The possibility of cyanoacetohydrazide usage as a novel derivatizing agent is demonstrated in the presented article, and a comparison with hydroxylamine as the most commonly used reagent is provided. Optimal conditions for steroid derivatization with cyanoacetohydrazide are provided. According to the collected data, the maximum yield of derivatives was observed at pH 2.8 within 70 min at 40 °C with 5 ng/mL limit of detection for all investigated analytes. It was shown that cyanoacetohydrazide derivatives produces both syn- and anti-forms as well as hydroxylamine, and their ratios were evaluated and shown in presented work. An efficiency enchantment from two to up to five times was achieved with a novel derivatization reagent. Its applicability for qualitative analysis of steroids in urine was presented at real samples. Additionally, the reproducible fragmentation of the derivatizing agent in collision-induced dissociation offers opportunities for simplified non-targeted steroidomic screening. Furthermore, cyanoacetohydrazide increases ionization efficiency in positive mode, which can eliminate the need for redundant high-resolution instrument runs required for both positive and negative mode analyses.
本文展示了氰基乙酰胺腙作为一种新型衍生化试剂的可能性,并与最常用的试剂羟胺进行了比较。提供了甾体化合物与氰基乙酰胺腙衍生化的最佳条件。根据收集的数据,在 pH 2.8、40°C 下反应 70 分钟时,所有被研究的分析物的检测限均达到 5ng/mL,观察到衍生物的最大产率。结果表明,氰基乙酰胺腙衍生物既能生成顺式和反式异构体,也能生成羟胺,并且评估了它们的比例,并在本工作中进行了展示。与新型衍生化试剂相比,效率提高了 2 到 5 倍。并在实际样品中展示了其在尿液中定性分析甾体的适用性。此外,衍生化试剂在碰撞诱导解离中的可重复的碎裂为简化非靶向性甾体组学筛选提供了机会。此外,氰基乙酰胺腙在正模式下增加了离子化效率,这可以消除对正、负模式分析都需要进行的多余的高分辨率仪器运行的需求。
