Unravelling the brain metabolome: A review of liquid chromatography - mass spectrometry strategies for extracellular brain metabolomics. J Chromatogr A 2023; 1712:464479.

Abstract
The analysis of the brain extracellular metabolome is of interest for numerous subdomains within neuroscience. Not only does it provide information about normal physiological functions, it is even more of interest for biomarker discovery and target discovery in disease. The extracellular analysis of the brain is particularly interesting as it provides information about the release of mediators in the brain extracellular fluid to look at cellular signaling and metabolic pathways through the release, diffusion and re-uptake of neurochemicals. In vivo samples are obtained through microdialysis, cerebral open-flow microperfusion or solid-phase microextraction. The analytes of potential interest are typically low in concentration and can have a wide range of physicochemical properties. Liquid chromatography coupled to mass spectrometry has proven its usefulness in brain metabolomics. It allows sensitive and specific analysis of low sample volumes, obtained through different approaches. Several strategies for the analysis of the extracellular fluid have been proposed. The most widely used approaches apply sample derivatization, specific stationary phases and/or hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography. Miniaturization of these methods allows an even higher sensitivity. The development of chiral metabolomics is indispensable, as it allows to compare the enantiomeric ratio of compounds and provides even more challenges. Some limitations continue to exist for the previously developed methods and the development of new, more sensitive methods remains needed. This review provides an overview of the methods developed for sampling and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the extracellular metabolome.

In vivo solid phase microextraction for therapeutic monitoring and pharmacometabolomic fingerprinting of lung during in vivo lung perfusion of FOLFOX. J Pharm Anal 2023; 13:1195-1204. [PMID: 38024854 PMCID: PMC10657970 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpha.2023.04.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2022] [Revised: 04/04/2023] [Accepted: 04/08/2023] [Indexed: 12/01/2023] Open
Abstract
In vivo lung perfusion (IVLP) is a novel isolated lung technique developed to enable the local, in situ administration of high-dose chemotherapy to treat metastatic lung cancer. Combination therapy using folinic acid (FOL), 5-fluorouracil (F), and oxaliplatin (OX) (FOLFOX) is routinely employed to treat several types of solid tumours in various tissues. However, F is characterized by large interpatient variability with respect to plasma concentration, which necessitates close monitoring during treatments using of this compound. Since plasma drug concentrations often do not reflect tissue drug concentrations, it is essential to utilize sample-preparation methods specifically suited to monitoring drug levels in target organs. In this work, in vivo solid-phase microextraction (in vivo SPME) is proposed as an effective tool for quantitative therapeutic drug monitoring of FOLFOX in porcine lungs during pre-clinical IVLP and intravenous (IV) trials. The concomitant extraction of other endogenous and exogenous small molecules from the lung and their detection via liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) enabled an assessment of FOLFOX's impact on the metabolomic profile of the lung and revealed the metabolic pathways associated with the route of administration (IVLP vs. IV) and the therapy itself. This study also shows that the immediate instrumental analysis of metabolomic samples is ideal, as long-term storage at -80 °C results in changes in the metabolite content in the sample extracts.

Metabolomic fingerprinting of porcine lung tissue during pre-clinical prolonged ex vivo lung perfusion using in vivo SPME coupled with LC-HRMS. J Pharm Anal 2022; 12:590-600.

