Rationale

Linaclotide is an important peptide drug used to treat irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C). However, structurally related impurities in peptide drugs can be generated during synthesis, storage, or transport, which compromise the quality and safety. Therefore, developing a highly sensitive analytical method for impurity detection is of great significance.

Methods

A liquid chromatography–high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) method was developed. Linaclotide samples were directly analyzed using an Orbitrap mass spectrometer with an electrospray ionization (ESI) source operated in positive ion mode. Tandem mass spectrometry with collision-induced dissociation was utilized. The method leveraged high mass accuracy to identify and quantify structurally related peptide impurities in linaclotide samples from different manufacturers.

Results

The method was applied to characterize the peptide impurities in linaclotide study materials. In manufacturer A's material, [Des-Tyr14]-linaclotide was found at 0.453 mg/g. The same impurity was found in manufacturer B's material at 0.768 mg/g, as well as another impurity [endo-Ala9]-linaclotide at 0.555 mg/g.

Conclusions

The developed LC-HRMS method successfully addresses the challenge of determining structurally related peptide impurities in linaclotide. Its ability to characterize specific impurities provides a valuable complement to existing quality control strategies for peptide therapeutics.

利那洛肽是治疗肠易激综合征伴便秘(IBS-C)的重要肽类药物。然而,多肽药物在合成、储存或运输过程中会产生结构相关杂质,影响其质量和安全性。因此,开发一种高灵敏度的杂质检测分析方法具有重要意义。方法建立液相色谱-高分辨质谱联用方法。采用正离子模式电喷雾电离(ESI)源的Orbitrap质谱仪对利那氯肽样品进行直接分析。采用碰撞诱导解离串联质谱法。该方法利用高质量精度来鉴定和定量来自不同厂家的利那氯肽样品中结构相关的肽杂质。结果该方法可用于利那洛肽研究材料中多肽杂质的表征。在制造商A的材料中,[Des-Tyr14]-linaclotide的含量为0.453 mg/g。在B厂家的原料中也发现了同样的杂质,含量为0.768 mg/g,另一种杂质[endo-Ala9]-linaclotide含量为0.555 mg/g。结论建立的LC-HRMS方法成功地解决了利那洛肽结构相关肽杂质测定的难题。它表征特定杂质的能力为现有的肽治疗质量控制策略提供了有价值的补充。

Rationale

The search for novel natural compounds and the identification of known ones is a challenge for the scientists working in different fields of plant science. Due to its accessibility, GC–MS is the most frequently applied method for analysis of extracts and fractions from plants of the subfamily Amaryllidoideae (Amaryllidaceae s.s.), known as a source of molecules with potent anti-acetylcholinesterase, anti-tumour, and antiprotozoal activities.

Methods

Thirty-four standard alkaloids with haemanthamine- and crinine-type scaffolds were subjected to electron impact gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) to determine their fragmentation patterns. Additionally, underivatised and silylated alkaloid fractions from several Amaryllidoideae plants were also analysed by GC–MS.

Results

Most of the compounds showed excellent separation and specific MS fragmentation allowing rapid structural determination. The degree of saturation of ring C and the substituents at C3, C6, and C11 impact the fragmentation of these molecules. GC–MS allowed differentiation of the epimers at C3. Silylation of compounds with hydroxyl groups at C6 and C11 improved the resolution, especially of C6-OH epimers. Analyses of alkaloid fractions from different Amaryllidaceae plants resulted in the tentative identification of five new alkaloids on the basis of their fragmentation pattern and comparison of their mass spectra with those of standard compounds.

Conclusions

GC–MS can be effectively employed for the discovery of novel bioactive compounds and the identification of known ones, as well as for chemotaxonomic and chemoecological studies, among other applications, within the Amaryllidoideae subfamily.

