genes within a dedicated MOS/GMOS utilization locus (RhMosUL), and an exo-oligomannosidase (RhMan113A) gene located distally in the R. hominis A2-183 genome. Significantly, biochemical analysis of β-1,4 mannan-oligosaccharide phosphorylase (RhMOP130A), α-galactosidase (RhGal36A), and exo-oligomannosidase (RhMan113A) suggested their potential synergistic role in the initial utilization of MOS/GMOSs. Thus, our results enhance the understanding of MOS/GMOS utilization by potential health-promoting human gut microbiota and highlight the role of cross-feeding and metabolic interactions between two secondary mannan degraders inhabiting the same ecological niche in the gut.

Abstract
A systematic strategy for detection and annotation of carboxyl compound was developed. 197 carboxyl compounds were detected in Chinese Baijiu for the first time. Annotation was based on MS1, tR, in-silico MS/MS, and characteristic fragments. Three of carboxyl compounds were newly identified in Chinese Baijiu. Distribution of carboxyl compounds in Baijiu with different flavors was revealed.
Carboxyl compounds have a significant influence on the flavor of Chinese Baijiu. However, because of the structural diversity and low concentration, the deep profiling of carboxyl compounds in Chinese Baijiu is still challenging. In this work, a systematic method for comprehensive analysis of carboxyl compounds in Chinese Baijiu was established. After derivatized under optimized conditions, 197 p-dimethylaminophenacyl bromide-derived carboxylic compounds were annotated by multidimensional information including accurate mass, predicted tR, in-silico MS/MS, and diagnostic ions for the first time. In addition, 48 of the 197 carboxyl compounds were positively identified, and three of them were newly identified in Chinese Baijiu. Moreover, we found the number and the concentration of carboxyl compounds in sauce-flavor Baijiu were more abundant than in strong-flavor Baijiu. This work provides a novel method for the analysis of carboxyl compounds in Baijiu and other complex samples.

Abstract
Fatty acids (FAs) play pleiotropic roles in living organisms, acting as signaling molecules and gene regulators. They are present in plants and foods and may affect human health by food ingestion. As a consequence, analytical methods for their determination in biological fluids, plants and foods have attracted high interest. Undoubtedly, mass spectrometry (MS) has become an indispensable technique for the analysis of FAs. Due to the inherent poor ionization efficiency of FAs, their chemical derivatization prior to analysis is often employed. Usually, the derivatization of the FA carboxyl group aims to charge reversal, allowing detection and quantification in positive ion mode, thus, resulting in an increase in sensitivity in determination. Another approach is the derivatization of the double bond of unsaturated FAs, which aims to identify the double bond location. The present review summarizes the various classes of reagents developed for FA derivatization and discusses their applications in the liquid chromatography-MS (LC-MS) analysis of FAs in various matrices, including plasma and feces. In addition, applications for the determination of eicosanoids and fatty acid esters of hydroxy fatty acids (FAHFAs) are discussed.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids are difficult to analyze with high sensitivity using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) owing to the high polarity of their carboxyl groups. Various derivatization methods have been developed; however, most are effective only for monocarboxylic acids and not for those having multiple carboxyl groups. Therefore, we successfully attempted to synthesize a derivatization reagent that could analyze both mono- and poly(carboxylic acid)s with high sensitivity. We optimized our derivatization reagent by modifying the structure of the reaction site, hydrophobicity of the derivatized compound, and linker structure connecting the reaction site to the permanently charged substructure. The reactivity toward carboxyl groups was improved by employing a piperidine moiety as the reaction site, and the ESI efficiency was improved by the highly hydrophobic and permanently charged triphenylpyridinium group. Furthermore, the incorporation of an alkyl linker enabled polylabeling. When the optimized reagent was applied to mono-, di-, tri-, and tetracarboxylic acids, the ESI efficiency increased with polylabeling; thus, our derivatization reagent outperforms existing derivatization methods and enables the analysis of poly(carboxylic acid)s with high sensitivity. Since this derivatization reagent can be applied to most carboxyl-containing compounds, it can be widely used for lipidomics, proteomics, and metabolomics.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are major gut microbiota-derived metabolites, which can reshape the intestine and regulate gut immunity. The application of conventional GC methods has been hampered for quantifying low-concentrated SCFAs, such as in serum, saliva, and digesta of germ-free animals. Herein, we established a LC-MS method to quantify SCFAs after 5-(dimethylamino)-1-carbohydrazide-isoquinoline (DMAQ) derivatization. The DMAQ derivatization significantly enhanced the detection sensitivity and improved separation of SCFAs. 2-methylbutyric acid and 3-methylbutyric acid were separately quantitated. Moreover, the matrix effect was diminished using DMAQ-13C/15N-tagged SCFAs as internal standards. The established quantitation method was successfully applied in the analysis of plasma and cecum digesta collected from neonatal piglets, revealing that significant increases in biological SCFA contents in cecum digesta were closely related to the variation of gut microbial diversity. The established quantitation method is capable of sensitively and comprehensively quantifying SCFAs that may provide insights into underlying gut-microbiota functions.

