The heterocyclic amines (HAs) are a family of mutagenic/carcinogenic chemicals formed from the cooking of muscle meats such as beef, meat, fowl, and fish. A major draw back in the analysis of HAs from foods is their very low level of concentration (ng/g) and a number of matrix interferences in samples. Solid-phase extraction (SPE) is one of the procedures widely used for the extraction and purification of HAs in food samples. In this study, several SPE procedures of HAs determination were performed. Recoveries of the HAs were obtained from comparing a matrix such as a standard methanolic solution and pre-cooked meat extracts. Recovery values were ranging between 25.3 and 93.0 % at a concentration of 25.0 ng/g. HAs were determined with high sensitivity by micro-HPLC (${\mu}$-HPLC) analysis with electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Another developed method, which is freezing filtration method, shows better extraction recoveries and good precisions. The established method will be applicable to monitoring of heterocyclic amines from the cooked meat.

Xanthium sibiricum is used as a traditional folk medicine for the treatment of cancer, fever, headache, nasal sinusitis, and skin pruritus. This study aimed to identify components from Xanthium sibiricum extracts using an SPE-800MHz NMR-MS hyphenated system. The simultaneous acquisition of MS and NMR spectra from the same chromatographic peaks significantly increases the depth of information acquired for the compound and allows the elucidation of structures that would not be possible using MS or NMR data alone. LC -NMR analysis was conducted using a HPLC separation system coupled to 800 MHz spectrometer equipped with a cryoprobe, and a SPE unit was used to automatically trap chromatographic peaks using a HPLC pump. LC-MS analysis was conducted with a Q-TOF MS instrument using ESI ionization in the negative ion mode. Using the hyphenated analysis, several secondary metabolites were identified, such as 3',5'-O-dicaffeoylquinic acid, 1',5'-O-dicaffeoyl- quinic acid, and ethyl caffeate. These results demonstrate that the SPE-800MHz NMR-MS hyphenated system can be used to identify metabolites within natural products that have complex mixtures.

Adipocytes have been known to secrete a number of important proteins called adipokines with roles in energy metabolism, reproduction, cardiovascular function and immunity. In this study we have attempted to identify intensively secretory proteins from 3T3-L1 adipocytes. 3T3-L1 preadipocytes were differentiated into mature adipocytes and then the cells were left in serum-free medium. The supernatant was filtrated and dialyzed. Lyophilized secretome was fractionated by two different methods, 1-D SDS PAGE and RP-FPLC. The tryptic peptides from the gel slices and the FPLC fractions were analyzed by nanoLC/ESI-MS/MS. We identified a total of 303 identical proteins from two methods, 251 proteins from 1-D gel and 184 proteins from RP-FPLC. 86 of them were listed as a secretory protein Finally, we identified many known or unknown secreted proteins existed in the low level including adiponectin, angiotensinogen, bone morphogenetic protein-1 (BMP-1), macrophage migration inhibitory factor (MIF), insulin like growth factor-II (IGF-II), interleukin-6 (IL-6), follistatin-related protein-1, minecan, and resistin. The existence of some of secreted proteins has been confirmed in RNA level. This proteomic experiment is useful for the intensive screening of secretory proteins in many kinds of other cells.

The 2-deoxystreptamine and paromamine are two key intermediates in kanamycin biosynthesis. In the present study, pSK-2 and pSK-7 recombinant plasmids were constructed with two combinations of genes: kanABK, and kanABKF and kacA respectively from kanamycin producer Streptomyces kanamyceticus ATCC12853. These plasmids were heterologously expressed into Streptomyces lividans TK24 independently and generated two recombinant strains named S. lividans SK-2/SL and S. lividans SK-7/SL, respectively. ESI/ MS and ESI-LC/MS analysis of the metabolite from S. lividans SK-2/SL showed that the compound had a molecular mass of 163 $[M+H]^+$, which corresponds to that of 2-deoxystreptamine. ESI/MS and MS/MS analysis of metabolites from S. lividans SK-7/SL demonstrated the production of paromamine with a molecular mass of $324[M+H]^+$. In this study, we report the production of paromamine in a heterologous host for the first time. This study will evoke to explore complete biosynthetic pathways of kanamycin and related aminoglycoside antibiotics.

An effective method for the simultaneous analysis of ${\beta}$-lactams from surface water was established. After solid-phase extraction with HLB (Hydrophilic Lipohilic Balance) cartridge at pH 2, seven ${\beta}$-lactams (amoxicillin, ampicillin, penicillin G, cefaclor, cefadroxil, cefatrizine and cephradine) were determined using LC/ESI-MS/MS. In this newly established method, correlation coefficients ($r^2$) of calibration curves for seven ${\beta}$-lactams in blank surface water appeared to be 0.9911~0.9995 in the concentration range of 0.01~1.0 ng/mL. The limits of detection (LODs) and the limits of quantificaiton (LOQs) in spiked surface water were shown to be 0.0003~0.0234 ng/mL and 0.0046~0.0778 ng/mL, respectively. The developed method is believed to serve as a rapid and reliable method for the qualitative and quantitative analysis of residual ${\beta}$-lactam antibiotics from aquatic environment.

A selective analytical method of LC/MS/MS has been applied to determine the levels of acrylamide in food products. Food samples were 17 including 6 potato chips, and 11 french fries. The analysis of food samples includes extraction with DDDW, clean-up using C18 and mixed ion exchange SPE cartridges and detection by liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry. The mobile phase was a mixture of 0.1 % acetic acid and 0.5 % methanol in water. The target ions were identified and determined by ESI mass spectrometer. The overall recoveries were ranged from 91 % to 101 % and the limit of quantitation was $10{\mu}g/kg$. Depending on food kinds, the levels of acrylamide were variable and the average was 0.71 mg/kg for potato chips, and 0.34 mg/kg for french fries.

Hyangso-san is a traditional herbal medicine that consists of the seven herbal medicines, Cyperi Rhizoma, Perillae Folium, Atractylodis Rhizoma, Citri Unshius Pericarpium, Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma, Zingiberis Rhizoma Crudus, and Allii Fistulosi Bulbus. Hyangso-san has long been clinically used to treat the influenza, including headache, ferver, chills, and pantalgia. In this study, we were performed the simultaneous analysis of the 15 marker compounds (liquiritin apioside, liquiritin, ferulic acid, naringin, hesperidin, rosmarinic acid, liquiritigenin, kaempferol, glycyrrhizin, nobiletin, 6-gingerol, elemicin, atractylenolide III, nootkatone, and atractylenolide I) in Hyangso-san using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS). Column for the separation of the 15 ingredients was used a Waters Acquity UPLC BEH $C_{18}$ analytical column ($2.1{\times}100mm$, $1.7{\mu}m$) at $45^{\circ}C$ by using a mobile phase of 0.1% (v/v) formic acid in water and acetonitrile with gradient condition. Identifications of all analytes were performed using a Waters ACQUITY TQD LC-MS/MS system. The flow rate and injection volume were 0.3 mL/min and $2.0{\mu}L$, respectively. Correlation coefficient of the calibration curve was ${\geq}0.9958$. The values of limits of detection and quantification of the 15 components were 0.002-4.29 and 0.01-12.88 ng/mL, respectively. The result of an analysis using the established LC-MS/MS method, kaempferol and atractylenolide I were not detected, while other 13 compounds were 0.08-56.87 mg/g in lyophilized Hyangso-san sample.

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.
