A stable isotope dilution method for a highly accurate analysis of karrikins.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Karrikins (KARs) are recently described group of plant growth regulators with stimulatory effects on seed germination, seedling growth and crop productivity. So far, an analytical method for the simultaneous targeted profiling of KARs in plant tissues has not been reported.

Results

We present a sensitive method for the determination of two highly biologically active karrikins (KAR₁ and KAR₂) in minute amounts of plant material (< 20 mg fresh weight). The developed protocol combines the optimized extraction and efficient single-step sample purification with ultra-high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Newly synthesized deuterium labelled KAR₁ was employed as an internal standard for the validation of KAR quantification using a stable isotope dilution method. The application of the matrix-matched calibration series in combination with the internal standard method yields a high level of accuracy and precision in triplicate, on average bias 3.3% and 2.9% RSD, respectively. The applicability of this analytical approach was confirmed by the successful analysis of karrikins in Arabidopsis seedlings grown on media supplemented with different concentrations of KAR₁ and KAR₂ (0.1, 1.0 and 10.0 µmol/l).

Conclusions

Our results demonstrate the usage of methodology for routine analyses and for monitoring KARs in complex biological matrices. The proposed method will lead to better understanding of the roles of KARs in plant growth and development.

A stable isotope dilution method for measuring bioavailability of organic contaminants.

Project description:Methods for determining bioavailability of organic contaminants suffer various operational limitations. We explored the use of stable isotope labeled references in developing an isotope dilution method (IDM) to measure the exchangeable pool (E) of pyrene and bifenthrin as an approximation of their bioavailability in sediments. The exchange of deuterated bifenthrin or pyrene with its native counterpart was completed within 48 h. The derived E was 38-82% for pyrene and 28-59% for bifenthrin. Regression between E and the sum of rapid and slow desorption fractions obtained from sequential desorption showed a slope close to 1.0. The ability of IDM to predict bioavailability was further shown from a strong relationship (r(2) > 0.93) between E and bioaccumulation into Chironomus tentans. Given the abundance of stable isotope labeled references and their relatively easy analysis, the IDM has the potential to become a readily adoptable tool for estimating organic contaminants bioaccessibility in various matrices.

A stable isotope dilution tandem mass spectrometry method of major kavalactones and its applications.

Project description:Kava is regaining its popularity with detailed characterizations warranted. We developed an ultraperformance liquid chromatography high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method for major kavalactones (kavain, dihydrokavain, methysticin, dihydromethysticin and desmethoxyyangonin) with excellent selectivity and specificity. The method has been validated for different matrices following the Food and Drug Administration guidance of analytical procedures and methods validation. The scope of this method has been demonstrated by quantifying these kavalactones in two kava products, characterizing their tissue distribution and pharmacokinetics in mice, and detecting their presence in human urines and plasmas upon kava intake. As expected, the abundances of these kavalactones differed significantly in kava products. All of them exhibited a large volume of distribution with extensive tissue affinity and adequate mean residence time (MRT) in mice. This method also successfully quantified these kavalactones in human body fluids upon kava consumption at the recommended human dose. This UPLC-MS/MS method therefore can be used to characterize kava products and its pharmacokinetics in animals and in humans.

Stable-Isotope Dilution HPLC-Electrospray Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for Quantifying Hydroxyurea in Dried Blood Samples.

Project description:BackgroundSickle cell anemia (SCA) is a life-threatening blood disorder characterized by the presence of sickle-shaped erythrocytes. Hydroxyurea is currently the only US Food and Drug Administration-approved treatment and there is a need for a convenient method to monitor compliance and hydroxyurea concentrations, especially in pediatric SCA patients.MethodsWe describe a novel approach to the determination of hydroxyurea concentrations in dried whole blood collected on DMPK-C cards or volumetric absorptive microsampling (VAMS) devices. Hydroxyurea was quantified by electrospray ionization LC-MS/MS using [13C15N2]hydroxyurea as the internal standard. Calibrators were prepared in whole blood applied to DMPK-C cards or VAMS devices.ResultsCalibration curves for blood hydroxyurea measured from DMPK-C cards and VAMS devices were linear over the range 0.5-60 μg/mL. Interassay and intraassay CVs were <15% for blood collected by both methods, and the limit of detection was 5 ng/mL. Whole blood hydroxyurea was stable for up to 60 days on DMPK-C cards and VAMS devices when frozen at -20 °C or -80 °C. Whole blood hydroxyurea concentrations in samples collected on DMPK-C cards or VAMS devices from SCA patients were in close agreement.ConclusionsThis tandem mass spectrometry method permits measurement of hydroxyurea concentrations in small volumes of dried blood applied to either DMPK-C cards or VAMS devices with comparable performance. This method for measuring hydroxyurea from dried blood permits the evaluation of therapeutic drug monitoring, individual pharmacokinetics, and medication adherence using heel/finger-prick samples from pediatric patients with SCA treated with hydroxyurea.

Stable Isotope Dilution Analysis of the Major Prenylated Flavonoids Found in Beer, Hop Tea, and Hops.

