Abstract
T14, a 14mer peptide, is significantly increased in the pre-symptomatic Alzheimer's disease brain, and growing evidence implies its pivotal role in neurodegeneration. Here, we explore the subsequent intracellular events following binding of T14 to its target α7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (nAChR). Specifically, we test how various experimental manipulations of PC12 cells impact T14-induced functional outcomes. Three preparations were compared: (i) undifferentiated vs. NGF-differentiated cells; (ii) cells transfected with an overexpression of the target α7 nAChR vs. wild type cells; (iii) cells transfected with a mutant α7 nAChR containing a mutation in the G protein-binding cluster, vs. cells transfected with an overexpression of the target α7 nAChR, in three functional assays - calcium influx, cell viability, and acetylcholinesterase release. NGF-differentiated PC12 cells were less sensitive than undifferentiated cells to the concentration-dependent T14 treatment, in all the functional assays performed. The overexpression of α7 nAChR in PC12 cells promoted enhanced calcium influx when compared with the wild type PC12 cells. The α7345-348 A mutation effectively abolished the T14-triggered responses across all the readouts observed. The close relationship between T14 and the α7 nAChR was further evidenced in the more physiological preparation of ex vivo rat brain, where T30 increased α7 nAChR mRNA, and finally in human brain post-mortem, where levels of T14 and α7 nAChR exhibited a strong correlation, reflecting the progression of neurodegeneration. Taken together these data would make it hard to account for T14 binding to any other receptor, and thus interception at this binding site would make a very attractive and remarkably specific therapeutic strategy.

Pathak NK, Sahoo P, Tripathy U. Nonlinear study of indolamines: A hidden property that might have possible implications in neurodegeneration. Talanta 2024; 272:125808. [PMID: 38373364 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2024.125808] [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: 10/03/2023] [Revised: 02/13/2024] [Accepted: 02/14/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Indolamines (e.g., serotonin and melatonin) are tryptophan-derived class of neurotransmitters and neuromodulators that play crucial roles in mood regulation, sleep-wake cycles, and gastrointestinal functions. These biogenic amines exert their effects by binding to specific receptors in the central nervous system, influencing neuronal activity and signalling cascades. Indolamines are vital in maintaining homeostasis, and imbalances in their levels have been implicated in various neurological and psychiatric disorders. Hence, in the present study, we have investigated the nonlinear properties of indolamines under a continuous wave (CW) and pulsed laser excitation using the closed-aperture (CA) Z-scan technique. The CA Z-scan is a cost-effective and sensitive analytical tool for investigating nonlinear properties. It is observed that indolamines show negative refractive and positive absorptive nonlinearity under in vitro physiological conditions. The origin of nonlinearity is ascribed to the thermo-optical effect governed by the saturated atomic absorption and molecular orientation mechanisms under CW and pulsed laser excitation, respectively. The strength of nonlinearity is found to vary linearly with the concentration of indolamines. Overall, serotonin possesses stronger nonlinearity than melatonin. The maximum nonlinearity (refractive index (n2) & absorption coefficient (β)) for melatonin under CW and pulsed laser excitations are (-1.266 × 10-12 m2W-1 and -1.883 × 10-17 m2W-1) & (8.046 × 10-8 mW-1 and 1.516 × 10-13 mW-1), respectively. Meanwhile, the maximum n2 and β under pulsed laser excitation for serotonin are obtained as -3.195 × 10-17 m2W-1 and 6.149 × 10-12 mW-1, respectively. The outcome of the results may be utilized in understanding processes mediated by indolamines and designing therapeutic interventions.

Comprehensive profiling of amino acids and derivatives in biological samples: A robust UHPLC-MS/MS method for investigating acute lung injury. J Chromatogr A 2024; 1721:464816.

