Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization interface (LC/APCI/MS) is evaluated for the simultaneous determination of carbamate pesticides and organophosphorus pesticides in a single chromatographic analysis. APCI mass spectra of those compounds were obtrained to study their ionization characteristics. APCI provided abundant ions such as protonated molecules and characteristic fragment ions for carbamate pesticides and organophosphorus pesticides. To evaluate the feasibility of the LC/APCI/MS for a routine quantitative analysis, the linearity and repeatability of LC/APCI/MS were examined by measuring standard solution mixtures of five carbamate pesticides and four organophosphorus pesticides over the range of 1 to 100 ㎍/mL. Teh peak areas in chromatograms of characteristic ions for those compounds showed less than 3% of variation from run to run. The standard calibration curves for the nine pesticides show good linearity in the concentration range. The detection limits of the LC/APCI/MS system for those compounds range from 0.006 to 0.2 ng.

Momilactones A and B, the major phytotoxins and phytoalexins in rice plants, were quantified by a HPLC-APCI-MS-MS (APCI-MS-MS) system under multiple reaction monitoring conditions. Since MA and MB were found to be easily extracted with water, these phytotoxic compounds may affect germination and growth of other plant species when the rice straws were left in the fields.

Here we reported a methodology for identification of triacylglycerols (TAGs) and diacylglycerols (DAGs) in coix seed by preparative thin layer chromatography (prep-TLC) and non-aqueous reversed-phase liquid chromatography (NARP LC)-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Lipid components were extracted from coix seed by reflux extraction using n-hexane for 3 hr. TAGs and DAGs in coix seed extract were effectively purified and isolated from matrix interferences by prep-TLC and then analyzed by LC-APCI-MS and MS/MS for identification. TAGs were effectively identified taking into consideration of their LC retention behavior, APCI-MS spectra patterns, and MS/MS spectra of $[DAG]^+$ ions. In MS/MS spectra of TAGs, diacylglycerol-like fragment $[DAG]^+$ ions were useful to identify TAGs with isobaric fragment ions. Based on an established method, 27 TAGs and 8 DAGs were identified in coix seed extract. Among them, 15 TAGs and 8 DAGs were for the first time observed in coix seed. Interestingly, some of TAGs isolated by prep-TLC were partly converted into DAGs through probably photolysis process during storing in room temperature. Thus, degradation phenomenon of TAGs should be considered in the quality evaluation and nutritional property of coix seed. LC-APCI-MS/MS combined with prep-TLC will be practical method for precise TAG and DAG analysis of other herbal plants.

적포도주에 들어 있는 trans-resveratrol을 분석하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 Sep-Pak $C_{18}$-cartridges를 이용한 고체상 추출법의 전처리 및 LC/MS-ESI 방법과 LC/MS-APCI 방법을 사용하여 국내에서 시판되고 있는 포도주에서 trans-resveratrol의 함량을 비교 분석하였다. LC/MS-ESI 방법에 의한 trans-resveratrol 함량은 $0.06-4.31{\mu}g/mL$로 검출되었고, 회수율은 88.4-97.9%, 상대 표준편차는 0.6-4.6%로 나타났으며, 검출한계는 $0.001{\mu}g/mL$이었다. LC/MS-APCI방법의 경우 trans-resveratrol 함량은 $0.09-4.02{\mu}g/mL$가 검출되었고, 검출한계는 $0.005{\mu}g/mL$로 나타났다.

Liquid chromatography/atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS) has been used for the determination of sulfonamides in meat. Five typical sulfonamides were selected as target compounds, and beef meat was selected as a matrix sample. As internal standards, sulfapyridine and isotope labeled sulfamethazine (${13}^C_6$-SMZ) were used. Compared to the results of recent reports, our result have shown improved precision to a RSD of 1.8% for the determination of sulfamethazine spiked with 75 ng/g level in meat.

The applicability of liquid chromatography-atmospheric-pressure chemical-ionization mass spectrometry (LC-APCI-MS) for the determination of 13C-urea in 13C-urea/PEG capsules has been studied. It is essential to assess the stability of a newly developed low-dose (38 mg) 13C-urea/PEG capsule. which will be used for 13C-urea breath test (13C-UBT) to detect Helicobacter pylori infection.

