Selected AbstractsIdentification of Major Alkaloids in Rat Urine by HPLC/DAD/ESI-MS/MS Method Following Oral Administration of Cortex Phellodendri DecoctionHELVETICA CHIMICA ACTA, Issue 2 2009Chun-Hui Ma Abstract A rapid, sensitive, and specific high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), diode-array detection, and mass-spectrometry techniques were developed for an identification of the constituents of Cortex Phellodendri and their metabolites in rat urine. The dose of 10,ml/kg of Cortex Phellodendri decoction was used for rats' oral administration. 0,24-h Urine was purified using a C18 solid-phase extraction cartridge, and then analyzed by an on-line MS detector. A total of 13,characteristic HPLC peaks were detected in the urine samples. Nine of them, including five alkaloids and four of their metabolites, were tentatively elucidated as magnoflorine (1), the glucuronide conjugate of demethyleneberberine (2), menisperine (3), jatrorrhizine 3- O -glucuronide (4), berberubine 9- O -glucuronide (5), jatrorrhizine (6), the monomethyl and monohydroxy catabolite of berberubine (7), palmatine (8), and berberine (9). Identification and structural elucidation of the metabolites were performed by comparing their MSn spectra data with those reported. [source] Development and validation of an HPLC confirmatory method for the determination of seven tetracycline antibiotics residues in milk according to the European Union Decision 2002/657/ECJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 15 2007Victoria F. Samanidou Abstract An HPLC method with diode-array detection, at 355 nm, was developed and validated for the determination of seven tetracyclines (TCs) in milk: minocycline (MNC), TC, oxytetracycline (OTC), methacycline (MTC), demeclocycline (DMC), chlortetracycline (CTC), and doxycycline (DC). Oxalate buffer (pH 4) was used with 20% TCA as a deproteinization agent for the extraction of analytes from milk followed by SPE. The separation was achieved on an Inertsil ODS-3, 5 ,m, 250×4 mm2 analytical column at ambient temperature. The mobile phase, a mixture of A: 0.01 M oxalic acid and B: CH3CN, was delivered using a gradient program. The procedure was validated according to the European Union decision 2002/657/EC determining selectivity, stability, decision limit, detection capability, accuracy, and precision. Mean recoveries of TCs from spiked milk samples (50, 100, and 200 ng/g) were 93.8,100.9% for MNC, 96.8,103.7% for OTC, 96.3,101.8% for TC, 99.4,107.2% for DMC, 99.4,102.9% for CTC, 96.3,102.7% for MTC, and 94.6,102.1% for DC. All RSD values were lower than 8.5%. The decision limits CCa calculated by spiking 20 blank milk samples at MRL (100 ,g/kg) ranged from 101.25 to 105.84 ,g/kg, while detection capability CCbfrom 103.94 to 108.88 ,g/kg. [source] HPLC-MS of anthraquinoids, flavonoids, and their degradation products in analysis of natural dyes in archeological objectsJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 13 2007Izabella Surowiec Abstract LC with MS detection was optimized for sensitive and selective analysis of main classes of natural dyes used in ancient times for dyeing textiles , red anthraquinoids, yellow flavonoids, and known degradation products of flavonols , hydroxybenzoic acids. Fragmentation patterns of both negative and positive molecular ions for the above mentioned compounds were investigated. Three acquisition modes of MS analysis: scanning, SIM, and multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in both positive and negative ion modes were optimized and compared with each other and with the UV-Vis diode-array detection. Even though in the applied chromatographic system formic acid was used in the mobile phase, SIM in the negative ion mode was the most selective and sensitive detection for all the investigated compounds when both mixtures of standards and analysis of extracts from archeological samples were concerned, with one exception , alizarin, for which MS detection in positive ion mode was more sensitive. Detection limits obtained with MS detection for all investigated compounds except quinizarin were lower than the ones obtained with the diode-array UV-Vis detection, making MS detection the most suitable tool for the analysis of natural dyes and their degradation products in extracts from archeological samples. [source] Determination of nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs in water samples using liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detector and mass spectrometryJOURNAL OF SEPARATION SCIENCE, JSS, Issue 17 2005Jolanta Debska Abstract An analytical method for the determination of trace levels of six different nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in water samples has been developed and validated. Environmentally relevant pharmaceuticals were chosen according to human consumption in Poland. Final analysis of the target compounds was performed by RP LC,diode-array detection,MS, whereas sample preparation included an SPE step. For this SPE step, a number of packing materials, such as LiChrolut RP-18, calixarene, Strata-X, BAKERBOND Narc-2, BAKERBOND Polar Plus, BAKERBOND styrene divinylbenzene-1, and Discovery DSC-18, were used, and their respective advantages and disadvantages in this study were discussed. The RP-18 phase was found to be the most retentive for all analytes. The detection limits for compounds in surface waters were varied from 0.005 for diflunisal to 0.095 ,g/L for ibuprofen. The average recoveries of NSAIDs from the surface water samples ranged from 80 up to 103%. RSD value is relatively low (from 4% for fenoprofen up to 8% for ibuprofen). The performance of the method was tested with several environmental water samples. [source] Structural characterization and identification of iridoid glycosides, saponins, phenolic acids and flavonoids