Abstract
The severe respiratory dysfunctions associated with acute lung injury (ALI) and its sequelae have a high morbidity and mortality rate, are multifactorial, and lack a viable treatment. Considering the critical function that amino acids and derivatives play in the genesis of illnesses and the regulation of metabolic processes, monitoring the levels of metabolites associated with amino acids in biological matrices is necessary and interesting to study their pathological mechanisms. Exploring the dynamics of amino acids and derivatives level and searching for biomarkers provides improved clinical ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of ALI. Therefore, we developed an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method that can simultaneously determine the amino acid and derivatives metabolic levels to study amino acid profiles in different biological samples to facilitate clinical research of ALI. In this study, 48 amino acids and derivatives, including neurotransmitters, polyamines, purines, and other types, were quantified simultaneously in a fast, high-throughput, sensitive, and reliable manner within a 15-minute run time without derivatization. No relevant studies have been reported to quantify these 48 amino acid metabolites in three biological samples simultaneously. Satisfactory linearity (R > 0.995), inter-day and intra-day accuracy (85.17-112.67 % and 85.29-111.60 %, respectively), inter-day and intra-day precision (RSD < 13.80 % and RSD < 12.01 %, respectively), matrix effects (81.00 %-118.00 %), recovery (85.09 %-114.65 %) and stability (RSD < 14.72 %) were all demonstrated by the optimized method's successful validation for all analytes. In addition, the suggested method was effectively implemented in plasma, urine, and lung tissue from normal mice and mice with ALI, with the aim of finding potential biomarkers associated with ALI. Potential biomarkers were screened through multivariate statistical analysis and volcanic map analysis, and the changes of markers in ALI were again identified through heat map analysis and correlation analysis with biochemical indicators, which provided ideas and references for subsequent mechanism studies. Here, the technique created in this work offers a quick and dependable way to perform an integrated analysis of amino acids in a variety of biological materials, which can provide research ideas for understanding the physiopathological state of various diseases.

Biomed Pharmacother 2023; 167:115498. [PMID: 37713989 DOI: 10.1016/j.biopha.2023.115498] [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: 07/20/2023] [Revised: 09/05/2023] [Accepted: 09/12/2023] [Indexed: 09/17/2023] Open
Abstract
T14, a 14mer peptide derived from the C-terminus of acetylcholinesterase (AChE) is a signalling molecule that could drive neurodegeneration via the alpha 7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor. Its levels increase as Alzheimer's pathology progresses; however, a cyclic variant of the compound, NBP14, can block the effects of the endogenous linear counterpart in-vitro, ex vivo, and in vivo. Here, we explore the antagonistic potential of two 6mer peptides, NBP6A and NBP6B. These are smaller linear versions of NBP14, designed to be more effective by modifying the amino acid residues to enhance receptor blockade alongside other relevant solubility parameters. The peptides were tested in-vitro in PC12 cells on three parameters, calcium influx, cell viability, and AChE release, and ex vivo using voltage sensitive dye imaging (VSDI) in rat brain slices. Neither NBP6A nor NBP6B applied alone had any effect. In PC12 cells, NBP6B was identified as the more potent molecule since it demonstrated more effective blockade of T14 action on calcium influx, cell viability, and AChE release. NBP6B was then further evaluated using VSDI, where it proved twice as potent as NBP14 in blocking the action of T14. The improved effect of NBP6B in blocking the actions of T14, combined with its smaller size suggests that this variant could have even greater therapeutic potential than its original cyclic compound, for treating neurodegenerative disorders.

Abstract
Sensing of neurotransmitters (NTs) down to nm concentrations is demonstrated by utilizing self-assembled monolayers of plasmonic 60 nm Au nanoparticles in close-packed arrays immobilized onto glass substrates. Multiplicative surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy enhancements are achieved by integrating Fe(III) sensitizers into the precisely-defined <1 nm nanogaps, to target dopamine (DA) sensing. The transparent glass substrates allow for efficient access from both sides of the monolayer aggregate films by fluid and light, allowing repeated sensing in different analytes. Repeated reusability after analyte sensing is shown through oxygen plasma cleaning protocols, which restore pristine conditions for the nanogaps. Examining binding competition in multiplexed sensing of two catecholamine NTs, DA and epinephrine, reveals their bidentate binding and their interactions. These systems are promising for widespread microfluidic integration enabling a wide range of continuous biofluid monitoring for applications in precision health.

