This paper described an improved method for high-throughput and sensitive determination of zearalenone and its five metabolites (zearalanone, α-zearalenol, β-zearalenol, α-zearalanol and β-zearalanol) in human serum. Serum samples were measured both before and after enzyme hydrolysis to assess the free and total amount of each compound by ultra-performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) in multi reaction monitoring (MRM) mode following off-line 96-well μElution solid-phase extraction (SPE). All the analytes were completely separated on a C18 column within 6 min. It enabled multi-sample preparation at the same time eliminating tedious evaporation and reconstitution steps, allowing 96 (one plate) samples to be processed and analyzed within 24 h. Using an isotope labelled internal standard (13C-ZEN), high recoveries were achieved for all the compounds in the range 91.6%–119.5%, with intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) of less than 8%. The limits of detection (LOD) and the limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0.02–0.06 ng mL−1 (0.6–2 fmol) and 0.1–0.2 ng mL−1 (3–6 fmol), respectively, demonstrating a notable enhancement in sensitivity compared to the existing methods. The validated method was applied to the analysis of paired urine and serum samples collected from 125 healthy individuals in Henan Province, locating in the middle area of China. ZEN metabolites in human serum were significantly lower than those in urine. Only one serum sample was positive for ZEN after enzyme digestion, whereas at least one of ZEN biomarkers was detected in 75.2% of the paired urine samples. Some comparison and discussion were also included in this paper.

The contribution of the metabolites of linezolid to the associated myelosuppression is unknown in patients who are renal impairment. In this research, the purpose of our experiment was to explore and develop a quick and robust ultra performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) assay for the determination of linezolid and its metabolite PNU-142300 in human serum simultaneously. The analytes were prepared using a simple and convenient approach with acetonitrile for protein crash, and then separated from the matrix on a Waters Acquity Ultra performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) BEH C18 (2.1 mm × 50 mm, 1.7 μm) column in a program of gradient elution, where the mobile phase was consisted of water with 0.1% formic acid and acetonitrile, and was placed at 0.40 ml/min flow rate. Multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was employed and conducted for UPLC-MS/MS detection with ion transitions at m/z 338.01 → 296.03 for linezolid, m/z 369.96 → 327.98 for PNU-142300 and m/z 370.98 → 342.99 for tedizolid (Internal standard, IS), respectively. This method had good linearity respectively in the calibration range of 0.01–20 μg/ml for linezolid, and 0.05–100 μg/ml for PNU-142300. In the intra- and inter-day, the precision of linezolid and PNU-142300 was below 14.2%, and the accuracy in this method was determined to be from −9.7 to 12.8%. In addition, recovery and matrix effect of the analytes were all found to be acceptable, and the analytes during the assay and storage in serum samples were observed to be stable. The novel optimized UPLC-MS/MS assay was also successfully employed to determine the concentration levels of linezolid and PNU-142300 in human serum. The results showed that linezolid-associated myelosuppression occurs more frequently in patients with renal insufficiency, and the metabolite-to-parent concentration ratio of PNU-142300 is predicted to reduce this toxicity of myelosuppression.

Background: Retinol and vitamin E are fat-soluble vitamins crucial for human health, yet their isomers’ distributions in the human body are still known roughly. In order to figure out the physical condition and evaluate the nutritional status of an individual, it is imperative to analyze retinol and VE isomers in human serum. Objective: This work aims to establish a rapid and simple high-performance liquid chromatography with fluorescence detection for simultaneous determination of retinol and vitamin E isomers in human serum. Methods: Separation was accomplished on a common C18 column thermostated at 25 oC, using a simple isocratic elution program of methanol/acetonitrile (85:15, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 mL/min. Fluorescence detection was operated using excitation/emission wavelengths of 329 nm/472 nm for retinol and 294 nm/338 nm for VE isomers, respectively. Results: Rapid separation was achieved within 13 min. Linear ranges of the method were 0.020-50.0 µg/mL, with correlation coefficients greater than 0.999. Detection limits and the quantification limits were 0.001-0.004 µg/mL and 0.003- 0.013 µg/mL, respectively. Mean recoveries were 84.1%- 98.2%, with intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations less than 12.3% and 13.6%, respectively. This method has been applied to the simultaneous determination of retinol and 8 VE isomers in human serum samples with satisfactory results. Conclusion: A rapid, simple and robust method was developed for routine analysis of retinol and eight vitamin E isomers in human serum, providing a useful tool for clinical diagnosis and nutritional evaluation.

Abstract In response to recent discoveries of acrylamide in heated foods, a solid-phase extraction and cleanup protocol was developed for the determination of acrylamide in fried or baked potato samples by liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS). The analyte was extracted from the matrix by using 2M NaCl, and an aliquot of the initial extract was loaded onto a reversed-phase cartridge. After the analyte was eluted from the cartridge, the eluate was cleaned up on a mixed-mode cation-exchange cartridge. The eluate was then evaporated, and the residue was reconstituted in mobile phase before LC/MS analysis. Recoveries, based on the recovery of an added internal standard, ranged from 96 to 101% with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 5–11%. The response was linear for a concentration range of 100–2000 ng/g with a coefficient of determination (R2)of 0.992 (n = 25). An interday study showed good accuracy and precision of the method over a 3-day period with a recovery of 98% and an RSD of 9.5% (n = 15). The analyses of 6 potato chip samples showed concentrations of incurred acrylamide ranging from 260 to 1500 ng/g.

Abstract Background: Microcystins, as secondary metabolites of cyanobacteria, are hepatotoxic to humans through the ingestion of cyanobacteria-contaminated water. Microcystins with diverse congeners in water can be precisely quantified using online solid phase extraction-ultra performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (online-SPE UPLC-MS/MS). A method was developed and validated to simultaneously quantify eight microcystin congeners in water using online-SPE UPLC-MS/MS.Results: The method achieved the highest efficiency and sensitivity by selecting acetonitrile with 0.1% formic acid and water with 0.1% formic acid as the best mobile phase conditions. Linearity, accuracy, and precision were validated on matrix-mixed water with the leucine enkephalin internal standard. The limit of detection calculated using the signal-to-noise ratio of 3 passed the surface water daily inspection for microcystins. Except for the lower recovery of individual substances at individual concentrations, the recoveries of the remaining microcystin congeners ranged from 70 to 130%, and the relative standard deviation was less than 10%.Conclusion: The method was used to analyze microcystins in 12 water samples collected from Chaohu Lake. The sum of all microcystin congeners ranged from 101 to 585 ng L-1 in water (<WHO drinking water safe limit of 1 μg L-1 for microcystin-LR).