in Flos Lonicerae Japonicae by a fast liquid chromatography method with diode-array detection and time-of-flight mass spectrometryRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 19 2009Lian-Wen Qi A fast liquid chromatography method with diode-array detection (DAD) and time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS) has been developed for analysis of constituents in Flos Lonicerae Japonicae (FLJ), a traditional Chinese medicine derived from the flower bud of Lonicerajaponica. The chromatographic analytical time decreased to 25,min without sacrificing resolution using a column packed with 1.8-µm porous particles (4.6,×,50,mm), three times faster than the performance of conventional 5.0-µm columns (4.6,×,150,mm). Four major groups of compounds previously isolated from FLJ were structurally characterized by DAD-TOF-MS: iridoid glycosides showed maximum UV absorption at 240,nm; phenolic acids at 217, 242, and 326,nm; flavonoids at 255 and 355,nm; while saponins had no absorption. In electrospray ionization (ESI)-TOF-MS experiments, elimination of a glucose unit (162 Da), and successive losses of H2O, CH3OH and CO, were generally observed in iridoid glycosides; saponins were characterized by a series of identical aglycone ions; phenolic acids typically generated a base peak at [M,H,caffeoyl], by loss of a caffeic acid unit (162 Da) and several marked quinic acid moiety ions; cleavage of the glycosidic bond (loss of 162 or 308 Da), subsequent losses of H2O, CO, RDA and C-ring fragmentation were the most possible fragmentation pathways for flavonoids. By accurate mass measurements within 4,ppm error for each molecular ion and subsequent fragment ions, as well as the ,full mass spectral' information of TOF-MS, a total of 41 compounds including 13 iridoid glycosides, 11 phenolic acids, 7 saponins, and 10 flavonoids were identified in a methanolic extract of FLJ.

[source] High-speed separation and characterization of major constituents in Radix Paeoniae Rubra by fast high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array detection and time-of-flight mass spectrometryRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 1 2009E-Hu Liu A fast high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method coupled with diode-array detection (DAD) and electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOFMS) has been developed for rapid separation and sensitive identification of major constituents in Radix Paeoniae Rubra (RPR). The total analysis time on a short column packed with 1.8-µm porous particles was about 20,min without a loss in resolution, six times faster than the performance of a conventional column analysis (115,min). The MS fragmentation behavior and structural characterization of major compounds in RPR were investigated here for the first time. The targets were rapidly screened from RPR matrix using a narrow mass window of 0.01,Da to restructure extracted ion chromatograms. Accurate mass measurements (less than 5,ppm error) for both the deprotonated molecule and characteristic fragment ions represent reliable identification criteria for these compounds in complex matrices with similar if not even better performance compared with tandem mass spectrometry. A total of 26 components were screened and identified in RPR including 11 monoterpene glycosides, 11 galloyl glucoses and 4 other phenolic compounds. From the point of time savings, resolving power, accurate mass measurement capability and full spectral sensitivity, the established fast HPLC/DAD/TOFMS method turns out to be a highly useful technique to identify constituents in complex herbal medicines.

[source] Characterization of isoquinoline alkaloids, diterpenoids and steroids in the Chinese herb Jin-Guo-Lan (Tinospora sagittata and Tinospora capillipes) by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization with multistage mass spectrometryRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 15 2006Yufeng Zhang This study sought to determine the primary components (isoquinoline alkaloids, diterpenoids and steroids) in crude extracts of the Chinese herb Jin-Guo-Lan, prepared from the roots of Tinospora sagittata and T. capillipes, by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization multistage mass spectrometry coupled with diode-array detection (LC-DAD/ESI-MSn). After separation on a reversed-phase C18 column using gradient elution, positive and negative ESI-MS experiments were performed. In positive ion mode, the three types of compounds showed very different characteristic ions: strong [M]+ or [M+H]+ ions were observed for isoquinoline alkaloids; [M+NH4]+ and/or [M+HCO2]+ for diterpenoids; [M+HnH2O]+ (n=1,3) for steroids. These adduct ions and/or fragments were used to deduce the mass and categories of known and unknown components in crude extracts, and their structures were further confirmed by ESI-MSn in positive ion mode. Moreover, UV absorption peaks obtained from DAD provided useful functional group information to aid the MSn -based identification. As a result, 11 compounds were unambiguously identified by comparing with standard compounds and 13 compounds were tentatively identified or deduced according to their MSn data. Two of these compounds (13-hydroxycolumbamine and 13-hydroxyjatrorrhizine) were found to be new compounds and another one (13-hydroxypalmatine) was detected for the first time as a natural product. In addition, a [M·CH3H2O].+ ion in MS2 of [M]+ after in-source collision-induced dissociation was used to differentiate positional isomers of protoberberine alkaloids, columbamine and jatrorrhizine. Although the roots of T. sagittata and T. capillipes contain almost identical compounds, the content of the compounds in them is dramatically different, suggesting the necessity for further comparison of the bioactivities of the two species.

