Bressán I, Martínez OF, Astolfo MA. Bioanalytical validation and clinical application of a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry method for the quantification of 3-orthomethyldopa, 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid and homovanillic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2024; 248:116321. [PMID: 38959757 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2024.116321] [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: 04/14/2024] [Revised: 05/26/2024] [Accepted: 06/20/2024] [Indexed: 07/05/2024]
Abstract
Inherited disorders of monoamine neurotransmitters are a subset of inborn errors of metabolism affecting biochemical pathways of catecholamines, serotonin or their enzymatic cofactors. Usually, their clinical presentation is similar to those of other common neurological syndromes. For this reason, they are frequently under-recognized and misdiagnosed. Because cerebrospinal fluid concentration of catecholamine metabolites (3-orthomethyldopa and homovanillic acid) and serotonin metabolites (5-hydroxytryptophan and 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid) presents a direct correlation with their brain levels, analysis of this group of compounds is critical to reach an accurate diagnosis. Although there are several published liquid chromatography-based bioanalytical methods for the quantification of these compounds, most of them present disadvantages, making their application difficult to implement in routine clinical practice. In this study, a rapid and simple UHPLC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of 3-orthomethyldopa, 5-hydroxytryptophan, 5-hydroxyindolacetic acid and homovanillic acid in human cerebrospinal fluid was validated. All the evaluated performance parameters, including linearity, carryover, accuracy and precision (within and between-day), lower limit of quantitation, recovery, matrix effect and stability under different conditions met the acceptance criteria from international guidelines. Additionally, 10 human cerebrospinal fluid samples collected via lumbar puncture from 10 pediatric patients were quantified using the validated method to assess its clinical application and diagnostic utility for inherited monoamine neurotransmitter metabolism.

J Pharm Anal 2024; 14:100954. [PMID: 39175610 PMCID: PMC11340582 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2024.02.008] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/05/2023] [Revised: 01/06/2024] [Accepted: 02/21/2024] [Indexed: 08/24/2024] Open
Abstract
Liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) is a widely utilized technique for in vivo pharmaceutical analysis. Ionization interference within electrospray ion source, occurring between drugs and metabolites, can lead to signal variations, potentially compromising quantitative accuracy. Currently, method validation often overlooks this type of signal interference, which may result in systematic errors in quantitative results without matrix-matched calibration. In this study, we conducted an investigation using ten different groups of drugs and their corresponding metabolites across three LC-ESI-MS systems to assess the prevalence of signal interference. Such interferences can potentially cause or enhance nonlinearity in the calibration curves of drugs and metabolites, thereby altering the relationship between analyte response and concentration for quantification. Finally, we established an evaluation scheme through a step-by-step dilution assay and employed three resolution methods: chromatographic separation, dilution, and stable labeled isotope internal standards correction. The above strategies were integrated into the method establishment process to improve quantitative accuracy.

J Sep Sci 2023; 46:e2300571. [PMID: 37897324 DOI: 10.1002/jssc.202300571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 16.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/05/2023] [Revised: 09/22/2023] [Accepted: 09/29/2023] [Indexed: 10/30/2023]
Abstract
Matrix effects can significantly impede the accuracy, sensitivity, and reliability of separation techniques presenting a formidable challenge to the analytical process. It is crucial to address matrix effects to achieve accurate and precise measurements in complex matrices. The multifaceted nature of matrix effects which can be influenced by factors such as target analyte, sample preparation protocol, composition, and choice of instrument necessitates a pragmatic approach when analyzing complex matrices. This review aims to highlight common challenges associated with matrix effects throughout the entire analytical process with emphasis on gas chromatography-mass spectrometry, liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and sample preparation techniques. These techniques are susceptible to matrix effects that could lead to ion suppression/enhancement or impact the analyte signal at various stages of the analytical workflow. The assessment, quantification, and mitigation of matrix effects are necessary in developing any analytical method. Strategies can be implemented to reduce or eliminate the matrix effect by changing the type of ionization, improving extraction and clean-up methods, optimization of chromatography conditions, and corrective calibration methods. While development of an effective strategy to completely mitigate matrix effects remains elusive, an integrated approach that combines sample preparation, analytical extraction, and effective instrumental analysis remains the most promising avenue for identifying and resolving matrix effects.

