Liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) enables the accurate and precise quantification of various analytes at very low concentrations, but it has room for improvement in analysis throughput. Multiplexing of samples in the same injection could be a promising procedure for enhancing the analysis throughput. This could be achieved by derivatization of the multiple samples with multiple isotopologous reagents. In this study, a sample-multiplexed LC/ESI-MS/MS assay using the 1-[(4-dimethylaminophenyl)carbonyl]piperazine (DAPPZ) isotopologues (2H0-, 2H3-, and 2H6-forms) was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of primary bile acids in three different plasma samples in a single run. The developed method had satisfactory intra- and inter-assay precisions (≤ 2.3 and ≤ 4.2%, respectively) and accuracy (99.0 – 100.3%), and could reduce the total LC/ESI-MS/MS run time by more than 60% for 42 samples compared to the conventional method. Thus, the derivatization with the DAPPZ isotopologues worked well for enhancing the throughput of the LC/ESI-MS/MS assay of the bile acids.

Many studies have demonstrated that the dietary supplementation of polyamines, especially spermidine (SPD), prevents age-related diseases. Rice bran is rich in polyamines and their amounts could be increased by fermentation with Aspergillus oryzae (A. oryzae). In this study, we developed a method for the determination of putrescine (PUT), SPD and spermine (SPM) in rice bran samples by liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS) after derivatization with 4-(N,N-dimethylaminosulfonyl)-7-fluoro-2,1,3-benzoxadiazole (DBD-F). The derivatization improved the LC retention and ESI-MS/MS detectability of the polyamines, and consequently enabled precise and accurate quantification. Using this method, we found that the SPD content increased to 158% due to fermentation with A. oryzae, while the content of PUT and SPM decreased. SPD is known as the polyamine playing a central role in cell proliferation and growth, and therefore has health benefits. The fermented rice bran might be a good material for functional foods aimed at SPD supplementation.
