Efficient derivatization-free monitoring of glycosyltransferase reactions via flow injection analysis-mass spectrometry for rapid sugar analytics. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:5191-5203. [PMID: 39095616 PMCID: PMC11377506 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05457-9] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/19/2024] [Revised: 07/19/2024] [Accepted: 07/23/2024] [Indexed: 08/04/2024]
Abstract
The widespread application of enzymes in industrial chemical synthesis requires efficient process control to maintain high yields and purity. Flow injection analysis-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (FIA-ESI-MS) offers a promising solution for real-time monitoring of these enzymatic processes, particularly when handling challenging compounds like sugars and glycans, which are difficult to quickly analyze using liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry due to their physical properties or the requirement for a derivatization step beforehand. This study compares the performance of FIA-MS with traditional hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)-ultra high-performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC)-mass spectrometry (MS) setups for the monitoring of the enzymatic synthesis of N-acetyllactosamine (LacNAc) using beta-1,4-galactosyltransferase. Our results show that FIA-MS, without prior chromatographic separation or derivatization, can quickly generate accurate mass spectrometric data within minutes, contrasting with the lengthy separations required by LC-MS methods. The rapid data acquisition of FIA-MS enables effective real-time monitoring and adjustment of the enzymatic reactions. Furthermore, by eliminating the derivatization step, this method offers the possibility of being directly coupled to a continuously operated reactor, thus providing a rapid on-line methodology for glycan synthesis as well.

Abstract
Derivatization of monosaccharides with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) introduces two chromophores per sugar molecule. Their separation on a superficially porous C18 reverse-phase column, using common liquid chromatography equipment, results in short analysis times (under 20 min) and high sensitivity (limit of quantitation 1 nmol). This method allows for complex monosaccharide mixtures to be separated and quantified using a reasonably simple and safe derivatization procedure.

Highly sensitive ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry detection method for levoglucosan based on Na + enhancing its ionization efficiency. RSC Adv 2023; 13:7030-7036.

Abstract
The sensitive determination of levoglucosan in aqueous samples has great significance for the study of biomass burning. Although some sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) detection methods have been developed for levoglucosan, there are still plenty of shortcomings, such as complicated sample pre-treatment procedures, large-amount sample requirements, and poor reproducibility. Herein, a new method for the determination of levoglucosan in the aqueous sample was developed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). In this method, we firstly found that compared with H+, Na+ could effectively enhance the ionization efficiency of levoglucosan, even though the content of H+ is higher in the environment. Moreover, the precursor ion m/z 185.1 [M + Na]+ could be used as a quantitative ion to sensitively detect levoglucosan in aqueous samples. Only 2 μL of un-pretreated sample is required for one injection in this method, and great linearity was obtained (R 2 = 0.9992) using the external standard method when the concentration of levoglucosan was 0.5-50 ng mL-1. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were 0.1 ng mL-1 (0.2 pg absolute mass injected) and 0.3 ng mL-1, respectively. Acceptable repeatability, reproducibility, and recovery were achieved. This method has the advantages of high sensitivity, good stability, good reproducibility, and simple operation, which could be widely used for the detection of different concentrations of levoglucosan in various water samples, especially for the detection of samples with low content such as ice core or snow samples.

Abstract
Sucrose is a primary metabolite in plants, a source of energy, a source of carbon atoms for growth and development, and a regulator of biochemical processes. Most of the traditional analytical chemistry methods for sucrose quantification in plants require sample treatment (with consequent tissue destruction) and complex facilities, that do not allow real-time sucrose quantification at ultra-low concentrations (nM to pM range) under in vivo conditions, limiting our understanding of sucrose roles in plant physiology across different plant tissues and cellular compartments. Some of the above-mentioned problems may be circumvented with the use of bio-compatible ligands for molecular recognition of sucrose. Nevertheless, problems such as the signal-noise ratio, stability, and selectivity are some of the main challenges limiting the use of molecular recognition methods for the in vivo quantification of sucrose. In this review, we provide a critical analysis of the existing analytical chemistry tools, biosensors, and synthetic ligands, for sucrose quantification and discuss the most promising paths to improve upon its limits of detection. Our goal is to highlight the criteria design need for real-time, in vivo, highly sensitive and selective sucrose sensing capabilities to enable further our understanding of living organisms, the development of new plant breeding strategies for increased crop productivity and sustainability, and ultimately to contribute to the overarching need for food security.

