Abstract

Solutes analysed with LC-MS are characterised by their retention times and mass spectra, and quantified by the intensities measured. This highly selective information can be extracted by multiway modelling. However, for full use and interpretability it is necessary that the assumptions made for the model are valid. For PARAFAC modelling, the assumption is a trilinear data structure. With LC-MS, several factors, e.g. non-linear detector response and ionisation suppression may introduce deviations from trilinearity. The single largest problem, however, is the retention time shifts not related to the true sample variations. In this paper, a time warping algorithm for alignment of LC-MS data in the chromatographic direction has been examined. Several refinements have been implemented and the features are demonstrated for both simulated and real data. With moderate time shifts present in the data, pre-processing with this algorithm yields approximately trilinear data for which reasonable models can be made.

Method for multiresidue determination of halogenated aromatics and PAHs in combustion-related samples.

Flue gas and fly ash samples have a complex composition. Thus, thorough extraction and selective cleanup prior to analysis are essential. This paper presents an evaluated method for determining halogenated dibenzo-p-dioxins (PXDD), halogenated dibenzofurans (PXDF), chlorinated biphenyls (PCB), chlorobenzenes (CBz), -phenols (CPh), dibenzo-p-dioxins (DD), dibenzofurans (DF), and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAH) in a single sample. Since these combustion byproducts are ubiquitous, harmful environmental contaminants it is very important to obtain reliable assessments of them: especially specific PCDD/F and PCB congeners with Ah-receptor mediated toxicity. The reported method for this purpose includes techniques such as solid-phase extraction, Soxhlet-Dean-Stark extraction, cleanup using open liquid chromatographic columns, and finally GC/MS analysis/determination with quantification by the isotope dilution technique. The validation results presented here show good reproducibility for PXDD/F and PCB and are satisfactory for CPh, CBz, and PAH. An extraction efficiency test revealed that a nonpolar solvent did not completely extract a few analytes, i.e., diCPh and fluorene, which appear to require a more polar extraction agent. To pinpoint and minimize the loss of analytes, specific studies on reductions of their amounts during sample concentration were performed, showing that traditional rotary evaporation and nitrogen blow-down produce equally good results as a novel technique.

Characterization of antisense oligonucleotide-peptide conjugates with negative ionization electrospray mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry.

Covalent post-synthesis or solid-phase conjugation of peptides to oligonucleotides has been reported as a possible method of delivering antisense oligonucleotides into cells. While synthesis strategies for preparing these conjugates have been widely addressed, few detailed reports on their structural characterization have been published. This paper discusses the negative ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometric (ESI-MS) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometric (LC-MS) analysis of various peptide-oligonucleotide conjugates ranging from small T(6)-nucleopeptides to large peptide-oligonucleotide phosphorothioate conjugates and ribozyme-peptide hybrids (3-13 kDa). Molecular weight determination with mass errors of 0.1-3.1 amu were conducted, employing on-line IP-RP-HPLC and high m/z range mode to facilitate the analysis of large compounds and difficult modifications.

LC-MS-MS determination of brostallicin in human plasma following automated on-line SPE.

LC-MS-MS method using automated on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE) has been developed and validated for the quantitation of brostallicin (I), a new distamycin derivative, in human plasma. I is a DNA minor groove binder currently under phase I-II clinical evaluation as an anticancer drug. Plasma (0.4 ml) was spiked with 0.2 ml stable label IS solution and placed in a 96-well plate maintained at +4 degrees C. Aliquots of 0.1 ml of prepared samples were loaded into the on-line SPE HySphere Resin SH cartridges (10 mm x 2 mm ID) and the analytes back eluted with the mobile phase into LC-MS-MS system. A Platinum Cyano column (100 mm x 4.6 mm, 3.6 microm) was used to perform the chromatographic analysis. The mobile phase was acetonitrile-ammonium formate buffer (pH 3.5; 20 mM) (70:30, v/v) at a flow rate of 1.0 ml/min. LC flow was split so that 300 microl/min was directed toward the mass spectrometer interface. Retention time of I was 2.6 min and the total cycle time was 8 min. MS detection used an Applied Biosystems/MDS SCIEX API 365 with a TurboIonSpray interface and MRM (m/Z: 725/257 for I and m/Z: 729/257 for IS) operated in positive ion mode. The method was validated over the calibration range 0.124-497 ng/ml. A negligible carry-over effect from the system was observed. In spite of the known instability of I in human plasma (about 20% decrease over 12 h), the ratio analyte/IS peak area showed good stability over the analysis time required for 96 samples. The automated on-line SPE method can be considered as a valid alternative to the off-line manual SPE procedure previously developed.