对从事植物科学不同领域的科学家来说,寻找新的天然化合物和鉴定已知化合物是一个挑战。由于其可及性,气相色谱-质谱是最常用的分析方法,用于分析从Amaryllidoideae亚科(amarylliidaceae s.s.)植物中提取的提取物和组分。Amaryllidoideae亚科是一种具有抗乙酰胆碱酯酶、抗肿瘤和抗原虫活性的分子来源。方法采用电子冲击气相色谱-质谱(GC-MS)法测定34种标准生物碱的破碎模式。此外,还采用气相色谱-质谱法分析了几种香蓟科植物的未叶化和硅烷化生物碱组分。结果大多数化合物具有良好的分离性和特异的质谱碎片,可快速测定其结构。环C和C3、C6、C11取代基的饱和程度影响了这些分子的断裂。GC-MS允许C3处的外显体分化。含有C6和C11羟基的化合物的硅基化提高了分辨率,特别是C6- oh外显体。通过对不同苋菜科植物的生物碱组分进行分析,并与标准化合物的质谱比较,初步鉴定出5种新的生物碱。结论气相色谱-质谱法可以有效地用于发现和鉴定新的生物活性化合物,以及化学分类学和化学生态学等方面的研究。

Rationale

Increasingly, more laboratories are measuring the triple oxygen isotope values of phosphate. Standardization is key to having good interlaboratory results. Here, we present the triple oxygen isotope values of a suite of standards using fluorination and compare them with previously reported triple oxygen isotope values.

Methods

Silver phosphate (~2–3 mg) was fluorinated in nickel reaction vessels, and the resulting O2 was analyzed on a Thermo MAT 253 for the paired δ17O-δ18O value (Δ′17O). Although the δ18O and δ17O values were variable, the fluorination reaction progresses along a slope of ~0.528, indicating that the Δ′17O is constant when calculated using a λref = 0.528. The 18O/16O ratio was obtained using a TC/EA, and the δ17O value was corrected based on the measured Δ′17O value from fluorination and the δ18O values obtained on the TC/EA.

Results

We provide δ17O, δ18O, and Δ′17O values for the following silver phosphate standards: NBS120c, USGS80, USGS81, AGLox, and B2207. Two new standards are also reported and available for distribution. To report our values on the VSMOW2-SLAP2 scale, we measured common silicate standards: San Carlos Olivine, NBS28, NMQ, and SKFS that have been calibrated to VSMOW2-SLAP2. Our reported Δ′17O error for silver phosphate is 10 per meg, calculated using the average long-term standard deviation of our two most replicated standards.

Conclusions

We report the δ17O, δ18O, and Δ′17O values for a large suite of silver phosphate standards and present two new standards that can be used for interlaboratory calibration. Our results are reported on the VSMOW2-SLAP2 scale by measuring silicates on the same instrument with the same reference gas. The fluorination method in nickel reaction vessels is easily adapted to other laboratories that have fluorination lines. Only 2–3 mg of silver phosphate is needed for Δ′17O measurements when paired with δ18O values using the TC-EA technique.

越来越多的实验室开始测量磷酸盐的三氧同位素值。标准化是获得良好实验室间结果的关键。在这里,我们提出了一套使用氟化的标准的三氧同位素值,并将它们与以前报道的三氧同位素值进行比较。方法在镍反应容器中氟化磷酸银(~2 ~ 3 mg),用Thermo MAT 253对生成的O2进行配对Δ 17O-δ18O值(Δ’17O)分析。虽然Δ 18o和Δ 17O值是可变的,但氟化反应沿~0.528的斜率进行,这表明当λref = 0.528时,Δ ' 17O是恒定的。18O/16O比值通过TC/EA得到,Δ 17O值根据氟化测定的Δ ' 17O值和TC/EA得到的Δ 18O值进行校正。我们提供了以下磷酸银标准品:NBS120c、USGS80、USGS81、AGLox和B2207的Δ 17O、Δ 18o和Δ ' 17O值。还报告了两个新标准,可供分发。为了报告我们在VSMOW2-SLAP2尺度上的值,我们测量了常见的硅酸盐标准:San Carlos Olivine, NBS28, NMQ和SKFS,这些标准已被校准为VSMOW2-SLAP2。我们报告的Δ ' 17O磷酸银误差为10 / meg,使用我们两个最重复标准的平均长期标准偏差计算。我们报告了大量磷酸银标准品的Δ 17O、Δ 18o和Δ ' 17O值,并提出了两种可用于实验室间校准的新标准品。我们在VSMOW2-SLAP2标度上用相同的仪器和相同的参考气体测量硅酸盐,报道了我们的结果。镍反应容器中的氟化方法很容易适用于其他有氟化线的实验室。当使用TC-EA技术与Δ 18o值配对时,仅需要2-3 mg磷酸银用于Δ ' 17O测量。

Methods

The component composition of essential oils of Bilacunaria microcarpa (M. Bieb.) Pimenov & V.N.Tikhom. and Peucedanum ruthenicum M. Bieb. distributed in the flora of Azerbaijan was studied using the method of gas chromatography–mass spectroscopy.

