In this study, methanol extracts from 25 indigenous Korean corals were prepared and their carotenoid constituents were analyzed by high-performance liquid chromatography-atmospheric pressure chemical ionization-mass spectrometry (HPLC-APCI-MS). Among them, extracts from nine species showed detectable peaks in the HPLC chromatogram at 450 nm and the ultraviolet/visible spectra exhibiting carotenoid-specific characteristics were chosen. The mass data of carotenoid peaks revealed that only peridinin could be identified based on literature comparison and suggested the potential presence of novel carotenoid structures. This is the first reported investigation of indigenous Korean coral carotenoids and further work is needed to explore the carotenoids and their potential roles in the ecosystem of indigenous Korean corals.

Zidovudine is an antiretroviral agent prescribed for the prevention and treatment of human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS). It is typically recommended to be used in combination with other antiretroviral drugs. Zidovudine has the potential to generate N-nitrosodimethylamine (NDMA) in the presence of dimethylamine and nitrite salt under acidic reaction conditions during the drug manufacturing process. NDMA is a potent human carcinogen that may be detected in drug substances or drug products. An analytical method was developed to determine NDMA in pharmaceuticals including zidovudine using high performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-MS/MS). The analysis involved reversed-phase chromatography on a Kinetex F5 column with a mobile phase comprising water-acetonitrile mixtures. The detection of positively charged ions was conducted using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI). The calibration curve demonstrated excellent linearity (r = 0.9997) across the range of 1-50 ng/mL with a highly sensitive limit of detection (LOD) at 0.3 ng/mL. The developed method underwent thorough validation for specificity, linearity, accuracy, precision, robustness, and system suitability. This sensitive and specific analytical method was applied for detecting NDMA in zidovudine drug substance and its formulation currently available in the market, indicating its suitability for drug quality management purposes.

BACKGROUND: An official analytical method was developed to determine etofenprox residues in agricultural commodities using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). METHODS AND RESULTS: The etofenprox residue was extracted with acetone from representative samples of five raw products which comprised rice grain, apple, mandarin, cabbage, and soybean. The extract was then serially purified by liquid-liquid partition and Florisil column chromatography. For rice and soybean samples, acetonitrile/n-hexane partition was additionally coupled to remove nonpolar lipids. Reversed phase HPLC using an octadecylsilyl column was successfully applied to separate etofenprox from co-extractives. Intact etofenprox was sensitively detected by ultraviolet absorption at 225 nm. Recovery experiment at the quantitation limit validated that the proposed method could apparently determine the etofenprox residue at 0.02 mg/kg. Mean recoveries from five crop samples fortified at three levels in triplicate were in the range of 93.6~106.4%. Relative standard deviations of the analytical method were all less than 10%, irrespective of crop types. A selected-ion monitoring LC/mass spectrometry with positive atmospheric-pressure chemical ionization was also provided to confirm the suspected residue. CONCLUSION(s): The proposed method is simple, rapid and sensitive enough to be employed in routine inspection or monitoring of agricultural products for the etofenprox residue.

본 연구는 과실류에 잔류하는 ETU 분석을 위해 LC/APCI-MS를 이용하여 신속 정확한 분석법 검증을 실시하였다. 시료 중 존재하는 ETU 성분 추출로 사용된 용매는 $CH_2Cl_2$이며, 시료 전처리 시 cys-HCl 0.4 g, $Na_2CO_34g$을 사용할 때 최적의 회수율을 나타냈다. 분석 시 $C_{18}$ column으로 분리되어 나온 ETU의 머무름 시간대에서 어떠한 간섭현상도 보이지 않았으며 232 nm에서 최고의 흡수파장을 보였다. 귤 시료에 ETU를 첨가한 결과값의 직선성은 적합한 것으로 나타났다($R^2$=1). 정밀성과 정확성은 0.05-1.0 mg/kg에서 RSD$\leq$10%이며, 회수율은 평균 80% 이상의 결과를 보였다. 배, 포도, 바나나의 회수율도 마찬가지로 80% 이상으로 나타났다. 본 실험방법으로 시중에 유통중인 과실류를 구입하여 모니터링을 한 결과 ETU는 오렌지 과피에서 4건이 검출되었고 최고 잔류치는 $73.6{\mu}g/kg$ 이었다. 귤 과피는 3건 검출 되었고 최고 잔류치는 $29.8{\mu}g/kg$이었다. 본 연구의 과실류에 잔류하는 ETU 분석법은 시료 전처리에 필요한 시간을 줄일 수 있으며 전처리 단계를 간소화함으로써 오염도를 줄였다. 기존에 발표된 논문에 비해 전처리 시간은 약 20분 정도 소요되며, 분석 시 재현성, 정밀성 등을 고려할 때 과실류에 존재하는 ETU 분석법에 적합한 것으로 사료된다.