Use of tandem carbon microfiber columns for on-line fractionation strategy of reducing ion suppression effects in electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr A 2022; 1685:463641. [PMID: 36403517 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2022.463641] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/30/2022] [Revised: 11/05/2022] [Accepted: 11/05/2022] [Indexed: 11/09/2022]
Abstract
As we all know, the complexity and diversity of complex sample are confronting with challenge of high-sensitive mass spectrometry analysis, especially direct mass spectrometry. The work proposed a two-dimensional carbon microfiber fractionation (2DμCFs) system for the reduction of ion suppression effects in electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The 2DμCFs system can on-line fractionated the complex sample into strong-polar, medium-polar and weak-polar fractions for sequential MS analysis. Direct analysis brings about the strong ion suppression effect up to 85%, but the fractionated analysis of 2DμCFs system can distinctly reduce the ion suppression effect to less than 43%, even close to none. And the fractionated analysis not only decrease the number of analytes of direct analysis, but also narrows down the polarity range of analytes within the droplets of ESI, contributing to the homogeneous distribution to reduce the ion suppression effect. As an example, the 2DμCFs system coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was applied for fractionated analysis of Radix Puerariae extract in 4.5 min. Compared with direct MS/MS, the 2DμCFs-MS/MS shows the lower ion suppression and the more ionic species (m/z). In addition, and most of ionic species detected by the 2DμCFs-MS/MS, are the same as those by HPLC MS/MS. Furthermore, the 2DμCFs-MS/MS exhibit the good analysis repeatability of real sample with the RSDs less than 10.32% (intra-day), 7.12% (inter-day) and 14.28% (inter-batch of CFs and ACFs). The carbon fibers (CFs) and active carbon fibers (ACFs) columns, as the key parts, are conducive to achieve on-line fractionation of compounds based on the difference of polarity. The 2DμCFs system has the merits of on-line, speediness, low-pressure and recycle. More importantly, such fast and high-throughput method is advantageous for comprehensive screening of complex samples in drug, clinical, environment and plant.

Abstract
Background: The capability of targeted MS-based methods to simultaneously measure multiple analytes with high selectivity and sensitivity greatly facilitates the discovery and quantitation of novel biomarkers. However, the complexity of biological samples is a major bottleneck that requires extensive sample preparation. Results: This paper reports a generic workflow to optimize surrogate peptide-based protein biomarker screening for seven human proteins in a multiplexed manner without the need for any specific affinity reagents. Each step of the sample processing and LC-MS methods is systematically assessed and optimized for better analytical performance. Conclusion: The established method is used for the screening of multiple myeloma patient samples to determine which proteins could be robustly measured and serve as potential biomarkers of the disease.

Screening of Novel Source for Genistein by Rapid and Sensitive UPLC-APCI-TOF Mass Spectrometry. INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF FOOD SCIENCE 2021; 2021:5537917.

Abstract
Genistein has been shown to have a broad spectrum of health advantages. Only legumes were reported to have a significant amount of genistein with the highest concentration in Soybean. Soybean was found to cause allergies in children with atopic dermatitis and in adults. Limited food sources have hindered the use of genistein in daily diets, medications, and nutraceuticals. The main objective of the current research work was to discover the novel source for genistein by the simple method of extraction and quantification. Genistein was extracted by solid-liquid extraction technique. Extraction parameters were optimized by a single factor test. Identification and quantification of genistein from the selected seeds of Apiaceae were carried out using UPLC-APCI-TOF-MS. UPLC-APCI-TOF-MS method was successfully developed, validated (linearity (R2 = 0.999), precision (R.S.D. <5%), and accuracy (107.23%)), and used for the study. Remarkably, a high concentration of the genistein (811.57 μg/g) was found in the Cuminum cyminum. Solvent mixture (50 mL Methanol+25 mL Dimethyl sulphoxide+25 mL Water (v/v/v)), temperature (80°C), and time (1 h) were found to be the optimum extraction conditions. The concentration of genistein before optimization was 226.67 μg/g and after optimization is 811.57 μg/g. This shows the efficiency of the extraction method in the extraction of genistein without the need for hydrolysis. Novel source for genistein is identified in regular human food can be consumed in a regular diet which increases wellness of human health along with enhancing the taste of the food. The developed extraction method coupled with high throughput, sensitive, and selective UPLC-APCI-TOF-MS technique facilitates rapid quantification (8 minutes of run time) without primary purification of complex extract.

