Abstract
Aims: Cyanoenone triterpenoids penetrate the CNS, exhibiting biological activity via the nuclear factor E2-related factor (Nrf2) pathway. This is the first report on methods for the quantification of cyanonenone triterpenoids' distribution in various CNS tissues by LC-MS/MS. Materials & methods: The analyte was extracted from brain tissue homogenate using protein precipitation and supported liquid extraction. Results & conclusion: The assay validated a quantification range of 3.00-3000 ng/g in brain tissue samples as low as 5 mg. All parameters, including interference (≤20% at LLOQ) and accuracy/precision (15%, with 20% at LLOQ), met acceptance criteria. This assay supported a CNS distribution study, analyzing more than 10 mouse brain regions successfully.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