Abstract
Dendrobium officinale Kimura et Migo has been used as a traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and a functional food for thousands of years. Carbohydrate is one of the most important effective substances and indicative components in D. officinale. However, since the qualitative and quantitative analysis of polysaccharides in D. officinale remains a challenge and limitation, herein, an oligosaccharide-quality marker approach was newly developed for quality assessment of D. officinale by spectrum–effect relationships between high performance liquid chromatographic (HPLC) fingerprints and anti-inflammatory effects. The HPLC fingerprints of 48 batches of oligosaccharides from D. officinale (DOOS) were developed and analyzed with similarity analysis (SA) and hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA), and eight common peaks were identified. In vitro screening experiment indicated that DOOS potentially inhibited nitric oxide (NO) production and effectively reduced the release of inflammatory cytokines, such as TNF-α, IL-6, and IL-1β in RAW 264.7 cells, thereby reducing the inflammatory response of cells. Finally, the HPLC fingerprint of different batches of DOOS was combined with in vitro anti-inflammatory activity to assess the spectrum–effect relationships of DOOS by gray correlation analysis (GCA), in addition, the purified oligosaccharide components were identified and validated for NO inhibitory activity. Our results showed four DOOS (maltotetraose, maltopentaose, maltohexaose, and mannohexaose) were relevant to anti-inflammatory effects and could be as quality markers for the quality control of D. officinale. It suggests that the “oligosaccharide-spectrum-effect” relationships approach is a simple and reliable method for the quality control of herb medicines or nutritious foods.

Potential Misidentification of Natural Isomers and Mass-Analogs of Modified Nucleosides by Liquid Chromatography-Triple Quadrupole Mass Spectrometry. Genes (Basel) 2022; 13:genes13050878.

Abstract
Triple quadrupole mass spectrometry coupled to liquid chromatography (LC-TQ-MS) can detect and quantify modified nucleosides present in various types of RNA, and is being used increasingly in epitranscriptomics. However, due to the low resolution of TQ-MS and the structural complexity of the many naturally modified nucleosides identified to date (>160), the discrimination of isomers and mass-analogs can be problematic and is often overlooked. This study analyzes 17 nucleoside standards by LC-TQ-MS with separation on three different analytical columns and discusses, with examples, three major causes of analyte misidentification: structural isomers, mass-analogs, and isotopic crosstalk. It is hoped that this overview and practical examples will help to strengthen the accuracy of the identification of modified nucleosides by LC-TQ-MS.

Abstract
Polysaccharides exhibit multiple pharmacological activities, which are closely related to their structural characteristics. Therefore, quantitative quality control of polysaccharides based on chemical properties is of importance for their applications. However, polysaccharides are mixed macromolecular compounds that are difficult to separate, and the lack of standards made direct quantification more difficult. In this study, we proposed a new quantitative method based on the released specific oligosaccharides for polysaccharides from Lentinus edodes (shiitake) and other related fungi. Specific oligosaccharides were firstly released from polysaccharides using 1,3-β-glucanase, then derivatized with 2-aminobenzamide (2-AB), which further separated by hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) and quantitatively determined by UPLC coupled with fluorescence detector (FLR). Laminaritriose was used as the universal standard for quantification of all the oligosaccharides. This method was validated according to linearity, limit of detection, limit of quantitation, precision, accuracy, repeatability and stability. In addition, the four specific oligosaccharides released from polysaccharides in L. edodes were qualitatively analyzed by extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) from UPLC-MS profiles, which were identified to be disaccharide, trisaccharide and tetrasccharide. The proposed strategy not only realized the quantitative analysis of polysaccharides by UPLC-FLR, but also could achieve the qualitative distinction of different polysaccharides.

