Abstract
The importance of histamine in various physiological functions and its involvement in allergenic responses make this small molecule one of the most studied biogenic amines. Even though a variety of chromatography-based methods have been described for its analytical determination, the disadvantages they present in terms of cost, analysis time, and low portability limit their suitability for in situ routine testing. In this work, we sought to identify histamine-binding aptamers that could then be exploited for the development of rapid, facile, and sensitive assays for histamine detection suitable for point-of-need analysis. A classic SELEX process was designed employing magnetic beads for target immobilization and the selection was completed after ten rounds. Following Next Generation Sequencing of the last selection rounds from both positive and counter selection magnetic beads, several sequences were identified and initially screened using an apta-PCR affinity assay (APAA). Structural and functional characterization of the candidates resulted in the identification of the H2 aptamer. The high binding affinity of the H2 aptamer to histamine was validated using four independent assays ( KD of 3-34 nM). Finally, the H2 aptamer was used for the development of a magnetic beads-based competitive assay for the detection of histamine in both buffer and synthetic urine, achieving very low limits of detection of 18 pM and 76 pM, respectively, while no matrix effects were observed. These results highlight the suitability of the strategy followed for identifying small molecule-binding aptamers and the compatibility of the selected H2 aptamer with the analysis of biological samples, thus facilitating the development of point-of-care devices for routine testing. Ongoing work is focused on extending the application of the H2 aptamer to the detection of spoilage in meat, fish, and beverages, as well as evaluating the affinity of truncated forms of the aptamer.

Abstract
In this study, a highly sensitive analysis method for the rapid detection of histamine (HA), imidazole-4-acetic acid (IAA) and 1-methylhistamine (MHA) in pregnant women's fingernails was developed using the ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) coupled with electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). HA and MHA were connected with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) as the derivation reagent for the first time. IAA was derivatized with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-piperazino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-PZ) successfully. The derivative mixtures were simultaneously separated within 8 min on an ACQUITY UPLCTM BEH C18 column (1.7 μm, 100 × 2.1 mm i.d.) by isocratic elution using a mixture of 20 mM HCOONH4 and CH3CN (82:18) as the mobile phase, and sensitively detected by selected reaction monitoring (SRM). The quantitative analysis of HA, IAA, and MHA are performed by SRM using the fragmentation transitions of m/z 337.2 → 292.1, 420.6 → 375.1 and 351.2 → 306.0 under the positive ESI mode. The calibration curves for HA, IAA and MHA are presented herein, and their correlation coefficient were found to be above 0.9998, the measured detection limit for derivatized histamine and metabolites ranged from 0.06 to 0.15 fmol, and the relative standard derivation of intra-day and inter-day assays was 6.3%. Furthermore, the mean recoveries (%) of the standards added to human fingernails were in the range of 90.2 - 100.5%. The validated method was successfully applied to analyze human fingernail samples from three pregnant women and three healthy non-pregnant women. To the best of our knowledge, this report about the detection of histamine and metabolites in the fingernails of pregnant women's fingernails is the first published.

New approach for the diagnosis of histamine intolerance based on the determination of histamine and methylhistamine in urine. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2017; 145:379-385. [PMID: 28715791 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2017.06.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/14/2017] [Revised: 06/07/2017] [Accepted: 06/08/2017] [Indexed: 11/22/2022]
Abstract
Histamine intolerance is a disorder in the homeostasis of histamine due to a reduced intestinal degradation of this amine, mainly caused by diamine oxidase (DAO) enzyme deficiency, which provokes its accumulation in plasma and the appearance of adverse health affects. A new approach for the diagnosis of this intolerance could be the determination of histamine and its metabolites in urine. The aim of this work was to develop and validate a rapid method to determine histamine and methylhistamine in human urine by Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Fluorimetric detection (UHPLC-FL). The proposed method is a consistent procedure to determine histamine and methylhistamine in less than 11min with adequate linearity and sensitivity. Relative standard deviation was always lower than 5.5%, ensuring method precision; and mean recovery was greater than 99% for both analytes. The structure of histamine and methylhistamine conjugated with OPA were confirmed by UHPLC-ITD-FTMS which enabled to unequivocally identify both analytes in standards and also in urine samples. The analysis of histamine and methylhistamine in urine samples could be a potential new approach for the routine diagnosis of histamine intolerance, more patient-friendly and with clear advantages in terms of equipment and personnel demand for sample collection in comparison with current plasmatic DAO activity determination.

