Anal Bioanal Chem 2025; 417:1199-1212. [PMID: 39820674 DOI: 10.1007/s00216-024-05727-6] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/28/2024] [Revised: 12/17/2024] [Accepted: 12/19/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2025]
Abstract
Matrix effects pose a significant challenge in food analysis for the quantitative analysis of complex food samples. Herein, a novel magnetic covalent organic framework nanocomposite and the copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction-based stable isotope labeling (SIL) method were presented for highly selective and sensitive detection of steroid hormones in food samples using HPLC-MS/MS. The nanocomposite, Fe3O4@TAPB-COF, with a core-shell structure exhibited high adsorption capacities for steroid hormones. Combined with a SIL method based on the CuAAC click reaction, steroid hormones were accurately quantified in food samples with high sensitivity and selectivity. A pair of SIL agents, N-(2-azidoethyl)aniline (d0-NAEA) and d5-N-(2-azidoethyl)aniline (d5-NAEA), was synthesized to label steroid hormones in the samples and standard solutions, respectively. The labeling reaction is highly specific, and the formation of the derivatives is easily ionized by MS, thus overcoming matrix effects. More surprisingly, the ionization efficiency of steroid hormones increased by a factor of 4 to 56, with matrix effects ranging from 87.3 to 99.3%. Under optimal conditions, this method exhibited a low limit of detection (LOD) ranging from 0.1 to 2.6 μg L-1 and overcame the interference of matrix effects for trace-level steroid hormone analysis in foodstuffs.

Abstract
This study established the simultaneous determination of the selected endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs) and pesticides in rock, soil, water, moss, and feces samples collected from the Antarctic region. The spray-assisted droplet formation-based liquid phase microextraction (SADF-LPME) coupled to GC-MS system was developed and validated for the screening and monitoring of 29 selected EDCs and pesticides. Binary solvent system, 1:1 (v/v) dichlormethane: 1,2-dichloroethane mixture was employed as an extraction solvent and sprayed onto sample or standard solutions using a straightforward and practical spray apparatus. The factors affecting the extraction process such as extraction solvent type and ratio, extraction solvent volume (spray repetition), vortexing period, and sample pH were properly optimized. Analytical figures of the merit of the method were recorded under the optimal extraction/chromatographic conditions. The LOD, LOQ, and enhancement factor were in the range of 1.0 to 6.6 ng/g, 3.2 to 22.1 ng/g, and 3.7 to 158.9, respectively. The method demonstrated a good linear working range for all the selected analytes with proper coefficients of determination. The usability and reliability of the microextraction strategy was confirmed using seawater, moss, and soil samples, and the %recoveries were within an acceptable range (> 70%) for all examined samples. The environmental samples collected from the Horseshoe and Faure Islands of the Antarctica region were analyzed to assess the potential pollution of EDCs and pesticides. This method has the potential to be employed for the analysis of EDCs in routine analytical laboratories and for controlling and screening the organic pollutant content of different environmental samples.

LUMINESCENCE 2023; 38:1848-1856. [PMID: 37555562 DOI: 10.1002/bio.4571] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/09/2023] [Revised: 08/02/2023] [Accepted: 08/04/2023] [Indexed: 08/10/2023]
Abstract
Quantification of ethinylestradiol (EE) in biological matrices is challenging as it is a very potent drug with a very low Cmax (75 pg.ml-1 ). Despite the high sensitivity of fluorometric methods, the detection of EE was confined because its structure exhibited very limited fluorescence. Therefore, it must be derivatized first using a fluorogenic agent to produce a more potent fluorescence derivative to achieve the desired ultrasensitive bioanalysis. Here, for the first time, we proposed a promising click fluorescent probe, 4-azido-7-nitrobenzoxadiazole (NBD-AZ) to react with the alkyne group of EE, with the help of copper sulphate and l-ascorbic acid to give a highly fluorescent and stable 1,2,3-triazole derivative. Density functional theory calculation revealed how the triazole formation affects the quantum yield and fluorescence of click reaction product when compared with NBD-AZ. The resulting triazole exhibited a strong signal at a wavelength of 540 nm after excitation at 470 nm. Reaction parameters impacting the intensity of fluorescence were cautiously studied and optimized. The suggested approach has shown outstanding performance, high linearity (25-300 pg.ml-1 ) and a low detection limit of 7.5 pg.ml-1 . The enhanced sensitivity and selectivity were exploited for analyzing EE in plasma using liquid-liquid extraction for samples cleaning up without interference from any biological components and with a mean % recovery of 100.13 ± 0.39. Accuracy, sensitivity, selectivity, simplicity, and cost-effectiveness make this approach a convincing, promising, and appealing alternative to the reported analytical methods for EE bioanalysis in different matrices.

