Sixteen compounds of Neobalanocarpus heimii were successfully identified directly from their plant extract using a triple quadrupole LC-MS/MS system. In order to fulfil the objectives of this work, a series of stilbene oligomers of various degrees of condensation were isolated and their structure are characterized. Out of these, four are resveratrol dimers, three trimers, and nine tetramers. The isolation process was done on a fully automated semi-preparative HPLC system. Their structures were elucidated on the basis of 1D- and 2D-NMR as well as MS data. The mass fragmentation patterns of the compounds were recorded and a retrievable in-house library was built to keep the data. In order to demonstrate the potential of this approach, the polyphenolic crude extract was analysed with the LC-MS/MS system and the MS/MS spectra extracted for each chromatographic peak of interest. The fragmentation patterns were compared with those of anticipated pure compounds that were previously recorded. All compounds were successfully identified. It is therefore believed that the LC-MS/MS potential for dereplication of structurally similar compounds in a crude mixture was thus firmly established.

UPLC-DAD-ESI(+)-QToF/MS를 사용하여 국내산 두릅나무 및 음나무 순의 페놀산을 분석한 결과 두릅나무 순에서 총 13종, 음나무 순에서 총 8종의 페놀산 성분을 동정하였으며, 내부표준물질을 이용하여 이들 개별 성분을 정량하였다. 개별 페놀산 성분 구조 동정 시 모분자에 $Na^+$ 또는 $K^+$가 결합되는 특징적인 단편이온들이 관찰되어 모분자의 분자량을 쉽게 판단할 수 있었다. 전반적인 구조 동정은 선행연구 및 표준품의 UV, MS 분석 결과를 참고하여 비교하였으며, 특히 이성질체의 효율적인 동정을 위해 SIM mode 방법을 적용하였다. 따라서 두릅나무 및 음나무 순에서 10종(3,4-dihydroxybenzoic acid, 3-O-caffeoylquinic acid, caffeic acid, 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 5-O-p-coumaroylquinic acid, 5-O-feruloylquinic acid, 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid methyl ester, 4,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3-O-feruloyl-5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3-O-caffeoyl-5-O-feruloylquinic acid)의 페놀산이 처음으로 확인되었다. 총 페놀산 함량은 두릅나무 순, 음나무 순이 각각 754.8, 845.3 mg/100g으로 확인하였다. 주요 성분인 5-O-caffeoylquinic acid, 3,5-di-O-caffeoylquinic acid는 두릅나무 순에서 각각 총 페놀산 함량 중 49, 44%로 서로 비슷한 함량을 보인 것이 비해 음나무 순에서는 각각 91, 3%로 확인되었다. 따라서 음나무 순에 비해 두릅나무 순에서 dicaffeoylquinic acid류의 생합성이 활발하게 이루어졌다는 것을 짐작할 수 있었으며, 본 연구 결과는 이들의 생합성에 관여하는 효소, 유전 인자 등을 규명하는데 중요한 기초 자료로 활용될 것으로 사료된다.

Myxobacteria, Gram-negative soil bacteria, are a well-known producer of bioactive secondary metabolites. Therefore, this study presents a methodological approach for the high-throughput screening of secondary metabolites from 4 wild-type Myxococcus xanthus strains. First, electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) was performed using extracellular crude extracts. As a result, 22 metabolite peaks were detected, and the metabolite profiling was then conducted using the m/z value, retention time, and MS/MS fragmentation pattern analyses. Among the peaks, one unknown compound peak was identified as analogous to the myxalamid A, B, and C series. An analysis of the tandem mass spectrometric fragmentation patterns and HR-MS identified myxalamid K as a new compound derived from M. xanthus. In conclusion, LC-MS/MS-based chemical screening of diverse secondary metabolites would appear to be an effective approach for discovering unknown microbial secondary metabolites.

본 연구에서는 ESI/MS/MS를 이용하여 혈장에서 카르니틴을 신속하게 정량하는 분석방법을 개발하였다. 분석방법은 free carnitine (FC)는 유도체화 없이 혈액여지를 80% 메탄올로 추출하여 분석하였고, Total carnitine (TC)은 가수분해 한 후 추출하여 multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) scan mode로 분석하였다. Acyl carnitine (AC)는 TC에서 FC를 뺀 값을 사용하였다. 카르니틴의 분석에서 상관계수 ($r^2$)는 0.9995, 회수율은 97%, 재현성은 변동계수가 10% 이하, 검출한계는 $0.0016{\mu}mol/L$ 였다. 이 방법은 기존의 액체 크로마토그래피 보다 전처리가 간다하고 짧은 분석시간과 좋은 감도와 재현성을 보여 주었다. 정상인은 AC가 낮고 FC는 높은 패턴을 보였고, 유전성대사질환 환자는 FC는 낮고 AC가 높은 패턴으로 나타나 카르니틴의 3분획 분석은 유전성대사질환 환자의 확진 및 모니터링에 유용함을 보여주었다.