Abstract
Normothermic ex vivo lung perfusion (NEVLP) has emerged as a modernized organ preservation technique that allows for detailed assessment of donor lung function prior to transplantation. The main goal of this study was to identify potential biomarkers of lung function and/or injury during a prolonged (19 h) NEVLP procedure using in vivo solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technology followed by liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS). The use of minimally invasive in vivo SPME fibers for repeated sampling of biological tissue permits the monitoring and evaluation of biochemical changes and alterations in the metabolomic profile of the lung. These in vivo SPME fibers were directly introduced into the lung and were also used to extract metabolites (on-site SPME) from fresh perfusate samples collected alongside lung samplings. A subsequent goal of the study was to assess the feasibility of SPME as an in vivo method in metabolomics studies, in comparison to the traditional in-lab metabolomics workflow. Several upregulated biochemical pathways involved in pro- and anti-inflammatory responses, as well as lipid metabolism, were observed during extended lung perfusion, especially between the 11th and 12th hours of the procedure, in both lung and perfusate samples. However, several unstable and/or short-lived metabolites, such as neuroprostanes, have been extracted from lung tissue in vivo using SPME fibers. On-site monitoring of the metabolomic profiles of both lung tissues through in vivo SPME and perfusate samples on site throughout the prolonged NEVLP procedure can be effectively performed using in vivo SPME technology. In vivo SPME monitors metabolic changes in porcine lung during 19-h NEVLP. On-site SPME for perfusate sampling monitors metabolite composition during NEVLP. SPME-LC-HRMS permits identification of potential metabolic markers of lung function. Stored perfusate provides less relevant metabolome information compared to on-site perfusate samples. In vivo SPME of the lung provides more metabolomic information than perfusate sampling.

Abstract
Sol-gel materials have been widely used for solid-phase microextraction (SPME) coatings due to their outstanding performance; in contrast, sol-gel SPME coatings have seldom been used for in vivo sampling. The main reason is that their matrix compatibility is unclear. In order to promote the application of this type of coating and accelerate the development of in vivo SPME, in this study, the matrix compatibility of several typical sol-gel coatings was assessed in plasma and whole blood using phthalic acid esters as analytes. The service life of five kinds of sol-gel coatings was among 20-35 times in undiluted plasma, while it was 27 times for a homemade commercial polydimethylsiloxane coating, which indicates good matrix compatibility of sol-gel coatings in untreated plasma. The sol-gel hydroxy-terminated silicone oil/methacrylic acid fiber achieved the highest extraction ability among all of the fibers, and it was tested in pig whole blood. It could be continuously used for at least 22 times, demonstrating good potential for in vivo sampling. Subsequently, a direct-immersion SPME/gas chromatography-flame ionization detection method was established for the determination of 5 phthalic acid esters in blood. Compared with other methods reported in the literature, this method is rapid, simple, sensitive, and accurate, and does not need expensive instruments or tedious procedures. A simulation system of animal blood circulation was constructed to verify the practicability of sol-gel SPME coatings in animal vein sampling. The result illustrated the feasibility of that coating for in vivo blood sampling, but a more accurate quantification calibration approach needs to be explored.

Abstract
Bladder cancer (BC) is a common malignancy of the urinary system and a leading cause of death worldwide. In this work, untargeted metabolomic profiling of biological fluids is presented as a non-invasive tool for bladder cancer biomarker discovery as a first step towards developing superior methods for detection, treatment, and prevention well as to further our current understanding of this disease. In this study, urine samples from 24 healthy volunteers and 24 BC patients were subjected to metabolomic profiling using high throughput solid-phase microextraction (SPME) in thin-film format and reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with a Q Exactive Focus Orbitrap mass spectrometer. The chemometric analysis enabled the selection of metabolites contributing to the observed separation of BC patients from the control group. Relevant differences were demonstrated for phenylalanine metabolism compounds, i.e., benzoic acid, hippuric acid, and 4-hydroxycinnamic acid. Furthermore, compounds involved in the metabolism of histidine, beta-alanine, and glycerophospholipids were also identified. Thin-film SPME can be efficiently used as an alternative approach to other traditional urine sample preparation methods, demonstrating the SPME technique as a simple and efficient tool for urinary metabolomics research. Moreover, this study's results may support a better understanding of bladder cancer development and progression mechanisms.