Abstract
A method for the simultaneous determination of six monosaccharides by pre-column derivatization with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and capillary electrophoresis was developed in this work. The derivatization (i.e., reaction temperature, capillary electrophoresis duration, and extraction number) and separation (i.e., pH and buffer concentration) conditions for capillary electrophoresis were optimized. Results showed that the limits of detection under optimal conditions were in the range of 0.036-0.35 mg/L with a mean correlation coefficient >0.99. The recoveries were in the range of 87.3-108.49%, and the relative standard deviations of intra- and inter-day variations were in the ranges of 2.2-3.8 and 3.2-5.0%, respectively. The method was successfully applied to the analysis of six free monosaccharides in three types of Ginkgo biloba leaves.

Abstract
Monosaccharide isomers and disaccharide isomers widely exist in nature, playing a key role in a number of important biological processes. However, due to high structural similarity and high polarity, the characterization of monosaccharide isomers, disaccharide isomers, as well as the analysis of monosaccharide composition of polysaccharides by a method that does not require derivatization is an ongoing challenge. Herein, we proposed a simple method for rapid discrimination of non-derivatized neutral monosaccharide, and disaccharide isomers using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled to quadrupole/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (HILIC-Q/TOF-MS). In this work, we optimized the experimental parameters, and detailed approaches to discriminate the precursor ions, deprotonated ions, and fragment ions are proposed, as well. To discriminate the various ions, the retention times, the relative abundance (RA) of precursor ions and fragment ions at different collision energies, the relative abundance ratio (RAR) of fragment ions to deprotonated ions or precursor ions were considered for characterization of neutral monosaccharide and disaccharide isomers. Finally, this strategy was successfully applied to analyzing the monosaccharide composition of neutral disaccharides, polysaccharides, and an aqueous extract of Moringa oleifera seeds. The experimental results revealed that the HILIC-Q/TOF-MS is an effective and convenient strategy for rapid differentiation of monosaccharide isomers and disaccharide isomers, which may serve as a general platform for the analysis of neutral polysaccharides, food, medicinal plants, and herbs.

Abstract
Untargeted metabolomics has been widely used for studies with zebrafish embryos. Until now, the number of analytical approaches to determine metabolites in zebrafish is limited, and there is a lack of consensus on the best platforms for comprehensive metabolomics analysis of zebrafish embryos. In addition, the capacity of these methods to detect metabolites is unsatisfactory and the confidence level for identifying compounds is relatively low. To improve the metabolome coverage, we mainly focused on the optimization of separation mechanisms, mobile phase additives, and resuspension solvents based on liquid chromatography (LC) coupling to high-resolution mass spectrometry (HRMS) techniques. Moreover, the procedures for optimizing methods were assessed when taking metabolite profiles in both positive and negative ionization modes into account. Four LC columns were studied: C18, T3, PFP, and HILIC. In positive ionization mode, it was strongly recommended to employ the HILIC approach operated at the neutral condition, which led to the presence of more than 4700 features and the annotation of 151 metabolites, mainly zwitterionic and basic compounds, in comparison to reverse phase (RP)-based methods with less than 1000 features. In negative ionization mode, the PFP column operated at 0.02% acetic acid showed the best performance in terms of metabolite coverage: 3100 metabolic features were detected and 218 metabolites were annotated in zebrafish embryos. Metabolite profiles mainly contained acidic and zwitterionic compounds. HILIC-based platforms were complementary to RP columns when analyzing highly polar metabolites. Additionally, it was preferable to reconstitute zebrafish extracts in 100% water for analysis of metabolites on RP columns, with a 20-30% increase in the number of identified metabolites compared to a 50% water in methanol solution. However, water/methanol (1:9, v/v), as resuspension solution, was advantageous over water/methanol (1:1, v/v) for HILIC analysis showing an 8-15% increase in detected metabolites. In total 336 polar metabolites were annotated by the combination of the optimized HILIC (positive) and PFP (negative) approaches. The largest metabolome coverage of polar metabolites in zebrafish embryos was obtained when three approaches were combined (negative PFP and HILIC, and HILIC positive) resulting in more than 420 annotated compounds.

