Estrogens in personal care products are harmful to customers. Conventional methods such as HPLC and LC-MS require tedious sample pretreatment and long analytical time. Paper-spray ionization mass spectrometry (PSI-MS) is a powerful tool for the determination of compounds with little time and minimal pretreatment procedures. Since most estrogens show poor responses in PSI-MS, we developed a chemical derivatization and PSI-MS method to determinate three estrogens: estradiol, estriol and ethinyloestradiol with estradiol valerate as the internal standard (I.S.). After derivatization with 2-fluoro-1-methyl-pyridinium-p-toluene-sulfonate, the three estrogens could be quantified in seconds. This method showed good linearity in the range of 0.130 μg·mL, with R > 0.999. Their recovery results were all between 85%115%. The limits of detection (LOD) were 0.04 μg·mL, 0.02 μg·mL and 0.02 μg·mL for estradiol, estriol and ethinyloestradiol respectively, which improved around 200, 2000, and 900 times compared to non-derivative PSI-MS. The method could quantitatively determine estrogens in cosmetics.
个人护理产品中的雌激素对消费者有害。高效液相色谱法(HPLC)和液相色谱-质谱法(LC-MS)等常规方法需要繁琐的样品预处理和较长的分析时间。纸喷雾电离质谱法(PSI-MS)是一种用于测定化合物的强大工具,其分析时间短,预处理步骤最少。由于大多数雌激素在 PSI-MS 中响应较差,我们开发了一种化学衍生化和 PSI-MS 方法来测定三种雌激素:雌二醇、雌三醇和炔雌醇,以雌二醇戊酸酯为内标(IS)。用 2-氟-1-甲基-吡啶𬭩对甲苯磺酸盐衍生化后,三种雌激素可在数秒内定量。该方法在 0.130 μg·mL 的范围内具有良好的线性关系,R > 0.999。它们的回收率均在 85%115%之间。雌二醇、雌三醇和炔雌醇的检测限(LOD)分别为 0.04 μg·mL、0.02 μg·mL 和 0.02 μg·mL,与非衍生 PSI-MS 相比,分别提高了约 200、2000 和 900 倍。该方法可定量测定化妆品中的雌激素。