Results

In the composition of the essential oil of B. microcarpa, 70 components were found, of which 59 were identified; the mains of them are beta-phellandrene (12.86%), beta-pinene (10.18%), O-cymol (8.84%), L-borneol (7.85%), 1R-alpha-pinene (7.64%), caryophyllene (7.37%), beta-caryophyllene oxide (4.43%), and β-elemene (3.97%).

Rationale

Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT-ICR MS) is the gold standard in MS petroleomics due to its ultrahigh resolution and mass accuracy. But its high acquisition and maintenance costs limit accessibility. High-field Orbitrap (HFO) mass spectrometry is emerging as a promising alternative, but further evaluation is needed to determine its effectiveness in key analytical challenges of petroleomics, such as the molecular characterization of crude oils from different geological origins.

Methods

Ten crude oil samples from the Brazilian pre-salt region (five each of marine and lacustrine origin from two distinct sedimentary basins) were analyzed using ESI(−) FT-ICR MS and ESI(−) HFO MS (resolution: 840 000 at m/z 400). Molecular formula assignments were classified into heteroatom groups (NSO), and the data were interpreted using box plots, DBE vs. carbon number diagrams, and principal component analysis.

Results

HFO assigned ca. 2500 molecular formulae, compared to ca. 4500 assigned by FT-ICR. Despite this 45% lower performance, HFO preserved the overall profile of the major heteroatom classes. Notably, S1O4-containing compounds, which are critical markers, were identified at higher abundances with HFO, whereas marine and lacustrine oils were successfully discriminated based on NSO profiles, DBE, and carbon number. Marine oils exhibited higher oxygen content, DBE, and carbon number, whereas lacustrine oils showed relatively higher nitrogen content.

Conclusions

Despite reduced performance in formula assignments as compared to FT-ICR, HFO successfully distinguished crude oils of different geochemical origins. The present results indicate therefore that HFO, although displaying inferior performance than FT-ICR, particularly above m/z 400, still displays good enough mass resolution and accuracy sufficient to provide high quality petroleomic data normally required in most, if not all, common MS petroleomic investigations.

原理:傅里叶变换离子回旋共振质谱(FT-ICR MS)因其超高分辨率和质量精度而成为质谱石油组学的黄金标准。但其高昂的获取和维护成本限制了可访问性。高场轨道阱(High-field Orbitrap, HFO)质谱法是一种很有前景的替代方法,但需要进一步评估其在石油组学关键分析挑战中的有效性,例如不同地质来源原油的分子表征。方法:采用ESI(-) FT-ICR质谱和ESI(-) HFO质谱(分辨率:84万,m/z 400)对巴西盐下区10份原油样品(海相和湖相各5份)进行分析。分子式分配被划分为杂原子基团(NSO),数据使用箱形图、DBE与碳数图和主成分分析进行解释。结果:HFO分配了约2500个分子式,而FT-ICR分配了约4500个分子式。尽管性能降低了45%,但HFO保留了主要杂原子类的总体特征。值得注意的是,含s104的化合物是关键的标记物,用HFO鉴定出了更高的丰度,而根据NSO剖面、DBE和碳数成功地区分了海相和湖相油。海相油表现出较高的氧含量、DBE和碳数,而湖相油表现出较高的氮含量。结论:尽管与FT-ICR相比,HFO在公式赋值方面的性能有所降低,但它成功地区分了不同地球化学来源的原油。因此,目前的结果表明,HFO虽然表现不如FT-ICR,特别是在m/z 400以上,但仍然具有足够的质量分辨率和精度,足以提供大多数(如果不是全部的话)常见质谱石油勘探通常需要的高质量石油数据。