Abstract
Silica-based electrodes which permanently include a graphite/Au nanoparticles composite were tested for non-enzymatic detection of glucose and fructose. The composite material showed an effective electrocatalytic activity, to achieve the oxidation of the two analytes at quite low potential values and with good linearity. Reduced surface passivation was observed even in presence of organic species normally constituting real samples. Electrochemical responses were systematically recorded in cyclic voltammetry and differential pulse voltammetry by analysing 99 solutions containing glucose and fructose at different concentration values. The analysed samples consisted both in glucose and fructose aqueous solutions at pH 12 and in solutions of synthetic musts of red grapes, to test the feasibility of the approach in a real frame. Multivariate exploratory analyses of the electrochemical signals were performed using the Principal Component Analysis (PCA). This gave evidence of the effectiveness of the chemometric approach to study the electrochemical sensor responses. Thanks to PCA, it was possible to highlight the different contributions of glucose and fructose to the voltammetric signal, allowing their selective determination.

Abstract
Codium fragile is a green alga belonging to Codiales family. The sulfated polysaccharides of this alga have anti-coagulation, antiviral, anti-angiogenesis, antioxidant, and immunoregulatory properties. In this study, we developed a reliable and rapid method for the analysis of 10 monosaccharides using ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in the negative electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring mode. Monosaccharides, including two pentoses (xylose, arabinose); two deoxyhexoses (rhamnose, fucose); three hexoses (mannose, glucose, galactose); two hexuronic acids (glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid), and an N-acetyl-hexosamine (glucosamine), were derivatized using 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone and simultaneously analyzed within 9 min. Optimization of the derivatization process, especially by using various 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone concentrations, was studied. The calibration curves showed good linearity with a squared correlation coefficient > 0.995. The spiked recovery was determined to be 91.1-105.7% with the relative intra-day and inter-day standard deviations ranging from 2.58-6.71% and 3.15-7.67%, respectively. The limit of detection and limit of quantification for all 10 monosaccharides ranged from 0.02 to 0.10 μg/mL and 0.05 to 0.25 μg/mL, respectively. Using this method, the monosaccharides comprising the polysaccharides of Codium fragile were determined to be arabinose, galactose, and glucose.

Abstract
Robust and more anti-interference enzymatic quantification of galactooligosaccharide (GOS) is important in consumer protection. However, many methods with harsh conditions could hardly separate GOS's hydrolysates galactose from its structurally similar isomer glucose, since each of them has double epimers, especially to determinate a trace of GOS from large amounts of lactose in the food matrix. The investigation was designed to solve the problem by using High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Evaporative Light Scattering Detector (HPLC-ELSD), applying friendly mobile phase and column. Result showed the content of galactose was seldom affected even by a high content of glucose by integrating the peak area of an excellent resolution single epimer. Moreover, the method existed a good linearity and stability (recovery rate at 90.5-105.1%), which met the statutory limit requirement for the quantitative analysis of concentrated GOS in infant formula. It was also helpful for separating and quantifying other sugar or epimers.

Abstract
The simultaneous determination of monosaccharides present in the activated sludge would be crucial to understand the water treatment mechanism. Herein, an ion chromatography-mass spectrometry (IC-MS) with online pretreatment of column switching technique was proposed to analyze monosaccharides hydrolyzed from extracellular polysaccharides in the activated sludge. When the matrix was eliminated in the first dimension, monosaccharides were immediately identified by IC-MS. The improved ionization efficiency was achieved with the addition of T-joint prior to MS. During the performance test, our established method showed excellent detection limits ranging from 0.34 to 2.15 μg/L for all sugar targets. Great linearity (R ≥ 0.9955) was also achieved using this method in the range from 0.01 to 5 mg/L. Furthermore, the average recoveries were obtained between 84.82 and 113.46%. RSDs for peak areas and retention times were determined as 3.76% and 0.27%, respectively. Finally, this approach provided a rapid, convenient, and practical determination of monosaccharides in the activated sludge, which would be helpful for the analysis of monosaccharides derived from other biological samples.