Abstract
The endogenous metabolite histamine (HA) is synthesized in various mammalian cells but can also be ingested from exogenous sources. It is involved in a plethora of physiological and pathophysiological processes. So far, four different HA receptors (H1R-H4R) have been described and numerous HAR antagonists have been developed. Contemporary investigations regarding the various roles of HA and its main metabolites have been hampered by the lack of highly specific and sensitive analytic methods for all of these analytes. Liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the method of choice for identification and sensitive quantification of many low-molecular weight endogenous metabolites. In this chapter, different methodological aspects of HA quantification as well as recommendations for LC-MS/MS methods suitable for analysis of HA and its main metabolites are summarized.

Pharmacokinetic properties and safety profile of histamine dihydrochloride injection in Chinese healthy volunteers: a phase I, single-center, open-label, randomized study. Clin Ther 2015; 37:2352-64. [PMID: 26276501 DOI: 10.1016/j.clinthera.2015.07.017] [Citation(s) in RCA: 6] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2015] [Revised: 07/17/2015] [Accepted: 07/21/2015] [Indexed: 12/28/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Histamine dihydrochloride (HDC) injection has been approved in Europe for the treatment of adults with acute myeloid leukemia, used in combination therapy with the T-cell-derived cytokine interleukin-2. Despite years of clinical applications of HDC in Europe, no data are available on its tolerability and pharmacokinetic properties in Chinese patients. The objective of this study was to determine the safety profile and pharmacokinetic properties of HDC in Chinese healthy volunteers (HVs). METHODS In this Phase I, single-center, open-label, randomized study, 20 Chinese HVs were randomized to receive a single dose of 0.5 or 1.0 mg HDC via a 10-minute subcutaneous injection. Whole-blood and urine samples were collected at designated time points after dosing. Plasma and urine concentrations of histamine and metabolite N-methyl histamine were measured using a validated HPLC-MS/MS method. Pharmacokinetic parameters were estimated through noncompartmental procedures based on concentration-time data. Adverse events and evaluation of clinical laboratory tests were used to assess the safety profile. The pharmacokinetic profile for a single-dose of 1.0 mg HDC in Chinese HVs was compared with that in Western HVs. FINDINGS No severe adverse events occurred in this study, and the severity of all adverse events was grade I according to the Common Terminology Criteria for Adverse Events, version 4.0. For the pharmacokinetic parameters of histamine at the 0.5-mg and 1.0-mg dose levels, t½ was 0.50 and 1.02 hours; Tmax was 0.15 and 0.14 hours; mean Cmax was 26.59 and 71.01 nmol/L; AUC0-t was 8.35 and 20.43 nmol/h/L; AUC0-∞ was 9.61 and 22.69 nmol/h/L; accumulated amount excreted in urine within 24 hours was 125.93 and 145.52 nmol; and maximum urine excretion rates were 21.85 and 38.94 nmol/h, respectively. For N-methyl histamine at the 0.5-mg and 1.0-mg dose levels, t½ was 0.58 and 0.66 hours; Tmax was 0.28 and 0.26 hours; mean Cmax was 17.01 and 23.54 nmol/L; AUC0-t was 7.72 and 17.08 nmol/h/L; AUC0-∞ was 9.01 and 19.62 nmol/h/L; accumulated amount excreted in urine within 24 hours was 331.7 and 583.21 nmol; and maximum urine excretion rates were 53.29 and 133.53 nmol/h, respectively. IMPLICATIONS Both single-dose 0.5 mg and 1.0 mg HDC were well tolerated in Chinese HVs, and the pharmacokinetic profile of HDC in Chinese HVs was characterized in this study. A single dose of 1.0 mg HDC had a more rapid but similar extent of absorption, a wider distribution, and a little more rapid elimination in Chinese HVs compared with Western HVs. Findings from this study support additional clinical trials for HDC using in Chinese patients. Chinese Clinical Trial Registry identifier: ChiCTR-ONC-13003954.