Abstract
Amino acids are important biomolecules and contribute to essential biological processes. Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS) now is a powerful tool for the analysis of amino acid metabolites; however, the structural similarity and polarity of amino acids can lead to the poor chromatographic retention and low detection sensitivities. In this study, we used a pair of light and heavy isotopomers of diazo probes, d0/d5-2-(diazomethyl)-N-methyl-N-phenyl-benzamide (2-DMBA/d5 -2-DMBA) to label amino acids. The paired MS probes of 2-DMBA and d5 -2-DMBA carry diazo groups that can efficiently and specifically react with the carboxyl group on free amino acid metabolites under mild conditions. Benefiting from the transfer of the 2-DMBA/d5 -2-DMBA to carboxyl group on amino acids, the ionization efficiencies of amino acids presented great enhancement during LC-MS analysis. The results suggested that the detection sensitivities of 17 amino acids increased by 9-133-fold upon 2-DMBA labeling, and the obtained limits of detection (LODs) of amino acids on-column ranged from 0.011 fmol-0.057 fmol. With the application of the developed method, we successfully achieved the sensitive and accurate detection of the 17 amino acids in microliter level of serum sample. Moreover, the contents of most amino acids were different in the serum from normal and B16F10-tumour mice, demonstrating that endogenous amino acids may play important roles in the regulation of tumors development. This developed method of chemical labeling of amino acids with diazo probes assisted LC-MS analysis provides a potentially valuable tool to investigate the relationships between amino acids metabolism and diseases.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a photoredox three-component atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) reaction of aryl alkynes directly with dialkyl disulfides and alkylsulfinates, circumventing the utilization of chemically unstable and synthetically challenging S-alkyl alkylthiosulfonates as viable addition partners. A vast array of (E)-β-alkylsulfonylvinyl alkylsulfides was prepared with great regio- and stereoselectivity. Moreover, this powerful tactic could be employed to tag cysteine residues of complex polypeptides in solution or on resin merging with solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) techniques. A sulfonyl-derived redox responsive fluorescent probe could be conveniently introduced on the peptide, which displays green fluorescence in cells while showing blue fluorescence in medium. The photophysical investigations reveal that the red shift of the emission fluorescence is attested to reduction of carbonyl group to the corresponding hydroxyl moiety. Interestingly, the fluorescence change of tagged peptide could be reverted in cells by treatment of H2O2, arising from the reoxidation of hydroxyl group back to ketone by the elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Abstract
Catecholamines (CAs) and their metabolites play significant roles in many physiological processes. Changes in CAs concentration in vivo can serve as potential indicators for the diagnosis of several diseases such as pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma. Thus, the accurate quantification of CAs and their metabolites in biological samples is quite important and has attracted great research interest. However, due to their extremely low concentrations and numerous co-existing biological interferences, direct analysis of these endogenous compounds often suffers from severe difficulties. Employing suitable sample preparation techniques before instrument detection to enrich the target analytes and remove the interferences is a practicable and straightforward approach. To date, many sample preparation techniques such as solid-phase extraction (SPE), and liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) have been utilized to extract CAs and their metabolites from various biological samples. More recently, several modern techniques such as solid-phase microextraction (SPME), liquid-liquid microextraction (LLME), dispersive solid-phase extraction (DSPE), and chemical derivatizations have also been used with certain advanced features of automation and miniaturization. There are no review articles with the emphasis on sample preparations for the determination of catecholamine neurotransmitters in biological samples. Thus, this review aims to summarize recent progress and advances from 2015 to 2021, with emphasis on the sample preparation techniques combined with separation-based detection methods such capillary electrophoresis (CE) or liquid chromatography (LC) with various detectors. The current review manuscript would be helpful for the researchers with their research interests in diagnostic analysis and biological systems to choose suitable sample pretreatment and detection methods.

Abstract
Carbon fiber microelectrode arrays based on diazonium salt and single-walled carbon nanotubes composites (DS-SWCNT/CFMEA) have been fabricated, and it developed for the simultaneous monitoring of dopamine (DA) and serotonin (5-HT) with differential pulse voltammary (DPV). The diazonium salt can improve the water-solubility of single-walled carbon nanotubes and show good selectivity to DA, thus DS-SWCNT/CFMEA exhibits enhanced electrocatalytic activity for the oxidation of DA and 5-HT, and well antifouling ability to the other biomolecules. Moreover, DS-SWCNT/CFMEA shows the wider liner range, and the good performance of precision, reproducibility and biocompatibility. The excellent characteristics of the prepared microsensor array make it to be used to monitor the release of DA and 5-HT in the mouse brain striatum of different group over time. Meanwhile, the results of in vivo on line assay further confirmed the pharmacological effects of Uncaria alkaloid extract solution on DA and 5-HT. This research may provide a new method for monitoring the release of neurobiomolecules, and the microsensor array are expected to be a tool for the study of pharmacological and physiological processes on line in vivo.