Abstract
Herein, we describe a photoredox three-component atom-transfer radical addition (ATRA) reaction of aryl alkynes directly with dialkyl disulfides and alkylsulfinates, circumventing the utilization of chemically unstable and synthetically challenging S-alkyl alkylthiosulfonates as viable addition partners. A vast array of (E)-β-alkylsulfonylvinyl alkylsulfides was prepared with great regio- and stereoselectivity. Moreover, this powerful tactic could be employed to tag cysteine residues of complex polypeptides in solution or on resin merging with solid phase peptide synthesis (SPPS) techniques. A sulfonyl-derived redox responsive fluorescent probe could be conveniently introduced on the peptide, which displays green fluorescence in cells while showing blue fluorescence in medium. The photophysical investigations reveal that the red shift of the emission fluorescence is attested to reduction of carbonyl group to the corresponding hydroxyl moiety. Interestingly, the fluorescence change of tagged peptide could be reverted in cells by treatment of H2O2, arising from the reoxidation of hydroxyl group back to ketone by the elevated level of reactive oxygen species (ROS).

Abstract
Steroids are compounds widely available in nature and synthesized for therapeutic and medical purposes. Although several analytical techniques are available for the quantification of steroids, their analysis is challenging due to their low levels and complex matrices of the samples. The efficiency and quick separation of the HPLC combined with the sensitivity, selectivity, simplicity, and cost-efficiency of fluorescence, make HPLC coupled to fluorescence detection (HPLC-FLD) an ideal tool for routine measurement and detection of steroids. In this review, we covered HPLC-FLD methods reported in the literature for the steroids quantification in clinical, pharmaceutical, and environmental applications, focusing on the various approaches of fluorescent derivatization. The aspects related to analytical methodology including sample preparation, derivatization reagents, and chromatographic conditions will be discussed.

Abstract
The copper(I)-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) click reaction has becoming noticeable in the field of analytical chemistry. Mild reaction conditions, simple operation, high efficiency, and good regioselectivity make this classical click reaction a perfect strategy for chemical derivatization. Herein, we proposed a promising click fluorescent labeling method with high selectivity for the determination of five steroid hormones in food samples. The labeling strategy depends on the reaction between 3-Azido-7-hydroxycoumarin and the alkynyl group of steroid hormones, which shows a turn-on fluorescence response in the presence of copper (I). The formed fluorescent products were detected by HPLC-FLD. Under the optimized conditions, the proposed method presented excellent performance with good linearity (R2 ≥ 0.9998) and low detection limit (1.8-7.3 μg L-1). Further, satisfactory recoveries were obtained to be 82-107% in spiked meats with relative standard deviations (RSDs) ≤ 5.7%. Finally, the established method was successfully applied for the determination of steroid hormones in meat, indicating the potential prospect of the click reaction in chemical derivatization.

Abstract
Estrogenically active compounds (EACs) in surface waters can disrupt the endocrine system of biota, raising concern for aquatic species. Concentrations of EACs are generally higher in effluent-dominated aquatic systems, such as California's Santa Ana River (SAR). Addressing estrogenicity of effluent-dominated waters is increasingly important due to both increasing urbanization and climate change. To this end, water samples were collected from multiple sites downstream of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and intermittent points along the SAR during 2018-2019 and cell-based bioassays were used to determine estrogen receptor activity. During baseflow conditions, the highest estradiol equivalencies (EEQs) from all SAR water between summer (August and September) and fall (November) sampling events in 2018 were from Yorba Linda (EEQ = 1.36 ± 0.38 ng/L) and Prado (1.14 ± 0.13 ng/L), respectively. Water extracts in January 2019 following a major rainfall generally had higher EEQs with the highest EEQ of 10.0 ± 0.69 ng/L observed at Yorba Linda. During low flow conditions in November 2018, male Japanese medaka (Oryzias latipes) fish were exposed to SAR water to compare to cell bioassay responses and targeted analytical chemistry for 5 steroidal estrogens. Chemical-based EEQ correlations with in vitro EEQs were statistically significant. However, vitellogenin (vtg) mRNA expression in the livers of medaka exposed to SAR water was not significantly different compared to controls. These results indicate that seasonal variation and surface water runoff events influence estrogenic activity in the SAR and may induce estrogenic effects to native fish populations in wastewater-dominated streams in general.