Rationale

Dissociation is a critical analytical method in mass spectrometry research. Among various dissociation techniques, higher energy collision dissociation (HCD) stands out as a pivotal tool due to its ability to generate more low-mass fragment ions and directly perform dissociation during mass spectrometric detection. However, existing HCD implementations rely on specialized instrument configurations, such as collision cell structures or triple quadrupole mass spectrometers, which inevitably increase instrument development costs and technical complexity. To address this limitation, this study proposes an HCD method based on dual-pressure linear ion trap mass spectrometry that requires no additional hardware modifications.

Methods

Instead, it achieves HCD solely by optimizing the instrument's gas flow system and control parameters. By employing a nitrogen-helium gas mixture as the collision gas and testing with a reserpine standard sample, optimal dissociation conditions were obtained through adjustments to the gas mixture ratio and ion trap DC offset voltage settings.

Results

This approach successfully realizes in-trap HCD directly within the dual-pressure linear ion trap, eliminating the need for a dedicated collision cell. Furthermore, it enables HCD-based MS3 functionality, a capability unavailable in traditional triple quadrupole systems.

Conclusions

Validation experiments using veterinary drug residues fenoterol and ractopamine demonstrated the method's universality by comparing its dissociation results with those from conventional ion trap collision-induced dissociation (CID) and triple quadrupole method. The findings confirm that this strategy can be extended to other ion trap mass spectrometry platforms, offering broader applicability.

原理:解离是质谱研究中的一种关键分析方法。在各种解离技术中,高能碰撞解离(HCD)由于能够产生更多的低质量碎片离子并在质谱检测中直接进行解离而成为一种关键工具。然而,现有的HCD实现依赖于专门的仪器配置,如碰撞单元结构或三重四极杆质谱仪,这不可避免地增加了仪器开发成本和技术复杂性。为了解决这一限制,本研究提出了一种基于双压线性离子阱质谱的HCD方法,不需要额外的硬件修改。方法:单纯通过优化仪器的气流系统和控制参数来实现HCD。以氮气-氦气混合气体为碰撞气体,以利血平标准样品进行测试,通过调整气体混合比和离子阱直流偏置电压设置,获得最佳解离条件。结果:该方法成功地在双压线性离子阱中直接实现了阱内HCD,消除了对专用碰撞池的需要。此外,它还支持基于hcd的MS3功能,这是传统三重四极杆系统无法实现的功能。结论:利用兽药残留非诺特罗和莱克多巴胺进行验证实验,与传统离子阱碰撞诱导解离(CID)法和三重四极杆法的解离结果进行比较,证明了该方法的普遍性。研究结果证实,该策略可以扩展到其他离子阱质谱平台,提供更广泛的适用性。

Rationale

Chemicals migrating from plastic and take-out food packaging can leach into food, posing inherent health risks to consumers. Given the ubiquitous use of plastic packaging in daily diets, reliable analytical methods for detecting restricted substances in food contact materials are imperative for safeguarding public health.

Methods

A novel analytical method, coupling gas chromatography–mass spectrometry (GC–MS) with liquid–liquid extraction for sample pretreatment, was established for the simultaneous separation and quantification of 15 common restricted substances (10 plasticizers, 1 antioxidant, and 4 ultraviolet absorbers) migrating from food plastic packaging materials into food products.

Results

The method exhibited excellent linearity (correlation coefficients, r > 0.99) across wide concentration ranges, with limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.005 to 0.046 mg/L. Validation data showed average recoveries of 72.30%–109.03% and relative standard deviations (RSDs, n = 6) of 1.13%–26.50%, confirming its analytical reliability.

Conclusions

This method enables rapid and accurate determination of the 15 target restricted substances, facilitating migration monitoring in food plastic packaging and strengthening technical support for food safety assessment in daily and take-out food contexts.

Rationale

The Delta Ray Isotope Ratio Infrared Spectrometer enables to determine δ13C and δ18O values of CO2. The measurements are calibrated against internal reference gas standards. For discrete carbonate or dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) samples, the manufacturer recommends a calibration against two isotopically different carbonate standard materials (i.e., a 2-point calibration). Here, we show that this method is not sufficient because the measured values may drift significantly over the duration of a measurement run (i.e., 58 samples in approximately 24 h).

