Wang Y, Zhao B, Dang X, Kong LF, Geng YC, He P, Li ZY, Mao YH, Tie C. A novel SPE-LC-MRM strategy for serum demethylzeylasteral quantitation developed with an 18O-labeled internal standard. Anal Bioanal Chem 2024; 416:467-474. [PMID: 37993551 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-023-05049-z] [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: 09/18/2023] [Revised: 11/02/2023] [Accepted: 11/09/2023] [Indexed: 11/24/2023]
Abstract
Natural bioactive compounds (NBCs) are widely used in clinical treatment. For example, Tripterygium wilfordii Hook f. is commonly known in China as Lei-Gong-Teng which means thunder god vine. This herb is widely distributed in Eastern and Southern China, Korea, and Japan. The natural bioactive compounds of this herb can be extracted and made into tripterygium glycoside tablets. It is one of the most commonly used and effective traditional Chinese herbal medicines against rheumatoid arthritis (RA), nephrotic syndrome (NS), autoimmune hepatis (AIH), and so on. However, many NBCs are difficult to reliably quantify in the serum due to the effects of matrix and RSD. In addition, the targeted compound's internal standard (IS) is rarely sold due to the complex isotope internal standard synthesis pathway. In this study, a new quantitation method for 18O labeling combined with off-line SPE was formulated. We contrasted the recoveries and matrix effects of various separation methods in order to choose the best method. Furthermore, we optimized the conditions for SPE loading and washing. An isotopic internal standard was prepared by the 16O/18O exchanging reaction in order to eliminate the matrix effects. The method's accuracy and precision met the requirements for method validation. The recovery of this method was close to 60%. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of the high-concentration sample was 2%, and the limit of detection (LOD) was 1 ng/mL. This method could be used to analyze the clinical serum concentration of demethylzeylasteral. Sixty samples were collected from 10 patients with diabetes nephropathy. The quantitation results of demethylzeylasteral in patients' serum obtained using this method exhibited a correlation between therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and decreased urinary protein. This work may have broad implications for the study of drug metabolism in vivo and the clinical application of low-abundance and difficult-to-quantify NBCs.

Abstract
Fritillaria naturally grows in the temperate region of Northern Hemisphere and mainly distributes in Central Asia, Mediterranean region, and North America. The dried bulbs from a dozen species of this genus have been usually used as herbal medicine, named Beimu in China. Beimu had rich sources of phytochemicals and have extensively applied to respiratory diseases including coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Fritillaria species have alkaloids that act as the main active components that contribute multiple biological activities, including anti-tussive, expectorant, and anti-asthmatic effects, especially against certain respiratory diseases. Other compounds (terpenoids, steroidal saponins, and phenylpropanoids) have also been identified in species of Fritillaria. In this review, readers will discover a brief summary of traditional uses and a comprehensive description of the chemical profiles, biological properties, and analytical techniques used for quality control. In general, the detailed summary reveals 293 specialized metabolites that have been isolated and analyzed in Fritillaria species. This review may provide a scientific basis for the chemical ecology and metabolomics in which compound identification of certain species remains a limiting step.

Abstract
Quantitative screening for potential drug-protein binding is an essential step in developing novel metal-based anticancer drugs. ICP-MS approaches are at the core of this task; however, many applications lack in the capability of large-scale high-throughput screenings and proper validation. In this work, we critically discuss the analytical figures of merit and the potential method-based quantitative differences applying four different ICP-MS strategies to ex vivo drug-serum incubations. Two candidate drugs, more specifically, two Pt(IV) complexes with known differences of binding affinity towards serum proteins were selected. The study integrated centrifugal ultrafiltration followed by flow injection analysis, turbulent flow chromatography (TFC), and size exclusion chromatography (SEC), all combined with inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP-MS). As a novelty, for the first time, UHPLC SEC-ICP-MS was implemented to enable rapid protein separation to be performed within a few minutes at > 90% column recovery for protein adducts and small molecules.

Abstract
Conessine, a steroidal alkaloid obtained from the bark and seeds of the plant species of Apocynaceae family, elicits a histamine antagonistic action, selectively for the H3 histaminergic receptors. This alkaloid is used mainly for the treatment of dysentery and helminthic disorders. For the quantification of conessine in serum, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method was developed. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Zorbax SB-CN column (100 × 4.6 mm, 3.5 µm), and a mobile phase consisting of 90% methanol in aqueous ammonium acetate buffer (pH 3.5) with 0.1% (v/v) formic acid at an isocratic flow rate of 0.6 ml/min at 40℃ provides efficiency in separation. A volume of 40 µl was injected each time and the run time for each sample was 5 min. Phenacetin (internal standard) was added to 50 µl of serum sample prior to liquid-liquid extraction using 3% isopropanol in n-hexane. The detection was performed on a 5500 QTRAP mass spectrometer by multiple reaction monitoring mode via electrospray ionization source. The multiple reaction monitoring of conessine and IS was m/ z 357.4 to m/ z 312.1 and m/ z 180.1 to m/ z 138.1, respectively. The method that showed selectivity and linearity in the range of 1-200 ng/ml was validated in terms of sensitivity, accuracy, precision and stability. The detection and quantitation limits were recognized at 0.1 and 1 ng/ml, respectively. The intra- and inter-day precision and accuracy fulfils the acceptance criteria. Applying the method to the pharmacokinetic studies in rats, conessine showed a peak serum concentration at 2 h post oral dose with a good bioavailability of 71.28 ± 4.65%.

