Isotope-labeled differential profiling of metabolites using N-benzoyloxysuccinimide derivatization coupled to liquid chromatography/high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry

Rationale An isotopic labeling strategy based on derivatizing amine-containing metabolites has been developed using light (12C6) and heavy (13C6) N-benzoyloxysuccinimide reagents for semi-targeted metabolomic applications. Methods Differentially labeled samples were combined and analyzed simultaneously by liquid chromatography/high-resolution tandem mass spectrometry (LC/HR-MS/MS) to compare relative amounts of amine-containing metabolites. The selectivity of the reaction was determined with model metabolites and was shown to also be applicable to thiol and phenol moieties. The potential for relative quantitation was evaluated in cell extracts and the method was then applied to quantify metabolic perturbations occurring in human cultured cells under normal vs. oxidative stress conditions. Results A total of 279 derivatized features were detected in HL60 cell extracts, 77 of which yielded significant concentration changes upon oxidative stress treatment. Based on accurate mass measurements and MS/MS spectral matching with reference standard solutions, 10 metabolites were clearly identified. Derivatized compounds were found to have diagnostic fragment ions from the reagent itself, as well as structurally informative ions useful for metabolite identification. Conclusions This simple derivatization reaction can be applied to the relative quantitation of amine-, thiol- and phenol-containing compounds, with improved sensitivity and chromatographic peak shapes due to the increased hydrophobicity of polar metabolites not readily amenable to reversed-phase LC/MS analysis.

Oxidation of Disulfides to Taurine and Sulfanilic Acid Derivatives

Taurine (2-aminoethanesulfonic acid) is a representative substructure in biologically active compounds, but can raise difficulties in direct coupling reactions. In this study, the synthesis of taurine-derived sulfonic acids and analogous aromatic sulfonic

In vivo neurochemical monitoring using benzoyl chloride derivatization and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry

In vivo neurochemical monitoring using microdialysis sampling is important in neuroscience because it allows correlation of neurotransmission with behavior, disease state, and drug concentrations in the intact brain. A significant limitation of current practice is that different assays are utilized for measuring each class of neurotransmitter. We present a high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)-tandem mass spectrometry method that utilizes benzoyl chloride for determination of the most common low molecular weight neurotransmitters and metabolites. In this method, 17 analytes were separated in 8 min. The limit of detection was 0.03-0.2 nM for monoamine neurotransmitters, 0.05-11 nM for monoamine metabolites, 2-250 nM for amino acids, 0.5 nM for acetylcholine, 2 nM for histamine, and 25 nM for adenosine at sample volume of 5 μL. Relative standard deviation for repeated analysis at concentrations expected in vivo averaged 7% (n = 3). Commercially available 13C benzoyl chloride was used to generate isotope-labeled internal standards for improved quantification. To demonstrate utility of the method for study of small brain regions, the GABAA receptor antagonist bicuculline (50 μM) was infused into a rat ventral tegmental area while recording neurotransmitter concentration locally and in nucleus accumbens, revealing complex GABAergic control over mesolimbic processes. To demonstrate high temporal resolution monitoring, samples were collected every 60 s while neostigmine, an acetylcholine esterase inhibitor, was infused into the medial prefrontal cortex. This experiment revealed selective positive control of acetylcholine over cortical glutamate.

Structural effects of N-aromatic acyl-amino acid conjugates on their deconjugation in the cecal contents of rats: Implication in design of a colon-specific prodrug with controlled conversion rate at the target site

N-aromatic acyl-amino acid conjugates possess a colon-targeted property, implying that such conjugates are stable and are not absorbable until reaching the large intestine in which they are microbially converted (hydrolysed) to the parent drugs that are therapeutically active. To investigate the structural effect of N-aromatic acyl-amino acid conjugates on the large intestinal deconjugation, the hydrolysis of various N-aromatic acyl-amino acid conjugates was examined in the cecal contents. On incubation of conjugates with glycine,d or/andl forms of alanine or phenylalanine in the cecal contents, the conjugates withd amino acids were not hydrolysed. The other conjugates are susceptible to the hydrolysis, the rates of which decreased as the size of the substituent on the 2-position of the amino acids increased. The conjugates with alkyl analogs (2-4 carbons) of glycine and taurine were resistant to the hydrolysis, while taurine- and glycine-conjugates were hydrolysed effectively. The hydrolysis of N-aromatic acyl-glycine conjugates was enhanced by para-substitution of electron withdrawing groups on the aromatic acyl moiety and vice versa for electron-donating groups. While a methyl, methoxy or chloro group on the ortho-position retarded the hydrolysis, a hydroxyl group on the position accelerated it. Our data may provide useful information for the design of a colon-specific prodrug with controlled conversion rate in the large intestine.

Reactivity and the mechanisms of reactions of β-sultams with nucleophiles

Ethane-1,2-sultam has a pKa of 12.12±0.06 at 30 °C and its rate of alkaline hydrolysis shows a pH-dependence reflecting this so that the observed pseudo first-order rate constant at phs above the pKa are pH independent. There is no evidence of neighbouring group participation in the hydrolysis of either N-α-carboxybenzylethane-1,2-sultam or N-(hydroxyaminocarbonylmethyl)-2-benzylethane-1,2-sultam. Oxyanions, but not amines or thiols, react with N-benzoylethane-1,2-sultam in water by a nucleophilic ring opening reaction confirmed by product analysis and kinetic solvent isotope effects. A Bronsted plot for this reaction has two distinct correlations with βnuc = 0.52 and 0.65 for weak and strong bases, respectively, although a statistically corrected plot may indicate a single correlation.