Abstract
GPx8 is a glutathione peroxidase homolog inserted in the membranes of endoplasmic reticulum (ER), where it seemingly plays a role in controlling redox status by preventing the spill of H2O2. We addressed the impact of GPx8 silencing on the lipidome of microsomal membranes, using stably GPx8-silenced HeLa cells. The two cell lines were clearly separated by Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Partial Least Square Discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) of lipidome. Considering in detail the individual lipid classes, we observed that unsaturated glycerophospholipids (GPL) decreased, while only in phosphatidylinositols (PI) a substitution of monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFA) for polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA) was observed. Among sphingolipids (SL), ceramides (CER) decreased while sphingomyelins (SM) and neutral glycophingolipids (nGSL) increased. Here, in addition, longer chains than in controls in the amide fatty acid were present. The increase up to four folds of the CER (d18:1; c24:0) containing three hexose units, was the most remarkable species increasing in the differential lipidome of siGPx8 cells. Quantitative RT-PCR complied with lipidomic analysis specifically showing an increased expression of: i) acyl-CoA synthetase 5 (ACSL5); ii) CER synthase 2 and 4; iii) CER transporter (CERT); iv) UDP-glucosyl transferase (UDP-GlcT), associated to a decreased expression of UDP-galactosyl transferase (UDP-GalT). A role of the unfolded protein response (UPR) and the spliced form of the transcription factor XBP1 on the transcriptional changes of GPx8 silenced cells was ruled-out. Similarly, also the involvement of Nrf2 and NF-κB. Altogether our results indicate that GPx8-silencing of HeLa yields a membrane depleted by about 24% of polyunsaturated GPL and a corresponding increase of saturated or monounsaturated SM and specific nGSL. This is tentatively interpreted as an adaptive mechanism leading to an increased resistance to radical oxidations. Moreover, the marked shift of fatty acid composition of PI emerges as a possibly relevant issue in respect to the impact of GPx8 on signaling pathways.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The development of effective screening methods for early cancer detection is one of the foremost challenges facing modern cancer research. Urinary metabolomics has recently emerged as a potentially transformative approach to cancer biomarker discovery owing to its noninvasive sampling characteristics and robust analytical feasibility. OBJECTIVE To provide an overview of new developments in urinary metabolomics, cover the most promising aspects of hyphenated techniques in untargeted and targeted metabolomics, and to discuss technical and clinical limitations in addition to the emerging challenges in the field of urinary metabolomics and its application to cancer biomarker discovery. METHODS A systematic review of research conducted in the past five years on the application of urinary metabolomics to cancer biomarker discovery was performed. Given the breadth of this topic, our review focused on the five most widely studied cancers employing urinary metabolomics approaches, including lung, breast, bladder, prostate, and ovarian cancers. RESULTS As an extension of conventional metabolomics, urinary metabolomics has benefitted from recent technological developments in nuclear magnetic resonance, mass spectrometry, gas and liquid chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis that have improved urine metabolome coverage and analytical reproducibility. Extensive metabolic profiling in urine has revealed a significant number of altered metabolic pathways and putative biomarkers, including pteridines, modified nucleosides, and acylcarnitines, that have been associated with cancer development and progression. CONCLUSION Urinary metabolomics presents a transformative new approach toward cancer biomarker discovery with high translational capacity to early cancer screening.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mass spectrometry is selective and sensitive, permitting routine quantification of multiple plasma proteins. However, commonly used nanoflow liquid chromatography (LC) approaches hamper sample throughput, reproducibility, and robustness. For this reason, most publications using plasma proteomics to date are small in study size. METHODS AND RESULTS Here, we tested a standard-flow LC mass spectrometry (MS) method using multiple reaction monitoring for the application to large epidemiological cohorts. We have reduced the LC-MS run time to almost a third of the nanoflow LC-MS approach. On the basis of a comparison of the quantification of 100 plasma proteins in >1500 LC-MS runs, the SD range of the retention time during continuous operation was substantially lower with the standard-flow LC-MS (<0.05 minutes) compared with the nanoflow LC-MS method (0.26-0.44 minutes). In addition, the standard-flow LC method also offered less variation in protein measurements. However, 5× more sample volume was required to achieve similar sensitivity. Two different commercial multiple reaction monitoring kits and an antibody-based multiplexing kit were used to compare the apolipoprotein measurements in a subset of samples. In general, good agreement was observed between the 2 multiple reaction monitoring kits, but some of the multiple reaction monitoring-based measurements differed from antibody-based assays. CONCLUSIONS The multiplexing capability of LC-MS combined with a standard-flow method increases throughput and reduces the costs of large-scale protein measurements in epidemiological cohorts, but protein rather than peptide standards will be required for defined absolute proteoform quantification.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2018; 235:881-888.