Abstract
Biological sample pretreatment is an important step in biological sample analysis. Due to the diversity of biological matrices, the analysis of target substances in these samples presents significant challenges to sample processing. To meet these emerging demands on biopharmaceutical analysis, this paper summarizes several new techniques of on-line biological sample processing: solid phase extraction, solid phase micro-extraction, column switching, limited intake filler, molecularly imprinted solid phase extraction, tubular column, and micro-dialysis. We describe new developments, principles, and characteristics of these techniques, and the application of liquid chromatography–mass spectrometry (LC–MS) in biopharmaceutical analysis with these new techniques in on-line biological sample processing.

Abstract
A simple and rapid method is described for the determination of veterinary drug (VD) residues in honey samples using turbulent flow chromatography coupled to ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (TFC-UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS). Honey samples were diluted with an aqueous solution of Na(2)EDTA (0.1 M). Then, they were injected into the chromatographic system including a TFC column. Afterward, the analytes were transferred to an UHPLC analytical column, where they were determined by UHPLC-Orbitrap-MS. Mean recoveries were obtained at three concentration levels (5, 10, and 50 μg/kg), ranging from 68 to 121% for most compounds. Repeatability (intraday precision) and interday precision (expressed as relative standard deviation, RSD) were <25% for most compounds. Limits of quantification (LOQs) ranged from 5 to 50 μg/kg and limits of identification (LOIs) from 0.1 to 50 μg/kg. The developed method was applied in honey samples, and it was fast and nonlaborious.

Abstract
ETHNOPHARMACOLOGICAL RELEVANCE Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. has been traditionally used in China as antitussive and expectorant herbs, and newly used in the clinical treatment of leukemia in recent years. AIM To investigate whether gender exerted a significant influence on the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and excretion of peimine and peiminine in Sprague-Dawley rats who were given a single oral administration of 4.25 g/kg Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. extract. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sprague-Dawley rats were assigned into two groups based on the gender and orally administered 4.25 g/kg Fritillaria thunbergii Miq. extract for each individual pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and excretion study. RESULTS Compared with female rats, peimine and peiminine were eliminated slowly from male rat plasma, and significant gender-related differences were observed in the pharmacokinetic parameters. Drug blood and tissue levels in male rats were significantly higher than the female counterparts except for several tissues, such as fat, muscle and skin. Gender also exerted a significant influence on the urine excretion but such effect was not observed in the feces excretion study. CONCLUSIONS Gender exerted a significant influence on the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution and urine excretion of peimine and peiminine. It is assumed that the sex-associated differences of peimine and peiminine in rats might be mainly result from sex-dependent expression and activity of drug metabolism enzymes and P-glycoprotein.

Abstract
The development of bioanalytical methods has become more and more challenging over the past years due to very demanding requirements in terms of method reliability, sensitivity, speed of analysis and sample throughput. LC-MS/MS has established itself as a method of choice for routine analysis of biological materials. A development of such method consists of several steps including sample preparation and clean-up step, efficient chromatographic separation, sensitive and selective detection of analytes in complex matrices, a choice of convenient data processing and calibration approach and finally method validation. Each of these steps has its own constraints and challenges, which are discussed in detail in this review. Novel and modern approaches in sample preparation, chromatography and detection are especially emphasized. Attention is paid to proper calibration approach and matrix effects that can seriously affect method accuracy and precision.

Abstract
Sample pretreatment is a key step in bioanalytical process because of possible interference and matrix effects in mass spectrometry analysis. In this work, a novel strategy towards high speed and sensitivity was developed combining in vivo microdialysis (MD) sampling, turbulent-flow chromatography (TFC), and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). The procedures of cleanup, preconcentration, and separation were completed on-line in one step within 10min. During the MD optimization procedure, 1% hydroxypropyl-β-cyclodextrin (HP-β-CD) was used to improve the relative recovery of the analyte. Untreated MD samples were directly injected, and a TFC precolumn was flushed for 1min with aqueous phase of 4mL/min flow rate to desalt and concentrate biosamples. The retained analytes were then back-flushed by a switching valve onto a fast LC column (4.6mm×50mm, 1.8μm) for separation. Another diverter valve was employed to prevent the HP-β-CD that interferes with the ESI process from entering the MS. Puqietinone, a lipophilic alkaloid from Fritillaria puqiensis, was used as a case for validation. Results showed that the limit of quantification for puqietinone was 0.10ng/mL, and good linearity (R(2)=0.9993) was maintained over the range of 1.02-200.02ng/mL. Accuracy and precision were satisfactory within the range of the standard curve. This approach was able to effectively eliminate the influences of matrix effect and carry-over as the injection volume increased up to 20μL. The developed method was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic study of puqietinone after intravenous administration to rat. Results demonstrate the potential of using MD with TFC-LC/MS for in vivo monitoring experiments.