Abstract
Interface between neuron cells and biomaterials is the key to real-time sensing, transmitting and manipulating of neuron activities, which are the long-term pursue of scientists and gain intense research focus recently. It is of great interest to develop a sensor with exquisite sensitivity and excellent selectivity for real-time monitoring neurotransmitters transport through single live cell. Sensing techniques including electrode-based methods, optogenetics, and nanowire cell penetration systems have been developed to monitor the neuron activities. However, their biocompatibilities remain a challenge. Protein nanopores with membrane compatibility and lumen tunability provide real-time, single-molecule sensitivities for biosensing of DNA, RNA, peptides and small molecules. In this study, an engineered protein nanopore MspA (Mycobacterium smegmatis porin A) through site-directed mutation with histidine selectively bind with Cu2+ in its internal lumen. Chelation of neurotransmitters such as L-glutamate (L-Glu), dopamine (DA) and norepinephrine (NE) with the Cu2+ creates specific current signals, showing different transient current blockade and dwell time in single channel electrophysiological recording. Furthermore, the functionalized M2MspA-N91H nanopores have been embedded in live HEK293T cell membrane for real-time, in situ monitoring of extracellular L-glutamate translocating through the nanopore. This biomimetic neurotransmitter nanopore has provided a new platform for future development of neuron sensors, drug carrier and artificial synapse.

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.

Abstract
Drug dependence may affect the neurotransmitter system levels in the human body. This study recruited 113 healthy control subjects, 118 heroin-dependent patients and 118 methamphetamine-dependent patients and examined the serum 5-HT, dopamine, glutamate and norepinephrine levels in the 349 volunteers. ELISA assays demonstrated that the serum 5-HT levels were significantly reduced in the drug-dependent patients, whereas the serum dopamine and glutamate levels were both significantly increased in the drug-dependent patients when compared with control subjects. In contrast, the norepinephrine levels did not exhibit a significant difference between the drug-dependent and control subjects. We also used qRT-PCR to analyze the transcriptional expression levels of 5-HT1A, 5-HT1B, dopmaine-D1 and dopamine-D2 receptors in the blood of drug-dependent patients and controls, and the results show that only 5-HT1B receptor levels were dysfunctional in the heroin abusers. In addition, our results suggest that serum 5-HT, dopamine, and glutamate levels had the potential to differ between drug abusers and controls, and combining those three potential biomarkers provided an accurate means to differentiate between the drug-dependent and control subjects. Taken together, our study reveals a differential profile of neurotransmitters in the heroin-dependent patients and methamphetamine-dependent patients, and this revelation may contribute to understanding the pathophysiology of drug addiction.

Abstract
Qi-Shen-Ke-Li (QSKL), a traditional Chinese formula prepared from six herbs, has long been used for the treatment of coronary heart disease and chronic heart failure. However, the herbal combination mechanism and underlying material basis of this multi-herbal formula are not clear. In this study, an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method to simultaneously determine multiple bioactive compounds in QSKL was established and validated. Using the developed method, 18 bioactive components in rat plasma after oral administration of QSKL formula and its single herb extracts were quantified. Based on these results, pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters (T1/2 , Tmax , Cmax , AUC0-48h , and AUC0-∞ ) of the 18 bioactive components were analyzed and compared using PKSlover 2.0 PK software. The experimental data suggested that significant changes in PK profiles were observed between the QSKL formula and its single-herb extracts. The herbal combination in QSKL significantly influences the system exposure and the PK behaviors of the 18 bioactive components, indicating multicomponent interactions among the herbs. This study provides insight into the herbal combination mechanism and underlying material basis of the QSKL formula.

Compensate for or Minimize Matrix Effects? Strategies for Overcoming Matrix Effects in Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry Technique: A Tutorial Review. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25133047.

Abstract
In recent decades, mass spectrometry techniques, particularly when combined with separation methods such as high-performance liquid chromatography, have become increasingly important in pharmaceutical, bio-analytical, environmental, and food science applications because they afford high selectivity and sensitivity. However, mass spectrometry has limitations due to the matrix effects (ME), which can be particularly marked in complex mixes, when the analyte co-elutes together with other molecules, altering analysis results quantitatively. This may be detrimental during method validation, negatively affecting reproducibility, linearity, selectivity, accuracy, and sensitivity. Starting from literature and own experience, this review intends to provide a simple guideline for selecting the best operative conditions to overcome matrix effects in LC-MS techniques, to obtain the best result in the shortest time. The proposed methodology can be of benefit in different sectors, such as pharmaceutical, bio-analytical, environmental, and food sciences. Depending on the required sensitivity, analysts may minimize or compensate for ME. When sensitivity is crucial, analysis must try to minimize ME by adjusting MS parameters, chromatographic conditions, or optimizing clean-up. On the contrary, to compensate for ME analysts should have recourse to calibration approaches depending on the availability of blank matrix. When blank matrices are available, calibration can occur through isotope labeled internal standards and matrix matched calibration standards; conversely, when blank matrices are not available, calibration can be performed through isotope labeled internal standards, background subtraction, or surrogate matrices. In any case, an adjusting of MS parameters, chromatographic conditions, or a clean-up are necessary.