Abstract
2,2',4,4'-Tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) is one of the main and toxic congeners of polybrominated diphenyl ether (PBDE) family and considered to be associated with the development of obesity. However, little is known about its direct metabolic alterations on white adipose tissue (WAT). In this study, we evaluated the impacts of BDE-47 exposure on WAT dysfunctions in mice fed with low-fat diet (LFD) or high-fat diet (HFD) by the integration analysis of mass spectrometry-based metabolomics and lipidomics. The results showed that BDE-47 exposure together with HFD intervention induced adipocyte hypertrophy and accelerated the weight gain of WAT, whereas no obvious effects were observed in mice fed with LFD. The combination of BDE-47 and HFD induced intolerable levels of metabolites in purine and glutathione metabolism pathways, sufficient to increase oxidative stress in WAT. Importantly, continuous exposure of BDE-47 in HFD -fed mice caused lipid metabolism dysfunction by promoting fatty acid uptake and de novo synthesis and suppressing β-oxidation, ultimately leading to the accumulation of saturated fatty acids, triglycerides in WAT. At the same time, BDE-47 increased inflammatory infiltration into WAT, consequently promoting the productions of cytokines, TNFα and IL-6, in HFD fed mice. It is found that dysfunction of lipid metabolism and increasing inflammation led to lipotoxicity in WAT and severe obesity in HFD mice. Taken together, our findings deepen the understanding of the obesogenic effect of BDE-47 and help identify new potential strategies for clarifying the molecular and metabolic mechanisms.

Abstract
Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) are increasingly being monitored to elucidate the link between gut health and disease. These metabolites are routinely measured in faeces, but their determination in serum is more challenging due to their low concentrations. A method for the determination of eight SCFAs in serum is described here. High-resolution mass spectrometry and gas chromatography were used to identify the presence of isomeric interferences, which were then overcome through a combination of chromatographic separation and judicious choice of MS fragment ion. The SCFAs were derivatised to form 3-nitrophenylhydrazones before being separated on a reversed-phase column and then detected using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-QQQ-MS). The LODs and LOQs of SCFAs using this method were in the range 1 to 7 ng mL−1 and 3 to 19 ng mL−1, respectively. The recovery of the SCFAs in serum ranged from 94 to 114% over the three concentration ranges tested.

Abstract
Medium- and long-chain fatty acids (MLFAs) are essential energy sources in cells and possess vital biological functions. Characteristics of MLFAs in biosamples contributes to the understanding of biological process and finding potential biomarkers for relevant diseases. However, there are obstacles of the MLFAs determination due to their poor ionization efficiency in mass spectrometry and structural similarity of the MLFAs. Herein, a derivatization strategy was applied by labeling with d0-N, N-dimethyl-6,7-dihydro-5H-pyrrolo [3,4-d] pyrimidine-2-amine (d0-DHPP) and detecting with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography combined with tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The parallel isotope labeled internal standards were generated by tagging d6-DHPP to MLFAs. The simple and rapid derivatization procedure and mild reaction conditions greatly reduced the potential of MLFA degradation during the processing procedure. With the methodology, the chromatographic performance was greatly improved, and the mass spectrum response was enhanced up to 1, 600 folds. Finally, the developed derivatization method was applied to serum samples to analyze the alteration of MLFAs induced by 2,2',4,4'-tetrabromodiphenyl ether (BDE-47) exposure in breast cancer nude mice. The semi-quantitative results demonstrated that the BDE-47 exposure significantly influenced the MLFA metabolism in mice.

