We report an accurate quantification of free sialic acid (SA) in human plasma using LC-MS/MS method with isotope-labeled standard calibration (ILSC) and robust derivatization. Specifically, derivatization of SA with a stable and inexpensive 3,4-diaminotoluene (DAT) provides a stable product of SA with high MS response, proving a convenient and cost-effective LC-MS/MS analysis of free SA. In addition, the use of (13)C3-SA as calibration standard ensured the accuracy for the measurement. This assay used ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UHPLC) for separation of native/labeled SA and IS from matrix interference, and employed mass spectrometry in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode for sensitive and selective detection. We have achieved a lower limit of quantification (LLOQ) of 20ng/mL and a total running time of 4.2min, which is the most sensitive and quick measurement for free SA in biomatrices.
我们报道了一种使用 LC-MS/MS 方法结合同位素标记标准校准(ILSC)和稳健衍生化,准确量化人血浆中游离唾液酸(SA)的方法。具体来说,通过与稳定且廉价的 3,4-二氨基甲苯(DAT)衍生化 SA,可以得到具有高 MS 响应的稳定的 SA 产物,证明了游离 SA 的 LC-MS/MS 分析既方便又具有成本效益。此外,使用(13)C3-SA 作为校准标准,确保了测量的准确性。该测定法使用超高效液相色谱(UHPLC)分离天然/标记的 SA 和内标物,以避免基质干扰,并采用质谱在多重反应监测(MRM)模式下进行灵敏和选择性检测。我们实现了 20ng/mL 的定量下限(LLOQ)和总运行时间为 4.2min,这是生物基质中游离 SA 的最灵敏和快速的测量方法。