Abstract
An isotope-dilution ultra-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry method combined with dansylation was established to sensitively quantify four steroid estrogens (estrone, 17α-estradiol, 17β-estradiol and 17α-ethynylestradiol) and bisphenol A in sewage influent and effluent. A simple hexane extraction was performed from a small volume (10 mL), followed by dansyl chloride derivatization and purification with a silica cartridge. The method effectively reduced the matrix effects in sample extract and permitted the selective and sensitive determination of target compounds from complicated matrices. The detection limits of the method for steroid estrogens were 0.20-0.90 ng L-1 in influent and 0.10-0.20 ng L-1 in effluent samples. For bisphenol A, the limits detection of the method were 20 and 0.80 for influent and effluent samples, respectively. Recoveries of 85%-96% were observed in all matrices. The method was applied to analyze residual estrogens and bisphenol A in sewage influent and effluent samples from Beijing, China. The concentrations of bisphenol A (636-1200 ng L-1) were up to 250 times higher than those of steroid estrogens. Estrone was the dominant estrogen in influent and effluent samples, while similar concentrations of 17α-estradiol and 17β-estradiol were detected in all samples.

Abstract
Lipidomics is rapidly expanding because of the great facilitation of recent advances in, and novel applications of, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry techniques. The greatest demands have been for successful quantification of lipid classes, subclasses, and individual molecular species in biological samples at acceptable accuracy. This review addresses the selection of internal standards in different methods for accurate quantification of individual lipid species. The principles of quantification with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry are first discussed to recognize the essentials for quantification. The basics of different lipidomics approaches are overviewed to understand the variables that need to be considered for accurate quantification. The factors that affect accurate quantification are extensively discussed, and the solutions to resolve these factors are proposed-largely through addition of internal standards. Finally, selection of internal standards for different methods is discussed in detail to address the issues of what, how, and why related to internal standards. We believe that thorough discussion of the topics related to internal standards should aid in quantitative analysis of lipid classes, subclasses, and individual molecular species and should have big impacts on advances in lipidomics. © 2016 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Urine metabolomics has recently emerged as a prominent field for the discovery of non-invasive biomarkers that can detect subtle metabolic discrepancies in response to a specific disease or therapeutic intervention. Urine, compared to other biofluids, is characterized by its ease of collection, richness in metabolites and its ability to reflect imbalances of all biochemical pathways within the body. Following urine collection for metabolomic analysis, samples must be immediately frozen to quench any biogenic and/or non-biogenic chemical reactions. According to the aim of the experiment; sample preparation can vary from simple procedures such as filtration to more specific extraction protocols such as liquid-liquid extraction. Due to the lack of comprehensive studies on urine metabolome stability, higher storage temperatures (i.e. 4°C) and repetitive freeze-thaw cycles should be avoided. To date, among all analytical techniques, mass spectrometry (MS) provides the best sensitivity, selectivity and identification capabilities to analyze the majority of the metabolite composition in the urine. Combined with the qualitative and quantitative capabilities of MS, and due to the continuous improvements in its related technologies (i.e. ultra high-performance liquid chromatography [UPLC] and hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography [HILIC]), liquid chromatography (LC)-MS is unequivocally the most utilized and the most informative analytical tool employed in urine metabolomics. Furthermore, differential isotope tagging techniques has provided a solution to ion suppression from urine matrix thus allowing for quantitative analysis. In addition to LC-MS, other MS-based technologies have been utilized in urine metabolomics. These include direct injection (infusion)-MS, capillary electrophoresis-MS and gas chromatography-MS. In this article, the current progresses of different MS-based techniques in exploring the urine metabolome as well as the recent findings in providing potentially diagnostic urinary biomarkers are discussed. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Abstract
Studies have shown the potential for antibiotic uptake into food crops from irrigation water and soils containing pharmaceuticals. The objective of the present study was to develop and compare methods quantifying uptake of antibiotics in food crops. Four methods were evaluated: freeze-and-thaw cell lysing, mechanical maceration, tissue sonication, and microwave-assisted solvent extraction. Four antibiotics (ciprofloxacin, lincomycin, oxytetracycline, and sulfamethoxazole) were tested representing 4 classes of antibiotics. The methods were evaluated based on method detection limits, analyte recoveries, and sample preparation time. The 2 most viable methods, freeze-and-thaw lysing and mechanical maceration, were used on replicate lettuce (Lactuca sativa) samples grown using irrigation water spiked with 3 of the antibiotic contaminants. Only lincomycin and sulfamethoxazole were detected in lettuce samples at concentrations as high as 1757 ng/g and 425 ng/g, with detection limits of 57 ng/g and 35 ng/g, respectively. Freeze-and-thaw cell lysing provided the highest level of extraction efficiency on environmental samples and required the least amount of sample preparation while providing adequate detection limits and reproducible analyte recovery.