Methods

We developed a new measurement routine applying a 3-point calibration and a tight standard-bracketing. In addition, we present an R code to automatically evaluate and calibrate the measured data.

Results

Our standard-bracketing technique can effectively correct drifts of more than 1‰ not accounted for by the internally calibrated data. A 3-point calibration with four samples bracketed by two sets of standards provides the highest precision and accuracy, that is, the highest reproducibility for our carbonate samples. The third standard stabilizes the calibration curve and enables to better identify individual outliers.

Conclusions

Our standard-bracketing method enables accurate and precise (< 0.1‰) measurements of δ13C and δ18O values of calcite and DIC using the Delta Ray IRIS over a large range of values (ranging from approximately −37‰ to +2‰ in δ13C and from approximately −25‰ to −2‰ in δ18O).

原理:Delta射线同位素比值红外光谱仪能够测定CO2的δ13C和δ18O值。测量是根据内部参考气体标准校准的。对于离散碳酸盐或溶解无机碳(DIC)样品,制造商建议针对两种同位素不同的碳酸盐标准材料进行校准(即两点校准)。在这里,我们表明这种方法是不够的,因为测量值可能在测量运行的持续时间内显著漂移(即,在大约24小时内58个样本)。方法:我们开发了一种新的测量程序,采用三点校准和紧密的标准支架。此外,我们还提供了一个R代码来自动评估和校准测量数据。结果:我们的标准括号法可以有效地校正内部校准数据不能解释的1‰以上的漂移。由两套标准包夹的四个样品的三点校准提供了最高的精度和准确性,也就是说,我们的碳酸盐样品的可重复性最高。第三个标准使校准曲线稳定,能够更好地识别个别异常值。结论:我们的标准包套方法使方解石和DIC的13C和δ18O值在大范围内(δ13C约为-37‰至+2‰,δ18O约为-25‰至-2‰)准确和精确。

Rationale

Zircon Zr isotopic variations hold great potential for tracing magmatic crystallization and differentiation processes, although the mechanisms of Zr isotopic fractionation remain highly debated. High spatial resolution, nearly non-destructive Zr isotopic analysis of zircon, allows for a more detailed investigation of Zr isotopic variations in structurally complex or tiny zircons.

Methods

This study systematically optimized key parameters (e.g., primary beam current, beam diameter, raster size,and signal acquisition time) and further evaluated the topography effect using dynamic transfer parameters, ultimately establishing a high spatial resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) method for zircon Zr isotope microanalysis.

Results

The internal precision (twice the standard error [2SE]) for δ94Zr measurements in zircon reference materials (i.e., Mudtank, Penglai, Plešovice, Tanz) ranged from 0.07‰ to 0.16‰, with external reproducibility better than 0.15‰ (twice the standard deviation [2SD]). The Zr isotopic compositions of reference materials measured by SIMS agree remarkably well with the recommended values by double-spike solution methods. Our method consumes ~0.05 ng of mineral material in a single spot analysis with a high spatial resolution of ~10 × 9 μm2 and a pit depth of ~0.5 μm.

Conclusions

This nearly nondestructive technique is suitable for analyzing structurally complex or precious samples, such as zircon from lunar soil, advancing the study of magmatic processes.

理论基础:锆石Zr同位素变化在追踪岩浆结晶和分异过程方面具有很大的潜力,尽管Zr同位素分异的机制仍然存在很大的争议。高空间分辨率、几乎无损的锆石Zr同位素分析,可以更详细地研究结构复杂或微小锆石中Zr同位素的变化。方法:系统优化主要参数(如主光束电流、光束直径、光栅尺寸、信号采集时间等),并利用动态传递参数进一步评价地形效应,最终建立高空间分辨率锆石Zr同位素微量分析的二次离子质谱(SIMS)方法。结果:Mudtank、蓬莱、Plešovice、Tanz等锆石对照品中δ94Zr测定的内部精密度(2倍标准误差[2SE])为0.07‰~ 0.16‰,外部重现性优于0.15‰(2倍标准偏差[2SD])。SIMS测定的标准物质的Zr同位素组成与双峰溶液法的推荐值吻合得非常好。该方法在单点分析中消耗~0.05 ng矿物材料,空间分辨率为~10 × 9 μm2,坑深为~0.5 μm。结论:这种近乎无损的方法适用于分析月球土壤中锆石等结构复杂或珍贵的样品,促进了岩浆过程的研究。