X-선 조형제인 이오프로마이드는 하천수에서 비교적 높은 검출 농도와 높은 검출 빈도로 검출되는 의약물질이다. 이오프로마이드를 전자선에 노출시킨 후 생성된 생성물의 화학 구조를 예측하였고 분해 효율을 측정하였다. 이오프로마이드를 소량 첨가시킨 수용액 시료를 전자선(UELV-10-10S, klysotrn, 10 MeV, 1 mA and 10 kW)에 노출시켰으며, LC/ESI-MS/MS 분석 후 질량스펙트럼을 해석함으로써 분해산물인 I_D_665와 I_D_663에 대한 화학적 구조 규명을 수행하였으며, 직렬식 질량분석에 의한 질량스펙트럼 토막이온의 생성 경로도 제안하였다. 0.3~5 kGy에 노출 시켰을 때 흡수선량의 증가에 따라서 30.5~98.4%가 분해되었으며, $0.5{\sim}100{\mu}g/kg$의 농도에서 0.3 kGy의 전자선으로 조사하였을 경우 97.8~30%가 분해되었다. 전자선량이 높을수록 그리고 분석물질이 낮은 농도일수록 전사선 조사에 의한 이오프로마이드의 분해효율은 증가하였다.

A rapid, sensitive and selective electrospray tandem mass spectrometric (ESI-LC/MS/MS) method for the quantitation of gliquidone in human plasma was developed. A bioavailability study of gliquidone tablet (30 mg gliquidone, Boehringer Ingelheim Korea Co.) was performed using the validated ESI-LC/MS/MS method. The dose of 30 mg of gliquidone (1 tablet) was orally administered to 9 healthy Korean subjects. After administration, blood was taken at 0.5, 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5, 3, 3.5, 4, 5, 7, 9, 12, 24, and 33 hour. The validation data were as follows; the standard curve was linear ($r^2$=0.999) over the concentration range of $10\~1000 ng/ml$. The coefficient of variation for intra- and inter-day assay were $8.30\~18.86$, and $2.19\~12.92\%$, respectively. The lower limit of quantification for gliquidone was 10 ng/ml. The pharmacokinetic parameters obtained were as follows; $AUC_t$ was 3861.17$\pm$1328.61 ng-hr/ml, $C_{max}$ was 831.02$\pm$227.99 ng/ml, $T_{max}$ was $2.94{\pm}0.77 hr,\;K_e$, was 0.19$\pm$0.06 1/hr, and $t_{l/2}$ was 4.47$\pm$3.52 hr. Based on the validated analytical method and pharmacokinetic parameters, a standard guideline of the bioavailability test of gliquidone dosage forms was prepared successfully and could be used for the bioequivalence test of gliquidone preparation.

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is one of the most important bacterium used in bioleaching, and can utilize $Fe^{2+}$ or sulphide as energy source. Growth curves for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans have been tested, which show lag, logarithmic, stationary and aging phases as seen in other bacteria. The logarithmic phases were from 10 to 32 hours for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans cultivated with $Fe^{2+}$ and from 4 to 12 days for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans cultivated with elemental sulphur. Differences of protein patterns of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growing on elemental sulphur and $Fe^{2+}$ separately were investigated after cultivation at $30^{\circ}C$ by the analysis of two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ ionization (MALDI)-Mass spectrometry and ESI-MS/MS. From the 7 identified protein spots, 11 spots were found more abundant when growing on elemental sulphur. By contrast 6 protein spots were found decreased at elemental cultivation condition. Among the proteins identified, cytochrome C have been previously identified as necessary elements of electron-transfering pathway for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans to oxidize $Fe^{2+}$; ATP synthase alpha chain and beta are expressed increased when Thiobacillus ferrooxidans cultivated with $Fe^{2+}$ as energy source. ATP synthase Beta chain is the catalytic subunit, and ATP synthase alpha chain is a regulatory subunit. The function of ATPase produces ATP from ADP in the presence of a proton gradient across the membrane.

A quantitation method for free amino acids in human serum was developed using a stepwise-dilution method and a bimodal cation exchange (CEX)/hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (HILIC)-tandem mass spectrometry system equipped with an electrospray ionization source (ESI/MS/MS). This method, which was validated using quality control samples, was optimized for enhanced selectivity and sensitivity. Dithiothreitol (DTT) was used as a reducing agent to prevent the oxidation of a serum sample ($50{\mu}L$), which was then subjected to stepwise dilution using 3, 30, and 90 volumes of acetonitrile containing 0.1% formic acid. Chromatographic separation was performed on an Imtakt Intrada Amino Acid column ($50mm{\times}3mm$, $3{\mu}m$) in mixed mode packed with CEX and HILIC ligands embedded in the stationary phase. Underivatized free amino acids were eluted and separated within 10 min. As a result of the validation, the precision and accuracy for the inter- and intraday assays were determined as 2.11-11.51% and 92.82-109.40%, respectively. The lowest limit of quantification (LLOQ) was $0.5-4.0{\mu}g/mL$ and the matrix effect was 80.22-115.93%. The proposed method was successfully applied to the quantitative analysis of free amino acids in human serum.
