为准确测定小鼠血液中4-(N-甲基-N-亚硝氨基)-1-(3-吡啶基)-1-丁酮(NNK)及其代谢物,了解小鼠体内NNK的代谢途径,利用Q Exactive轨道阱高分辨质谱仪,建立了一种同时检测C57BL/6小鼠血液中NNK及其7种代谢物[4-(N-甲基-N-亚硝氨基)-1-(3-吡啶基)-1-丁醇(NNAL)、NNK-N-氧化物(NNK-N-oxide)、NNAL-N-氧化物(NNAL-N-oxide)、4-羟基-1-(3-吡啶基)-1-丁酮(HPB)、1-(3-吡啶基)-1,4-二醇(PBD)、1-(3-吡啶基)-1-丁酮-4-羧酸(吡啶基丁酮酸)和1-(3-吡啶基)-1-丁醇-4-羧酸(吡啶基羟基酸)]的液相色谱-高分辨质谱(LC-HRMS)方法。以NNK-d4、NNAL-d3和HPB-d4为内标,小鼠血清样品经乙腈沉淀蛋白后,直接进行亲水相互作用色谱(HILIC)柱分离和质谱分析,质谱扫描模式采用一级全扫描和数据依赖二级扫描(Full MS/dd MS2)模式。结果表明:各目标物的定量限在0.042-0.263 ng/m之间,线性相关系数为0.999 1-1.000 0,加标回收率在89.2%-116.5%之间,日内精密度在1.54%-8.06%之间。该方法选择性好,分析效率高,目标物线性范围大,适合于小鼠血液中NNK及其代谢物检测与分析。
In order to accurately determine levels of 4-(N-methyl-N-nitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone(NNK) and its metabolites in mouse blood and the metabolic pathways of NNK in mice, a liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry(LC-HRMS) method for simultaneous determination of NNK and its seven metabolites [including 4-(N-methyl-N-nitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol(NNAL),NNK-N-oxide, NNAL-N-oxide, 4-hydroxy-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone(HPB), 1-(3-pyridyl)-1,4-diol(PBD), 1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone-4-carboxylic acid and 1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanol-4-carboxylic acid] in the blood ofC57BL/6 mice was established by Q Exactive Orbitrap High Resolution Mass Spectrometer. With NNK-d4,NNAL-d3, and HPB-d4 as internal standards, after protein precipitation with acetonitrile, the serum samples of C57BL/6 mice were separated by a HILIC column and determined by a mass spectrometer under full scan/data dependent MS2 mode. The results showed that the limits of quantification of the target analytes ranged from 0.042 to 0.263 ng/m L with correlation coefficients of 0.999 1 to 1.000 0, and the recoveries ranged from 89.2% to116.5% with the intra-day precision of 1.54% to 8.06%. The developed method features good selectivity, high efficiency and large linear range, and is suitable for the simultaneous determination of NNK and its seven metabolites in mouse blood.
