In support of studies investigating the toxicity and toxicokinetic behavior of arsenic compounds, we developed and validated a high-resolution sector field inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (SF-ICP-MS) method to quantitate total arsenic in Sprague-Dawley (SD) rat plasma and heart. Primary matrix standard curves prepared in male SD rat plasma were linear (r ≥ 0.999) over the range of 5 to 1250 ng As/mL plasma with accuracy determined as relative error (RE) was ≤ ±20% at the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) of 5 ng/mL and ≤ ±15% for all other concentrations. The method limit of detection (LOD) was 0.728 ng/mL plasma. Mean extraction recovery was 96.7%, with a relative standard deviation (RSD) of 4.0%. The method demonstrated acceptable inter- (≤ ±7.3% RE and ≤ 8.0% RSD) and intra-day (≤ ±14.9% RE and ≤ 6.8% RSD) accuracy and precision. Method selectivity was ≤ 20% of the response for the LLOQ. Method performance was also evaluated in SD rat heart by preparing QC samples in heart homogenate and quantifying using plasma calibration curve. The mean RE value was -3.8% and the RSD value was 3.4% demonstrating that the method is suitable for quantitation of arsenic in rat heart.</p>","PeriodicalId":7788,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Letters","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12383451/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144939304","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, a simple and rapid method based on ion mobility spectrometry (IMS) was developed to distinguish and relatively quantify the 2,5/3,5-lutidine (2,5/3,5-LUT) isomers. Initially, the two isomers were separated through complexation with α-, β-, and γ-cyclodextrins (CDs), with a slight inter-peak resolution observed in the formation of the [CD+LUT+H]<sup>+</sup> complexes. To enhance the differentiation, metal ions (Mn<sup>2+</sup>, Fe<sup>2+</sup>, Co<sup>2+</sup>, Zn<sup>2+</sup>) were introduced to form ternary complexes, and α-CD in coordination with Zn<sup>2+</sup> yielded the most effective separation of 2,5/3,5-LUT. Theoretical conformations of [α-CD + 2,5/3,5-LUT+H]<sup>+</sup> and [α-CD + 2,5/3,5-LUT+Zn-H]<sup>+</sup> were optimized. Furthermore, collision-induced dissociation (CID) analysis of the [α-CD + 2,5/3,5-LUT+Zn-H]<sup>+</sup> complexes revealed that the dissociation energy varies due to different spatial conformations. Finally, the method demonstrated reliable relative quantification, achieving a satisfactory linear correlation (<i>R</i><sup>2</sup>>0.99). The developed approach offers a simple, precise, and cost-effective strategy for isomer identification and conformational analysis, with potential applications in chemical and pharmacological fields.","PeriodicalId":7788,"journal":{"name":"Analytical Letters","volume":"59 4","pages":"583-593"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-04-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147898763","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"化学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