LC/MS/MS를 이용하여 발기부전 (impotence) 치료제인 sildenafil 및 유사체인 homosildenafil, vardenafil, tadalafil을 분석하는 방법을 확립하였다. 이온화 방법으로는 electrospray ionization (ESI)와 atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) 방법을 사용하였으며 최대 감도와 재현성을 나타내는 조건을 찾기 위하여 여러 가지 파라미터를 변화시켜서 비교하였다. MRM (multiple reaction monitoring)을 위한 적절한 생성이온 (product ion)을 얻기 위하여 ESI 방법에서는 capillary voltage, cone voltage, extractor, entrance, RF lens를 변화시켰으나 전구이온 (precursor ion)을 제외한 뚜렸한 토막이온 (fragment ion)은 생성되지 않았다. 한편, APCI 방법의 경우 entrance, collision energy, exit, corona voltage, cone voltage, extractor, RF lens, cone gas, desolvation gas를 변화시켰을 때 다른 파라미터들의 변화에 따른 전구이온을 제외한 product ion 생성 패턴의 변화는 감지되지 않고 단지 RF lens 조건의 변화에서 precursor ion을 비롯한 토막이온들의 생성과 더불어 S/N의 증가로 인한 검출 한계의 향상이 나타났다. HPLC에서의 최적 분리 조건과 질량 분석기에서 최대 감도를 나타내는 이동상 조건도 조사되었는데 10 mM ammonium formate (pH 4.8):acetonitrile=70:30 의 등용매 용리조건이 좋은 감도를 나타내었으며, 최적의 방법인 ESI-MRM 방법에서 검출한계 (S/N>5)는 sildenafil은 $0.10{\mu}g/mL$, homosildenafil은 $0.025{\mu}g/mL$, vardenafil은 $0.025{\mu}g/mL$ 그리고 tadalafil은 $0.25{\mu}g/mL$이었다.

Haematococcus pluvial is, a green alga, accumulates astaxanthin (3,3'-dihydroxy-$\beta$,$\beta$'-carotene-4,4'-dione) upto 2-3% on a dry weight basis. In the present study, identification of carotenoids from Haematococcus cyst cell extract by HPLC and LC-MS (APCI) and their antioxidant properties were evaluated in in vitro model systems. The extract exhibited 89% and 78% antioxidant activities in the $\beta$-carotene linoleate model and the hydroxyl radical scavenging model, at 9 ppm of total carotenoid, respectively. The extract also showed 80%, 85%, and 79% antioxidant activities against lipid peroxidation in the kidney, brain, and liver of rats. Low-density lipoprotein oxidation induced by $Cu^{2+}$ ions was also protected (45%, 64%, and 75%) by the extract in a dose-dependent manner with different carotenoid levels. Thiobarbituric acid reactive substances concentration in the blood, liver, and kidney of rats were also significantly (p<0.005) decreased in H. pluvialis-treated rats. The potent antioxidant activity is attributable to various carotenoids present in the extract.

This study was done for the determination and excretion profile of adrenosterone and its metabolites in human urine using both liquid chromatography with atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry and gas chromatography with mass spectrometry. Adrenosterone and its two metabolites were detected in human urine after administration a healthy volunteer with 75 mg of adrenosterone. We found that adrenosterone-M1 ($C_{19}H_{26}O_3$) was a reduction and adrenosterone-M2 ($C_{19}H_{26}O_4$) was a hydroxylation at C-ring, which did not know the exact position of the C-ring. The adrenosterone parent was detected by GC/TOF-MS, but not detected by LC/APCI/MS because of low intensity. Adrenosterone and its two metabolites were excreted as their glucuronided fractions. The recovery of this method ranged from 100.7 to 118.4% and the reproducibility and accuracy test were 85.5 to 112.0% and 1.1 to 8.4%, respectively. The excretion studies showed that adrenosterone and its metabolites were detectable in human urine during a 48 h period after oral administration, with maximum level of excretion at 4.1 h. The glucuro-/sulfaconjugated ratio of adrenosterone, M1 and M2 was 0.73 ${\pm}$ 0.03, 0.96 ${\pm}$ 0.06 and 0.89 ${\pm}$ 0.03 (n = 6), respectively. The amounts of adrenosterone excreted in urine were 14.75 ng for 48 h. Also, the maximum level of androsterone and 11$\beta$-hydroxy androsterone, which were endogenous steroids, were reached 4.1 h after the oral administration of adrenosterone.