Abstract
A simple and reliable method was developed and validated to determine the endocannabinoids anandamide (AEA) and 2-arachidonoylglycerol (2-AG) in rat brain samples by micro salting-out assisted liquid-liquid extraction combined with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (SALLLE/UHPLC-MS/MS). The SALLE parameters (brain homogenate volume, salting-out agent, salt concentration, salt solution volume, organic solvent, organic solvent volume, and centrifugation temperature) were optimized to improve sensitivity and selectivity of the method. The SALLE/UHPLC-MS/MS method presented linear ranges from 2.00 to 20.00 ng mL-1 for AEA and from 0.300 to 10.00 μg mL-1 for 2-AG, no significant matrix effect, and inter- and intra-assay precision and accuracy with CV and RSE values lower than 15%, respectively. This innovative method was successfully applied to determine AEA and 2-AG in brain hemispheres from a 6-OHDA animal model of Parkinson's disease (PD).

Abstract
Development of a novel in vivo lung perfusion (IVLP) procedure allows localized delivery of high-dose doxorubicin (DOX) for targeting residual micrometastatic disease in the lungs. However, DOX delivery via IVLP requires careful monitoring of drug level to ensure tissue concentrations of this agent remain in the therapeutic window. A small dimension nitinol wire coated with a sorbent of biocompatible morphology (Bio-SPME) has been clinically evaluated for in vivo lung tissue extraction and determination of DOX and its key metabolites. The in vivo Bio-SPME-IVLP experiments were performed on pig model over various (150 and 225 mg/m2) drug doses, and during human clinical trial. Two patients with metastatic osteosarcoma were treated with a single 5 and 7 μg/mL (respectively) dose of DOX during a 3-h IVLP. In both pig and human cases, DOX tissue levels presented similar trends during IVLP. Human lung tissue concentrations of drug ranged between 15 and 293 μg/g over the course of the IVLP procedure. In addition to DOX levels, Bio-SPME followed by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis generated 64 metabolic features during endogenous metabolite screening, providing information about lung status during drug administration. Real-time monitoring of DOX levels in the lungs can be performed effectively throughout the IVLP procedure by in vivo Bio-SPME chemical biopsy approach. Bio-SPME also extracted various endogenous molecules, thus providing a real-time snapshot of the physiology of the cells, which might assist in the tailoring of personalized treatment strategy.

Abstract
The limiting factor in conventional quality assessments of transplanted organs, namely the invasiveness of tissue sample collection, has prompted much research on the field of transplantology to focus on the development of alternative evaluation methods of organ quality. In the present project, we undertake the challenge to address the need for a new analytical solution for graft quality assessments by using a novel metabolomic diagnostic protocol based on low-invasive solid-phase microextraction. Solid-phase microextraction probes of ca. 0.2 mm coated with 4 mm long mixed-mode extraction phase were inserted into rabbit kidneys immediately following euthanasia and after 2, 4, 6, and 21 h of preservation. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry analysis of the extracts was performed with the use of a reversed phase column and a Q-Exactive Focus mass spectrometer operated in positive ionization mode. Statistical analysis of significantly changing compounds revealed metabolic profile changes in kidneys induced by ischemia and oxidative stress as a function of the duration of cold storage. The most pronounced alterations were reflected in levels of essential amino acids and purine nucleosides. Our findings demonstrate that the proposed approach may be successfully used to monitor changes in the metabolic profile of organs over time of preservation.

Abstract
Aim: Solid-phase microextraction is proposed to measure concentrations of anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol in live rat brains in response to stress. Materials & methods: Solid-phase microextraction fibers were prepared from steel with 1.5 mm extraction coating. 24 male rats were divided into groups based on brain region, stria terminalis or posterior hypothalamus and loud noise or control groups. The fibers were desorbed in acetonitrile-water (75:25) and analyzed by ultraperformance LC-MS/MS. The linear range of the method was 0.05-50 ng/ml and the in vivo concentrations were found to be between 0.3 and 40 ng/ml. Conclusion: The new approach was successfully used to determine the concentrations of anandamide and 2-arachidonoyl glycerol in vivo and could be used in the future to measure other endogenous compounds.

