Development of a QuEChERS-Based UHPLC-MS/MS Method for Simultaneous Determination of Six Alternaria Toxins in Grapes.

ABSTRACT: A simple and reliable analytical method for the simultaneous determination of alternariol (AOH), altenuene (ALT), tentoxin (TEN), altenusin (ALS), tenuazonic acid (TeA), and alternariol monomethyl ether (AME) in grapes was developed by ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography?tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS). A modified QuEChERS (quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe) procedure with the extraction by acetonitrile and purification by sodium chloride (0.5 g) and anhydrous magnesium sulfate (0.5 g) was established to recover the six Alternaria toxins. After validation by determining the linearity (R² > 0.99), recovery (77.8?101.6%), sensitivity (limit of detection in the range of 0.03?0.21 ?g kg-1, and limit of quantification in the range of 0.09?0.48 ?g kg-1), and precision (relative standard deviation (RSD) ? 12.9%), the analytical method was successfully applied to reveal the contamination state of Alternaria toxins in grapes. Among 56 grape samples, 40 (incidence of 71.4%) were contaminated with Alternaria toxins. TEN was the most frequently found mycotoxin (37.5%), with a concentration range of 0.10?1.64 ?g kg-1, followed by TeA (28.6%) and AOH (26.8%). ALT (10.7%), AME (3.6%), and ALS (5.4%) were also detected in some samples. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report about the Alternaria toxins contamination in grapes in China.

Project description:A selective and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of ziyuglycoside I (I), 3?,19?-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic-acid 28-?-d-glucopyranosyl ester (II), 3?-[(?-l-arabinopyranosyl) oxy]-urs-12,18(19)-dien-28-oic acid ?-d-glucopyranosyl ester (III), rosamultin (IV), 1?-hydroxyeuscaphic acid (V) and alpinoside (VI) in rats after oral administration of Sanguisorba officinalis L. (S. officinalis) extract. The 3?,19?-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic-acid 28-?-d-glucopyranosyl ester, 3?-[(?-l-arabinopyranosyl) oxy]-urs-12,18(19)-dien-28-oic acid ?-d-glucopyranosyl ester, rosamultin, 1?-hydroxyeuscaphic acid and alpinoside in rat plasma were the first report in the pharmacokinetics study in the present study. The analytes were quantified using the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode with the electrospray ion source in positive electrospray ionization. Plasma was extracted with ethyl acetate via liquid?liquid extraction. Bifendate was used as internal standard (IS). The current method was validated for linearity, intra-day and inter-day precisions, accuracy, extraction recovery, matrix effect and stability. The lower limits of quantification of ziyuglycoside I, 3?,19?-dihydroxyurs-12-en-28-oic-acid 28-?-d-glucopyranosyl ester, 3?-[(?-l-arabinopyranosyl) oxy]-urs-12,18(19)-dien-28-oic acid ?-d-glucopyranosyl ester, rosamultin, 1?-hydroxyeuscaphic acid and alpinoside were 6.1, 4.9, 1.3, 3.8, 1.5 and 5.7 ng/mL, respectively. Intra-day and inter-day precision and the accuracy of the assay were in range from -9.48 to 12.74%. The extraction recoveries of analytes and bifendate (IS) from rat plasma ranged from 77.17% to 92.48%. Six compounds could be rapidly absorbed into blood (Tmax, 0.58?1.58 h), and then eliminated relatively slowly (t1/2, 6.86?11.63 h). The pharmacokinetic results might contribute to further guide the clinical application of S. officinalis.

Project description:One-carbon folate metabolites and one-carbon-related amino acids play an important role in human physiology, and their detection in biological samples is essential. However, poor stability as well as low concentrations and occurrence in different species in various biological samples make their quantification very challenging. The aim of this study was to develop a simple, fast, and sensitive ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography MS/MS (UHPLC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of various one-carbon folate metabolites (folic acid (FA), tetrahydrofolic acid (THF), p-aminobenzoyl-L-glutamic acid (pABG), 5-formyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-CHOTHF), 5-methyltetrahydrofolic acid (5-CH3THF), 10-formylfolic acid (10-CHOFA), 5,10-methenyl-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrofolic acid (5,10-CH+-THF), and 4-α-hydroxy-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (hmTHF)) and one-carbon-related amino acids (homocysteine (Hcy), methionine (Met), S-ade-L-homocysteine (SAH), and S-ade-L-methionine (SAM)). The method was standardized and validated by determining the selectivity, carryover, limits of detection, limits of quantitation, linearity, precision, accuracy, recovery, and matrix effects. The extraction methods were optimized with respect to several factors: protease-amylase treatment on embryos, deconjugation time, methanol precipitation, and proteins' isoelectric point precipitation on the folate recovery. Ten one-carbon folate metabolites and four one-carbon-related amino acids were detected using the UHPLC-MS/MS technique in various biological samples. The measured values of folate in human plasma, serum, and whole blood (WB) lay within the concentration range for normal donors. The contents of each analyte in mouse plasma were as follows: pABG (864.0 nmol/L), 5-CH3THF (202.2 nmol/L), hmTHF (122.2 nmol/L), Met (8.63 μmol/L), and SAH (0.06 μmol/L). The concentration of each analyte in mouse embryos were as follows: SAM (1.09 μg/g), SAH (0.13 μg/g), Met (16.5 μg/g), 5,10-CH+THF (74.3 ng/g), pABG (20.6 ng/g), and 5-CH3THF (185.4 ng/g). A simple and rapid sample preparation and UHPLC-MS/MS method was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of the one-carbon-related folate metabolites and one-carbon-related amino acids in different biological samples.
