Abstract
In this work an on-line monitoring method was developed to study the mechanism of acetic acid catalyzed reaction between aniline and acetonylacetone using extractive electorspray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (EESI-MS). The signals of reactants, intermediates and various byproducts were continuously detected as a function of reaction time. The chemical assignment of each signal was done via multi-stage collision induced dissociation (CID) analysis, and the reaction mechanism between aniline and acetonylacetone was deduced based on the generated molecular ions and fragment ions. The results indicate that on-line EESI-MS is an effective technique for the real time analysis of chemical reactions. EESI avoids off-line sample pretreatment and provides "soft" ionization, which allows direct analysis of various analytes at molecular level.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immuno-spin trapping (IST) is based on the reaction of a spin trap with a free radical to form a stable nitrone adduct, followed by the use of antibodies, rather than traditional electron paramagnetic resonance spectroscopy, to detect the nitrone adduct. IST has been successfully applied to mechanistic in vitro studies, and recently, macromolecule-centered radicals have been detected in models of drug-induced agranulocytosis, hepatotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, and ischemia/reperfusion, as well as in models of neurological, metabolic and immunological diseases. SCOPE OF THE REVIEW To critically evaluate advances, challenges, and pitfalls as well as the scientific opportunities of IST as applied to the study of protein-centered free radicals generated in stressed organelles, cells, tissues and animal models of disease and exposure. MAJOR CONCLUSIONS Because the spin trap has to be present at high enough concentrations in the microenvironment where the radical is formed, the possible effects of the spin trap on gene expression, metabolism and cell physiology have to be considered in the use of IST and in the interpretation of results. These factors have not yet been thoroughly dealt with in the literature. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The identification of radicalized proteins during cell/tissue response to stressors will help define their role in the complex cellular response to stressors and pathogenesis; however, the fidelity of spin trapping/immuno-detection and the effects of the spin trap on the biological system should be considered. This article is part of a Special Issue entitled Current methods to study reactive oxygen species - pros and cons and biophysics of membrane proteins. Guest Editor: Christine Winterbourn.

Abstract
Free radicals are conventionally detected by electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy after being trapped as spin adducts. Albeit this technique has demonstrated utmost efficacy in studying free radicals, its application to biological settings is intrinsically hampered by the inevitable bioreduction of radical-derived paramagnetic adducts. Herein, we describe a reliable technique to detect and quantify free radical metabolites, wherein reduced alkyl- and phenyl-5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide (DMPO) adducts are converted into ultrastable N-naphthoate esters. To mimic the ubiquitous in vivo microenvironment, bioreductants, exogenous thiols, and sodium borohydride were studied. Nitroxyl reduction was confirmed using EPR and triphenyltetrazolium chloride. The formation of the N-naphthoyloxy derivatives was established by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The derivatives were chromatographed using a binary eluent. HPLC and internal standards were synthesized using Grignard addition. The labeled DMPO adduct is (1) fluorescent, (2) stable as opposed to nitroxyl radical adducts, (3) biologically relevant, and (4) excellently chromatographed. Applications encompassed chemical, biochemical, and biological model systems generating C-centered radicals. Different levels of phenyl radicals produced in situ from whole blood were successfully determined. The method is readily applicable to the detection of hydroxyl radical. Analogously, DMPO, the spin trap, could be detected with extreme sensitivity suitable for in vivo applications. The developed method proved to be a viable alternative to EPR, where for the first time the reductive loss of paramagnetic signals of DMPO-trapped free radicals is transformed into fluorescence emission. We believe the proposed methodology could represent a valuable tool to probe free radical metabolites in vivo using DMPO, the least toxic spin trap.

Abstract
High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was hyphenated with a previously reported carbamazepine-specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) as a screening approach to water analysis in order to identify possible interferences from transformation products. Treated wastewater was analysed and three substances were recognized by the antibody besides carbamazepine: the metabolites 10,11-dihydro-10,11-epoxycarbamazepine and 2-hydroxycarbamazepine plus the structurally not obviously related antihistamine cetirizine. The molar cross-reactivity against cetirizine was found to be pH-dependent and assessed to be 400% at pH 4.5 and 22% at pH 10.5. Performing the ELISA at pH 10.5 greatly improved the accuracy when carbamazepine was determined in surface and wastewater samples.

Abstract
The electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometric behavior of five Stemona alkaloids, stemokerrin, oxystemokerrin, oxystemokerrilactone, oxystemokerrin N-oxide and stemokerrin N-oxide, was studied using an ESI tandem mass technique (MS(n)). These compounds, isolated from Stemona saxorum endemic in Vietnam, represent a class of alkaloids containing a pyrido[1,2-a]azepine A,B-ring core with a 1-hydroxypropyl side chain attached to C-4. Their fragmentation pathways were elucidated by ESI-MS(n) results and the elemental composition of the major product ions was confirmed by accurate mass measurement. In order to rationalize some fragmentation pathways, the relative Gibbs free energies of some product ions were estimated using the B3LYP/6-31+G(d) method. Based on the ESI-MS(n) results of five reference compounds, a reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (RP-HPLC/MS(n)) method was developed for the characterization of Stemona alkaloids with a pyrido[1,2-a]azepine A,B-ring core from the extract of S. saxorum. A total of 41 components were rapidly identified or tentatively characterized, of which 12 compounds were identified as Stemona alkaloids with a pyrido[1,2-a]azepine A,B-ring core, including four new compounds. This method is convenient and sensitive, especially for minor components in complex natural product extracts.

