Abstract
In this study, we developed a determination method for hydrazine in the air. Hydrazine was derivatized with p-dimethyl amino benzaldehyde (DBA) to yield p-dimethylaminobenzalazine, which was subjected to liquid chromatography-electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis. The derivative exhibited good sensitivity in the LC/MS/MS analysis, and its instrument detection limit and instrument quantification limit were 0.003 and 0.008 ng/mL, respectively. The air sample was collected using an air sampler equipped with a peristaltic pump at 0.2 L/min for 8 h. We demonstrated that a silica cartridge impregnated with DBA and 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl) ethylene can collect hydrazine in the air stably. The mean recovery rates in outdoor and indoor locations were 97.6% and 92.4%, respectively. Further, the method detection and quantification limits were 0.1 and 0.4 ng/m3, respectively. The proposed method does not require any pretreatment and/or concentration step, enabling high-throughput analyses.

Abstract
In this research report, an in house developed octadecyl monolithic (ODM) column has been exploited in the reversed-phase capillary electrochromatography (RP-CEC) of precolumn derivatized mono- and oligosaccharides with three different tagging agents, namely 1-naphthylamine (1-NA), 2-aminoanthracene (2-AA) and 3-amino-2,7-naphthalenedisulfonic acid (ANDSA). These three derivatizing agents, which differed in their charges, nonpolar characters and optical absorption properties, led to different RP-CEC elution patterns and UV detection signals. In fact, the limit of detection of the derivatized sugars were 50 µM for the ANDSA- and 1-NA-sugar derivatives and 35 µM for the 2-AA-sugar derivatives due to the presence of three fused aromatic rings in 2-AA versus 2 fused rings in the 1-NA and ANDSA tags. Furthermore, while the longer ANDSA-oligosaccharides eluted later than the shorter ones and the ANDSA-monosaccharides, 1-NA- and 2-AA-sugar derivatives necessitated the presence of borate ions at alkaline pH in the mobile phase to form in situ charged derivatives to facilitate their separation by RP-CEC, and the elution order was the reversal of that observed with the ANDSA-sugar derivatives; that is the mono- eluted later than the larger size oligosaccharides. In addition, plots of log tR vs. number of glucose residues (nGlc) for derivatized glucose and maltooligosaccharides yielded straight lines with slopes representing log η where η is the retention time modulus (i.e., ratio of retention time of two neighboring derivatives differing in one glucosyl residue). In the case of 1-NA and 2-AA derivatives, η was smaller than unity while it was greater than unity in the case of ANDSA-sugar derivatives because the elution occurred in the order of decreasing size of the homologous sugar derivatives in the former than in the later derivatives. The prepared ODM column was stable for more than a month of continuous use, a fact that allowed a good repeatability for intraday and interday analyzes.

Abstract
A sensitive and rapid high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) method was developed to enantioseparation of N-acetyl-dl-cysteine after precolumn derivatization using o-phthaldialdehyde and primary aliphatic amines. Seven polysaccharide-based chiral columns were tested in a reversed phase mode. Under the optimal chromatographic conditions, N-acetyl-dl-cysteine derivatives were completely enantioseparated on Chiralcel OZ-3R column with the resolution more than 2.5. The impact of various primary aliphatic amine additives as co-reagents (ethyl-, 1-propyl-, 1-butyl-, 1-pentylamine, (R)-sec-butylamine, tert-butylamine, isobutylamine, cyclopropyl-, cyclobutyl-, cyclopentyl and cyclohexylamine) used in precolumn derivatization step on the retention behavior (retention factor, selectivity and column efficiency) of N-acetyl-dl-cysteine derivatives was investigated. The effect of chromatographic conditions including acetonitrile content in the mobile phase, mobile phase pH, salt concentration in the mobile phase and column temperature on the retention and selectivity was investigated. The developed method was properly validated in terms of linearity, sensitivity (limit of detection and limit of quantification), accuracy, precision, intermediate precision and selectivity according to International Council for Harmonisation (ICH) of Technical Requirements for Pharmaceuticals for Human Use guidelines using internal normalization procedure. Proposed HPLC method was successfully applied to the determination of optical purity in commercially available N-acetyl-L-cysteine samples.