Project description:Prenylated flavonoids from hops (Humulus lupulus) have become of interest in recent years due to a range of bioactivities. The potential health benefits of prenylated flavonoids include anti-cancerous activities and treatment of the metabolic syndrome among others. Since prenylated flavonoids from hops have shown pharmaceutical potential in clinical trials, robust analytical methods to determine their concentrations in food, supplements, and beverages are required. One such, the gold standard of analytical methods, is stable isotope dilution analysis due to its ability to compensate matrix effects and losses during sample work-up. As no commercial standards were available, the synthesis of seven different prenylated flavonoid isotopes utilizing various strategies (microwave assistance, acid base catalyst in the presence of deuterated substance and lastly, the use of Strykers catalyst) is described. The produced prenylated flavonoid isotopes were then applied in the first stable isotope dilution analysis method that quantified six natural prenylated flavonoids (Isoxanthohumol, Isoxanthohumol-C, 8-Prenylnaringenin, 6- Prenylnaringenin, Xanthohumol, and Xanthohumol-C) in beer, hop tea and hops to prove its applicability. The SIDA-LC-MS/MS method was validated resulting in LODs and LOQs for all analytes between 0.04 and 3.2 μg/L. Moreover, due to the simple clean-up the developed method allows the prospect for measuring clinical samples in the future.

An LC/MS/MS method for stable isotope dilution studies of β-carotene bioavailability, bioconversion, and vitamin A status in humans.

Project description:Isotope dilution is currently the most accurate technique in humans to determine vitamin A status and bioavailability/bioconversion of provitamin A carotenoids such as β-carotene. However, limits of MS detection, coupled with extensive isolation procedures, have hindered investigations of physiologically-relevant doses of stable isotopes in large intervention trials. Here, a sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analytical method was developed to study the plasma response from coadministered oral doses of 2 mg [(13)C10]β-carotene and 1 mg [(13)C10]retinyl acetate in human subjects over a 2 week period. A reverse phase C18 column and binary mobile phase solvent system separated β-carotene, retinol, retinyl acetate, retinyl linoleate, retinyl palmitate/retinyl oleate, and retinyl stearate within a 7 min run time. Selected reaction monitoring of analytes was performed under atmospheric pressure chemical ionization in positive mode at m/z 537→321 and m/z 269→93 for respective [(12)C]β-carotene and [(12)C] retinoids; m/z 547→330 and m/z 274→98 for [(13)C10]β-carotene and [(13)C5] cleavage products; and m/z 279→100 for metabolites of [(13)C10]retinyl acetate. A single one-phase solvent extraction, with no saponification or purification steps, left retinyl esters intact for determination of intestinally-derived retinol in chylomicrons versus retinol from the liver bound to retinol binding protein. Coadministration of [(13)C10]retinyl acetate with [(13)C10]β-carotene not only acts as a reference dose for inter-individual variations in absorption and chylomicron clearance rates, but also allows for simultaneous determination of an individual's vitamin A status.

An improved folate stable isotope dilution assay of unexploited food sources from Brazil.

Project description:Brazil has a diverse plant community, including underutilized non-conventional food crops (PANCs), which have the potential to be a rich source of food and contribute to food security. For assessing the folate content in a range of Brazilian PANCs, we extended the validation of an existing stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) for the stably 13C-labelled 10-formyl-Pte[13C5]Glu (10-CHO-Pte[13C5]Glu). The SIDA method with an enzymatic treatment, purification step, and an LC-MS/MS measurement was validated regarding linearity, precision, LoD/LoQ, and recovery for 10-CHO-PteGlu. After successful validation, the study of some underutilized Brazilian non-conventional fruits and leaves from the São Paulo State University campus revealed them as an important source of folates. It provided the first insights into the folate content of unexploited food sources from Brazil. Pequi had the highest folate content among the fruits studied, with mean values of 333 μg/100 g based on fresh weight (FW). The analysis also shows that different cultivars of fruit or fruits from different growing locations have a high variability in folate content or other nutritional factors. In most fruits, the main vitamer was 5-CH3-H4folate, but jenipapo and taioba showed the highest content of 10-CHO-PteGlu with 28.22 μg/100 g (FW) in jenipapo peel and 75.64 μg/100 g (FW) in the taioba leaves. Thus, this study also provides results on the importance of the folate vitamer 10-CHO-PteGlu contributing to the total folate content.

Development and Validation of a Stable Isotope Dilution Headspace-SPME-GC/MS Method for the Determination of Vanillin in Fragrant Vegetable Oils.

