Ultrahigh performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI- MS/MS) provides a high-speed method to screen a large number of samples for small molecules with specific properties. In this study, UPLC-ESI-MS/MS with multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) was employed to screen urinary phospholipid (PL) content for biomarkers of prostate cancer. From lists of urinary PLs structurally identified using nanoflow LC-ESI-MS/MS, 52 PL species were selected for quantitative analysis in urine samples between 22 cancer-free urologic patients as controls and 45 prostate cancer patients. Statistical treatment of data by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis yielded 14 PL species that differed significantly in relative concentrations (area under curve (AUC) > 0.8) between the two groups. Among PLs present at higher levels in prostate cancer urine, phosphatidylcholines (PCs) and phosphatidylinositols (PIs) constituted the major head group PLs (3 PCs and 7 PIs). For technical reasons, PL species of low abundance may be underrepresented in data from UPLC-ESI-MS/MS performed in MRM mode. However, the proposed method enables the rapid screening of large numbers of plasma or urine samples in the search for biomarkers of human disease.

Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI MS) was used, along with gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), to monitor Paal-Knorr synthesis of 2,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrrole by condensation of aniline with 2,5-hexanedione. In addition to 2,5-dimethyl-1-phenylpyrrole observed as a single spot by TLC, unexpected dimer size compounds were observed by GC-MS. Dimers and trimers were observed by ESI MS. ESI tandem mass spectrometry was used to select plausible structures for the dimer. ESI MS with or without liquid chromatographic separation is useful for observing oligomeric byproducts with low volatility produced in organic reactions.

지표수 중에 과염소산이온을 LC-ESI-MS/MS을 사용하여 분석하였다. 시료는 단지 PTFE 필터를 사용하여 거른 후 LC-ESI-MS/MS 시스템에 직접 주입하여 분석하였다. 이 방법은 3% 이내의 정밀도를 보였고 정량한계는 0.17 ${\mu}g/L$이었다. 시료는 금강물 35 개 유역에서 2, 4, 6월에 각각 시료를 채취하였다. 그 결과 일반 하천수에서는 과염소산이온이 0.23-3.73 ${\mu}g/L$ (평균 0.20 ${\mu}g/L$) 농도범위로 15% 빈도로 검출되었고 공단 근처의 지표수에서는 0.36-25.10 ${\mu}g/L$ (평균 1.69 ${\mu}g/L$)로 36%의 빈도로 검출되었다.

Liquid-chromatography coupled with electrospray-ion trap mass spectrometry was applied to the analysis of the eleutherosides B and E in the Eleutherococcus senticosus cortexes. The optimum ESI/MS results were obtained in the positive ion mode using extracted ion chromatogram targeting Na-adduct molecular ion of each compound. This method allowed rapid and simple gradient separation of underivatized eleutherosides B and E without pre-purification steps at very low concentration.

An HPLC/Esl/MS method has been developed to identify and quantify the spirostanol glycosides in the rhizomes of five Polygonatum species. The relative distribution of two steroidal saponins in each extract was established using the selective ion monitoring (SIM) mode via an electrospray ionization (ESI) source. It was found that there were significant differences in the amount of spirostanol glycosides among the Polygonatum Species. The results showed that this method could be used to identify the steroidal saponins in the extracts and differentiate Polygonatum species with high sensitivity and reproducibility in a short time. Fragmentation patterns of the two reference compounds were also discussed with the electrospray ionization multi-stage tandem mass spectroscopy (ESI-MS$^n$).

$^{31}P$ NMR and ESI-MS studies of $Cu^{2+}$ binding to Fenitrothion (FN) were performed by experimentally and theoretically. The calculated $^{31}P$ NMR chemical shifts for FN-$Cu^{2+}$ complexes are in good agreement with experimental chemical shifts in order, and the results present an important information for organophosphorus pesticide metal complexes. ESI-MS and low energy CID MS/MS experiments of FN-$Cu^{2+}$ complexes combined with accurate mass measurements give insight into the metal localization and allow unambiguous identification of fragments and hydrolysis products.

An UHPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS analytical method was developed for cyclopeptide alkaloids in the seeds of Ziziphus jujuba var. spinosa (Semen Ziziphi Spinosae), which is a commonly used herb in Chinese and Korean traditional medicines. Considering the basicity of cyclopeptide alkaloids, a specific separation method was developed for an UHPLC system. The compounds were detected by DAD and ESI-qTOF-MS, and their fragmentation patterns were also acquired by MS^E technologies. Peak-picking of major compounds was performed with nine previously isolated compounds and two reference standard compounds. Tandem MS fragmentation behaviors of type-Ia and -Ib cyclopeptide alkaloids were investigated with the acquired data to develop a strategy for dereplication of other cyclopeptide alkaloid compounds in Z. jujuba var. spinosa. Two more cyclopeptide alkaloids were tentatively identified with UHPLC-ESI-qTOF-MS using this method.

Detection of mefenamic acid (M, non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug, NSAIDs) and its metallodrug was investigated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and fluorescence spectroscopy. ESI-MS data (500 µL, 1×10-3 M) revealed high detection sensitivity for the drug and metallodrug. ESI-MS spectra revealed peaks at 242, 580, and 777 Da corresponding to [M+H]+, [63Cu(M-H)2(H2O)2+H]+, and [56Fe(M-H)3+H]+, respectively. The metal:mefenamic ratios of ESIMS spectra are in complete agreement with the fluorescence spectroscopy results (1:2 for Cu(II) and 1:3 for Fe(III)). ESI is a soft ionization technique that can be used on labile metallo-mefenamic acids and is promising for the detection of these species in environmental samples and biological fluids.

본 연구에서는 소고기와 우유에서의 클렌부테롤의 확인과 정량을 위하여 LC-ESI/MS/MS을 이용한 방법을 개발하였다. 클렌부테롤과 내부표준물질로 클렌부테롤-D9을 사용한 시료를 가수분해 한 후 에틸아세테이트로 추출하고 농축하였다. 그리고 추출물을 20% 메탄올에 용해하여 HLB 카트리지로 정제한 후 $C_{18}$ 칼럼을 이용한 LC-ESI/MS/MS로 분석하였다. 높은 감도를 얻기 위하여 positive ion mode에서 SRM(selected reaction monitoring)방법을 이용하였다. MS/MS의 SRM방법으로 클렌부테롤과 클렌부테롤-D9의 선구이온(precursor ion), 생성이온(product ion)을 각각 m/z 227${\rightarrow}$203, m/z 286${\rightarrow}$204로 분석한 결과 소고기에서의 클렌부테롤의 정량한계와 회수율은 각각 $0.2{\mu}g/kg$과 84.3~91.1%이었고, 우유에서의 정량한계와 회수율은 각각 $0.05{\mu}g/kg$과 87.7~98.3%이었다.
