Abstract
AWZ1066S has been developed as a potential treatment for the neglected tropical diseases lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis. AWZ1066S targets the Wolbachia bacterial endosymbiont present in the causative nematode parasites. This phase 1, first-in-human study aimed to assess the safety and pharmacokinetics of AWZ1066S in healthy human participants. In a randomized double-blind, placebo-controlled, single ascending dose study, healthy adults received a single oral dose of AWZ1066S (or placebo) and were followed up for 10 days. The planned single doses of AWZ1066S ranged from 100 to 1600 mg, and each dose was administered to a cohort of 8 participants (6 AWZ1066S and 2 placebo). In total 30 people participated, 18 (60%) female, median age 30.0 years (minimum 20, maximum 61). The cohorts administered 100, 200, 300, and 400 mg of AWZ1066S progressed unremarkably. After single 700-mg doses all 4 participants developed symptoms of acute gastritis and transient increases in liver enzymes. The severity of these adverse events ranged from mild to severe, with 1 participant needing hospital admission. Pharmacokinetic analysis indicated that AWZ1066S is rapidly absorbed with predictable pharmacokinetics. In conclusion, safety concerns prevented this study from reaching the human exposures needed for AWZ1066S to be clinically effective against lymphatic filariasis and onchocerciasis.

Correction of creatine-creatinine conversion during serum creatinine quantification by two-dimensional liquid chromatography and double-spike isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry. Clin Chim Acta 2024; 554:117778. [PMID: 38220136 DOI: 10.1016/j.cca.2024.117778] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/12/2023] [Revised: 01/08/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/16/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND AND AIMS Development of a candidate reference method based on bidimensional liquid chromatography coupled to ESI-MS/MS and double spike isotope dilution for serum creatinine quantification capable of correcting for creatinine-creatine interconversion during sample pretreatment. Study of the impact of the creatine-creatinine interconversion during the analysis of human serum samples. MATERIALS AND METHODS 13C1-creatinine and 13C2-creatine are added to the serum sample. Separation carried out by bidimensional liquid chromatography combining reversed phase and a strong cation exchange chromatography. The heart cut, containing creatine and creatinine, is automatically transferred to the second dimension. Quantification carried out by double spike isotope dilution tandem MS/MS. RESULTS Minimization of spectral interferences and ion suppression due to matrix effects while increasing sample throughput compared to the direct coupling of cation exchange chromatography to the ESI source. Trueness of the method studied with the satisfactory analysis of two certified reference materials. Satisfactory intra- and inter-day precisions obtained analysing a serum pool and control sera. Analysis of 93 serum samples revealed negligible interconversions with no correlation with creatine levels. CONCLUSIONS The method provides adequate analytical figures of merit for serum creatinine determination according to CSLI guidelines. Negligible creatine-creatinine interconversion is promoted with the applied sample preparation procedure.

Therapeutic drug monitoring of glycopeptide antimicrobials: An overview of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods. J Mass Spectrom Adv Clin Lab 2024; 31:33-39.

Abstract
Therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is a critical clinical tool used to optimize the safety and effectiveness of drugs by measuring their concentration in biological fluids. These fluids are primarily plasma or blood. TDM, together with real-time dosage adjustment, contributes highly to the successful management of glycopeptide antimicrobial therapies. Understanding pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) properties is vital for optimizing antimicrobial therapies, as the efficacy of these therapies depends on both the exposure of the patient to the drug (PK) and pharmacodynamic (PD) parameters such as the in vitro estimated minimum drug concentration that inhibits bacterial growth (MIC). Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is widely recognized as the gold standard for measuring small molecules, such as antibiotics. This review provides a comprehensive overview of LC-MS/MS methods available for TDM of glycopeptide antibiotics, including vancomycin, teicoplanin, dalbavancin, oritavancin, and telavancin.