Abstract
Histamine is an important mediator of anaphylactic reactions. Although several methods have been developed to measure histamine levels, each has its limitations. In this study, we developed and validated a convenient bioanalytical method for the qualitative and quantitative determination of histamine in plasma samples from humans, beagle dogs, Sprague-Dawley rats, and imprinting control region mice. A simple plasma protein precipitation method using acetonitrile was selected, and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry was used for sample separation and detection. Histamine was subjected to gradient elution with acetonitrile, ammonium acetate buffer, and formic acid. A mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source was operated in the positive-ion multiple reaction monitoring mode for the detection of histamine and the internal standard. The [M+H](+) transitions were m/z 112→95 for histamine and m/z 116→99 for d4-histamine, which was used as the internal standard. The lower limit of quantification was 0.2μg/L and the calibration range was 0.2-500μg/L. The overall recovery ranged from 93.6% to 102.8%. The intra- and inter-run precision and accuracy were <15% for plasma samples from all four species. The method was validated by measuring the plasma histamine concentrations in five healthy human volunteers. In conclusion, we have developed and validated a novel bioanalytical method for the quantification of histamine levels in plasma samples from various mammalian species.

Abstract
A major factor in non-allergic food hypersensitivity could be the interaction of dietary lectins with mast cells and basophils. Because immunoglobulin E (IgE) contains 10-12% carbohydrates, lectins can activate and degranulate these cells by cross-linking the glycans of cell-bound IgE. The present objective focuses on the effect of potato lectin (Solanum tuberosum agglutinin; STA) for its ability to release histamine from basophils in vitro and mast cells in vivo from non-atopic and atopic subjects. In this study, subjects were selected randomly based on case history and skin prick test responses with food, pollen and house dust mite extracts. Skin prick test (SPT) was performed with STA at 100 microg/ml concentration. Histamine release was performed using leucocytes from non-atopic and atopic subjects and rat peritoneal exudate cells. SPT on 110 atopic subjects using STA showed 39 subjects positive (35%); however, none showed STA-specific IgE; among 20 non-atopic subjects, none were positive by SPT. Maximal histamine release was found to be 65% in atopic subjects (n = 7) compared to 28% in non-atopic subjects (n = 5); the release was inhibited specifically by oligomers of N-acetylglucosamine and correlates well with serum total IgE levels (R(2) = 0.923). Binding of STA to N-linked glycoproteins (horseradish peroxidase, avidin and IgG) was positive by dot blot and binding assay. As potato lectin activates and degranulates both mast cells and basophils by interacting with the chitobiose core of IgE glycans, higher intake of potato may increase the clinical symptoms as a result of non-allergic food hypersensitivity in atopic subjects.

Abstract
A simple, practical technique is presented for the selective determination and measurement of histamine (HA) levels in fermented food. The method involved a solid-phase extraction cleanup using a Sep-Pak Plus C-18 cartridge and ion-paired reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatographic (IP-RP-HPLC) separation, followed by detection of HA at its UV absorbance wavelength of 220nm. After evaporating a methanolic extract from the food sample, the resulting residue was reconstituted with 0.2M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0), and subsequently passed through the cartridge. The aliquot of the solution which came out of the cartridge was chromatographed in IP-RP mode on a C-18 column, as the stationary phase, and with a solution of 0.2M phosphate buffer (pH 3.0)-acetonitrile-water (1:24:166, v/v) containing 2mM sodium 1-octane sulfonic acid, as the mobile phase. When this method was applied to a mixture of HA, Cadaverine (Cad), Putrescine (Put), Serotonin (5HT), and Tyramine (Tyr), only HA was detected at 16.4min of retention time. The method was fully validated and validation parameters were: linearity range 2-1000ppm; correlation coefficient >0.991; mean recovery >99.5%; limit of quantification 2ppm and limit of detection 0.5ppm. The method was next applied to 12 brands of Miso (fermented soybean paste), 9 brands of Sake (rice wine), and 5 brands of Shouyu (Japanese soy sauce) to verify its ability to detect the presence of HA in a variety of fermented foods. The method proved to be both rapid and accurate and is therefore recommended for use in HA pollution surveys and in the routine practice of food-quality control.

