Derivatization in liquid chromatography/mass spectrometric analysis of neurosteroids.
Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is now considered to be the most promising analytical method for the determination of biological substances, especially nonvolatile or highly polar substances. However, some compounds do not show enough sensitivity in LC/MS and soft-ionization methods commonly used in LC/MS, such as electrospray ionization (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical i...
متن کاملNew mass spectrometric assay for angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 activity.
A novel assay was developed for evaluation of mouse angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) 2 and recombinant human ACE2 (rACE2) activity. Using surface-enhanced laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MS) with ProteinChip Array technology, ACE1 and ACE2 activity could be measured using natural peptide substrates. Plasma from C57BL/6 mice, kidney from wild-type and ACE2 knocko...
متن کاملMass-spectrometric assay of tocainide in serum.
This mass-spectrometric method for assaying tocainide in serum is specific, reproducible, and sensitive, and sample preparation is rapid. The drug is isolated from serum by liquid-solid extraction on a Baker C18 disposable column. Underivatized drug is separated by elution on a 0.20 mm X 25 m fused-silica capillary column coated with 5% phenylmethylsilicone, then quantified by mass-selective de...
متن کاملGas chromatography--mass spectrometric characteristics and assay of tele-methylhistamine.
To date, te/e-methylhistamine, the product of enzymatic histamine methylation, has not been measured by a suitable method. Tefeandpros-methylhistamine both react quantitatively with trifluoroacetic and heptafluorobutyric anhydrides at room temperature under anhydrous conditions to yield either monoor bis-derivatives in the absence or presence of pyridine, respectively. The extraction of tissue ...
متن کاملPeptide codes for multiple protease activity assay via high-resolution mass spectrometric quantitation.
RATIONALE: Proteases, which are involved in a number of biological processes, play important roles in human health. Alterations in protease activities have been associated with many diseases. Thus, effective methods for multiple protease assay are very essential andmay help to discover more about their functions in different physiological processes. Here, we proposed a strategy of peptide codes...
