Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Linear Ion Trap Hybrid OrbitrapMass Spectrometry for Determination of Alkaloids in Sinomeniumacutum.

ABSTRACT: The characterization of alkaloids is challenging because of the diversity of structures and the complicated fragmentation of collision induced structural dissociation in mass spectrometry. In this study, we analyzed the alkaloids in Sinomenium acutum (Thunb.) Rehderet Wil by high resolution mass spectrometry. Chromatographic separation was achieved on a Phenomenex Kinetex C18 (2.1 mm × 100 mm, 2.6 μm) column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water (0.1% formic acid) under gradient elution. A total of 52 alkaloids were well separated and 45 of them were structurally characterized, including morphinans, aporphines, benzylisoquinolines, and protoberberines. Specially, mass spectrometric study of the morphinan alkaloids were explicitly investigated. Electrostatic potential plot from simulation was calculated for determination of protonation sites. Further fragmentation analysis suggested that the C₃H₇N, CH₄O, and H₂O elimination was displayed in MS² spectrum. These fragmentation pathways are universal for morphinan alkaloids having methoxy substituted cyclohexenone or cyclohexadienone moieties. Additionally, for nitrogen oxides, an ion-neutral complex intermediate is involved in the fragmentation process, generating additional oxygenated ions. All these results provided the universal rules of fragmentation used for detection of alkaloids, and will be expected to be highly useful for comprehensive study of multi-components in the herbal medicine analysis.

Rapid Screening and Identification of Diterpenoids in Tinospora sinensis Based on High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Linear Ion Trap-Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Diterpenoids are considered the major active compounds in Tinospora sinensis in virtue of their special structures and activities. Herein, an analytical method was developed for rapid screening and identification of diterpenoids in T. sinensis using high-performmance liquid chromatography coupled with linear ion trap-Orbitrap mass spectrometry (HPLC-LTQ-Orbitrap) in negative ion mode. Two diterpenoid reference standards were first analyzed to obtain their characteristic ESI-MS/MS fragmentation patterns. Then, based on the extracted ion chromatogram (EIC) data-mining method and characteristic fragmentation pathways analysis, diterpenoids in T. sinensis were rapidly screened and identified. After that, an important parameter, Clog P, was adopted to discriminate between the isomers of diterpenoids. As a result, 63 diterpenoids were characterized from the extract of T. sinensis, including 10 diterpenoids and 53 diterpenoid glycosides. Among them, 15 compounds were tentatively identified as new compounds. Finally, target isolation of one diterpenoid glycoside named tinosineside A was performed based on the obtained results, which further confirmed the deduced fragmentation patterns and identified diterpenoid profile in T. sinensis. The results demonstrated that the established method could be a rapid, effective analytical tool for screening and characterization of diterpenoids in the complex systems of natural medicines.

Identification of Metabolites of the Cardioprotective Alkaloid Dehydrocorydaline in Rat Plasma and Bile by Liquid Chromatography Coupled with Triple Quadrupole Linear Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:Dehydrocorydaline (DHC), a quaternary alkaloid from Corydalis yanhusuo, has been demonstrated to be the active constituent in the treatment of coronary heart disease. In this study, a high-performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-triple quadrupole linear ion trap mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-QTRAP MS) technique was used to identify DHC metabolites in plasma and bile after oral administration of DHC to rats. A total of 18 metabolites (M1 to M18) were identified and characterized by LC-MS/MS in the positive ion mode. These 18 metabolites were all present in rat bile, while only 9 were detected in plasma. O-demethylation, hydroxylation, di-hydroxylation, glucuronidation of O-demethyl DHC, sulfation of O-demethyl DHC and di-hydroxylation of dehydro-DHC were the major metabolic pathways of DHC. This is the first time that these metabolites of DHC have been identified in rat plasma and bile, which provides useful information for further analysis of the biotransformation of DHC and other quaternary protoberberine-type alkaloids.

Multi-Steps Fragmentation-Ion Trap Mass Spectrometry Coupled to Liquid Chromatography Diode Array System for Investigation of Olaparib Related Substances.

Project description:A high-performance liquid chromatography-diode array-mass spectrometric (LC-DAD-MS) method was developed and validated to investigate the related substances of olaparib (OLA) in bulk form. OLA was exposed to acid⁻base hydrolysis, boiling, oxidation with hydrogen peroxide, and UV light followed by LC-DAD-MS analysis. OLA and OLA-related substances were simultaneously and quantitatively monitored by DAD at 278 nm and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QQQ-MS). The investigated compounds were auto-scanned by an ion trap MS which applied positive and negative modes separately. The fragmentation pathway was confirmed by applying multi-steps fragmentation to identify the resulted cleaved ions and their parent ion. OLA was found to be sensitive to the alkaline hydrolysis and less sensitive to UV light. Two major hydrolytic degradation products, including the protonated molar ions m/z 299 and m/z 367, were identified. Three potential impurities were also characterized. The LC-MS limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) were 0.01 and 0.05 ng/µL, respectively. The quantitative results obtained by LC-DAD was comparable with that of LC-QQQ-MS. The proposed method shows good intra-day and inter-day precision with relative standard deviation (RSD) <2%.

Differentiation of AB-FUBINACA and its five positional isomers using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-linear ion trap mass spectrometry and triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.