Abstract
Coated blade spray (CBS) is a solid-phase microextraction-based technology that can be directly coupled to MS to enable the rapid qualitative and quantitative analysis of complex matrices. The goal of this mini review is to concisely introduce CBS's operational fundamentals and to consider how it correlates/contrasts with existing direct-to-MS technologies suitable for bioanalytical applications. In addition, we provide a fair comparison of CBS to other existing solid-phase microextraction-to-MS approaches, as well as an overview of recent CBS applications/strategies that have been developed to analyze diverse compounds present in biofluids.

Abstract
This study presents new thin-film solid phase microextraction (SPME) devices prepared on plastic as potential single-use samplers for bioanalysis. Polybutylene terephthalate (PBT) was selected as a support due to its well-known chemical resistance, low cost, and suitability as a material for different medical grade components. The herein proposed samplers were prepared by applying a hydrophilic-lipophilic balanced (HLB)-polyacrylonitrile (PAN) coating on rounded and flat PBT pieces previously sanded with regular sandpaper. SPME devices prepared on PBT were evaluated in terms of robustness, chemical stability, and possible interferences upon exposure to different solvents and matrixes. Rewarding results were found when these samplers were employed for the quantitative analysis of multiple doping substances in common biological matrixes such as urine, plasma, and whole blood. Finally, the proposed thin-film SPME devices made on a PBT were evaluated by conducting multiple extractions from whole blood and plasma using the Concept 96 system. Results showed that more than 20 extractions from plasma and whole blood can be performed without observed decreases in coating performance or peeling of the extraction phase from the plastic surface. These findings demonstrate the robustness of PAN-based coatings applied on such polymeric substrate and open up the possibility of introducing new alternatives and cost-effective materials as support to manufacture SPME biocompatible devices for a wide range of applications, particularly in the clinical field.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A new sample preparation method termed supported liquid-phase microextraction is proposed. With this technique, the extraction phase is a liquid immobilized inside the pores of a membrane coated on a solid support. METHODOLOGY Supported liquid-phase microextraction probes were prepared by coating wires with porous polyacrylonitrile followed by saturation with 1-octanol. The probes were introduced inside hypodermic needles and used for in vivo extraction of oxybutynin from the blood and tissues of rabbits. The linear range of the method was from 0.5 to 500 ng/ml. CONCLUSION The proposed method was successfully applied to monitor the PK profile of oxybutynin. The drug followed a two-compartment model, with a volume of distribution of 14 l/kg and a half-life of 76 min.

Abstract
Solid phase microextraction (SPME) is well-established technology in bioanalysis. Current review discusses the features of SPME, which determine the non- or low-invasiveness of the method in biomedical analysis. In the first section we analyze the factors, which have significant influence on the SPME sampling device performance in the view of sampling safety and efficiency. In the later sections applicability of various SPME approaches for analysis of easily accessible samples routinely used for analysis (e.g., urine, blood) as well as limited availability samples (tissues) is discussed. Moreover, the examples of sampling alternative matrices such as hair, saliva, sweat or breath are presented. The advantages and limitation of the technology in the view of future development of SPME are also reviewed.

Abstract
Metabolomics, as a part of systems biology, has been widely applied in different fields of life science by studying the endogenous metabolites. The development and applications of liquid chromatography (LC) coupled with high resolution mass spectrometry (MS) greatly improve the achievable data quality in non-targeted metabolic profiling. However, there are still some emerging challenges to be covered in LC-MS based metabolomics. Here, recent approaches about sample collection and preparation, instrumental analysis, and data handling of LC-MS based metabolomics are summarized, especially in the analysis of clinical samples. Emphasis is put on the improvement of analytical techniques including the combination of different LC columns, isotope coded derivatization methods, pseudo-targeted LC-MS method, new data analysis algorithms and structural identification of important metabolites.

