An analytical method has been developed for the rapid determination of perfluorinated compounds (PFCs) in human serum samples. The extraction and purification of PFCs from human serum were performed by the modified method of previous report. Ten PFCs were rapidly separated within 3.3 min by C18-monolithic column liquid chromatography (LC) and detected by electrospray ionization (ESI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in negative ion mode. The runtime of PFCs on monolithic column LC was up to 4-fold faster than that on conventional column LC. The effect of triethylamine (TEA) to the mobile phase has investigated on the overall MS detection sensitivity of PFCs in ESI ionization. Quantification was performed by LC-MS/MS in multiple-ion reaction monitoring (MRM) mode, using $^{13}C$-labeled internal standards. Method validation was performed to determine recovery, linearity, precision, and limits of quantification, followed by, the analysis of a standard reference material (SRM 1957 from NIST). The overall recoveries ranged between 81.5 and 106.3% with RSDs of 3.4 to 16.2% for the entire procedure. The calibration range extended from 0.33 to 50 $ng\;mL^{-1}$, with a correlation coefficient ($R^2$) greater than 0.995 and the limits of quantification with 0.08 to 0.46 $ng\;mL^{-1}$. This approach can be used for rapid and sensitive quantitative analysis of 10 PFCs in human serum with high performance and accuracy.

현장의 환경 시료를 대상으로 Real-Time PCR법과 LC/MS법을 이용하여 마이크로시스틴 검출방법을 비교 연구하였다. 3종류의 primer쌍을 이용하여 3종의 Microcystis aeruginosa 표준균주를 대상으로 Real-Time PCR법을 실시한 결과 TOX2P/TOX2M primer를 이용한 균주에서만 마이크로시스틴이 검출되었다. 2009년 6~9월 사이에 남조류가 발생한 상수원수 시료를 정립된 Real-Time PCR법과 기존의 LC/MS법으로 실험한 결과 11개 시료 모두에서 마이크로시스틴이 검출되었고, 농도는 5.98~219.0 ${\mu}g/l$ 범위로 조사되었다. 정수처리 공정별 실험에서는 BAC 여과 단계에서 마이크로시스틴이 완전히 제거되는 것으로 나타났다. 실험결과 Real-Time PCR법은 기존의 표준시험방법인 LC/MS법 보다 분석시간을 많이 단축시키는 것으로 나타나 효과적인 마이크로시스틴 검출방법임을 알 수 있었다.

콩나물중 carbendazim 잔류분을 정량하고 확인할 수 있는 새로운 분석법을 확립하고자 tandem HPLC(UV & FL) 및 APcI를 source로 사용한 LC/MS를 이용하였다. 이를 위해 FL(fluorescence) 검출기를 UV(ultraviolet) 검출기와 나란히 연결하여 UV 검출기의 경우 280 nm 파장을 그리고 FL 검출기의 경우는 excitation파장과 emission파장을 각각 280 mn와 310 nm로 설정하였다. 분석결과 carbendazim의 검출한계는 $0.04{\mu}g/kg$이었다. 콩나물에 carbendazim을 0.5, 1.0 및 2.0 ppm 수준으로 첨가하여 회수율을 측정한 결과 그 평균값은 89.1%이었다. APcI source를 사용한 LC/MS 질량스펙트럼 방법은 콩나물중 carbendazim 잔류분을 최종 확인할 수 있었다. APcI LC/MS 방법은 전자충격에 의한 질량스펙트럼에 비해 훨씬 간단한 fragment를 형성할 뿐 만 아니라 carbendazim의 경우 m/z 133, m/z 159, m/z 191($M^{+}$)의 전형적인 fragment 이온을 형성하므로, 이 방법을 병행한다면 콩나물중 carbendazim 잔류분을 효과적으로 확인할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

몇 가지 종류의 corticosteroid에 대하여 액체 크로마토그래피-질량분석법으로 양이온 질량 스펙트럼을 얻었다. 화학구조에 따라 수소 첨가된 분자이온 [$MH^+$], 암모늄 첨가이온 [${MNH_4}^+$], 또는 ($MH^+-60$) 이온이 base peak였고 [$MH^+-18$] 또는 [${MNH_4}^+-18$] 이온 등이 특성적으로 나타났다. Methylprednisolone acetate를 male Sprague-Dawley rat에 경구투여한 다음 24시간 동안 배설된 뇨로부터 유리상태 또는 접합상태의 대사물질들을 가수분해, 추출 및 농축하고, thermospray LC/MS를 사용하여 양이온과 음이온 질량토막이온을 분석하였다. Methylprednisolone acetate의 C-21 위치에서의 탈아세틸화(deacetylation), C-20 위치에서 C=0의 -CHOH로의 환원, C-11 위치에서 CHOH의 C=0로의 산화 또는 C-17과 C-20 사이의 bond cleavage등에 의해 생성되는 것으로 추정되는 10여종의 대사물질을 검출하였다. 그 중에 20-hydroxymethylprednisolone(20-HMP), methylprednisolone(MP), methylprednisone(11-KMP)등은 표준물질과 비교 확인하였다.

A sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method was developed to determine valproic acid in human red blood cell (RBC). It is important to measure the drug concentration of the RBC as well as that of the plasma because of drug partitioning for pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic study. The method was linear over the dynamic range of 1-100 ${\mu}g$/mL with a correlation coefficient $r$ = 0.9997. The linearity of this method was established from 1 to 100 ${\mu}g$/mL for valproic acid in red blood cell with accuracy and precision within 15% at all concentrations. The intra-run and inter-run assay accuracy and coefficient of variations are all within 15% for all QC samples prepared in plasma and red blood human samples. Then, valproic acid amount by protein precipitation in plasma was quantified by LC-MS/MS mass spectrometry. The distribution ratio of VPA in RBC and plasma was analyzed by clinical samples. Based on measurement of the valproic acid in human red blood cell, this method has been applied to clinical research for study of distribution ratio of valproic acid in blood.

BACKGROUND: Plant extracts have been used as environment friendly agricultural materials for organic farming in South Korea. However safety evaluation on the plant extracts was not properly tested. The aim of this study was to evaluate safety of the extracts from Melia azedarach, Nerium indicum and Coptis chinensis on cultivating rice. METHODS AND RESULTS: Pant extarcts 300-fold diluted were treated on rice, and residues of M. azedarach, N. indicum and C. chinensis were determined. The analytes from the rice samples were detected by liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). The method was validated, and good linearities ($r^2=0.995-0.998$), specificity, and recoveries were obtained. Limits of detection were 0.01 mg/kg for all of the target compounds. Recoveries were 79.3-118.3% at 0.1 mg/kg and 75.2-111.5% at 0.5 mg/kg. The residue levels were below 0.030 mg/kg for azadirachtin, 0.320 mg/kg for oleandrin and 1.460 mg/kg for berberine. CONCLUSION(S): The extracts of M. azedarach, N. indicum and C. chinensis contained azadirachtin, oleandrin and berberine as an active ingredient, respectively. The residue of three active ingredients dramatically decreased after treatment in all fruits, stems and roots of rice.

For precise identification of a Lactobacillus K1 isolate, LC-MS/MS analysis of the putative surface layer protein was performed. The results obtained from LTQ-FT-ICR mass spectrometry confirmed that the analyzed protein spot is the surface layer protein originating from Lb. helveticus species. Moreover, the identified protein has the highest similarity with the surface layer protein from Lb. helveticus R0052. To evaluate the proteomic study, multilocus sequence analysis of selected housekeeping gene sequences was performed. Combination of 16S rRNA sequencing with partial sequences for the genes encoding the RNA polymerase alpha subunit (rpoA), phenylalanyl-tRNA synthase alpha subunit (pheS), translational elongation factor Tu (tuf), and Hsp60 chaperonins (groEL) also allowed to classify the analyzed isolate as Lb. helveticus. Further classification at the strain level was achieved by sequencing of the slp gene. This gene showed 99.8% identity with the corresponding slp gene of Lb. helveticus R0052, which is in good agreement with data obtained by nano-HPLC coupled to an LTQ-FT-ICR mass spectrometer. Finally, LC-MS/MS analysis of surface layer proteins extracted from three other Lactobacillus strains proved that the proposed method is the appropriate molecular tool for the identification of S-layer-possessing lactobacilli at the species and even strain levels.

A simple, sensitive and selective liquid chromatographic/tandem mass spectrometric method (LC-MS/MS) was developed and validated for doxifluridine and 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) quantification in dog heparinized plasma. Sample preparation was based on liquid-liquid extraction using a mixture of isopropanol/ethyl acetate (1/9 v/v) to extract doxifluridine, 5-FU and 5-chlorouracil (5-CU, an internal standard) from plasma. Chromatography was performed on a C-18 analytical column and the retention times were 2.7, 1.5 and 1.7 min for doxifluridine, 5-FU and 5-CU, respectively with shorter analysis time within 5 min than previously reported methods. The ionization was optimized using ESI negative mode and selectivity was achieved by tandem mass spectrometric analysis by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) using the transformations of m/z 244.8>107.6, 129.0>42.0 and 144.9>42.1 for doxifluridine, 5-FU and 5-CU, respectively. The achieved low limit of quantification was 20.0 ng/mL and the assay exhibited linear range of 20-2000 ng/mL ($R^2>0.99957$ for doxifluridine and $R^2>0.99857$ for 5-FU), using $100{\mu}L$ of plasma. Accuracy and precision of quality control samples for both doxifluridine and 5-FU met KFDA and FDA Guidance criteria of 15% for accuracy with coefficients of variation less than 15%. This method demonstrated adequate sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, precision and stability to support the simultaneous analysis of doxifluridine and 5-FU in dog plasma samples in pharmacokinetic and bioequivalence studies.