Niphidium crassifolium (Linnaeus) Lellinger is a fern from the Polypodiaceae family, native to Central and South America, with traditional uses in herbal medicine. Despite its recognized ethnomedical value, its phytochemical composition has not been extensively studied. This pioneering work aimed to determine the metabolite profile from rhizomes of N. crassifolium, to quantify the contents of phenols and flavonoids, and to evaluate their antioxidant and antibacterial activities.

Methods

Metabolite characterization was performed using LC-MS/MS, while radical scavenging activity (DPPH and ABTS•+ assays) was used to estimate in vitro antioxidant potential. Trolox was used as reference standard in both assays. Phenolic and flavonoid contents as well as antioxidant activity were evaluated in four anatomical parts: complete rhizome, proximal rhizome, distal rhizome, and adventitious root.

Results

This study identified the presence of saponins, phytoecdysteroids, flavones, phenolic acids, and phenolic glycosides. Proximal rhizome exhibited the highest phenolic content (264.6 ± 0.15 mg GAE/g), whereas adventitious root showed the highest flavonoid content (54.0 ± 0.47 mg RUE/g). Median effective concentration of proximal rhizome was 50.4 ± 0.03 μg/mL (DPPH) and 310.7 ± 1.9 μg/mL (ABTS•+), compared to Trolox values of 37.4 ± 0.01 μg/mL and 155.0 ± 0.3 μg/mL, respectively (p < 0.05). Despite slightly higher EC50 values than Trolox, proximal rhizome's antioxidant capacity was statistically significant (p < 0.05). Plant exhibited selective antibacterial activity against Gram-positive bacteria, particularly Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 6538 (inhibition halo, 16.5 ± 0.09 mm; minimum inhibitory concentration, 13 370 μg/mL) and Bacillus spizizenii ATCC 6633 (inhibition halo, 12.6 ± 0.40 mm; minimum inhibitory concentration, 3 230 μg/mL).

Conclusions

These findings underscore the value of N. crassifolium as a promising source of antioxidant and antibacterial compounds. Data support its ethnomedical applications and underscore the potential for development into natural therapeutic agents targeting oxidative stress and Gram-positive infections that pave the way for future pharmaceutical and nutraceutical development.

理论依据:蛇耳蕨是水蛭科的一种蕨类植物,原产于中美洲和南美洲,传统上用于草药。尽管其具有公认的民族医学价值,但其植物化学成分尚未得到广泛研究。本研究旨在测定石竹根状茎的代谢产物,定量测定石竹根状茎中酚类和类黄酮的含量,并评价其抗氧化和抗菌活性。方法:采用LC-MS/MS进行代谢物表征,同时采用自由基清除活性(DPPH•和ABTS•+测定)评估体外抗氧化潜力。两项检测均以Trolox为参比标准品。以全根茎、根茎近端、根茎远端和不定根4个解剖部位测定其酚类和类黄酮含量及抗氧化活性。结果:本研究确定了皂苷、植物甾体、黄酮、酚酸和酚苷的存在。近根中酚类含量最高(264.6±0.15 mg RUE/g),不定根中黄酮类含量最高(54.0±0.47 mg RUE/g)。近端根茎中位有效浓度分别为50.4±0.03 μg/mL (DPPH•)和310.7±1.9 μg/mL (ABTS•+),而Trolox分别为37.4±0.01 μg/mL和155.0±0.3 μg/mL (p < 0.05),其抗氧化能力显著高于Trolox (p < 0.05) (p < 0.05)。数据支持其民族医学应用,并强调了开发针对氧化应激和革兰氏阳性感染的天然治疗剂的潜力,为未来的制药和营养保健开发铺平了道路。