Abstract
In this publication, a novel solid phase microextraction (SPME) coating functionalized with a DNA aptamer for selective enrichment of a low abundance protein from diluted human plasma is described. This approach is based on the covalent immobilization of an aptamer ligand on electrospun microfibers made with the hydrophilic polymer poly(acrylonitrile-co-maleic acid) (PANCMA) on stainless steel rods. A plasma protein, human α-thrombin, was employed as a model protein for selective extraction by the developed Apt-SPME probe, and the detection was carried out with liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The SPME probe exhibited highly selective capture, good binding capacity, high stability and good repeatability for the extraction of thrombin. The protein selective probe was employed for direct extraction of thrombin from 20-fold diluted human plasma samples without any other purification. The Apt-SPME method coupled with LC-MS/MS provided a good linear dynamic range of 0.5-50 nM in diluted human plasma with a good correlation coefficient (R(2)=0.9923), and the detection limit of the proposed method was found to be 0.30 nM. Finally, the Apt-SPME coupled with LC-MS/MS method was successfully utilized for the determination of thrombin in clinical human plasma samples. One shortcoming of the method is its reduced efficiency in undiluted human plasma compared to the standard solution. Nevertheless, this new aptamer affinity-based SPME probe opens up the possibility of selective enrichment of a given targeted protein from complex sample either in vivo or ex vivo.

Abstract
Sample preparation is an important step of any biomedical analysis. Development and validation of fast, reproducible and reliable sample preparation methods would be very helpful in increasing productivity. Except for a few direct injection methods, almost all biological samples should at least be diluted before any analysis. Sometimes dilution is not possible because of the low concentration of the target analyte in the sample, and alternative pretreatments, such as filtration, precipitation and sample clean up using different extraction methods, are needed. This review focuses on the recent achievements in the pretreatment of biological samples and investigates them in six categories (i.e., dilution, filtration/dialysis, precipitation, extraction [solid-phase extraction, liquid–liquid extraction], novel techniques [turbulent flow chromatography, immunoaffinity method, electromembrane extraction] and combined methods). Each category will be discussed according to its productivity rate and suitability for routine analysis, and the discussed methods will be compared according to the mentioned indices.

Abstract
The techniques currently used for drug, metabolite, and biomarker determination are based on sample collection, and therefore they are not suitable for repeated analysis because of the high invasiveness. Here, we present a novel method of biochemical analysis directly in organ during operation without need of a separate sample collection step: solid-phase microextraction (SPME). The approach is based on flexible microprobe coated with biocompatible extraction phase that is inserted to the tissue with no damage or disturbance of the organ. The method was evaluated during lung and liver transplantations using normothermic ex vivo liver perfusion (NEVLP) and ex vivo lung perfusion (EVLP). The study demonstrated feasibility of the method to extract wide range of endogenous compounds and drugs. Statistical analysis allowed observing metabolic changes of lung during cold ischemic time, perfusion, and reperfusion. It was also demonstrated that the level of drugs and their metabolites can be monitored over time. Based on the methylprednisolone as a selected example, the impairment of enzymatic properties of liver was detected in the injured organs but not in healthy control. This finding was supported by changes in pathways of endogenous metabolites. The SPME probe was also used for analysis of perfusion fluid using stopcock connection. The evaluation of biochemical profile of perfusates demonstrated potential of the approach for monitoring organ function during ex vivo perfusion. The simplicity of the device makes it convenient to use by medical personnel. With the microprobe, different areas of the organ or various organs can be sampled simultaneously. The technology allows assessment of organ function by biochemical profiling, determination of potential biomarkers, and drug monitoring. The use of this method for preintervention analysis could enhance the decision-making process for the best possible personalized approach, whereas post-transplantation monitoring would be used for graft assessments and fast response in case of organ failure.

Abstract
The extraction and/or purification of drugs and medicines from biological matrices are important objectives in investigating their toxicological and pharmaceutical properties. Many widely used methods such as liquid–liquid extraction or SPE, used for extracting, purifying and enriching drugs and medicines found in biological materials, involve laborious, intensive and expensive preparatory procedures, and they require organic solvents that are toxic to both humans and the environment. Recent trends are focused on miniaturization, high-throughput and automation techniques. All the advantages and disadvantages of these techniques and devices in biological analysis are presented, and their applications in the extraction and/or purification of drugs and medicines from biological matrices are discussed in this review.