Project description:It has been reported that vanillin has been intentionally added to enhance the taste and flavor of low-quality vegetable oils. Therefore, it is crucial to investigate the accurate concentrations of vanillin in three types of fragrant vegetable oils commonly consumed in China. In this study, a method has been developed for the quantification of vanillin in commercial fragrant vegetable oils using the stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) and headspace-solid-phase microextraction (HS-SPME) coupled with gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the analyte were determined to be 20 µg kg-1 and 50 µg kg-1, respectively. The validation study demonstrated that the recoveries ranged from 89% to 101%, with intra-day and inter-day precision being less than 7.46%. A survey of 80 commercially available fragrant vegetable oils was performed using the present method. Vanillin was found to be widely present in fragrant vegetable oils, with sesame oils showing the highest average content (842.6 µg kg-1), followed by rapeseed oils (262.1 µg kg-1) and peanut oils (115.0 µg kg-1). The results indicate that the proposed method is a simple, accurate, and eco-friendly approach for determining the presences of vanillin in fragrant vegetable oils.

Stable isotope dilution mass spectrometry quantification of hydrogen sulfide and thiols in biological matrices.

Project description:BackgroundHydrogen sulfide (H2S), a gaseous signaling molecule that impacts multiple physiological processes including aging, is produced via select mammalian enzymes and enteric sulfur-reducing bacteria. H2S research is limited by the lack of an accurate internal standard-containing assay for its quantitation in biological matrices.MethodsAfter synthesizing [34S]H2S and developing sample preparation protocols that avoid sulfide contamination with the addition of thiol-containing standards or reducing reagents, we developed a stable isotope-dilution high performance liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the simultaneous quantification of Total H2S and other abundant thiols (cysteine, homocysteine, glutathione, glutamylcysteine, cysteinylglycine) in biological matrices, conducted a 20-day analytical validation/normal range study, and then both analyzed circulating Total H2S and thiols in plasma from 400 subjects, and within 20 volunteers before and after antibiotic-induced suppression of gut microbiota.ResultsUsing the new assay, all analytes showed minimal interference, no carryover, and excellent intra- and inter-day reproducibility (≤7.6%, and ≤12.7%, respectively), linearity (r2 > 0.997), recovery (90.9%-110%) and stability (90.0%-100.5%). Only circulating Total H2S levels showed significant age-associated reductions in both males and females (p < 0.001), and a marked reduction following gut microbiota suppression (mean 33.8 ± 17.7%, p < 0.001), with large variations in gut microbiota contribution among subjects (range 6.0-66.7% reduction with antibiotics).ConclusionsA stable-isotope-dilution LC-MS/MS method is presented for the simultaneous quantification of Total H2S and multiple thiols in biological matrices. We then use this assay panel to show a striking age-related decline and gut microbiota contribution to circulating Total H2S levels in humans.

Affinity Purification Coupled to Stable Isotope Dilution LC-MS/MS Analysis to Discover IgG4 Glycosylation Profiles for Autoimmune Pancreatitis.

Project description:Type 1 autoimmune pancreatitis (AIP) is categorized as an IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), where a high concentration of plasma IgG4 is one of the common biomarkers among patients. IgG Fc-glycosylation has been reported to be potential biosignatures for diseases. However, human IgG3 and IgG4 Fc-glycopeptides from populations in Asia were found to be isobaric ions when using LC-MS/MS as an analytical tool. In this study, an analytical workflow that coupled affinity purification and stable isotope dilution LC-MS/MS was developed to dissect IgG4 glycosylation profiles for autoimmune pancreatitis. Comparing the IgG4 and glycosylation profiles among healthy controls, patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC), and AIP, the IgG4 glycosylations from the AIP group were found to have more digalactosylation (compared to PDAC) and less monogalactosylation (compared to HC). In addition, higher fucosylation and sialylation profiles were also discovered for the AIP group. The workflow is efficient and selective for IgG4 glycopeptides, and can be used for clinical biosignature discovery.

Development of a LC-MS/MS method using stable isotope dilution for the quantification of individual B6 vitamers in fruits, vegetables, and cereals.

Project description:Vitamin B6 comprises an important set of molecules tightly interwoven with the human amino acid, fatty acid, and carbohydrate metabolism. Analytical methods striving for the quantification of individual B6 vitamers so far mostly rely on methods based on HPLC in combination with fluorescence detection, but their application encounters multiple difficulties due to the chemical divergence of the single vitamers. The present study describes the development of a method based on LC-MS/MS and stable isotope dilution assay (SIDA) for the simultaneous quantification of five vitamers (PN, PL, PM, PMP, and PNG) of the B6 group in food samples. [13C3]-PN, [13C3]-PL, and [13C6]-PNG were applied as internal standards for the analysis of PN, PL, and PNG. PM and PMP were quantified via matrix-matched calibration referring to [13C3]-PN. The developed method was validated using starch matrix. The limits of detection and quantification ranged from 0.0028 to 0.02 mg/kg and from 0.0085 to 0.059 mg/kg, respectively, for all analytes. Calculated recoveries varied from 92 to 111%. Intra-injection precisions ranged from 0 to 9%, inter-day precisions from 4 to 10%, and intra-day precisions from 4 to 10%. A total of 14 plant-based food samples including fruits, vegetables, and cereals were examined for their content of vitamin B6 using the validated method. Furthermore, the first quantitation of PNG without enzymatic steps or divergent internal standards was undertaken utilizing LC-MS/MS and SIDA.