Abstract
The inclusion of preliminary chemical labeling (derivatization) in the analysis process by such powerful and widespread methods as electrospray ionization (ESI) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry (MS) is a popular and widely used methodological approach. This is due to the need to remove some fundamental limitations inherent in these powerful analytic methods. Although a number of special reviews has been published discussing the utilization of derivatization approaches, the purpose of the present critical review is to comprehensively summarize, characterize and evaluate most of the previously developed and practically applied, as well as recently proposed representative derivatization reagents for ESI-MS and MALDI-MS platforms in their mostly sensitive positive ion mode and frequently hyphenated with separation techniques. The review is focused on the use of preliminary chemical labeling to facilitate the detection, identification, structure elucidation, quantification, profiling or MS imaging of compounds within complex matrices. Two main derivatization approaches, namely the introduction of permanent charge-fixed or highly proton affinitive residues into analytes are critically evaluated. In situ charge-generation, charge-switch and charge-transfer derivatizations are considered separately. The potential of using reactive matrices in MALDI-MS and chemical labeling in MS-based omics sciences is given.

A novel charge derivatization-direct infusion mass spectrometry method for the quantitative analysis of C 1-C 8 fatty acids in rubber seed oil-based biodiesel. Talanta 2021; 226:122107. [PMID: 33676663 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122107] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/04/2020] [Revised: 01/03/2021] [Accepted: 01/09/2021] [Indexed: 02/07/2023]
Abstract
The free fatty acids that contain one to eight carbons (C1-C8) in biodiesel would affect the quality of biodiesel. It is still a matter of challenge to simultaneously determine the composition of C1-C8 fatty acids in seed oil and seed oil-based biodiesel. Herein, a novel method of charge derivatization coupling with direct infusion mass spectrometry (CD-DIMS) was developed for the determination of the C1-C8 fatty acids in biodiesels. A fixed-charge derivatization reagent, 1-cyclohexyl-3-(2-morpholinoethyl)carbodiimide (CMCT), was used to convert fatty acids into their cationic derivatives, which significantly improved the sensitivity and selectivity of detection. Good linearity was observed with the limits of detection (LODs) in the range of 0.0002-0.001 μg mL-1 for the investigated fatty acids. The recovery was in the range of 85.1%-101.9% and the matrix effect was within the range of 75.5-93.2%. The developed method was carried out to analyze C1-C8 fatty acids in rubber seed oil (RSO) and RSO-based biodiesels produced by different catalysts, including NaOH, TiO2, and carbodiimide. It was also applied to the dynamic monitoring of C1-C8 fatty acids in RSO and produced RSO biodiesels during the oxidation process. As results, formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid were detected in aged RSO and biodiesel samples. The contents of formic acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid all increased in aged RSO and biodiesels, but with different growth rates. These results demonstrated that the developed CD-DIMS method can provide a quick, accurate, and sensitive analysis of C1-C8 fatty acids in seed oil and biodiesel samples.

A review of analytical methods used to measure GM-related metabolites in fecal samples with a focus on metabolites' derivatization step. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2020; 191:113617. [PMID: 32971497 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2020.113617] [Citation(s) in RCA: 8] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/15/2020] [Revised: 08/31/2020] [Accepted: 09/02/2020] [Indexed: 12/12/2022]
Abstract
Disruption of gut microbiota (GM) composition is increasingly related to the pathogenesis of various metabolic diseases. Additionally, GM is responsible for the production and transformation of metabolites involved in the development of metabolic disorders, such as obesity and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). The current state of knowledge regarding the composition of GM and GM-related metabolites in relation to the progress and development of obesity and T2DM is presented in this review. To understand the relationships between GM-related metabolites and the development of metabolic disorders, their accurate qualitative and quantitative measurement in biological samples is needed. Feces represent a valuable biological matrix which composition may reflect the health status of the lower gastrointestinal tract and the whole organism. Mass spectrometry (MS), mainly in combination with gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC), is commonly used to measure fecal metabolites. However, profiling metabolites in such a complex matrix as feces is challenging from both analytical chemistry and biochemistry standpoints. Chemical derivatization is one of the most effective methods used to overcome these problems. In this review, we provide a comprehensive summary of the derivatization methods of GM-related metabolites prior to GC-MS or LC-MS analysis, which have been published in the last five years (2015-2020). Additionally, analytical methods used for the analysis of GM-related metabolites without the derivatization step are also presented.