Abstract
Biomolecule-centered radicals are intermediate species produced during both reversible (redox modulation) and irreversible (oxidative stress) oxidative modification of biomolecules. These oxidative processes must be studied in situ and in real time to understand the molecular mechanism of cell adaptation or death in response to changes in the extracellular environment. In this regard, we have developed and validated immuno-spin trapping to tag the redox process, tracing the oxidatively generated modification of biomolecules, in situ and in real time, by detecting protein- and DNA-centered radicals. The purpose of this methods article is to introduce and update the basic methods and applications of immuno-spin trapping for the study of redox biochemistry in oxidative stress and redox regulation. We describe in detail the production, detection, and location of protein and DNA radicals in biochemical systems, cells, and tissues, and in the whole animal as well, by using immuno-spin trapping with the nitrone spin trap 5,5-dimethyl-1-pyrroline N-oxide.

Abstract
This study evaluates the use of a pyrroline (DEPMPO) and an imidazole (MCPIO) spin trap for the detection of hydroxyl and biomolecule (a peptide and a phospholipid) free radical adducts by Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry (ESI-MS). The hydroxyl and biomolecule free radical adducts were detected using a QTOF and a linear ion trap (LIT) mass spectrometers. In the presence of hydroxyl radical, the mass spectrum obtained for each of the spin traps, DEPMPO and MCPIO, showed the presence of ions that could be attributed to hydroxyl and peroxyl radicals. Further characterisation by tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) revealed also the presence of hydroxy-hydroxyl adducts. Based on the results here described, we show that DEPMPO is a better spin trap for free radicals trapping and detection by mass spectrometry mainly because adducts show increased signal intensity. The ESI-MS spectra obtained for DEPMPO and MCPIO in the presence of biomolecule radicals (peptide and phospholipid) show molecular ions of DEPMPO and MCPIO adducts, which were characterised by tandem mass spectrometry. Both carbon centered radicals and oxygen centered radicals were efficiently trapped by the two spin traps and analysis of QTOF-MS/MS mass spectra allowed the location of the radical position in either the peptide or in the phospholipid fatty acyl chain. However, the tandem mass spectra of MCPIO adducts were more informative than DEPMPO adducts. The LIT-MS/MS spectra only shows typical peptide and phospholipid fragmentation, which difficult the structural characterisation of the spin adduct. In this study, the DEPMPO and MCPIO adducts were identified either in the nitrone or in the hydroxylamine form, which are ESR silent forms. The results described here show that both spin traps coupled with detection by mass spectrometry are valuable tools for trapping radicals of biomolecules. Furthermore, the acquired data provide valuable information on the presence of adducts (hydroxyl and biomolecule) that are Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) silent. This is especially important considering the complexity of the radical species in biological environment and the presence of reducing compounds that convert the spin adducts to silent ESR forms.

Abstract
Lactoperoxidase (LPO) is believed to serve as a mediator of host defense against invading pathogens. The protein is more abundant in body fluids such as milk, saliva, and tears. Lactoperoxidase is known to mediate the oxidation of halides and (pseudo)halides in the presence of hydrogen peroxide to reactive intermediates presumably involved in pathogen killing. More recently, LPO has been shown to oxidize a wide diversity of thiol compounds to thiyl free radicals, which ultimately lead to the formation of a protein radical characterized by DMPO-immunospin trapping. In the same study by our group the authors claimed that a consequence of this protein radical formation was the inactivation of LPO (Guo et al., J. Biol. Chem.279:13272-13283; 2004). Here we demonstrate that although thiyl radical formation does lead to LPO radical production, the formation of this radical is unrelated to the enzyme's activity. We suggest the source of this misleading interpretation to be the binding of GSH to ELISA plates, which interferes with ABTS and guaiacol oxidation. In addition, DMPO-GSH-nitrone adducts bind to ELISA plates, leading to ambiguities of interpretation since we have demonstrated that DMPO-GSH nitrone does not bind to LPO, and only LPO-protein-DMPO-nitrone adducts can be detected by Western blot.

Abstract
Metabolic activation of a drug leading to reactive metabolite(s) that can covalently modify proteins is considered an initial step that may lead to drug-induced organ toxicities. Characterization of reactive metabolites is critical to designing new drug candidates with an improved toxicological profile. High performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with mass spectrometry (MS) predominates over all analytical tools used for screening and characterization of reactive metabolites. In this review, a brief description of experimental approaches employed for assessing reactive metabolites is followed by a discussion on the reactivity of acyl glucuronides and acyl coenzyme A thioesters. Techniques for high-throughput screening and quantitation of reactive metabolite formation are also described, along with proteomic approaches used to identify protein targets and modification sites by reactive metabolites. Strategies for dealing with reactive metabolites are reviewed. In conclusion, we discuss the challenges and future needs in this field of research.