Abstract
Immunocapture is now a well-established method for sample preparation prior to quantitation of peptides and proteins in complex matrices. This short review will give an overview of some clinical applications of immunocapture methods, as well as protocols with and without enzymatic digestion in a clinical context. The advantages and limitations of both approaches are discussed in detail. Challenges related to the choice of mass spectrometer are also discussed. Top-down, middle-down, and bottom-up approaches are discussed. Even though immunocapture has its limitations, its main advantage is that it provides an additional dimension of separation and/or isolation when working with peptides and proteins. Overall, this short review demonstrates the potential of such techniques in the field of proteomics-based clinical medicine and paves the way for better personalized medicine.

Abstract
This work presents the evaluation of one- and two-dimensional liquid chromatography for the quantification of three stroke outcome predictors in plasma. Isotopically labelled analogues of L-arginine (L-Arg), asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) and symmetric dimethylarginine (SDMA) are used to quantify the three analytes by isotope dilution and tandem mass spectrometry. Chromatographic isotope effects were not observed between natural L-Arg and its 15N-labelled analogue but they were observed between natural ADMA and SDMA and their multiple deuterated analogues. Under these conditions, bidimensional chromatography through the use of an automated multiple heart cutting mode provided unsatisfactory results for ADMA and SDMA due to the different amounts of natural and labelled compounds transferred from the first to the second chromatographic dimension. In contrast, using one dimensional liquid chromatography after a derivatization step to esterify carboxylic groups, chromatographic isotope effects did not alter the initial mass balance as full coelution of natural and labelled analogues or baseline resolution between the analytes was not required. This method was successfully validated following the Clinical & Laboratory Standards Institute guidelines and applied to the analysis of plasma samples from patients who had suffered from an intraparenchymal haemorrhagic stroke.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry is a technique that identifies analytes based on mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio and structural fragments. Although this technique has been used in research and specialized clinical laboratories for decades, only in recent years has mass spectrometry become popular in routine clinical laboratories. Mass spectrometry, especially when coupled with gas chromatography or liquid chromatography, provides very specific and often sensitive analysis of many analytes. Other advantages of mass spectrometry include simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes (>100) and generally limited requirement for specialized reagents. Commonly measured analytes by mass spectrometry include metabolites, drugs, hormones, and proteins.

Evaluation of multiple reaction monitoring cubed performed by a quadrupole-linear ion trap mass spectrometer for quantitative determination of 6-sulfatoxymelatonin in urine. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2022; 1190:123094.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography (LC) - mass spectrometry quantitative analysis of substances in biological samples is usually performed in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) variant. In complex biological matrices, strong interferences can be observed when using the LC-MRM method. Interference levels can be significantly reduced by using LC - multiple reaction monitoring cubed (MRM3). 6-sulfatoxymelatonin (6-SM) is a metabolite of melatonin, an important regulator of many biological processes. The quantitative analysis of 6-SM in urine allows monitoring of the melatonin level in the blood. The aim of the present work was to evaluate the LC-MRM3 method for the quantitative determination of 6-SM in urine. We found that for 6-SM in aqueous solutions, under some parameters of the MRM3 experiment, the effect of degradation of the MRM3 signal is observed. When analyzing 6-SM in urine, this signal degradation effect was significantly reduced. We have shown that optimization of such parameters of the MRM3 method as the linear ion trap fill time, the number of scans to sum, and the range of triple-stage scan allows obtaining the LC-MRM3 method, which is comparable to the LC-MRM in sensitivity and significantly exceeds it in selectivity.

Abstract
We evaluate here the combination of two-dimensional liquid chromatography (2D-LC) in the multiple heart cutting mode and isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry for the direct analysis of tryptic digests of serum samples. As a proof of concept, we attempt the quantification of proteotypic peptides of Apolipoprotein AIV (APOA4), Complement C3 (C3) and Vitronectin (VTN) which have been previously identified as potential candidate biomarkers of glaucoma. Using this 2D-LC strategy, analyte enrichment steps are avoided and the sample preparation involved after enzymatic digestion amounted to a simple centrifugation, evaporation of the supernatant and reconstitution in the 1D mobile phase. A mobile phase not compatible with the ESI source (10 mM KH2PO4 at pH 2.7) was used in the first dimension as it provided a satisfactory chromatographic resolution of the peptides and a high buffering capacity avoiding changes in retention times when analyzing complex matrices like human serum. We also demonstrate that using coeluting labelled analogues of the target peptides, protein concentrations were not affected by slight retention time shifts affecting the amount of target peptides transferred to the second dimension. Satisfactory results were obtained when analyzing fortified serum samples (recoveries from 98 to 113%). Precisions in the range of 1-9% RSD were obtained when replicating the analysis of a pooled serum sample. The comparative analysis of serum samples from n = 94 control subjects and n = 91 patients diagnosed with primary open-angle glaucoma did not show significant differences in the APOA4, VTN and C3 concentrations in contrast with previous studies using immunoassays.