Abstract
Carbohydrates (such as levoglucosan) are a class of important water-soluble organic compounds in atmosphere. In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) was applied to characterize carbohydrates in aerosol particles. Since carbohydrate was a kind of compound with low response in mass spectrometry, the conventional HPLC-MS/MS method was not sensitive enough to determine it. When acetate acid was added into mobile phase as buffer, the transition of [M+CH3COO]-→[M-H]- could be selected as the quantification ions. In the range from 1.0 μg L-1 to 20 μg mL-1, the coefficients of regression (r2) were more than 0.990, and relative standard deviations (RSD) for replicated injections were lower than 2%. The limit of detection (LOD) and quantification (LOQ) were lower than 2.5 ng L-1 and 10 ng L-1, respectively. The precision and accuracy were examined by spiked samples at three different concentration levels (10 μg L-1, 100 μg L-1, and 500 μg L-1) in five replicates. Recovery ratios ranged from 85% to 115% with RSD lower than 16%. Matrix effects of different carbohydrates ranged from 62% to 120%. The most sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated to analyze 40 aerosol samples successfully. The carbohydrates including three sugar alcohols (threitol, arabitol and sorbitol), one monosaccharide sugar (inositol), two disaccharides (sucrose, trehalose), one anhydrosugar (levoglucosan) and one 2-methyltetrols (2-Methylbutane-1,2,3,4-tretraol) were successfully quantified.

Determining 1-kestose, nystose and raffinose oligosaccharides in grape juices and wines using HPLC: method validation and characterization of products from Northeast Brazil. Journal of Food Science and Technology 2019; 56:4575-4584. [PMID: 31686689 DOI: 10.1007/s13197-019-03936-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 10] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Revised: 06/06/2019] [Accepted: 07/08/2019] [Indexed: 12/22/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this work was to validate a method for direct determination in grape juice and wine of 1-kestose, nystose and raffinose oligosaccharides by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with refractive index detection using a new type of RP-C18 column (150 × 4.6 mm, 4 µm) with polar end-capping. The validated methodology was also used to characterize grape juice and fine wine products from Northeastern Brazil; and presented suitable linearity, precision, recovery, limits of detection and quantification. The method presented good specificity, revealing that sugars, organic acids, and ethanol (the main interferences in refraction detection) did not influence the quantification of the studied oligosaccharides. The main oligosaccharide found was 1-kestose (approximately 50% of the samples), followed by raffinose (20% of the samples). The results obtained in this are an indication that grape juices and wines have the potential to be functional beverages in relation to the presence of prebiotics.

Abstract
This review focuses on the most recent papers (from 2011 to submission date in 2017) dealing with the analysis of different organic components in foods (i.e. nucleobases, nucleosides, nucleotides, uric acid, and creatinine, amino acids and related compounds, choline-related compounds and phospholipids, carbohydrates, artificial sweeteners and polyphenolic compounds), using hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC) combined with different detection techniques. For each compound class, the investigated food matrices are grouped per: foods of animal origin, vegetables, fruits and related products, baby food, and other matrices such as drinks and mushrooms/fungi. Furthermore, the main advantages of HILIC chromatography respect to the other commonly used techniques are discussed.

