LC-MS/MS Method Development for the Discovery and Identification of Amphidinols Produced by Amphidinium.

ABSTRACT: Amphidinols are polyketides produced by dinoflagellates suspected of causing fish kills. Here, we demonstrate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the identification and quantification of amphidinols (AM). Novel AM were detected by neutral loss (NL) scan and then quantified together with known AM by selection reaction monitoring (SRM). With the new method, AM were detected in four of eight analyzed strains with a maximum of 3680 fg toxin content per cell. In total, sixteen novel AM were detected by NL scan and characterized via their fragmentation patterns. Of these, two substances are glycosylated forms. This is the first detection of glycosylated AM.

LC-MS/MS Method for Serum Creatinine: Comparison with Enzymatic Method and Jaffe Method.

Project description:Accurate quantification of creatinine (Cre) is important to estimate glomerular filtration rate (GFR). Differences among various methods of Cre quantification were previously noted. This study aims to develop a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for serum Cre and compare this method with clinical routine methods. LC-MS/MS analysis was performed on API 4000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer coupled with an Agilent 1200 liquid chromatography system. After adding isotope-labeled Cre-d3 as internal standard, serum samples were prepared via a one-step protein precipitation with methanol. The LC-MS/MS method was compared with frequently used enzymatic method and Jaffe method. This developed method, with a total run time of 3 min, had a lower limit of quantification of 4.4 μmol/L, a total imprecision of 1.15%-3.84%, and an average bias of 1.06%. No significant matrix effect, carryover, and interference were observed for the LC-MS/MS method. The reference intervals of serum Cre measured by LC-MS/MS assay were 41-79 μmol/L for adult women, and 46-101 μmol/L for adult men. Using LC-MS/MS as a reference, the enzymatic method showed an average bias of -2.1% and the Jaffe method showed a substantial average bias of 11.7%. Compared with the LC-MS/MS method, significant negative bias was observed for the enzymatic and Jaffe methods in hemolytic and lipimic samples. We developed a simple, specific, and accurate LC-MS/MS method to analyze serum Cre. Discordance existed among different methods.

Lipid Discovery by Combinatorial Screening and Untargeted LC-MS/MS.

Project description:We present a method for the systematic identification of picogram quantities of new lipids in total extracts of tissues and fluids. It relies on the modularity of lipid structures and applies all-ions fragmentation LC-MS/MS and Arcadiate software to recognize individual modules originating from the same lipid precursor of known or assumed structure. In this way it alleviates the need to recognize and fragment very low abundant precursors of novel molecules in complex lipid extracts. In a single analysis of rat kidney extract the method identified 58 known and discovered 74 novel endogenous endocannabinoids and endocannabinoid-related molecules, including a novel class of N-acylaspartates that inhibit Hedgehog signaling while having no impact on endocannabinoid receptors.

Development of a Novel Targeted Metabolomic LC-QqQ-MS Method in Allergic Inflammation.

Project description:The transition from mild to severe allergic phenotypes is still poorly understood and there is an urgent need of incorporating new therapies, accompanied by personalized diagnosis approaches. This work presents the development of a novel targeted metabolomic methodology for the analysis of 36 metabolites related to allergic inflammation, including mostly sphingolipids, lysophospholipids, amino acids, and those of energy metabolism previously identified in non-targeted studies. The methodology consisted of two complementary chromatography methods, HILIC and reversed-phase. These were developed using liquid chromatography, coupled to triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (LC-QqQ-MS) in dynamic multiple reaction monitoring (dMRM) acquisition mode and were validated using ICH guidelines. Serum samples from two clinical models of allergic asthma patients were used for method application, which were as follows: (1) corticosteroid-controlled (ICS, n = 6) versus uncontrolled (UC, n = 4) patients, and immunotherapy-controlled (IT, n = 23) versus biologicals-controlled (BIO, n = 12) patients. The results showed significant differences mainly in lysophospholipids using univariate analyses in both models. Multivariate analysis for model 1 was able to distinguish both groups, while for model 2, the results showed the correct classification of all BIO samples within their group. Thus, this methodology can be of great importance for further understanding the role of these metabolites in allergic diseases as potential biomarkers for disease severity and for predicting patient treatment response.

Positive/negative ion-switching-based LC-MS/MS method for quantification of cytosine derivatives produced by the TET-family 5-methylcytosine dioxygenases.