Abstract
Design of experiments (DoE) is a valuable tool for the optimization of quantitative bioanalytical methods utilizing liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Liquid chromatography mass spectrometry (LC-MS) is composed of several processes, including, liquid introduction and analyte ionization. The goal is to transfer analytes from atmospheric pressure to vacuum and maintain conditions that are compatible for both LC and MS. These processes involve many experimental factors which need to be simultaneously optimized to obtain maximum sensitivity and resolution at minimum retention time. In this tutorial, the basic concepts of DoE will be explained with focus on practical use of DoE. Three case studies optimized with DoE for liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) quantitative assays will then be presented.

Abstract
High-resolution mass spectrometry is a powerful tool in clinical analysis but remains less explored due to its lower dynamic range and sensitivity compared to triple quadrupoles. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) is the current gold standard biomarker to monitor the control of diabetes, representing long-term plasma glycemic levels. Due to its clinical importance, several methods have been developed for HbA1c quantification, using different principles; however, the results obtained with these techniques may differ according to the method adopted. Hence, there is a great need to standardize the current methods to quantify glycated hemoglobin. A new UPLC-QToF-MS method was fully validated and tested to quantify HbA1c in human samples. The peptides VHLTPE m/z 695.373 and gly-VHLTPE m/z 857.426, obtained via Glu-C digestion, were the selected peptides for quantification of HbA1c (mmol/mol). Chromatographic separation was obtained in a C18 column, maintained at 40 °C. The mobile phase was composed of water and acetonitrile, both containing 0.02% TFA and 0.1% acetic acid, and eluted in gradient mode. The method was fully validated, being considered linear in the range of 25-107 mmol/mol of HbA1c, and was sensitive, selective, precise, accurate, and free of matrix and carryover effects. The method was successfully applied to real samples, reaching about 90% agreement with reference method results, providing accurate and precise information on peptide mass, without laborious sample preparation. These results support the use of HRMS to improve the quality of quantitative results of HbA1c in health services and demonstrate a possible application of peptide investigation for clinical analysis in the near future.

