We have investigated the in vitro metabolism of pectenotoxin-2 (PTX-2) using primary hepatocytes from Wistar rats in suspension. Purified PTX-2 was rapidly metabolized. Two major and several minor oxidized PTX-2 metabolites were formed, none of which had retention times corresponding to PTX-1, -11, or −13. Hydrolysis products, such as PTX-2 seco acid, were not observed. Preliminary multi-stage LC-MS analyses indicated that the major hepatic PTX-2 metabolites resulted from the insertion of an oxygen atom at the positions C-19 to C-24, or at C-44. The rapid oxidative metabolism may explain the low oral toxicity of PTXs observed in vivo studies., Highlights • PTX-2 is rapidly metabolized in rat hepatocytes. • Two major and several minor oxidized PTX-2 metabolites were formed. • The results may explain the low oral toxicity of PTXs observed in vivo studies.

Abstract: Background: Mucopolysaccharidoses are complex lysosomal storage disorders caused by any of eleven different enzyme deficiencies resulting in the accumulation of substrates, mainly glycosaminoglycans (GAGs), in various tissues and biological fluids. Method: We developed and validated a urine filter paper methodology for the analysis of GAGs using liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS) for mucopolysaccharidoses type I, type II and type VI patients. We focused on 2 objectives: first, its applicability to high-risk screening, and secondly, to facilitate the collection and shipping of samples to reference centers as part of diagnostic investigation, as well as from treated patients needing to be monitored for assessment of the efficacy of treatment. GAGs in urine dried onto filter paper were extracted and subjected to methanolysis to obtain the repeating disaccharides of the molecules. We devised a multiple reaction monitoring method in positive electrospray ionization mode. Results: The use of deuterated internal standards for dermatan sulfate (DS) and heparan sulfate (HS) reduced a troubling matrix effect. The resulting CVs were <14%. Linearity assessment showed Pearson correlation coefficients of 0.999 and 0.997, for DS and HS, respectively. The stability on filter paper was good for DS and HS for up to 6weeks at various temperatures. Conclusion: We devised a robust and efficient LC–MS/MS methodology for GAGS quantification in urine dried on filter paper and subjected to environmental conditions likely to be encountered during collection, storage and shipping of specimens from referring physicians to medical centers.

WOS: 000380137500017 PubMed: 27146949 The aim of this study was the optimisation of a multi-analyte method for the analysis of primary aromatic amines ( PAAs) from napkins in order to support official controls and food safety. We developed a UHPLC- MS/ MS method for the simultaneous determination of 36 toxicologically relevant PAAs for paper and board. Good regression coefficients of the calibration curves in a range of 0.992- 0.999 and reproducibilities in a range of 2.3- 15% were obtained. Limits of detections ( LODs) were in the range of 0.03-1.4 mu g l(-1) and recoveries were in a range of 21-110% for all the amines. A total of 93 coloured paper napkin samples from different European countries were bought and extracted with water to determine the PAAs. The results showed that 42 of 93 samples contained at least one PAA. More than half of the detected PAAs are considered as toxic, carcinogenic or probably carcinogenic to humans by the International Agency for Research on Cancer ( IARC), or are classified as such in the European Union legislation on chemicals. Summed concentrations of PAAs in seven samples were higher than 10 mu g l(-1), the limit of summed PAA in the European Union plastic food contact material regulation. Also, eight PAAs, classified as Category 1A and 1B carcinogen in the European Union legislation of chemicals, were detected at concentrations higher than 2 mu g l(-1), exceeding the limit proposed by the Federal Institute for Risk Assessment in Germany. Aniline ( n = 14) was most frequently present in higher concentrations followed by o-toluidine, o-anisidine, 2,4-dimethylaniline and 4-aminoazobenzene. Red, orange, yellow and multicoloured paper napkins contained the highest concentrations of total PAAs (> 10 mu g l(-1)). Although the European Union has not harmonised the legislation of paper and board materials and, thus, there is no specific migration limit for PAAs from paper napkins, the present study showed that coloured paper napkins can contain toxic and carcinogenic PAAs at concentrations that are relevant for monitoring.
