Organophosphorus flame retardants are a class of widely used plasticizers and flame retardants. In this study, an analytical methodology for the simultaneous determination of 13 organophosphorus flame retardants in milk was developed by using high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry in combination with a modified quick, easy, cheap, effective, rugged, and safe technique and solid-phase extraction. The experimental parameters of the sample purification procedure and high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry were optimized. The developed method was validated in terms of linearity, limits of detection, recovery, and precision. The method showed a linear response in the 1–100 ng/mL concentration range and the limits of detection ranged from 0.001 to 0.3 ng/mL. The mean recoveries for most organophosphorus flame retardants were in the ranges of 75.0–115.8% (spiked at 2.5 ng/mL) and 76.7–124.8% (spiked at 25 ng/mL), with relative standard deviations of <13.09%. The developed methodology was successfully applied to the analysis of nine human milk samples and nine commercial cow milk samples. Eleven organophosphorus flame retardants were detected in the human milk samples, with median concentrations that ranged from lower than the limit of detection to 1.47 ng/mL, and only nine organophosphorus flame retardants were detected in cow milk samples, with median levels of <0.32 ng/mL.

Objective The aim of our research was to analyze and compare the pharmacokinetics of paeoniflorin, calycosin, calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside, and 6-gingerol in the blood and brain tissue of normal and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury rats by HPLC-MS/MS method.Methods The blood and brain tissue samples of normal and middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) rats were compared. The blood and brain tissue samples were collected by using microdialysis technique. The concentrations of paeoniflorin, calycosin, calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside, and 6-gingerol in blood and brain tissues were determined by the HPLC-MS/MS internal standard method.Results Compared with the normal group, the model group after the administration of the Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction showed that Cmax blood, AUC0-t blood, and AUC0-inf blood of paeoniflorin were increased, CLblood, t1/2 brain, and Vbrain of paeoniflorin were decreased; Cmaxblood, AUC0-tblood, AUC0-infblood, and average residence time (MRTbrain) of calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside were decreased and the CLblood and Cmax brain of calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside were increased; Cmax blood of calycosin was decreased, Vblood and Vbrain of calycosin were increased; Cmax blood, AUC0-t blood, AUC0-inf blood, and MRTbrain of 6-gingerol were decreased, CLblood of 6-gingerol was increased.Conclusion This method is simple, rapid, and sensitive. It is suitable for the pharmacokinetic study of Huangqi Guizhi Wuwu Decoction in the blood and brain tissue of rats. Cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury increased the content of paeoniflorin, calycosin, calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside, and 6-gingerol in the blood, affecting the clearance rate of paeoniflorin in the brain, the detention time of calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside and the 6-gingerol in the brain. In normal and cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats, the content of paeoniflorin and 6-gingerol in the blood was higher than that in brain tissue, while the content of calycosin, calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside in the brain tissue was higher than that in blood, suggesting that calycosin and calycosin-7-o-β-d-6-glucoside have brain targeting properties.

Polyether ether ketone (PEEK) is an ideal substrate for in tube solid-phase microextraction (SPME) because it overcomes the shortcomings of conventional silica fibers in terms of fragility and poor flexibility. Commonly used bare PEEK tubes suffer from difficult modification with selective sorbents and low inner surface areas. This problem was solved by etching with concentrated sulfuric acid, which dissolves the amorphous regions of the PEEK surface and yields a rough inner surface with plenty of microscopically small holes. The etched tube was then stepwise functionalized with polydopamine and graphene oxide which was in-situ immobilized. The modified tube displays excellent efficiency for the extraction of positively charged quaternary alkaloids by a mixed-mode extraction. Enrichment factors from 221 to 275 can be obtained for the extraction of the alkaloids jatrorrhizine, palmatine and berberine. The alkaloiods were then quantified by online SPME-HPLC-MS/MS detection. The method has detection limits of 0.1 pg mL −1 , good linearity, and good intra-day reproducibility (≤ 2.4%). It was applied to the analysis of the three alkaloids in Cortex Phellodendri herb and rat plasma after oral administration.
A concentrated sulfuric acid etching method was used for enhance the workability of polyether ether ketone tube (PEEK) in solid phase microextraction (SPME). The etched tube was covered with graphene oxide (GO) for extraction of protoberberines.

