Problems solved by technology

Absolute quantitation of amine-containing compounds by the above-mentioned methods can be problematic.
For example, in order to analyze many amine-containing compounds by HPLC, a difficult and time-consuming derivatization step must be performed before analysis occurs.
In addition, HPLC has the drawbacks of long analysis times, high run-to-run deviations, a lack of multiplexing capability and non-specificity.
The more recent use of LC / MS and MS / MS for the detection and quanititation of amine-containing compounds offers the advantage of increased sensitivity and specificity and the ability to rapidly measure multiple amine-containing compounds in one sample; however, these techniques also lack a multiplexing capability.
In order to perform absolute quantitation, expensive isotopically enriched compounds are used as internal standards, which are incompatible with some tandem mass spectrometry methods.
Although, e.g., isotopically enriched amino acids can be used as internal standards for absolute quantitation of amino acid concentrations, one drawback of using stable isotope analogs of amino acids in MALDI mass spectrometry is that in some cases matrix related signals can interfere in the m / z region of interest of the amino acid.

Compounds from Different Sample Types

[0111] The following example illustrates the use of a variety of sample types. The teachings of this example are not exhaustive, and are not intended to limit the scope of these experiments or the present teachings

[0112] Various embodiments of the analysis of one or more amine-containing compounds from various sample types using a method of the present teachings are illustrated. In various embodiments, the one or more of amine-containing compounds of interest can originate from one or more diverse sample types, e.g, plasma, wines, proteins, peptides and amino acids in this example. In general, a sample can be processed such that compounds of interest in a sample contain one or more amine groups suitable for labeling with an isobaric tag, such as, for example, primary and secondary amines.

Abstract

The present teachings provide methods for analyzing one or more amine-containing compounds in one or more samples using isobaric labels and parent-daughter ion transition monitoring (PDITM). In various embodiments, the methods comprise the steps of: (a) labeling one or more amine-containing compounds with different isobaric tags from a set of isobaric tags, each isobaric tag comprising a reporter ion portion; (b) combining at least a portion of each of the isobarically labeled amine-containing compounds to produce a combined sample; (c) subjecting at least a portion of the combined sample to PDITM; (d) measuring the ion signal of one or more of the transmitted reporter ions; and (e) determining the concentration of one or more of the isobarically labeled amine-containing compounds based at least on a comparison of the measured ion signal of the corresponding reporter ion to one or more measured ion signals of a standard compound.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS [0001] The present application claims the benefit of and priority to copending U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 651,734, entitled “Amine-containing Compound Analysis Methods”, filed Feb. 9, 2005, the entire disclosure of which is herein incorporated by reference.INTRODUCTION [0002] Amine-containing compounds represent important biological and medicinal chemicals. Examples of amine-containing compounds include proteins, peptides, polyamines, amino acids, catecholamines and nitrofuran metabolites. Current methods for the quantitation of amine-containing compounds include high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with ultra-violet (UV) fluorescent, or electrochemical detection, liquid chromatography in conjunction with mass spectrometry (LC / MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS / MS). [0003] Absolute quantitation of amine-containing compounds by the above-mentioned methods can be problematic. For example, in order to analyze many amine-contai...