Abstract
We developed a methodology for the analysis of intracellular metabolites using nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometry (NMR), gas-chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and liquid chromatography coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). The main steps for analysis of adherent cells in order to recover the widest possible range of intracellular compounds are blocking metabolic activity by quenching and extraction of intracellular metabolites. We explored three protocols to quench NSC-34 cell metabolism and four different extraction methods, analyzed by NMR. On the basis of the number of metabolites extracted and their relative standard deviation (RSD) analyzed by NMR, the most reproducible protocol [quenching by MeOH at -40 °C and extraction with CH2Cl2/MeOH/H2O (3:3:2)] was used to obtain intracellular media to be analyzed by GC-MS and LC-HRMS. GC-MS analysis was optimized by three oximation procedures followed by silylation derivatization and these were compared to silylation alone. Using reversed-phase liquid chromatography (C18), four different gradients for LC-MS were compared. The analytical protocols were determined to establish the reliability and suitability of sample treatments required to achieve the correct biological analysis of untargeted mammalian cell metabolomics.

Abstract
Matrix effects that occur during quantitative measurement by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry specifically when using electrospray ionization are a widely recognized phenomenon. Sample matrix compounds affect the ionization process of the target analytes, lead to a low signal response, and flawed analytical results. How these matrix compounds directly influence the ionization process has not yet been completely understood. In the present study, we determined the matrix effect for 33 pharmaceutical substances in sample extracts of urine, plasma and wastewater. Most of the investigated substances were subject to a signal suppression effect. Only for a small subset of the compounds we detected a signal enhancement effect. We investigated the matrix effect profiles in detail to disentangle the influence of different matrices and to correlate the impact of specific components and groups of the analyzed extract in suppressing or enhancing effects in the profile. Most signal suppression effects were detected in the first half of the chromatographic run-time for the matrix extracts of urine and wastewater. The observed effects are caused by high mass flow of salts and other diverse matrix components that were contained in high concentrations in those biological matrices. We also found signal suppression in the matrix effect profile of plasma samples over a wide time range during the chromatographic separation that were associated with a high content of triglycerides of diverse carbohydrate chain lengths. Here, we provide a broader picture of how 33 substances were influenced during analysis. Our results imply that a high number of the investigated substances had comparable effects of matrix compounds, despite differences in their chemical structure.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry (MS) profiling techniques are used for analysing metabolites and xenobiotics in biofluids; however, detection of low abundance compounds using conventional MS techniques is poor. To counter this, nanoflow ultra-high-pressure liquid chromatography-nanoelectrospray ionization-time-of-flight MS (nUHPLC-nESI-TOFMS), which has been used primarily for proteomics, offers an innovative prospect for profiling small molecules. Compared to conventional UHPLC-ESI-TOFMS, nUHPLC-nESI-TOFMS enhanced detection limits of a variety of (xeno)metabolites by between 2 and 2000-fold. In addition, this study demonstrates for the first time excellent repeatability and reproducibility for analysis of urine and plasma samples using nUHPLC-nESI-TOFMS, supporting implementation of this platform as a novel approach for high-throughput (xeno)metabolomics.

Abstract
Selective inhibition of one kinase over another is a critical issue in drug development. For antimicrobial development, it is particularly important to selectively inhibit bacterial kinases, which can phosphorylate antimicrobial compounds such as aminoglycosides, without affecting human kinases. Previous work from our group showed the development of a MALDI-MS/MS assay for the detection of small molecule modulators of the bacterial aminoglycoside kinase APH3'IIIa. Herein, we demonstrate the development of an enhanced kinase MALDI-MS/MS assay involving simultaneous assaying of two kinase reactions, one for APH3'IIIa, and the other for human protein kinase A (PKA), which leads to an output that provides direct information on selectivity and mechanism of action. Specificity of the respective enzyme substrates were verified, and the assay was validated through generation of Z'-factors of 0.55 for APH3'IIIa with kanamycin and 0.60 for PKA with kemptide. The assay was used to simultaneously screen a kinase-directed library of mixtures of ten compounds each against both enzymes, leading to the identification of selective inhibitors for each enzyme as well as one non-selective inhibitor following mixture deconvolution.