[source] Determination of phenolic compounds in rose hip (Rosa canina) using liquid chromatography coupled to electrospray ionisation tandem mass spectrometry and diode-array detectionRAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY, Issue 7 2002Erlend Hvattum Liquid chromatography coupled with negative and positive electrospray ionisation (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) and diode-array detection (DAD) was used for determination of phenols in rose hip (Rosa canina) extract. ESI mass spectra of the chromatographically separated phenols gave the molecular weight of the compounds through prominent [M,,,H], ions for most of the compounds and M+ ions for the anthocyanins. Collision induced dissociation (CID) of the [M,,,H], (or M+) precursor ions yielded product ions which determined the molecular weight of the aglycones. In-source fragmentation followed by CID of the resulting deprotonated aglycone ([A,,,H],) provided product ions for the identification of the unconjugated phenols. The identification was based on comparison with product ion spectra of commercial standards. UV-diode-array spectra were used for identity confirmation. This combined approach allowed the identification in rose hip extract of an anthocyanin, i.e. cyanidin-3- O -glucoside, several glycosides of quercetin and glycosides of taxifolin and eriodictyol. Phloridzin was identified, and several conjugates of methyl gallate were also found, one of which was tentatively identified as methyl gallate-rutinoside. Catechin and quercetin were found as the aglycones in the extract. Copyright © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] Fragmentation study of iridoid glycosides and phenylpropanoid glycosides in Radix Scrophulariae by rapid resolution liquid chromatography with diode-array detection and electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometryBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 8 2010Qian Wu Abstract Rapid resolution liquid chromatography (RRLC) coupled with diode array detection (DAD) and electrospray ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (ESI-TOF MS) method was applied to the mass spectral study of a series of naturally occurring iridoid glycosides and phenylpropanoid glycosides in Radix Scrophulariae, which provides higher speed and increased sensitivity without loss of resolution. With dynamic adjustment as the key role of the fragmentor voltage and confirmed with authentic standards, valuable structural information regarding the nature of both the glycoside skeletons was thus obtained. Most compositions were found to possess organic acid moiety such as cinnamoyl, caffeoyl and ferulyol. Besides extensive fragmentation of the carbohydrate moiety, losses of the hydroxyl and glucose residue units showed in the spectra, permitting the exploration of the skeleton and the identity of substituents in the molecule. Ten major iridoid glycosides and 10 phenylpropanoid glycosides were identified or tentatively characterized based on their retention times, UV and TOF MS data. The major fragmentation pathways of PGs in Radix Scrophulariae obtained through the MS data was schemed systematically for the first time, which provides a reference for other PGs derivatives.

[source] Simultaneous RP-HPLC-DAD quantification of bromocriptine, haloperidol and its diazepane structural analog in rat plasma with droperidol as internal standard for application to drug-interaction pharmacokineticsBIOMEDICAL CHROMATOGRAPHY, Issue 7 2010Johnique Billups Abstract A simple and rapid RP-HPLC-DAD method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of the dopamine antagonists haloperidol, its diazepane analog, and the dopamine agonist bromocriptine in rat plasma, to perform pharmacokinetic drug-interaction studies. Samples were prepared for analysis by acetonitrile (22.0,,g/mL) plasma protein precipitation with droperidol as an internal standard, followed by a double-step liquid-liquid extraction with hexane,:,chloroform (70:30) prior to C-18 separation. Isocratic elution was achieved using a 0.1% (v/v) trifluoroacetic acid in deionized water, methanol and acetonitrile (45/27.5/27.5, v/v/v). Triple-wavelength diode-array detection at the ,max of 245,nm for haloperidol, 254,nm for the diazepane analog and droperidol, and 240,nm for bromocriptine was carried out. The LLOQ of DAL, HAL, and BCT were 45.0, 56.1, and 150,ng/mL, respectively. In rats, the estimated pharmacokinetic parameters (i.e., t1/2, CL, and Vss) of HAL when administered with DAL and BCT were t1/2 = 16.4,min, Vss = 0.541,L/kg for HAL, t1/2 = 28.0,min, Vss = 2.00,L/kg for DAL, and t1/2 = 24.0,min, Vss = 0.106,L/kg for BCT. The PK parameters for HAL differed significantly from those previously reported, which may be an indication of a drug-drug interaction. Copyright © 2009 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. [source] | ||||||||||