Abstract
A method for the determination of histamine and its catabolite 1-methylhistamine (1-MH) was developed, using HPLC with fluorescence detection. Derivatization of both compounds occurred on-column with o-phthaldialdehyde dissolved in an alkaline borate buffer, followed by separation on a reversed phase C18 column. Histamine and 1-MH could be detected with comparable sensitivity (limit of quantification, 50 nM). The method was proven suitable to investigate catabolism of histamine by epithelia of pig colon. The method should be useful in research on histamine metabolism.

Rapid determination of histamine and its metabolites in mice hair by ultra-performance liquid chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2006; 1132:148-56.

Abstract
The rapid determination of histamine (HA) and several metabolites, i.e., 1-methylhistamine (MHA), imidazole-4-acetic acid (IAA), and 1-methyl-4-imidazole-acetic acid (MIAA), in mice hairs was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC-TOF-MS). HA and MHA, having a primary amino group (NH(2)) in their structures, were first labeled with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) at 60 degrees C for 45 min in the mixture of 0.1M borax (pH 9.3) and acetonitrile (CH(3)CN). On the other hand, 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-piperazino-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-PZ) was used for the labeling of a carboxylic acid group (COOH) in IAA and MIAA in the presence of 2,2'-dipyridyl disulfide (DPDS) and triphenylphosphine (TPP). The reaction with DBD-PZ was completed at 50 degrees C after 2h. The resulting derivatives of HA and the metabolites were perfectly separated using an ACQUITY UPLCtrade mark BEH C(18) column (1.7 microm, 100 x 2.1mm, i.d.) with the mixture of 20 mM HCOONH(4) and CH(3)CN (8:2). The structures of HA and the metabolites were identified from the protonated-molecular ions [M+H](+) and the de-protonated-molecular ions [M-H](-) of authentic compounds, obtained from TOF-MS measurement. A good linearity was achieved from the calibration curves, obtained by plotting the peak area ratios of the analytes relative to the internal standard (IS), i.e., histamine-alpha,alpha,beta,beta-d(4) (HA-d(4)) or 4-imidazolecarboxylic acid (ICA), against the injected amounts of each compound (1.0-25 pmol, r(2)=0.998). The detection limits of HA and the metabolites were less than 1 pmol. The proposed method was applied to the determination in the hair shafts of C3H mice. The average concentrations of HA, MHA, IAA and MIAA in 1mg of the hair shafts were 16.3 pmol (n=7), 21.6 pmol (n=3), 6.6 pmol (n=3) and 7.1 pmol (n=3), respectively. Because the proposed method provides good mass accuracy and the trace detection of HA and several metabolites in hair, this analytical technique seems to be applicable for the determination of various biological compounds in hair.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The disease extent of mastocytosis can be assessed by measurement of mediators or their metabolites, secreted from mast cells. In the present study, we compared results of urinary N-methylhistamine measurements with analysis of total tryptase in serum from patients with suspected mastocytosis. METHODS Tryptase in serum was determined with the UniCAP tryptase fluor-enzyme-immunoassay, according to the manufacturers' instructions (Pharmacia, Woerden, Netherlands). N-methylhistamine in urine was determined by competitive radioimmunoassay, according to the manufacturers' instructions (Pharmacia). RESULTS A significant correlation between serum tryptase and urine N-methylhistamine was found both for 138 patients aged 14 or older (Spearman Rank r(s)=0.43, p<0.0001) and for 23 younger patients (Spearman Rank r(s)=0.46, p=0.0267). The between-run coefficient of variation of the tryptase assay was half (6.7%) of the one (13%) found with the urinary N-methylhistamine assay. Both for urine N-methylhistamine and serum tryptase, a significant difference was found between corresponding biopsies with an increased number of mast cell aggregates and biopsies without such an increase. The difference between tryptase levels however was stronger (Mann-Whitney: p=0.0012) than the difference between N-methylhistamine levels (Mann-Whitney: p=0.0140). CONCLUSION Serum tryptase discriminates better than urinary N-methylhistamine between patients with an increased number of mast cell aggregates and persons without such an increase.