A novel magnetic boron nitride nanosheets (Fe 3 O 4 @BNNSs) composite-based magnetic solid-phase extraction (MSPE) method was employed to analyse six plant growth regulators (PGRs) in tomatoes combined with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The novel Fe 3 O 4 @BNNSs composite was prepared via an in situ chemical coprecipitation process and characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). Several factors that may affect the extraction efficiencies were optimized. Under the optimal factors, low limits of detection (0.002–0.010 ng g −1 ), good linear ranges (0.05–10 ng g −1 ) and satisfactory precisions (intra-day: 1.2%-3.9%; inter-day: 2.1%-6.9%) were achieved. The established approach was successfully employed to extract and determine PGRs in tomatoes, and the spiked recoveries were between 85.2 and 109.0%.

The accurate determination of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in wastewater is crucial for comprehensive environmental risk assessment and human exposure evaluation. Given the complex matrices of aqueous environmental samples, efficient sample preparation remains a critical challenge in analytical procedures. This study presents an ionic liquid-based aqueous two-phase system (IL-ATPS) extraction methodology used as a pretreatment step prior to high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous determination of 38 PPCPs. A mechanistic investigation revealed that target analytes with more hydrogen-bonding sites and higher hydrogen-bond donor (HBD) capacity exhibited enhanced solubility in ILs. In addition, IL anions with stronger hydrogen-bond acceptor (HBA) capacity further improved the solubility of the 38 PPCPs. These findings indicate that hydrogen bonding between analytes and ILs likely played a critical role in the dissolution mechanism. The established IL-salt ATPS extraction method utilized a 15 mL aqueous sample, 0.2 g tetraethylammonium acetate ([N 2222 ][OAc]), and 12 g K 2 HPO 4 , with a 1-minute vortex mixing. Compared with traditional solid phase extraction (SPE), this approach significantly reduced the sample volume from 1 L to 15 mL, avoided the use of volatile organic solvents, simplified the overall processing, and enabled rapid (<15 minutes) pretreatment. The method demonstrated excellent sensitivity with limits of detection (LODs) ranging from 0.00013 to 0.11 ng/mL. Method validation via standard addition experiments demonstrated satisfactory accuracy, yielding recoveries between 74.3 and 129.8 %. Precision was assessed using both intra-day and inter-day measurements. The intra-day relative standard deviations (RSDs) ranged from 0.7 % to 19.9 %, while the inter-day RSDs ranged from 1.4 % to 18.4 %, demonstrating that the method provides consistent and reproducible results under controlled laboratory conditions. These findings underscore the present IL-based ATPS extraction method, followed by HPLC-MS/MS analysis, as an eco-friendly, robust, and scalable approach for PPCPs monitoring in aqueous environmental samples, offering potential applications in environmental monitoring and risk assessment.

Mirabegron and vibegron, both newly identified beta-3 adrenergic agonists, have significantly improved the quality of life for patients suffering from overactive bladder. In order to comprehensively assess the plasma exposure levels of these agents, the development of a rapid and highly sensitive bioanalytical method becomes imperative. The primary objective of this study was to establish a robust high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) method for the concurrent quantification of mirabegron and vibegron in human plasma. The analytes were extracted from a 100 μL plasma sample through protein precipitation, employing 300 μL of methanol. Subsequently, samples underwent separation and quantification using a Waters XBridge C 18 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 3.5 µm), with a mobile phase consisting of 0.1% formic acid in water and 0.1% formic acid in acetonitrile. The mass analysis was conducted using positive electrospray ionization (ESI+) operated in a multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The proposed method was meticulously validated in accordance with the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for bioanalytical method validation. The regression equations demonstrated exceptional linearity for both mirabegron (r² ≥ 0.994) and vibegron (r² ≥ 0.996) across the concentration range of 0.5 – 200 ng/mL. Furthermore, the assay exhibited accuracy (inter-day relative error ≤ 6.90%) and precision (inter-day coefficient of variation ≤ 8.88%). The average recoveries of the analytes were found to range from 81.94% to 102.02%, with mean matrix effects falling within the range of 89.77% to 110.58%. As a result, this method was deemed highly suitable for the precise determination of the concentrations of both mirabegron and vibegron in the context of therapeutic drug monitoring and bioequivalence studies.