Project description:Cytosine methylation at carbon-5 (5mC) in DNA plays crucial roles in epigenetic transcriptional regulation during metazoan development. The iron (II), 2-oxoglutarate-dependent Ten-Eleven Translocation (TET)-family dioxygenases initiate active demethylation of 5mC. TET2 oxidizes 5mC in nucleic acids into 5-hydroxymethylcytosine, 5-formylcytosine, and 5-carboxylcytosine by iterative oxidation. Mutations in the TET2 gene are frequently detected in myeloid malignancies. Despite the established and emerging roles of TET oxygenases in health and diseases, in vitro characterization of these enzymes and their mutants is still in rudimentary stages. Here, we describe an improved positive/negative ion-switching-based liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method that can separate and quantify modified cytosine bases produced by TET-family 5-methylcytosine dioxygenases. This method will help in further elucidate the function of epigenetically important cytosine modifications. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study reporting ion-switching-based LC-MS/MS method to analyse cytosine variants produced in TET catalysed reactions.

Development of a multi-mycotoxin LC-MS/MS method for the determination of biomarkers in pig urine.

Project description:An LC-MS/MS method has been developed for the sensitive and selective determination of 35 mycotoxins (biomarkers of exposure) in pig urine samples. Sample preparation includes creatinine adjustment (with the developed LC-UV method) with enzymatic hydrolysis of pig urine samples followed by liquid-liquid (LLE) extraction. The LLE protocol, as well as enzymatic hydrolysis for indirect mycotoxin glucuronides determination, was optimized in this study. Additionally, two other sample preparation protocols were compared with the developed LLE method: immunoaffinity columns and solid-phase extraction cartridges (Oasis HLB). The detection and quantification of the biomarkers were performed using triple quadrupole mass spectrometry.The method was validated with regard to the guidelines specified by the EMEA (European Medicines Agency). The extraction recoveries were higher than 60% for 77% of the analytes studied, with the intra- and inter-day relative standard deviation being lower than 20% for most of the compounds at four different concentration levels. The limits of quantification ranged from 0.1 ng/mL for zearalenone and sterigmatocystin to 8 ng/mL for nivalenol. To the best knowledge of the authors, the matrix effect was evaluated for the first time in this study for six different urine samples, and the coefficient of variation was found to be lower than 15% for most analytes studied. Finally, the developed method was applied to analyse 56 pig urine samples. Deoxynivalenol (1-20 ng/mL), zearalenone (0.1-1.5 ng/mL) and ochratoxin A (1.5-15 ng/mL) were the main analytes detected in these samples. Moreover, the co-occurrence of alternariol monomethyl ether and alternariol in pig urine is reported herein for the first time.

Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for the determination of biogenic amines in wines and beers.

Project description:Biogenic amines are group of organic, basic, nitrogenous compounds that naturally occur in plant, microorganism, and animal organisms. Biogenic amines are mainly produced through decarboxylation of amino acids. They are formed during manufacturing of some kind of food and beverages such as cheese, wine, or beer. Histamine, cadaverine, agmatine, tyramine, putrescine, and β-phenylethylamine are the most common biogenic amines found in wines and beers. This group of compounds can be toxic at high concentrations; therefore, their control is very important. Analysis of biogenic amines in alcoholic drinks (beers and wines) was carried out by HPLC-MS/MS after their derivatization with p-toluenesulfonyl chloride (tosyl chloride). The developed method has been applied for analysis of seventeen biogenic amines in twenty-eight samples of lager beers and in twelve samples of different homemade wines (white grape, red grape, strawberry, chokeberry, black currant, plum, apple, raspberry, and quince). The developed method is sensitive and repeatable for majority of the analytes. It is versatile and can be used for the determination of biogenic amines in various alcoholic beverages.

Development of a multi-class steroid hormone screening method using Liquid Chromatography/Tandem Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS/MS).

Project description:Monitoring complex endocrine pathways is often limited by indirect measurement or measurement of a single hormone class per analysis. There is a burgeoning need to develop specific direct-detection methods capable of providing simultaneous measurement of biologically relevant concentrations of multiple classes of hormones (estrogens, androgens, progestogens, and corticosteroids). The objectives of this study were to develop a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for multi-class steroid hormone detection using biologically relevant concentrations, then test limits of detection (LOD) in a high-background matrix by spiking charcoal-stripped fetal bovine serum (FBS) extract. Accuracy was tested with National Institute of Standards and Technology Standard Reference Materials (SRMs) with certified concentrations of cortisol, testosterone, and progesterone. 11-Deoxycorticosterone, 11-deoxycortisol, 17-hydroxypregnenolone, 17-hydroxyprogesterone, adrenosterone, androstenedione, cortisol, corticosterone, dehydroepiandrosterone, dihydrotestosterone, estradiol, estriol, estrone, equilin, pregnenolone, progesterone, and testosterone were also measured using isotopic dilution. Dansyl chloride (DC) derivatization was investigated maintaining the same method to improve and expedite estrogen analysis. Biologically relevant LODs were determined for 15 hormones. DC derivatization improved estrogen response two- to eight-fold, and improved chromatographic separation. All measurements had an accuracy ?14 % difference from certified values (not accounting for uncertainty) and relative standard deviation ?14 %. This method chromatographically separated and quantified biologically relevant concentrations of four hormone classes using highly specific fragmentation patterns and measured certified values of hormones that were previously split into three separate chromatographic methods.