Abstract
Human urine plays a central role in clinical diagnostic being one of the most-frequently used body fluid for detection of biological markers. Samples from patients with different diseases display patterns of biomarkers that differ significantly from those obtained from healthy subjects. The availability of fast, reproducible, and easy-to-apply analytical techniques that would allow identification of a large number of these analytes is thus highly desiderable since they may provide detailed information about the progression of a pathological process. From among the variety of methods so far applied for the determination of urinary metabolites, capillary electrophoresis, both in the capillary zone electrophoresis (CZE) and micellar electrokinetic chromatography (MEKC) modes, represents a robust and reliable analytical tool widely used in this area. The aim of the present article is to focus the interest of the reader on recent applications of MEKC and CZE in the field of urinary biomarkers and to discuss advantages and/or limitations of each mode.

Abstract
A new rapid and sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method for determining histamine in red wine samples, based on continuous flow derivatization with 1,2-naphthoquinone-4-sulfonate (NQS), is proposed. In this system, samples are derivatized on-line in a three-channel flow manifold for reagent, buffer and sample. The reaction takes place in a PTFE coil heated at 80 degrees C and with a residence time of 2.9 min. The reaction mixture is injected directly into the chromatographic system, where the histamine derivative is separated from other aminated compounds present in the wine matrix in less than ten minutes. The HPLC procedure involves a C18 column, a binary gradient of 2% acetic acid-methanol as a mobile phase, and UV detection at 305 nm. Analytical parameters of the method are evaluated using red wine samples. The linear range is up to 66.7 mg L(-1) (r = 0.9999), the precision (RSD) is 3%, the detection limit is 0.22 mg L(-1), and the average histamine recovery is 101.5% +/- 6.7%. Commercial red wines from different Spanish regions are analyzed with the proposed method.

Abstract
Sensitive determination of histamine (HA) in hair was carried out by column-switching reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS). HA was labeled with excess amounts of 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F) at 60 degrees C for 30 min in a mixture of 0.1 M borax (pH 9.3) and acetonitrile (CH(3)CN). The resulting DBD-HA derivative was roughly separated by a Mightysil RP-18 GP (100 x 2mm i.d., 3 microm) with an acidic mobile phase containing 0.1% trifluoroacetic acid. DBD-HA in the fraction flowing due to a position change in the six-port column-switching valve was then completely separated by a Wakopak Navi C30 (150 x 2mm i.d., 5 microm) with 20 mM AcONH(4)-CH(3)CN (8:2). The mass spectrometer was operated in the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) mode for the product ion (m/z 292) obtained from MS-MS measurement using the protonated molecular ion [M+H](+) (m/z 337) as the precursor ion. Good linearity was achieved from the calibration curve obtained by plotting peak area ratios of the internal standard (HA-d(4)) against the injected amounts of HA (1.66-16.6 pmol, r(2)=0.999). The coefficients of variation, at 1.66- and 16.6-pmol injections, were 5.6 and 3.7%, respectively (n=6). Furthermore, the detection limit was 0.167 pmol. The efficiency of the recommended procedure was identified from the determination in the rat hair root after intraperitoneal administration of HA. The proposed method was applied to HA determination in the hair shaft of Dark Agouti rats and healthy volunteers. The variations in the concentrations in 1mg of hair shaft were 0.80-1.84 pmol (mean+/-SD=1.33+/-0.33, n=12) in rats and 0.94-72.3 pmol (17.2+/-21.5, n=16) in humans. The determination of HA in the plasma of rats and humans was also performed successfully by this method. Because the proposed method provides good precision and trace detection of HA in hair, the analytical technique seems to be applicable for the determination of various biogenic amines in hair.