Multi-approach assessment for the evaluation of spatio-temporal estrogenicity in fish from effluent-dominated surface waters under low instream flow. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION (BARKING, ESSEX : 1987) 2020; 265:115122.

Abstract
Current practices employed by most wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) are unable to completely remove endocrine disrupting compounds (EDCs) from reclaimed waters, and consistently discharge these substances to receiving systems. Effluent-dominated and dependent surface waters, especially during low instream flows, can increase exposure and risks to aquatic organisms due to adverse biological effects associated with EDCs. Given the ecological implications that may arise from exposure to such compounds, the present a multi-approach study examined spatio-temporal estrogenic potential of wastewater effluent to fish in East Canyon Creek (ECC), Utah, USA, a unique urban river with instream flows seasonally influenced by snowmelt. Juvenile rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) were caged at different upstream and downstream sites from an effluent discharge during the summer and fall seasons. In the summer, where approximately 50% of the streamflow was dominated by effluent, fish from the upstream and a downstream site, located 13 miles away from the effluent discharge, presented significantly elevated concentrations of plasma vitellogenin (VTG). Similarly, significantly high 17β-estradiol to 11-ketotestosterone ratios were measured in the summer across all sites and time points, compared to the fall. In the laboratory, juvenile fish and primary hepatocytes were exposed to concentrated effluent and surface water samples. Quantification of VTG, although in significantly lower levels, resembled response patterns observed in fish from the field study. Furthermore, analytical quantification of common EDCs in wastewater revealed the presence of estriol and estrone, though these did not appear to be related to the observed biological responses, as these were more significant in sites were no EDCs were detected. These combined observations suggest potential estrogenicity for fish in ECC under continuous exposures and highlight the advantages of following weight-of-evidence (WoE) approaches for environmental monitoring, as targeted analytically-based assessments may or may not support the identification of causative contaminants for adverse biological effects.

Abstract
A selective and highly sensitive high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with fluorescence derivatization method was developed for determination of ethinyl estradiol (EE); one of endocrine-disrupting compounds (EDCs). The fluorescence derivatization procedure was based on Sonogashira coupling reaction using 4-(4, 5-diphenyl-1H-imidazole-2-yl) iodobenzene (DIB-I), a fluorescence labeling reagent, to derivatize EE in presence of copper and palladium ions. The formed fluorescent product was separated on Cosmosil 5C18 MS-II by an isocratic elution with a mobile phase composed of acetonitrile: 5.0 mM Tris-HNO3 buffer, pH 7.4 (60:40, v/v %). The detection wavelengths were set at 310 and 400 nm as excitation and emission wavelengths, respectively. Various parameters affecting derivatization reaction were optimized. Further, the proposed method was validated and a good linearity with low detection limit (S/N=3) 7.4 ng L-1 was obtained in water sample after a simple solid-phase disk extraction (C18 SPE disk) method. The proposed method was successfully applied for detection of EE in river water samples in order to monitor EE concentration and to distinguish its effect on the ecosystem and human health.

Abstract
Multi-analytes simultaneous monitoring of amino acid and monoamine neurotransmitters (NTs) has important scientific significance for their related pathology, physiology and drug screening. In this work, in virtue of a mass spectrometry sensitizing reagent 10-ethyl-acridone-3-sulfonyl chloride (EASC) as derivatization reagent, an Ultra High Performance Liquid Chromatography-Tandem Mass Spectrometry (UHPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for simultaneous determination of six amino acid NTs, two monoamine ones and its one metabolite. The simple and rapid derivatization reaction was innovatively combined with plasma preparation by using EASC acetonitrile solution as protein precipitant. This interesting combination brought the advantages of speediness, simpleness and high-throughput in a cost-effective way. Under the optimized conditions, LODs (0.004-3.80nM) and LOQs (0.014-13.3nM) of EASC derivatized-NTs were calculated and found to be significantly lower than those of direct UHPLC-MS/MS detection about 11.5-275.0 and 14.4-371.4 times, respectively. Moreover, EASC derivatization significantly improved chromatographic resolution and matrix effect when compared with direct UPLC-MS/MS detection method without derivatization. Meanwhile, it also brought acceptable precision (3.0-13.0%, peak area CVs%), accuracy (86.4-112.9%), recovery (88.3-107.8%) and stability (3.8-8.5%, peak area CVs%) results. This method was successfully applied for the antiparkinsonian effect evaluation of levodopa and Ginsenoside Rg1 using PC12 cells and rats models by measuring multiple NTs. This provided a new method for the NTs related studies in the future.