Development of an LC-MS/MS Method for ARV-110, a PROTAC Molecule, and Applications to Pharmacokinetic Studies.

Project description:ARV-110, a novel proteolysis-targeting chimera (PROTAC), has been reported to show satisfactory safety and tolerability for prostate cancer therapy in phase I clinical trials. However, there is a lack of bioanalytical assays for ARV-110 determination in biological samples. In this study, we developed and validated an LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of ARV-110 in rat and mouse plasma and applied it to pharmacokinetic studies. ARV-110 and pomalidomide (internal standard) were extracted from the plasma samples using the protein precipitation method. Sample separation was performed using a C18 column and a mobile phase of 0.1% formic acid in distilled water-0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile (30:70, v/v). Multiple reaction monitoring was used to quantify ARV-110 and pomalidomide with ion transitions at m/z 813.4 → 452.2 and 273.8 → 201.0, respectively. The developed method showed good linearity in the concentration range of 2-3000 ng/mL with acceptable accuracy, precision, matrix effect, process efficiency, and recovery. ARV-110 was stable in rat and mouse plasma under long-term storage, three freeze-thaw cycles, and in an autosampler, but unstable at room temperature and 37 °C. Furthermore, the elimination of ARV-110 via phase 1 metabolism in rat, mouse, and human hepatic microsomes was shown to be unlikely. Application of the developed method to pharmacokinetic studies revealed that the oral bioavailability of ARV-110 in rats and mice was moderate (23.83% and 37.89%, respectively). These pharmacokinetic findings are beneficial for future preclinical and clinical studies of ARV-110 and/or other PROTACs.

Development and validation of an LC-MS/MS method for simultaneous quantification of co-administered trastuzumab and pertuzumab.

Project description:Given the increasing use of combination therapy with multiple monoclonal antibodies (mAbs), there is a clinical need for multiplexing assays. For the frequently co-administered anti-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) mAbs trastuzumab and pertuzumab, we developed a high-throughput and robust hybrid ligand-binding liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS quantitative assay. Nanomolar concentrations of trastuzumab and pertuzumab were determined in 10 µL serum samples after extraction by affinity purification through protein A beads, followed by on-bead reduction, alkylation, and trypsin digestion. After electrospray ionization, quantification was obtained by multiple reaction monitoring LC-MS/MS using SILuMab as an internal standard. The method was validated according to the current guidelines from the US Food and Drug Administration and the European Medicines Agency. Assay linearity was established in the ranges 0.250-250 μg/mL for trastuzumab and 0.500-500 μg/mL for pertuzumab. The method was accurate and selective for the simultaneous determination of trastuzumab and pertuzumab in clinical samples, thereby overcoming the limitation of ligand binding assays that cannot quantify mAbs targeting the same receptor. Furthermore, this method requires a small blood volume, which reduces blood collection time and stress for patients. The assay robustness was verified in a clinical trial where trastuzumab and pertuzumab concentrations were determined in 670 serum samples. As we used commercially available reagents and standards, the described generic bioanalytical strategy can easily be adapted to multiplex quantifications of other mAb combinations in non-clinical and clinical samples.

Development and Application of an LC-MS/MS Untargeted Exposomics Method with a Separated Pooled Quality Control Strategy.

Project description:Pooled quality controls (QCs) are usually implemented within untargeted methods to improve the quality of datasets by removing features either not detected or not reproducible. However, this approach can be limiting in exposomics studies conducted on groups of exposed and nonexposed subjects, as compounds present at low levels only in exposed subjects can be diluted and thus not detected in the pooled QC. The aim of this work is to develop and apply an untargeted workflow for human biomonitoring in urine samples, implementing a novel separated approach for preparing pooled quality controls. An LC-MS/MS workflow was developed and applied to a case study of smoking and non-smoking subjects. Three different pooled quality controls were prepared: mixing an aliquot from every sample (QC-T), only from non-smokers (QC-NS), and only from smokers (QC-S). The feature tables were filtered using QC-T (T-feature list), QC-S, and QC-NS, separately. The last two feature lists were merged (SNS-feature list). A higher number of features was obtained with the SNS-feature list than the T-feature list, resulting in identification of a higher number of biologically significant compounds. The separated pooled QC strategy implemented can improve the nontargeted human biomonitoring for groups of exposed and nonexposed subjects.