Abstract
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a frequent complication of sepsis and contributes to increased mortality. Discovery of reliable biomarkers could enable identification of individuals with high AKI risk as well as early AKI detection and AKI progression monitoring. However, the current methods are insensitive and non-specific. This study aimed to identify new biomarkers through label-free mass spectrometry (MS) analysis of a sepsis model induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP). Urine samples were collected from septic rats at 0, 3, 6, 12, 24, and 48 h. Protein isolated from urine was subjected to MS. Immunoregulatory biological processes, including immunoglobin production and wounding and defense responses, were upregulated at early time points. Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway enrichment analyses identified 77 significantly changed pathways. We further examined the consistently differentially expressed proteins to seek biomarkers that can be used for early diagnosis. Notably, the expression of PARK7 and CDH16 were changed in a continuous manner and related to the level of Scr in urine from patients. Therefore, PARK7 and CDH16 were confirmed to be novel biomarkers after validation in sepsis human patients. In summary, our study analyzed the proteomics of AKI at multiple time points, elucidated the related biological processes, and identified novel biomarkers for early diagnosis of sepsis-induced AKI, and our findings provide a theoretical basis for further research on the molecular mechanisms.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2019; 33:1792-1803. [PMID: 31351020 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.8540] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.2] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2019] [Revised: 07/19/2019] [Accepted: 07/20/2019] [Indexed: 06/10/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE Novel bifunctional compounds composed of a caffeine scaffold attached to nicotine (C8 -6-N), 1-aminoindan (C8 -6-I), or caffeine (C8 -6-C8 ) were designed as therapeutics or diagnostics for Parkinson's disease (PD). In order to probe their pharmacological and toxicological profile, an appropriate analytical method is required. The goal of this study is to establish a tandem mass spectrometric fingerprint for the development of quantitative and qualitative methods that will aid future assessment of the in vitro and in vivo absorption, distribution, metabolism, excretion (ADME) and pharmacokinetic properties of these lead bifunctional compounds for PD. METHODS Accurate mass measurement was performed using a hybrid quadrupole orthogonal time-of-flight mass spectrometer while multistage MS/MS and MS3 analyses were conducted using a triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometer. Both instruments are equipped with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source and were operated in the positive ion mode. The source and compound parameters were optimized for all three tested bifunctional compounds. RESULTS The MS/MS analysis indicates that the fragmentation of C8 -6-N and C8 -6-I is driven by the dissociation of the nicotine and 1-aminoindan moieties, respectively, but not caffeine. A significant observation in the MS/MS fragmentation of C8 -6-C8 suggests that a previously reported loss of acetaldehyde during caffeine dissociation is instead a loss of CO2 . CONCLUSIONS The collision-induced tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS/MS) analysis of these novel bifunctional compounds revealed compound-specific diagnostic product ions and neutral losses for all three tested bifunctional compounds. The established MS/MS fingerprint will be applied to the future development of qualitative and quantitative methods.

Abstract
Since ambient mass spectrometry (AMS) has been proven to have low matrix effects and high salt tolerance, great efforts have been made for online coupling of several analytical techniques with AMS. These analytical techniques include gas chromatography (GC), liquid chromatography (LC), capillary electrophoresis (CE), surface plasmon resonance (SPR), and electrochemistry flow cells. Various ambient ionization sources, represented by desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) and direct analysis in real time (DART), have been utilized as interfaces for the online coupling techniques. Herein, we summarized the advances in these online coupling methods. Close attention has been paid to different interface setups for coupling, as well as limits of detection, tolerance to different matrices, and applications of these new coupling techniques.

Abstract
Adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) deficiency is a hereditary disorder that leads to excessive urinary excretion of 2,8-dihydroxyadenine (DHA), causing nephrolithiasis and chronic kidney disease. Treatment with allopurinol or febuxostat reduces DHA production and attenuates the renal manifestations. Assessment of DHA crystalluria by urine microscopy is used for therapeutic monitoring, but lacks sensitivity. We report a high-throughput assay based on ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) for quantification of urinary DHA. The UPLC-MS/MS assay was optimized by a chemometric approach for absolute quantification of DHA, utilizing isotopically labeled DHA as an internal standard. Experimental screening was conducted with D-optimal design and optimization of the DHA response was performed with central composite face design and related to the peak area of DHA using partial least square regression. Acceptable precision and accuracy of the DHA concentration were obtained over a calibration range of 100 to 5000ng/mL on three different days. The intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision coefficients of variation were well within ±15% for quality control samples analyzed in replicates of six at three concentration levels. Absolute quantification of DHA in urine samples from patients with APRT deficiency was achieved wihtin 6.5min. Measurement of DHA in 24h urine samples from three patients with APRT deficiency, diluted 1:15 (v/v) with 10mM ammonium hydroxide (NH4OH), yielded a concentration of 3021, 5860 and 10563ng/mL and 24h excretion of 816, 1327 and 1649mg, respectively. A rapid and robust UPLC-MS/MS assay for absolute quantification of DHA in urine was successfully developed. We believe this method will greatly facilitate diagnosis and management of patients with APRT deficiency.