Abstract
In the last several years, significant progress has been made in the development of microfluidic-based analytical technologies for proteomic and drug discovery applications. Chip-based nanoelectrospray coupled to a mass spectrometer detector is one of the recently developed analytical microscale technologies. This technology offers unique advantages for automated nanoelectrospray including reduced sample consumption, improved detection sensitivity and enhanced data quality for proteomic studies. This review presents an overview and introduction of recent developments in chip devices coupled to electrospray mass spectrometers including the development of the automated nanoelectrospray ionization chip device for protein characterization. Applications using automated chip-based nanoelectrospray ionization technology in proteomic and bioanalytical studies are also extensively reviewed in the fields of high-throughput protein identification, protein post-translational modification studies, top-down proteomics, biomarker screening by pattern recognition, noncovalent protein-ligand binding for drug discovery and lipid analysis. Additionally, future trends in chip-based nanoelectrospray technology are discussed.

Abstract
This review deals with chemical and technical challenges in the analysis of small-molecule metabolites involved in central carbon and energy metabolism via liquid-chromatography mass-spectrometry (LC-MS). The covered analytes belong to the prominent pathways in biochemical carbon oxidation such as glycolysis or the tricarboxylic acid cycle and, for the most part, share unfavorable properties such as a high polarity, chemical instability or metal-affinity. The topic is introduced by selected examples on successful applications of metabolomics in the clinic. In the core part of the paper, the structural features of important analyte classes such as nucleotides, coenzyme A thioesters or carboxylic acids are linked to "problematic hotspots" along the analytical chain (sample preparation and-storage, separation and detection). We discuss these hotspots from a chemical point of view, covering issues such as analyte degradation or interactions with metals and other matrix components. Based on this understanding we propose solutions wherever available. A major notion derived from these considerations is that comprehensive carbon metabolomics inevitably requires multiple, complementary analytical approaches covering different chemical classes of metabolites.

Abstract
BACKGROUND There continues to be consistent pressure for bioanalytical scientists to achieve lower limits of quantitation. The reasons range from smaller sample volumes available for analysis, to more potent analytes and the growth of biologics in drug development. This has led scientists to investigate alternative LC techniques, including microflow and nanoflow. These techniques have been shown to increase sensitivity of electrospray methods and reduce ionization matrix effects. Because high-resolution MS has significant benefits for the analysis of biologics, this type of mass spectrometer is becoming increasingly important in bioanalysis. RESULTS For microflow analysis, a new ion source and significant extra sample preparation or chromatographic separation are not required. However, increased sensitivity and reduced matrix effects were consistently demonstrated when compared with UHPLC flow rates. The extent of matrix effects observed were compound dependent. DISCUSSION This paper presents the utility of combining high-resolution/accurate mass with microflow LC from a quantitative standpoint. This includes evaluating the typical quantitative parameters of sensitivity, linearity/dynamic range, precision and accuracy. It also includes the evaluation of changes in signal suppression using microflow LC and microspray ionization. The benefits and disadvantages of using the combination of these two technologies for quantitative bioanalysis are also discussed.

Abstract
Background: Elevated IS response was observed in 22 out of 157 mouse plasma samples in a 3-month toxicity study. This initiated a root cause investigation. Results: Mass spectra revealed that taurocholic acid (TCA) was present in the samples, partially eluted overlapping the analyte peak. An enhanced IS response (>twofold) was reproduced by injecting TCA together with the IS. Tests with five other drug compounds showed compound dependent matrix effects on ESI; enhancement as well as suppression. The matrix effects did not affect the integrity of study results, most likely due to the use of a 13C-labeled IS. Conclusion: The variability of TCA levels in plasma as well as the observed instability of the chromatographic retention complicates the evaluation of TCA-induced matrix effects during method development. Thus, monitoring the IS response in incurred samples is a useful tool to evaluate the performance of a validated method.