Abstract
To meet the increasing clinical needs for 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 (25OH-D3) detection, the development of an efficient and accurate high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS) method for plasma 25OH-D3 quantitation is important. Since 25OH-D3 is an endogenous compound, the lack of a plasma blank increases the difficulty of accurately quantifying 25OH-D3. Selection of a method suitable for clinical monitoring among various methods for endogenous compound quantification is necessary. Methyl tert butyl ether was chosen for the sample treatment in a liquid-liquid extraction protocol. Water as a blank matrix, 5% human serum albumin in water as a blank matrix, surrogate analyte and background subtraction were designed to address the problem of a deficiency of a plasma blank. Four liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry methods were fully validated to verify the advantages and limitations owing to regulatory deficiencies for endogenous compound validation. All four methods met the criteria and could be used to monitor clinical samples. Overall 30 human plasma samples were quantified in parallel using the four methods. The difference between any two methods was <12.6% and the total relative standard deviation was <5.2%. Background subtraction and 5% human serum albumin in water as a blank matrix may be better choices considering data quality, matrix similarity, cost and practicality.

Abstract
![]()
A targeted
ultrahigh-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass
spectrometry with electrospray ionization (UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS) method
has been developed for the quantification of tryptophan and its downstream
metabolites from the kynurenine and serotonin pathways. The assay
coverage also includes markers of gut health and inflammation, including
citrulline and neopterin. The method was designed in 96-well plate
format for application in multiday, multiplate clinical and epidemiology
population studies. A chromatographic cycle time of 7 min enables
the analysis of two 96-well plates in 24 h. To protect chromatographic
column lifespan, samples underwent a two-step extraction, using solvent
protein precipitation followed by delipidation via solid-phase extraction
(SPE). Analytical validation reported accuracy of each analyte <20%
for the lowest limit of quantification and <15% for all other quality
control (QC) levels. The analytical precision for each analyte was
2.1–12.9%. To test the applicability of the method to multiplate
and multiday preparations, a serum pool underwent periodic repeat
analysis during a run consisting of 18 plates. The % CV (coefficient
of variation) values obtained for each analyte were <15%. Additional
biological testing applied the assay to samples collected from healthy
control participants and two groups diagnosed with inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD) (one group treated with the anti-inflammatory 5-aminosalicylic
acid (5-ASA) and one group untreated), with results showing significant
differences in the concentrations of picolinic acid, kynurenine, and
xanthurenic acid. The short analysis time and 96-well plate format
of the assay makes it suitable for high-throughput targeted UHPLC-ESI-MS/MS
metabolomic analysis in large-scale clinical and epidemiological population
studies.

Abstract
To compare pharmacokinetics, metabolism and excretion of levodopa and a triply deuterated form, which is being developed as an improved treatment for Parkinson's disease, methods were needed for quantification of the deuterated and nondeuterated forms of levodopa and five metabolites in human plasma and urine. Results: The natural heavy isotopes in the nondeuterated compounds caused an absolute contribution of up to 100% in the response of the deuterated compounds. Similarly, heavy isotopes in the deuterated analytes contributed to the response of the internal standards, but this did not affect the reliability of the results. Conclusion: Deuterated and nondeuterated analytes can be quantified together by LC-MS/MS, but overestimation of the concentrations of the deuterated molecules may be unavoidable and a careful interpretation of the concentration data is essential.

Abstract
The quantification of eicosanoids and their metabolites in biological samples remain an analytical challenge, even though a number of methodologies/techniques have been developed. The major difficulties encountered are related to the oxidation of eicosanoids and their low quantities in biological matrices. Among the known methodologies, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the standard method for eicosanoid quantification in biological samples. Recently advances have improved the ability to identify and simultaneous quantitate eicosanoids in biological matrices. The present article reviews the quantitative analysis of eicosanoids in different biological matrices by LC and ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC)-MS/MS and discusses important aspects to be considered during the collection, sample preparation and the generation of calibration curves required for eicosanoid analysis.