Abstract
Column switching techniques, using two or more stationary phase columns, are useful for trace enrichment and online automated sample preparation. Target fractions from the first column are transferred online to a second column with different properties for further separation. Column switching techniques can be used to determine the analytes in a complex matrix by direct sample injection or by simple sample treatment. Online column switching sample preparation is usually performed in combination with HPLC or capillary electrophoresis. SPE or turbulent flow chromatography using a cartridge column and in-tube solid-phase microextraction using a capillary column have been developed for convenient column switching sample preparation. Furthermore, various micro-/nano-sample preparation devices using new polymer-coating materials have been developed to improve extraction efficiency. This review describes current developments and future trends in novel column switching sample preparation in bioanalysis, focusing on innovative column switching techniques using new extraction devices and materials.

Abstract
In China, traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) have been used in clinical applications for thousands of years. The successful hyphenation of high-Performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and mass spectrometry (MS) has been applied widely in TCMs and biological samples analysis. Undoubtedly, HPLC/MS technique has facilitated the understanding of the treatment mechanism of TCMs. We reviewed more than 350 published papers within the last 5 years on HPLC/MS in the analysis of TCMs. The present review focused on the applications of HPLC/MS in the component analysis, metabolites analysis, and pharmacokinetics of TCMs etc. 50% of the literature is related to the component analysis of TCMs, which show that this field is the most populär type of research. In the metabolites analysis, HPLC coupled with electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry has been demonstrated to be the powerful tool for the characterization of structural features and fragmentation behavior patterns. This paper presented a brief overview of the applications of HPLC/MS in the analysis of TCMs. HPLC/MS in the fingerprint analysis is reviewed elsewhere.

Abstract
High-throughput analyses of a large number of samples for pharmacokinetic (PK) studies are essential in drug development. Analysis of drug candidates from blood using LC-ESI-MS generally requires separation of the plasma fraction followed by various offline sample preparation procedures. This step is a bottleneck that impedes throughput. In order to overcome this difficulty and accelerate analysis in PK and other studies, we developed an approach allowing the direct analysis of low volumes of whole blood (10 μL) after dilution and centrifugation. Samples were injected in an online-SPE-LC-ESI-MS/MS setup allowing a total run time of only 126 s for a full gradient separation. Analytes were extracted from the matrix within 30 s by turbulent flow chromatography. Subsequently, a full gradient separation was carried out within 1.5 minutes on a 50 × 2.1 mm (1.7 μm) RP-18 column and the analytes were sensitively detected by ESI-MS/MS in SRM mode. The performance of this new ultra fast online SPE-LC-ESI-MS/MS approach was demonstrated by the analysis of diclofenac (DCF), a widely used anti-inflammatory drug. DCF eluted at stable retention times (±0.33%) with narrow peak width (FWHM 3.3 ± 0.15 s). The method displays excellent analytical performance, with a limit of detection of 6 fmol on column, a linear range of over four orders of magnitude and a negligible carry over of 0.12 ± 0.03% for DCF. The PK profile of DCF administered by topical and intraperitoneal routes in rats and by oral route in one human volunteer is investigated using this method. Finally, general applicability of the approach for drugs is demonstrated by analysis of rofecoxib and several inhibitors of the soluble epoxide hydrolase. This new method requires only readily available, off the shelf standard LC instrumentation, and is compliant with the requirements of green analytical chemistry.

Abstract
With gaining popularity of herbal remedies worldwide, the need of assuring safety and efficacy of these products increases as well. By nature they are complex matrices, comprising a multitude of compounds, which are prone to variation due to environmental factors and manufacturing conditions. Furthermore, many traditional preparations compose of multiple herbs, so that only highly selective, sensitive and versatile analytical techniques will be suitable for quality control purposes. By hyphenating high performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry (LC-MS) these high demands are fulfilled, providing the user with a multitude of technical options and applications. This review intends to reflect the impact of LC-MS for medicinal plant analysis focusing on most relevant reports published within the last five years. Commenced by introductory remarks to the different MS approaches most commonly used (e.g. ion trap and time of flight mass analyzers, fragmentation and ionization modes), respective LC-MS applications on the analysis of natural products in medicinal plants, commercial products and biological samples are presented. Methodological aspects like stationary and mobile phase selection or MS settings are discussed, and advantages or limitations of the described techniques are highlighted.