Abstract
Levoglucosan (LEV) in glacier snow and ice layers provides a fingerprint of fire activity, ranging from modern air pollution to ancient fire emissions. In this study, we review recent progress in our understanding and application of LEV in glaciers, including analytical methods, transport and post-depositional processes, and historical records. We firstly summarize progress in analytical methods for determination of LEV in glacier snow and ice. Then, we discuss the processes influencing the records of LEV in snow and ice layers. Finally, we make some recommendations for future work, such as assessing the stability of LEV and obtaining continuous records, to increase reliability of the reconstructed ancient fire activity. This review provides an update for researchers working with LEV and will facilitate the further use of LEV as a biomarker in paleo-fire studies based on ice core records.

Abstract
Xylose fermentation is a bottleneck in second-generation ethanol production. As such, a comprehensive understanding of xylose metabolism in naturally xylose-fermenting yeasts is essential for prospection and construction of recombinant yeast strains. The objective of the current study was to establish a reliable metabolomics protocol for quantification of key metabolites of xylose catabolism pathways in yeast, and to apply this protocol to Spathaspora arborariae. Ultra-high performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) was used to quantify metabolites, and afterwards, sample preparation was optimized to examine yeast intracellular metabolites. S. arborariae was cultivated using xylose as a carbon source under aerobic and oxygen-limited conditions. Ion pair chromatography (IPC) and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) were shown to efficiently quantify 14 and 5 metabolites, respectively, in a more rapid chromatographic protocol than previously described. Thirteen and eleven metabolites were quantified in S. arborariae under aerobic and oxygen-limited conditions, respectively. This targeted metabolomics protocol is shown here to quantify a total of 19 metabolites, including sugars, phosphates, coenzymes, monosaccharides, and alcohols, from xylose catabolism pathways (glycolysis, pentose phosphate pathway, and tricarboxylic acid cycle) in yeast. Furthermore, to our knowledge, this is the first time that intracellular metabolites have been quantified in S. arborariae after xylose consumption. The results indicated that fine control of oxygen levels during fermentation is necessary to optimize ethanol production by S. arborariae. The protocol presented here may be applied to other yeast species and could support yeast genetic engineering to improve second generation ethanol production. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Ephedra sinica polysaccharides have been reported to possess important activities, so quality evaluation of polysaccharides from the genus Ephedra is urgent. In this study, enzymatic digestions were performed to establish multiple saccharide fingerprints by ultra-performance liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-TQ-MS/MS) based on a multiple-reaction monitoring in negative mode. Under optimum UPLC-ESI⁻-TQ-MS/MS conditions, excellent separation and quantification of 21 constituents were achieved within 20 min on a solid core column with a 1.6 μm particle using pre-column derivatization with a PMP reagent. This method, coupled with enzymatic digestions and principal component analysis, has been successfully applied to characterize and discriminate Ephedra polysaccharides attributed to different species and plant parts. The results suggest that the proposed analytical strategy could achieve a quality evaluation of plant polysaccharides from traditional Chinese medicines.

Abstract
A novel, rapid, simultaneous analysis method for five sugars (fructose, glucose, sucrose, maltose, and lactose) and eight sugar alcohols (erythritol, xylitol, sorbitol, mannitol, inositol, maltitol, lactitol, and isomalt) was developed using UPLC-ELSD, without derivatization. The analysis conditions, including the gradient conditions, modifier concentration and column length, were optimized. Thirteen sugars and sugar alcohols were separated well and the resolution of their peaks was above 1.0. Their optimum analysis condition can be analyzed within 15min. Standard curves for sugars and sugar alcohols with concentrations of 5.0-0.1% and 2.0-0.05% are presented herein, and their correlation coefficients are found to be above 0.999 and the limit of detection (LOD) was around 0.006-0.018%. This novel analysis system can be used for foodstuffs such as candy, chewing gum, jelly, chocolate, processed chocolate products, and snacks containing 0.21-46.41% of sugars and sugar alcohols.