Abstract
A miniature, planar, differential ion mobility spectrometer (DMS) was interfaced to an LCQ classic ion trap to conduct selective ion filtration prior to mass analysis in order to extend the dynamic range of the trap. Space charge effects are known to limit the functional ion storage capacity of ion trap mass analyzers and this, in turn, can affect the quality of the mass spectral data generated. This problem is further exacerbated in the analysis of mixtures where the indiscriminate introduction of matrix ions results in premature trap saturation with non-targeted species, thereby reducing the number of parent ions that may be used to conduct MS/MS experiments for quantitation or other diagnostic studies. We show that conducting differential mobility-based separations prior to mass analysis allows the isolation of targeted analytes from electrosprayed mixtures preventing the indiscriminate introduction of matrix ions and premature trap saturation with analytically unrelated species. Coupling these two analytical techniques is shown to enhance the detection of a targeted drug metabolite from a biological matrix. In its capacity as a selective ion filter, the DMS can improve the analytical performance of analyzers such as quadrupole (3D or linear) and ion cyclotron resonance (FT-ICR) ion traps that depend on ion accumulation.

Abstract
Mass spectrometric approaches have been fundamental to the identification of metabolites associated with steroid hormones, yet this topic has not been reviewed in depth in recent years. To this end, and given the increasing relevance of liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS) studies on steroid hormones and their metabolites, the present review addresses this subject. This review provides a timely summary of the use of various mass spectrometry-based analytical techniques during the evaluation of steroidal biomarkers in a range of human disease settings. The sensitivity and specificity of these technologies are clearly providing valuable new insights into breast cancer and cardiovascular disease. We aim to contribute to an enhanced understanding of steroid metabolism and how it can be profiled by LC-MS techniques.

Abstract
A challenge in coupling ion-pair chromatography (IPC) online with electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) is that the nonvolatile ion-pair reagent (e.g., alkyl sulfate for amines or tetrabutylammonium for carboxylic acids) in the mobile phase suppresses the ESI-MS signals in the gas phase and their accumulation can clog the MS sampling interface. Consequently, IPC-ESI-MS is conducted either with a volatile ion-pair reagent, which could compromise the analyte separation efficiency, or with a downstream ion-exchange column to rid the ion-pair reagents of the mobile phase. In the latter approach, the limited capacity of ion-exchange columns requires frequent off-line column regeneration, which affects the separation throughput and prohibits long separations from being performed. A dual-valve, dual-ion exchange column interface of IPC-ESI-MS is designed for undisrupted separations and simultaneous column regeneration. Owing to the efficacy in removing the ion-pair reagent, the detection of eluents of monoamine neurotransmitters by an ion trap MS results in the limits of detection of 0.03 μM for dopamine or DA and 0.01 μM for 5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT. These values are lower than those obtained with ion trap MS of similar sensitivity when combined with the use of specialized chromatographic columns or sample preconcentration. Excellent reproducibility was attained with repeatedly regenerated ion-exchange columns (RSD = 4-6%) for an extended period of time (RSD < 6% for 6 days). DA and 5-HT in rat straital extracts were analyzed, and our data demonstrate that interferences inherent in the tissues and the ion-pair reagent have been successfully eliminated. This simple interface should be readily amenable to the separation and MS analysis of other types of polar compounds in complex sample media.

Abstract
Background: In support of bioanalysis, there has always been a desire to improve detection limits and reduce scale. Microflow LC (MFLC) coupled with MS accomplishes both of these goals. Results: As such, MFLC coupled with an MS system was used to generate bioanalytical validation data that met US FDA criteria. The MFLC–MS/MS data was compared with the same method with the use of conventional HPLC–MS/MS and a more than 14× S/N improvement was found with the MFLC–MS/MS method. Methotrexate was used as a model molecule to demonstrate the validation of the method from human plasma. The MFLC–MS/MS method was demonstrated to be accurate (±7%) and precise (12.9% at the LLOQ and a maximum of 11.6% at all other concentrations) across the dynamic range of the assay (1–1000 ng/ml) and compared well with the HPLC–MS/MS method. The MFLC bioanalytical validation was performed at a flow rate of 35 µl/min on a 0.5-mm inner diameter (I.D.) column, whereas, for the same linear velocities on the 2.0-mm I.D. column, the conventional HPLC bioanalytical validation was performed at 700 µl/min. Since the flow rate of the MFLC system is 20-times less than the HPLC system, the consumable solvent and disposal cost to perform the MFLC validation was significantly less. Conclusion: MFLC–MS/MS can be used to perform bioanalytical method validations with increased MS signal, reduced source contamination and reduced solvent consumption.