Abstract
The elution behaviors of the biogenic amines, histamine (HA) and its metabolite methyl histamine (MHA), were evaluated by means of on-column derivatization (OCD)-capillary electrochromatography (CEC) which employed a monolithic octadecylsilica (ODS) capillary column (20 cm of effective length x 50 microm of inner diameter). Five kinds of alkylthiols, e.g., 2- hydroxyethylthiol (or 2-mercaptoethanol (2-ME)), ethanethiol (ET), 1-propanethiol (1-PT), 2-methyl-1-propanethiol (2-MPT) and 1-butanethiol (1-BT) were separately presented at 5 mM each in the OCD-CEC separation run buffer consisting of 60% acetonitrile in 5 mM o-phthalaldehyde (OPA)-10 mM borate buffer (pH 10). When 2-ME was present in the run buffer solution, both derivatives corresponding to HA and MHA migrated separately, but closely together through the capillary column. Replacement of 2-ME with 1-BT in the run buffer solution caused a delay in their elution profiles on the electrochromatogram and the separation between those two peaks became remarkably improved. The elution times of HA and MHA followed the increase in alkyl chain length or hydrophobicity of thiol, 1-BT > 2-MPT > 1-PT > ET > 2-ME. Performance of on-line preconcentrations of HA and MHA was also evaluated by varying the electrokinetic injection voltage from 1 kV to 8 kV. The peak area counts corresponding to HA recorded about 50 times higher when 2 kV was applied for 240 s to a 0.1 mM HA solution than when 8 kV was applied for 5 s. This method was next applied to a sample of human urine spiked with HA and MHA at levels of 0.1 microM each. Although HA and MHA peaks were not identifiable among the peaks corresponding to the materials in the urine matrix when OPA/2-ME was employed in a run buffer for the OCD-CEC, the separation and identification of their peaks became possible by replacing 2-ME with 1-BT in the run buffer solution.

Abstract
To expand the applications of the on-line preconcentration technique with capillary electrochromatography (CEC) to biogenic amines that have no specific chromophore or fluorophore in their molecules, a method of on-line preconcentration prior to on-column derivatization CEC is presented. A monolithic ODS capillary column (20 cm effective length x 75 microm i.d.) for CEC was fabricated using a thermal sol-gel reaction of tetraethyl orthosilicate to capture ODS particles (5-microm particle diameter) in a capillary tube. A standard model biogenic amine solution consisting of histamine, methylhistamine, and serotonin was electrokinetically injected from the anodic site of the capillary column with 5 kV, and these amines were effectively concentrated at the inlet site of the capillary column by a field-amplified sample stacking, a gradient effect mode, or both. This preconcentration occurred whenever the several types of solvent for reconstitution of the amines, e.g., water (noneluting solvent or low-conductivity solvent), 0.9% sodium chloride (noneluting solvent or high-conductivity solvent), or 60% acetonitrile in 10 mM borate buffer (pH 10) (eluting solvent) were employed. After concentration, the amines were subsequently derivatized, separated, and detected during CEC with an optimum CEC run buffer solution containing 60% acetonitrile in 5 mM o-phthalaldehyde/2-mercaptoethanol-10 mM borate buffer (pH 10) when 5 kV was continuously applied. Using the present system, equipped with a fluorescence detector instead of a UV/visible detector, the detection sensitivity for amines reached a 0.1 microM level, which increased sensitivity by a factor of 10(3) times greater than that of normal on-column derivatization CEC.