Abstract
In accordance with our previous study that was carried out to identify novel anti-tumor ingredients, chromatographic separation in combination with an anti-tumor activity assay was used for analysis of Cordyceps militaris extract in this study. Various modes of chromatography including reversed-phase, cation-exchange and anion-exchange were used to separate components of Cordyceps militaris, which showed various chemical properties. Anti-tumor activity of each fraction was assessed by a Hoechst staining-based apoptosis assay using malignant melanoma MeWo cells. By these repeated approaches through chromatographic segregation and cell biological assay, we finally succeeded in identifying the target substance from a certain fraction that included neutral hydrophilic components using a pre-column and post-column chlorine adduct ionization LC-APCI-MS method. The target substance was a mono-carbohydrate, xylitol, that induced apoptotic cell death in MeWo cells but not in normal human OUMS-24 fibroblasts. This is the first study showing that Cordyceps militaris extract contains a large amount of xylitol. Thus, our results will contribute greatly to uncovering the mysterious multifunctional herbal drug Cordyceps militaris as an anti-tumor agent.

Development and validation of a sensitive UPLC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of [(13)C]sucrose in rat plasma, blood, and brain: Its application to the measurement of blood-brain barrier permeability. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2016; 1015-1016:105-110.

Abstract
Accurate and reproducible measurement of blood-brain barrier (BBB) integrity is critical in the assessment of the pathophysiology of the central nervous system disorders and in monitoring therapeutic effects. The widely-used low molecular weight marker [(14)C]sucrose is non-specific in the absence of chromatographic separation. The purpose of this study was to develop and validate a sensitive and reproducible LC-MS/MS method for the analysis of stable isotope-modified [(13)C12]sucrose in brain, plasma, and blood to determine BBB permeability to sucrose. After addition of internal standard (IS, [(13)C6]sucrose), the marker and IS were recovered from diluted rat blood, plasma, and brain homogenate by protein precipitation using acetonitrile. The recovery of the marker and IS was almost quantitative (90-106%) for all three matrices. The recovered samples were directly injected into an isocratic UPLC system with a run time of 6 min. Mass spectrometry was conducted using multiple reaction monitoring in negative mode. The method was linear (r(2)≥0.99) in the concentration ranges tested for the diluted blood and plasma (10-1000 ng/mL) and brain homogenate (1-200 ng/mL). The lower limit of quantitation of the assay was 0.5 pg injected on column. The assay was validated (n=5) based on acceptable intra- and inter-run accuracy and precision values. The method was successfully used for the measurement of serial blood and plasma and terminal brain concentrations of [(13)C12]sucrose after a single intravenous dose (10 mg/kg) of the marker to rats. As expected, the apparent brain uptake clearance values of [(13)C12]sucrose were low in healthy rats. The method may be useful for determination of the BBB integrity in animal models.

Method for determination of levoglucosan in snow and ice at trace concentration levels using ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. Talanta 2016; 148:534-8.

Abstract
A method is developed for determination of levoglucosan at trace concentration levels in complex matrices of snow and ice samples. This method uses an injection mixture comprising acetonitrile and melt sample at a ratio of 50/50 (v/v). Samples are analyzed using ultra-performance liquid chromatography system combined with triple tandem quadrupole mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS). Levoglucosan is analyzed on BEH Amide column (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 1.7 um), and a Z-spray electrospray ionization source is used for levoglucosan ionization. The polyether sulfone filter is selected for filtrating insoluble particles due to less impact on levoglucosan. The matrix effect is evaluated by using a standard addition method. During the method validation, limit of detection (LOD), linearity, recovery, repeatability and reproducibility were evaluated using standard addition method. The LOD of this method is 0.11 ng mL(-1). Recoveries vary from 91.2% at 0.82 ng mL(-1) to 99.3% at 4.14 ng mL(-1). Repeatability ranges from 17.9% at a concentration of 0.82 ng mL(-1) to 2.8% at 4.14 ng mL(-1). Reproducibility ranges from 15.1% at a concentration of 0.82 ng mL(-1) to 1.9% at 4.14 ng mL(-1). This method can be implemented using less than 0.50 mL sample volume in low and middle latitude regions like the Tibetan Plateau.