Abstract
High-field asymmetric waveform ion mobility spectrometry (FAIMS) is an atmospheric pressure ion mobility technique that separates gas-phase ions by their behavior in strong and weak electric fields. FAIMS is easily interfaced with electrospray ionization and has been implemented as an additional separation mode between liquid chromatography (LC) and mass spectrometry (MS) in proteomic studies. FAIMS separation is orthogonal to both LC and MS and is used as a means of on-line fractionation to improve the detection of peptides in complex samples. FAIMS improves dynamic range and concomitantly the detection limits of ions by filtering out chemical noise. FAIMS can also be used to remove interfering ion species and to select peptide charge states optimal for identification by tandem MS. Here, the authors review recent developments in LC-FAIMS-MS and its application to MS-based proteomics.

Abstract
The consequences of matrix effects in mass spectrometry analysis are a major issue of concern to analytical chemists. The identification of any ion suppressing (or enhancing) agents caused by sample matrix, solvent or LC-MS system components should be quantified and measures should be taken to eliminate or reduce the problem. Taking account of ion suppression should form part of the optimisation and validation of any quantitative LC-MS method. For example the US Food and Drug Administration has included the evaluation of matrix effects in its "Guidance for Industry on Bioanalytical Method Validation" (F.D.A. Department of Health and Human Services, Guidance for industry on bioanalytical method validation, Fed. Regist. 66 (100) 2001). If ion suppression is not assessed and corrected in an analytical method, the sensitivity of the LC-MS method can be seriously undermined, and it is possible that the target analyte may be undetected even when using very sensitive instrumentation. Sample analysis may be further complicated in cases where there are large sample-to-sample matrix variations (e.g. blood samples from different people can sometimes vary in certain matrix components, shellfish tissue samples sourced from different regions where different phytoplankton food sources are present, etc) and therefore exhibit varying ion-suppression effects. Although it is widely agreed that there is no generic method to overcome ion suppression, the purpose of this review is to: provide an overview of how ion suppression occurs, outline the methodologies used to assess and quantify the impact of ion suppression, discuss the various corrective actions that have been used to eliminate ion suppression in sample analysis, that is to say the deployment of techniques that eliminate or reduce the components in the sample matrix that cause ion suppression. This review article aims to collect together the latest information on the causes of ion suppression in LC-MS analysis and to consider the efficacy of common approaches to eliminate or reduce the problem using relevant examples published in the literature.

Overcoming matrix effects in electrospray: quantitation of β-agonists in complex matrices by isotope dilution liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry using singly (13)C-labeled analogues. J Chromatogr A 2013; 1288:40-7. [PMID: 23523066 DOI: 10.1016/j.chroma.2013.02.074] [Citation(s) in RCA: 41] [Impact Index Per Article: 3.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/25/2012] [Revised: 02/12/2013] [Accepted: 02/24/2013] [Indexed: 10/27/2022]
Abstract
In this work, the implementation of isotope dilution mass spectrometry (IDMS) using minimal labeling and isotope pattern deconvolution (IPD) is evaluated as a strategy for the minimization of matrix effects during trace determination of β2-agonists in complex matrices by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS). First, the parameters affecting the measurement of isotopic composition of organic compounds by liquid chromatography electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry with a time-of-flight analyzer were evaluated using as a case of study three different β2-agonists: clenbuterol, clenproperol and brombuterol. Then, a calibration graph-free IDMS methodology was evaluated in order to overcome matrix effects in LC-ESI-MS in complex samples. In this procedure singly (13)C-labeled analogues of clenbuterol, clenproperol and brombuterol were employed in combination with IPD. Using this approach accurate and precise results were obtained in the simultaneous quantification of β2-agonists in human urine and bovine liver, even at the sub ngg(-1) and particularly in spite of the previously reported matrix effects. Recovery rates in the range of 97-114% in fortified human urine and from 95% to 111% in fortified bovine liver were obtained with RSD (%) of independent recovery experiments always lower than 6%. These results demonstrate that the proposed methodology based on the use of (13)C1-labeled standards and IPD is a reliable approach for accurate LC-MS quantitation of small molecules and compatible with full-scan high-resolution mass spectrometry.

JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2012; 23:2051-2054.

Abstract
A novel electrospray nebulizer has been designed, which includes an additional nebulization gas capillary inside the liquid capillary. This design offers significantly enhanced ionization efficiency compared with the classic nebulizer design and leads to improved sensitivity (by three to 10 times) and decreases the detection limit, on an average 10 times. We see these results as the first step in the design of ESI nebulizers offering improved sensitivity and higher robustness. Possible future developments would include optimization of the dimensions of the capillaries as well as testing the nebulizer for other matrices and analytes.