Abstract
AIM The non-nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor efavirenz is one of the most prescribed antiretroviral therapeutics. Efavirenz-containing therapy has become associated with the occurrence of CNS side effects, including sleep disturbances, depression and even psychosis. RESULTS The investigation of efavirenz distribution required the development of a versatile and sensitive method. In addition to plasma, quantification was required in brain tissue and phosphate-buffered saline. The assay presented here was linear from 1.9 to 500 ng/ml. Accuracy and precision ranged between 93.7 and 99.5%, and 1.5 and 5.6%, respectively. DISCUSSION The method developed here represents a versatile, sensitive and easy-to-use assay. The assay has been applied to in vitro and in vivo samples demonstrating reliable efavirenz quantification in multiple matrices.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) is a technique that can identify analytes on the basis of mass-to-charge (m/z) ratio. Although this technique has been used in research and specialized clinical laboratories for decades, however, in recent years, MS has been increasingly used in routine clinical laboratories. MS, especially when coupled to gas chromatography or liquid chromatography, provides very specific and often sensitive analysis of many analytes. Other advantages of MS include simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes (>100) and generally without need for specialized reagents. Commonly measured analytes by MS include drugs, hormones, and proteins.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) has been used in research and specialized clinical laboratories for decades as a very powerful technology to identify and quantify compounds. In recent years, application of MS in routine clinical laboratories has increased significantly. This is mainly due to the ability of MS to provide very specific identification, high sensitivity, and simultaneous analysis of multiple analytes (>100). The coupling of tandem mass spectrometry with gas chromatography (GC) or liquid chromatography (LC) has enabled the rapid expansion of this technology. While applications of MS are used in many clinical areas, therapeutic drug monitoring, drugs of abuse, and clinical toxicology are still the primary focuses of the field. It is not uncommon to see mass spectrometry being used in routine clinical practices for those applications.

Abstract
Burn injury is a prevalent and traumatic event for pediatric patients. At present, the diagnosis of burn injury severity is subjective and lacks a clinically relevant quantitative measure. This is due in part to a lack of knowledge surrounding the biochemistry of burn injuries and that of blister fluid. A more complete understanding of the blister fluid biochemistry may open new avenues for diagnostic and prognostic development. Burn insult induces a highly complex network of signaling processes and numerous changes within various biochemical systems, which can ultimately be examined using proteome and metabolome measurements. This review reports on the current understanding of burn wound biochemistry and outlines a technical approach for 'omics' profiling of blister fluid from burn wounds of differing severity.

Abstract
1. Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI MSI) combines the sensitivity and selectivity of mass spectrometry with spatial analysis to provide a new dimension for histological analyses of the distribution of drugs in tissue. Pretomanid is a pro-drug belonging to a class of antibiotics known as nitroimidizoles, which have been proven to be active under hypoxic conditions and to the best of our knowledge there have been no studies investigating the distribution and localisation of this class of compounds in the brain using MALDI MSI. 2. Herein, we report on the distribution of pretomanid in the healthy rat brain after intraperitoneal administration (20 mg/kg) using MALDI MSI. Our findings showed that the drug localises in specific compartments of the rat brain viz. the corpus callosum, a dense network of neurons connecting left and right cerebral hemispheres. 3. This study proves that MALDI MSI technique has great potential for mapping the pretomanid distribution in uninfected tissue samples, without the need for molecular labelling.

Abstract
Atmospheric pressure photoionization (APPI) is a technique of choice for ionization of non-polar molecules in mass spectrometry (MS). Reported APPI-based studies tend to focus on a selected compound class, which may contain a variety of functional groups. These studies demonstrate that APPI response frequently differs substantially, indicating a certain dependence on the functional group present. Although this dependence could be employed for APPI response prediction, its systematic use is currently absent. Here, we apply APPI MS to a judiciously-compiled set of 63 compounds containing a number of diverse functional groups commonly utilized in synthesis, reactive functional groups, as well as those containing boron and silicon. Based on the outcome of APPI MS of these compounds, we propose and evaluate a simple guideline to estimate the APPI response for a novel compound, the key properties of which have not been characterized in the gas phase. Briefly, we first identify key functional groups in the compound and gather knowledge on the known ionization energies from the smallest analogues containing said functional groups. We then consider local inductive and resonance effects on said ionization energies for the compounds of interest to estimate the APPI response. Finally, application of APPI MS to compounds of interest considered herein demonstrated extended upper mass ionization limit of 3.5 kDa for non-polymeric compounds.