Abstract
Plasma free amino acid (PFAA) concentrations in humans are affected by various diseases. However, the variations caused are not dramatic, so a high accurate and precise method for analyzing PFAAs is required. The PFAA analysis protocol described in this chapter covers blood sampling, sample pretreatment, amino acid derivatization, and LC-MS analysis. Each procedure is important for accurate and precise quantification.In the protocol, a human blood sample is collected using an EDTA-2Na or 2K vacuum collection tube and then immediately cooled in water mixed with crushed ice. The sample is then centrifuged on cooling to allow a plasma sample to be removed. A stable-isotope-labeled internal standard solution is added to the plasma, and then the plasma is deproteinized with acetonitrile. The amino acids in the plasma are then derivatized using 3-aminopyridyl-N-hydroxysuccinimidyl carbamate (APDS) reagent which is designed for LC-MS analysis. The derivatized amino acids are separated by reverse-phase HPLC and detected by electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. Using this method, 21 amino acids in human plasma can be analyzed with a 12 min cycle. The accuracy and precision are both better than the required criteria given by the US Food and Drug Administration in guidance of Bioanalytical Method Validation.

Abstract
2-Alkylcyclobutanones (2-ACBs) are uniquely formed when triglycerides-containing food products are exposed to ionizing radiation. Thus, 2-ACBs have been used as marker molecules to identify irradiated food. Most methods to determine 2-ACBs involve mass spectrometric detection after chromatographic separation. The spectrofluorometer is rarely used to determine 2-ACBs because these molecules do not fluoresce. In this study, we developed an ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) method to determine 2-ACBs. 2-ACBs were converted into fluorophores after reacting with 1-naphthalenyl hydrazine to facilitate their sensitive and selective detection using a fluorescence detector (FLD). Analysis of 2-ACBs using our developed UPLC-FLD method allows sensitive determination of 2-ACBs at a detection limit of 2 ng 2-ACBs per g of fat (30 pg/injection), which is significantly lower than that of existing analytical methods. After validation for trueness and precision, the method was applied to γ-irradiated chicken samples to determine their 2-ACB content. Comparative studies employing liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric method revealed no systematic difference between the two methods, thereby demonstrating that the proposed UPLC-FLD method can be suitably used to determine 2-ACBs in irradiated foodstuffs.

Abstract
Malondialdehyde (MDA) is a biomarker for lipid peroxidation, and studies of sensitive and selective analytical methods for it are very important for pathological research. The aim of this work was to develop and validate a novel HPLC method for the quantification of MDA in biological fluids using rhodamine B hydrazide (RBH) as the derivatization reagent. After pretreatment and derivatization in acid medium at 50 °C for 40 min, the RBH-derivatized MDA was separated on a Kromasil C18 column at 25 °C and detected by a fluorescence detector at excitation wavelength of 560 nm and emission wavelength of 580 nm. The results showed linearity in the range of 0.8-1500.0 nM with a detection limit of 0.25 nM (S/N = 3). The recovery of MDA from plasma and urine was 91.50 to 99.20%, with a relative standard deviation range of 1.45 to 3.26%. In comparison to other methods reported for the determination of MDA, the proposed method showed superiority in simplicity, more sensitivity, shorter derivatization time, and less interference. The developed method was applied to quantification of MDA in human biological fluids collected from five volunteers with a concentration range of 24.62-245.00 nM.

Abstract
A selective precolumn derivatization liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric (LC-MS/MS) method for the determination of glucosamine in human plasma and urine has been developed and validated. Glucosamine was derivatized by o-phthalaldehyde/3-mercaptopropionic acid. Chromatographic separation was performed on a Phenomenex ODS column (150 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) using linear gradient elution by a mobile phase consisting of methanol (A), and an aqueous solution containing 0.2% ammonium acetate and 0.1% formic acid (B) at a flow rate of 1 mL/min. Tolterodine tartrate was used as the internal standard (IS). With protein precipitation by acetonitrile and then the simple one-step derivatization, a sensitive bio-assay was achieved with the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) as low as 12 ng/mL for plasma. The standard addition calibration curves suitable for clinical sample analysis showed good linearity over the range of 0.012-8.27 μg/mL in plasma and 1.80-84.1 μg/mL in urine. The fully validated method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of compound glucosamine sulfate dispersible tablets in health Chinese volunteers receiving single oral doses at 500, 1000 and 1500 mg of glucosamine sulfate, as well as multiple oral doses of 500 mg t.i.d. for 7 consecutive days.