Abstract
Neurotransmitters are signaling molecules, playing key roles in neuronal communications in the brain. Drug induced changes in neurotransmitters and other brain metabolite concentration may be used to characterize drugs according to their targeted metabolomics profile. Here, we report the development and validation of a straightforward liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of 16 endogenous small polar compounds in rat plasma and brain homogenates. The method enables the quantification of the neurotransmitters γ-aminobutyric acid, glutamate, acetylcholine and adenosine, as well as choline, glutamine, acetylcarnitine, carnitine, creatine, creatinine, valine, leucine, isoleucine, phenylalanine, tyrosine and tryptophan. After optimizing the sample preparation, chromatographic and spectrometric conditions, the method was successfully validated using the standard addition approach and a hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) with an amide column. The method was shown to be linear (r > 0.99) as all the compounds were within the ±25% values of intra and inter-day precision and accuracy acceptance. A matrix effect was corrected with the use of 10 isotopically labelled internal standards and the compound stability was evaluated for all compounds. Relevant exaltation of choline (in plasma) and creatinine (in brain) were solved with -20 °C conditions. The applicability of the method was tested by evaluating brain alterations in the concentrations of neurotransmitters and related compounds after the administration of two psychostimulant drugs of abuse (cocaine and methylenedioxypyrovalerone) to rats. A neuro-metabolic fingerprint of each drug was obtained that reflected their pharmacological profile. Altogether, this methodology presents a valuable targeted metabolomics tool for basic and clinical research studies.

Abstract
Tryptophan (TRP) and dopamine (DA) pathways are of great importance for their related pathology and physiology. In the present study, a new reliable and sensitive analytical method was developed and validated for 12 neuroactive metabolites in TRP and DA pathways in mouse serum and brain by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). The method exhibited good sensitivity as the lower limit of detections ranged from 0.10 to 0.50 ng/ml and the lower limit of quantifications ranged from 0.20 to 2.00 ng/ml by derivatization with dansyl chloride (DNS-Cl) following solid phase extraction (SPE) on C18 cartridges. Good linearity (R2 > 0.99), intra-day precision (<9.8% in serum and <8.8% in brain), inter-day precision (<8.9% in serum and <8.5% in brain) and accuracy (90.3%-110.3% in serum and 86.5%-114.0% in brain) were obtained. The method was successfully applied in measuring 12 neuroactive metabolites in TRP and DA pathways in serum and brain samples of male and female mice to explore the differences between genders. As a result, DA and the turnover of DA to 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (DOPAC), 5-hydroxtryptamine (5-HT) to TRP and 5-hydroxyindole acetic acid (5-HIAA) to 5-HT in the serum and norepinephrine (NE) in the brain were significantly different between genders.

Abstract
Simultaneous monitoring of several neurotransmitters (NTs) linked to Parkinson's disease (PD) has important scientific significance for PD related pathology, pharmacology and drug screening. A new simple, fast and sensitive analytical method, based on in situ derivatization-ultrasound-assisted dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (in situ DUADLLME) in a single step, has been proposed for the quantitative determination of catecholamines and their biosynthesis precursors and metabolites in rat brain microdialysates. The method involved the rapid injection of the mixture of low toxic bromobenzene (extractant) and acetonitrile (dispersant), which containing commercial Lissamine rhodamine B sulfonyl chloride (LRSC) as derivatization reagent, into the aqueous phase of sample and buffer, and the following in situ DUADLLME procedure. After centrifugation, 50μL of the sedimented phase (bromobenzene) was directly injected for ultra high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) detection in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. This interesting combination brought the advantages of speediness, simpleness, low matrix effects and high sensitivity in an effective way. Parameters of in situ DUADLLME and UHPLC-MS/MS conditions were all optimized in detail. The optimum conditions of in situ DUADLLME were found to be 30μL of microdialysates, 150μL of acetonitrile containing LRSC, 50μL of bromobenzene and 800μL of NaHCO3-Na2CO3 buffer (pH 10.5) for 3.0min at 37°C. Under the optimized conditions, good linearity was observed with LODs (S/N>3) and LOQs (S/N>10) of LRSC derivatized-NTs in the range of 0.002-0.004 and 0.007-0.015 nmol/L, respectively. It also brought good precision (3.2-12.8%, peak area CVs%), accuracy (94.2-108.6%), recovery (94.5-105.5%) and stability (3.8-8.1%, peak area CVs%) results. Moreover, LRSC derivatization significantly improved chromatographic resolution and MS detection sensitivity of NTs when compared with the reported studies through the introduction of a permanent charged moiety from LRSC into NTs. Taken together, this in situ DUADLLME method was successfully applied for the simultaneous determination of six NTs in biological samples.