Abstract
Abstract
BACKGROUND
LC-MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) is a powerful tool for quantifying target analytes in complex matrices. However, the technique lacks selectivity when plasma free metanephrines are measured. We propose the use of multistage fragmentation (MRM3) to improve the analytical selectivity of plasma free metanephrine measurement.
METHODS
Metanephrines were extracted from plasma with weak cation exchange solid-phase extraction before separation by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. We quantified normetanephrine and metanephrine by either MRM or MRM3 transitions m/z 166→134→79 and m/z 180→149→121, respectively.
RESULTS
Over a 6-month period, approximately 1% (n = 21) of patient samples showed uncharacterized coeluting substances that interfered with the routine assay, resulting in an inability to report results. Quantification with MRM3 removed these interferences and enabled measurement of the target compounds. For patient samples unaffected by interferences, Deming regression analysis demonstrated a correlation between MRM3 and MRM methods of y = 1.00x − 0.00 nmol/L for normetanephrine and y = 0.99x + 0.03 nmol/L for metanephrine. Between the MRM3 method and the median of all LC-MS/MS laboratories enrolled in a quality assurance program, the correlations were y = 0.97x + 0.03 nmol/L for normetanephrine and y = 1.03x − 0.04 nmol/L for metanephrine. Imprecision for the MRM3 method was 6.2%–7.0% for normetanephrine and 6.1%–9.9% for metanephrine (n = 10). The lower limits of quantification for the MRM3 method were 0.20 nmol/L for normetanephrine and 0.16 nmol/L for metanephrine.
CONCLUSIONS
The use of MRM3 technology improves the analytical selectivity of plasma free metanephrine quantification by LC-MS/MS while demonstrating sufficient analytical sensitivity and imprecision.

Abstract
There is a growing concern for the sensitive quantification of multiple components using advanced data acquisition method in herbal medicines (HMs). An improved and rugged UPLC-MS/MS method has been developed and validated for sensitive and rapid determination of multiply analytes from Tong-Xie-Yao-Fang (TXYF) decoction in three biological matrices (plasma/brain tissue/urine) using geniposide and formononetin as internal standards. After solid-phase extraction, chromatographic separation was performed on a C18 column using gradient elution. Quantifier and qualifier transitions were monitored using novel Triggered Dynamic multiple reaction monitoring (TdMRM) in the positive ionization mode. A significant peak symmetry and sensitivity improvement in the TdMRM mode was achieved as compared to conventional MRM. The reproducibility (RSD%) was ≤7.9% by applying TdMRM transition while the values were 6.8-20.6% for MRM. Excellent linear calibration curves were obtained under TdMRM transitions over the tested concentration ranges. Intra- and inter-day precisions (RSD%) were ≤14.2% and accuracies (RE%) ranged from -9.6% to 10.6%. The validation data of specificity, carryover, recovery, matrix effect and stability were within the required limits. The method was effectively applied to simultaneously detect and quantify 1 lactone, 2 monoterpene glucosides, 1 alkaloid, 5 flavonoids and 2 chromones in plasma, brain tissue and urine after oral administration of TXYF decoction. In conclusion, this new and reliable method is beneficial for quantification and confirmation assays of multiply components in complex biological samples.

Androgen glucuronides analysis by liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry: could it raise new perspectives in the diagnostic field of hormone-dependent malignancies?

Abstract
Breast and prostate constitute organs of intense steroidogenic activity. Clinical and epidemiologic data provide strong evidence on the influence of androgens and estrogens on the risk of typical hormone-dependent malignancies, like breast and prostate cancer. Recent studies have focused on the role of androgen metabolites in regulating androgen concentrations in hormone-sensitive tissues. Steroid glucuronidation has been suggested to have a prominent role in controlling the levels and the biological activity of unconjugated androgens. It is well-established that serum levels of androgen glucuronides reflect androgen metabolism in androgen-sensitive tissues. Quantitative analysis of androgen metabolites in blood specimens is the only minimally invasive approach permitting an accurate estimate of the total pool of androgens. During the past years, androgen glucuronides analysis most often involved radioimmunoassays (RIA) or direct immunoassays, both methods bearing serious limitations. However, recent impressive technical advances in mass spectrometry, and particularly in high performance liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), have overcome these drawbacks enabling the simultaneous, quantitative analysis of multiple steroids even at low concentrations. Blood androgen profiling by LC-MS/MS, a robust and reliable technique of high selectivity, sensitivity, specificity, precision and accuracy emerges as a promising new approach in the study of human pathology. The present review offers a contemporary insight in androgen glucuronides profiling through the application of LC-MS/MS, highlighting new perspectives in the study of steroids and their implication in hormone-dependent malignancies.

