In immature seeds of Phaseolus vulgaris, the presence of threee new 2-deoxy type brassinosteroids (trihydroxybrassinosteroids) have been demonstrated. These less polar brassinosteroids have been demonstrated. These less polar brassinosteroids have been tentatively characterized to be (3ξ, 22ξ, 23ξ)-2-deoxy-25-methylodolicholide, (3ξ, 22ξ, 23ξ)-2-deoxoy-dolichosterone and (3ξ, 22ξ, 23ξ)-2-deoxy-24-ethylbrassinone by analysis of gas chromatography-mass spectrometry. Their less biological activity and oxidation state than those of tetrahydroxybrassinosteroids suggest that they are potent biosynthetic precusors of tetrahydroxybrassinosteroids.

Some s-triazine herbicides, namely simazine, atrazine, and propazine present as trace components in a complex mixture were analyzed by GC/MS and GC/MS/MS methods. Even though monitoring the molecular ions was the best in terms of sensitivity, adequate analysis could not be done when interfering species were present. When doubly charged ions which appeared at characteristic m/z values were monitored, chromatograms were rather free from interference. More importantly, selected reaction monitoring was found to provide a selective means of detection with general applicability.

Vulcanized rubber containing three kinds of oligomeric resins such as cashew resin, t-octylphenol formaldehyde resin and terpene modified wood rosin has been characterized by simultaneous pyrolysis methylation-gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (SPM-GC/MS). After methylation by the SPM method using tetramethylammonium hydroxide, the methylated pyrolyzates of the corresponding resins were detected with higher sensitivity than underivatized pyrolyzates without any interferences from other ingredients of vulcanized rubber.

Examination was made of the urinary metabolite(s) of CKD-712, which is a chiral compound, named S-YS49 derived from higenamine (one component of Aconite spp.) derivatives. First of all. to analyze the metabolite(s) of CKD-712, a simple and sensitive detection method for CKD-712 was developed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC/MS). (omitted)

The simultaneous analysis of alkylphenols, chlorophenols and bisphenol A in biota samples was performed by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry-selected ion monitoring mode. The phenols were extracted from sample with organic solvent and Forisil and Silica columns for clean-up procedure were compared. Recovery studies were performed at 1-ppm level of phenols added to each biota sample. Their recoveries ranged between 83 and 116% with coefficient of variations of 2.4-11.9%. To improve the detection limits of phenols, trimethylsilyl (TMS) derivatization was applied. The gas chromatographic properties of free phenols and TMS derivatized phenols were also investigated.

($\pm$)-Higenamine is known as a cardiotonic principle of aconite root (root of Aconitum spp., Ranunculaceae). A simple and sensitive detection method for higenamine was developed by using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). The recovery of higenamine after extraction and concentration with XAD-2 resin column was around 95% from rat biological fluids such as bile, plasma and urine. The limits of detection of higenamine in these biological fluids were approximately 0.1 ng/ml each. It has well been suggested that tetrahydroisoquinolines possessing catechol moiety such as higenamine should be subjected to the catechol-O-methyl transferase (COMT) activity in vivo. We detected two major peaks of presumed metabolites of higenamine in the total ion chromatogram obtained from the rat urine sample after the oral adminstration of ($\pm$)-higenamine. The scan mass spectrum of one of the metabolties coincided with those obtained from coclaurine $(C_6$-O-methyl higenamine) and those of the other metabolite are suggestive of isococlaurine $(C_7$-O-methyl higenamine).

A new analytical method for measurement of 3,4-dihydroxyphenylalanine (DOPA) in human urine was developed. DOPA from an aqueous solution was converted into an ethoxycarbonyl (EOC) derivative. A tertbutyldimethylsilyl (TBDMS) reaction under anhydrous conditions was then attempted for analysis by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry in selected ion monitoring mode. A new mass spectral data on DOPA as a tri-EOC/mono-TBDMS derivative was built. This method showed good linearity (r ${\geq}$ 0.999), precision (% relative standard deviation = 3.1-9.2), and accuracy (% relative error = -7.2-8.8), with a detection limit of 0.05 ng/mL. This selective and accurate method of DOPA analysis will be useful for biochemical monitoring of various neurological disorders including Parkinson's disease in biological fluids.

Analysis of additives in cured rubber is often a difficult task for analytical chemists because of a wide variety of complex components. Conventional analyses of additives and rubbers have been done in multistep, off-line processes with large sample size and extensive sample preparations. The coumarone-indene resin, resorcinol-formaldehyde resin, and prevulcanization inhibitor have been characterized by their pyrolysis pathways and mass spectra of characteristic pyrolyzates. Pyrolysis Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) was used in the identification of additives without any sample pretreatment. This result shows that several organic additives in cured rubber can be directly analyzed.