Project description:PurposePositional isomer differentiation is crucial for forensic analysis. The aim of this study was to differentiate AB-FUBINACA positional isomers using liquid chromatography (LC)-electrospray ionization (ESI)-linear ion trap mass spectrometry (LIT-MS) and LC-ESI-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (QqQ-MS).MethodsAB-FUBINACA, its two fluorine positional isomers on the phenyl ring, and three methyl positional isomers in the carboxamide side chain were analyzed by LC-ESI-LIT-MS and LC-ESI-QqQ-MS.ResultsFour of the positional isomers, excluding AB-FUBINACA and its 3-fluorobenzyl isomer, were chromatographically separated on an ODS column in isocratic mode. ESI-LIT-MS could discriminate only three isomers, i.e., the 2-fluorobenzyl isomer, the N-(1-amino-2-methyl-1-oxobutan-2-yl) isomer, and the N-(1-amino-1-oxobutan-2-yl)-N-methyl isomer, based on their characteristic product ions observed at the MS3 stage in negative mode. ESI-QqQ-MS differentiated all six isomers in terms of the relative abundances of the product ions that contained the isomeric moieties involved in collision-induced dissociation reactions. The six isomers were more clearly and significantly differentiated upon comparison of the logarithmic values of the product ion abundance ratios as a function of collision energy.ConclusionsThe present LC-MS methodologies were useful for the differentiation of a series of AB-FUBINACA positional isomers.

Determination of Neonicotinoid Pesticides in Propolis with Liquid Chromatography Coupled to Tandem Mass Spectrometry.

Project description:In this study, a method was developed for the determination of five neonicotinoid pesticides (acetamiprid, clothianidin, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, and thiamethoxam) in propolis. Two sample preparation methods were tested: solid-phase extraction and the quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe (QuEChERS) method. The identities of analytes were confirmed using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) in the selected reaction monitoring mode. Solid-phase extraction resulted in cleaner extracts; therefore, the SPE-LC-MS/MS method was validated according to the SANTE protocol in triplicate at two spiking levels (10 ng/g and 50 ng/g). The average recoveries of analytes ranged from 61% to 101%, except for clothianidin (10-20%). The LOD ranged from 0.2 ng/g to 4.4 ng/g, whereas the LOQ was in the range of 0.8 ng/g-14.7 ng/g. In order to compensate for the matrix effect, matrix-matched calibration was used. Good accuracy (relative error: 1.9-10.4%) and good linearity (R2 > 0.991) were obtained for all compounds. The optimised method was applied to 30 samples: 18 raw propolis and 12 ethanol tinctures. Acetamiprid, imidacloprid, and thiacloprid were detectable in seven samples but were still below the LOQ. This study is the first to report the determination of several neonicotinoid residues in propolis.

Plant lipidomics based on hydrophilic interaction chromatography coupled to ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry.

Project description:Plants synthesize a wide range of hydrophobic compounds, generally known as lipids. Here, we report an application of liquid chromatography ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-IT-TOF-MS) for plant lipidomics. Using hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) for class separation, typical membrane lipids including glycerolipids, steryl glucosides and glucosylceramides, and hydrophobic plant secondary metabolites such as saponins were analyzed simultaneously. By this method, we annotated approximately 100 molecules from Arabidopsis thaliana. To demonstrate the application of this method to biological study, we analyzed Arabidopsis mutant trigalactosyldiacylglycerol3 (tgd3), which has a complex metabolic phenotype including the accumulation of unusual forms of galactolipids. Lipid profiling by LC-MS revealed that tgd3 accumulated an unusual form of digalactosyldiacylglycerol, annotated as Gal(?1 ? 6)?GalDG. The compositional difference between normal and unusual forms of digalactosyldiacylglycerol was detected by this method. In addition, we analyzed well-known Arabidopsis mutants ats1-1, fad6-1, and fad7-2, which are also disrupted in lipid metabolic genes. Untargeted lipidome analysis coupled with multivariate analysis clearly discriminated the mutants and their distinctive metabolites. These results indicated that HILIC-MS is an efficient method for plant lipidomics.

The Pharmacokinetics, Tissue Distribution, Metabolism, and Excretion of Pinostrobin in Rats: Ultra-High-Performance Liquid Chromatography Coupled With Linear Trap Quadrupole Orbitrap Mass Spectrometry Studies.

Project description:Pinostrobin is a natural flavonoid found in various plants, well known for its wide range of pharmacological activities. However, there are few reports regarding the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, metabolism, and excretion of pinostrobin in rats after oral administration as a single compound. Therefore, we established a method using ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with linear trap quadrupole orbitrap mass spectrometry (UPLC-LTQ orbitrap-MS/MS) to determine pinostrobin and its metabolites in rat plasma, urine, feces, bile, and tissue homogenates. Pharmacokinetic parameters were measured. The large apparent volume of distribution implied that pinostrobin preferentially bound to tissues and preferably remained within the body. Based on previous pharmacological studies of its antiulcer, anti-HP, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant activities, pinostrobin is mostly distributed in the gastrointestinal tract, indicating its potential as an effective component of traditional Chinese medicines for the treatment of peptic ulcers. Furthermore, 30 flavonoid metabolites were screened using UPLC-LTQ orbitrap-MS/MS. The metabolism pathways (mainly hydroxylation, demethylation, glucuronidation, and sulfation) of pinostrobin in rats have also been proposed. A small amount of pinostrobin in its parent form is excreted through the urine, feces, and bile, indicating that it is mainly metabolized in vivo. In this study, we systemically investigated the pharmacokinetics, tissue distribution, metabolism, and excretion of pinostrobin in rats. Our results provide a significant basis for the clinical development and application of pinostrobin as well as traditional Chinese medicines containing pinostrobin.