Abstract
RATIONALE Analysis of drugs in wastewater is gaining more interest, as new approaches to estimate drug consumption from the amount of drug residues in wastewater have been proposed. The aim of this study was to compare the quantitative performance of high-resolution mass spectrometry with that of triple quadrupole mass spectrometry. METHODS A Q-Exactive mass spectrometer was operated in full scan (HRFS) (70 000 FWHM) and product scan (HRPS) (17 500 FWHM) modes. The first and third quadrupoles of the QqQ MS/MS instrument were operated at 0.7 FWHM. A mass-extracted window of 5 ppm around the theoretical m/z of each analyte was used to construct chromatograms. An HESI-II ion source was used for the ionization of target compounds. In-line-SPE-LC configuration was used for the extraction and separation of target analytes. RESULTS All three methods showed good linearity and repeatability. High-resolution detection of product ions exhibited better sensitivity and selectivity for some compounds. For most of the tested compounds, LOQs ranged from 0.46 to 20 ng L(-1) . Good agreement between measured and nominal concentrations was observed for most of the compounds at different levels of fortification. Both MS/MS methods showed good selectivity, while HRFS gave some false positive results. CONCLUSIONS The Q-Exactive mass spectrometer proved to be suitable for trace detection and quantification of most of the tested drugs in wastewater, with performance comparable to that of the commonly used MS/MS triple quadrupole, but with better selectivity.

Abstract
Compound identification in mass spectrometry based metabolomics can be a problem but sometimes the problem seems to be presented in an over complicated way. The current review focuses on metazoans where the range of metabolites is more restricted than for example in plants. The focus is on liquid chromatography with high resolution mass spectrometry where it is proposed that most of the problems in compound identification relate to structural isomers rather than to isobaric compounds. Thus many of the problems faced relate to separation of isomers, which is usually required even if fragmentation is used to support structural identification. Many papers report the use of MS/MS or MS2 as an adjunct to the identification of known metabolites but there a few examples in metabolomics studies of metazoans of complete structure elucidation of novel metabolites or metabolites where no authentic standards are available for comparison.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry methods have the potential to measure different hormones during the same analysis and have improved specificity and a wide analytical range compared with many immunoassay methods. Increasingly in clinical laboratories liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) assays are replacing immunoassays for the routine measurement of testosterone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, and other steroid hormones. Reference LC-MS/MS methods for steroid, thyroid, and peptide hormones are being used for assessment of the performance and calibration of commercial immunoassays. In this chapter, the general principles of tandem mass spectrometry and examples of hormone assays are described.

Abstract
For the last decade, high-resolution (HR)-MS has been associated with qualitative analyses while triple quadrupole MS has been associated with routine quantitative analyses. However, a shift of this paradigm is taking place: quantitative and qualitative analyses will be increasingly performed by HR-MS, and it will become the common ‘language’ for most mass spectrometrists. Most analyses will be performed by full-scan acquisitions recording ‘all’ ions entering the HR-MS with subsequent construction of narrow-width extracted-ion chromatograms. Ions will be available for absolute quantification, profiling and data mining. In parallel to quantification, metabotyping will be the next step in clinical LC–MS analyses because it should help in personalized medicine. This article is aimed to help analytical chemists who perform targeted quantitative acquisitions with triple quadrupole MS make the transition to quantitative and qualitative analyses using HR-MS. Guidelines for the acceptance criteria of mass accuracy and for the determination of mass extraction windows in quantitative analyses are proposed.