p -Phenylenediamine antioxidants (PPDs) and their quinone derivatives (PPDQs) have emerged as concerning environmental contaminants due to their widespread presence and biological toxicity. Herein, a novel tetraazacalix[2]arene[2]triazine functionalized 2D transition metal carbide (TCT@MXene) with electron-rich and electron-deficient sites, porous structures, abundant adsorption sites was first synthesized and characterized. Combining the advantages of extraordinary adsorption capacities and rates towards PPDs and PPDQs, a dispersive solid-phase extraction coupled with high-performance liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS) strategy was developed for highly sensitive and selective determination of PPDs and PPDQs in environmental water. The method featured acceptable linearity (R 2 ≥ 0.999), high sensitivity (LOD ranged from 0.10 to 2.96 ng L −1 ), and qualified precision (RSD ≤ 5.90 %). Compared with published works, the LODs of the developed technique were improved 3.8–250 times. Furthermore, its exceptional thermal and chemical stability allows for at least 10 reuse cycles under varying pH conditions. The adsorption mechanism revealed that the complementary charge distribution and robust conjugated system of TCT@MXene enabled the simultaneous and efficient co-adsorption of both PPDs and PPDQs. Besides, the established method was successfully applied to the analysis of trace targets in Yellow River basin in Henan Province. All these results proved the promising application of the developed method for organic pollutants analysis in water samples.

A simple and rapid ultra-high performance liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (uHPLC–MS/MS) method has been developed for the simultaneous determination of five free flavonoids (amentoflavone, isorhamnetin, naringenin, kaempferol and quercetin) and their total (free and conjugated) forms, and to compare the pharmacokinetics of these active ingredients in normal and hyperlipidemic rats. The free and total forms of these flavonoids were extracted by liquid–liquid extraction with ethyl acetate. The conjugated flavonoids were deconjugated by the enzyme β-Glucuronidase and Sulfatase. Chromatographic separation was accomplished on a ZORBAX Eclipse XDB-C 8 USP L7 column using gradient elution. Detection was performed on a 4000Q uHPLC–MS/MS system from AB Sciex using negative ion mode in the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The lower limits of quantification were 2.0–5.0 ng/mL for all the analytes. Intra-day and inter-day precision were less than 15% and accuracy ranged from −9.3% to 11.0%, and the mean extraction recoveries of analytes and internal standard (IS) from rat plasma were all more than 81.7%. The validated method was successfully applied to a comparative pharmacokinetic study of five free and total analytes in rat plasma. The results indicated that the absorption of five total flavonoids in hyperlipidemia group were significantly higher than those in normal group with similar concentration–time curves.

The apurinic/apyrimidinic (AP) site is an important intermediate in the DNA base excision repair (BER) pathway, having the potential of being a biomarker for DNA damage. AP sites could lead to the stalling of polymerases, the misincorporation of bases and DNA strand breaks, which might affect physiological function of cells. However, the abundance of AP sites in genomic DNA is very low (less than 2 AP sites/10 6 nts), which requires a sensitive and accurate method to meet its detection requirements. Here, we described an ultrasensitive quantification method based on a hydrazine- s -triazine reagent (i-Pr 2 N) labeling for AP sites combining with high-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The limit of detection reached an ultralow level (40 amol), realizing the most sensitive MS-based quantification for the AP site. To guarantee the accuracy of the quantitative results, the labeling reaction was carried out directly on DNA strands instead of labeling after DNA enzymatic digestion to reduce artifacts that might be produced during the enzymatic process of DNA strands. And selective detection was realized by MS to avoid introducing the false-positive signals from other aldehyde species, which could also react with i-Pr 2 N. Genomic DNA samples from different mammalian cell lines were successfully analyzed using this method. There were 0.4–0.8 AP sites per 10 6 nucleotides, and the values would increase 16.1 and 2.75 times when cells were treated with genotoxic substances methyl methanesulfonate and 5-fluorouracil, respectively. This method has good potential in the analysis of a small number of cell samples and clinical samples, is expected to be useful for evaluating the damage level of DNA bases, the genotoxicity of compounds and the drug resistance of cancer cells, and provides a new tool for cell function research and clinical precise treatment.

