Abstract
Background
Myo-inositol (MI) and D-chiro-inositol (DCI) are two paramount isomers of inositol, both vital in glucose and steroid metabolism. Deficits in MI, DCI or MI/DCI ratio are expressly concerned with several pathological process, whereas MI and DCI lack practical measurement for human specimen.
Methods
To quantify MI and DCI in serum samples simultaneously, a gas chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS) method was established. The process flow was optimized in ion source, derivative agent volume and reaction time. The performance characteristics were verified by commercial standards and clinical serums.
Results
This method was confirmed to be sensitive (LOD ≤ 30 ng/mL of MI, ≤3 ng/mL of DCI) and reproducible (RSD < 6 % for repeated analyses). Quantitative determinations performed good linearity within the measurement range of 0.500–10.00 and 0.005–0.500 μg/mL for MI and DCI respectively (R2 > 0.999). The recoveries of MI and DCI were 97.11–99.35 % and 107.82–113.09 %, respectively. This method was successfully applied to 114 clinical specimens. No significant matrix effect was observed in serum samples under current conditions.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Chromatography A provides a forum for the publication of original research and critical reviews on all aspects of fundamental and applied separation science. The scope of the journal includes chromatography and related techniques, electromigration techniques (e.g. electrophoresis, electrochromatography), hyphenated and other multi-dimensional techniques, sample preparation, and detection methods such as mass spectrometry. Contributions consist mainly of research papers dealing with the theory of separation methods, instrumental developments and analytical and preparative applications of general interest.