In this study, we established a rapid and sensitive HPLC-MS/MS method for quantitative determination of tembotrione and its metabolite AE 1417268 (M5) in corn, corn oil, beef, pork, chicken, and eggs. Both analytes eluted from a C18 column within 6 min. The electrospray ionisation–positive mode was used for tembotrione, whereas the negative mode was used for M5. Acetonitrile was the extractant for all samples, and the addition of 2 g NaCl to each homogenised sample facilitated the extraction of the analytes into acetonitrile. The extracted analytes were further purified by the addition of 50 mg of C18 sorbent (25 mg GCB was also added to corn samples) for subsequent HPLC-MS/MS analysis. Satisfactory calibration-curve linearities (R2 ≥ 0.997) were obtained for the two analytes at concentrations of 1–500 μg/L. Mean recoveries in different matrices ranged from 73.7% to 110.4%, whereas intra-day and inter-day relative standard deviations were <15% for all concentrations of spiked analytes. The limit of quantification was 2 μg/kg for each analyte in all matrices. In food samples obtained from markets, residual tembotrione and M5 were all below the limits of quantification. These results confirm that the method is suitable for the routine monitoring of residual tembotrione and M5 in a variety of food matrices.

An amino-modified multiwalled carbon nanotube (MWCNT) solid-phase extraction-based hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC–MS/MS) method was developed for simultaneous determination of 13 paralytic shellfish toxins (PSTs) in bivalve mollusks. Shellfish samples were extracted with 1% acetic acid followed by cleanup using optimized MWCNT-NH2 based solid-phase extraction. Absorbed PSTs were eluted with 2 mL 1% acetic acid–acetonitrile (70/30, v/v). The separation was performed on a Waters BEH Amide column within 7.5 min utilizing 0.1% formic acid–acetonitrile and 2 mM ammonium acetate containing 0.1% formic acid as the mobile phase. The analytes were quantified by matrix-matched external standard curves with correlation coefficients® exceeding 0.997 acquired in multiple reaction-monitoring mode. The limits of detection and quantitation in shellfish samples were from 2.76 to 9.8 μg/kg and 9.11 to 39.3 μg/kg, respectively. Recoveries at three spiked levels ranged from 71.4% to 97.8% with relative standard deviations less than 12.6%. The developed method was satisfactorily applied to the analysis of shellfish.

Humans are widely and concurrently exposed to volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). However, few studies have reported the internal co-exposure levels of these chemicals in occupational and general populations. Specifically, the associations revealed between the urinary levels of metabolites of VOCs (mVOCs), hydroxylated PAHs (OH-PAHs), and oxidative stress biomarkers for humans remain limited. In this study, a method based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) was developed for the simultaneous analysis of 22 mVOCs, 12 OH-PAHs, and 8-hydroxy-2′-deoxyguanosine (8-OHdG) in human urine samples. The method was validated with all target analyte accuracies and precisions in the range of 76 %–120 % and 1 %–14 % at three levels of spiked urine samples, respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) and limit of quantification (LOQ) of the target analytes were 0.01–0.34 ng/mL and 0.01–7.57 ng/mL, respectively. And the method was applied to measure urinary levels of target analytes from 38 petrochemical workers in Guangzhou, South China. Except for 3-hydroxy-benzo[a]pyrene, all target analytes were detected in the urine samples. The average levels were 0.05–12.6 ng/mL for individual OH-PAHs, 0.20–73620 ng/mL for individual mVOCs, and 1.00 ng/mL for 8-OHdG. Additionally, 3-hydroxy-phenanthrene, 1-hydroxy-pyrene, 6-hydroxy-chrysene, N-acetyl-S-(trichlorovinyl)-L-cysteine, 2-methylhippuric acid, thiodiacetic acid, trans, trans -Muconic acid, and N-acetyl-S-(3,4-dihydroxybutyl)-L-cysteine had statistically significant positive effects on 8-OHdG levels, while 1-hydroxy-naphthalene, 1,2-dihydroxybenzene, and hippuric acid showed a negative effect on 8-OHdG, indicating these metabolites could lead to synergistic or antagonistic oxidative DNA damage. This study provides a robust analytical method that permits a comprehensive assessment of co-exposure to PAHs and VOCs and their potential adverse health effects.
