Abstract:
This thesis describes the structure elucidation of drug metabolites in biological samples by the use of high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) atmospheric pressure ionization (API) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Due to their different advantages, various mass analyzers have been used in the different experiments. The metabolism of clemastine, flutamide, and meloxicam were studied in vitro and/or in vivo in different species such as humans, dogs, and horses.

Progesterone in the mare declines to almost undetectable concentrations in late gestation. It’s metabolized into several pregnanes, some circulating at very high concentrations. Although the function of many pregnanes remains unclear, 5α-dihydroprogesterone and allopregnanolone are bioactive. Measurements of pregnanes in late gestation are typically by immunoassay, although results are confounded by cross-reactivity with related pregnanes. Conversely, liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) allows differentiation of individual pregnanes. The purposes of these studies were: 1)

Abstract:
This work describes the construction of an inductively-coupled plasma tandem quadrupole mass spectrometer where a quadrupole ion storage trap acts as a second sector and collision cell to achieve neutralization or collisional dissociation of interfering species before mass analysis. Because most elements exist as singly-charged ions in an inductively-coupled plasma (ICP) plume, the ICP can be used as an ionization source for mass analysis (ICP/MS). By reducing the sample to elemental ions before mass analysis, ICP/MS spectra tend to be simple compared with those obtained by ICP-optical emissio

Abstract:
Objectives: Intact cell peptidome profiling (ICPP) with MALDI-ToF Mass-Spectrometry holds promise as a non invasive method to detect head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) objectively, which may improve the early diagnosis of oral cancer tremendously. The present study was designed to discriminate between tumour samples and non-cancer controls (healthy mucosa and oral lesions) by analysing complete spectral patterns of intact cells using MALDI-ToF MS. Material and Methods: In the first step, a data base consisting of 26 patients suffering from HNSCC was established by taking brush biop

Abstract:
Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammation of all parts of the gastrointestinal tract and is represented by two major variations, ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD). It is diagnosed based on the pattern of inflammation. In order to understand the pathology of the disease better urine and saliva samples were collected from patients with IBD, patients in remission and a control group. The metabolomes of the urine and saliva samples were profiled by carrying out chromatography on a ZICpHILIC column in combination with high resolution mass spectrometry. It was possibl

Abstract:
Synthetic drugs such as piperazines are among the most commonly abused drugs and are typically consumed by younger populations. Because of their popularity, developing optimized analytical strategies designed to improve detection and interpretation of synthetic piperazines is of interest to the forensic community. To improve the likelihood that a substance of interest is detected, careful evaluation into the mass spectrometry signal is required. However, with all analytical pursuits, there is a limit at which the substance cannot be detected with certainty; thus a threshold is commonly referre

碩士<br>國立臺灣大學<br>毒理學研究所<br>105<br>Liquid chromatography coupling to mass spectrometry is widely used in several areas. In the forensic science or biological area, it is sometimes quite challenging for the detection of compounds in limited amount samples. The miniaturized Nano-LC present as a great choice for compensating this issue. Sixty-six drugs and phase I, II metabolites of acetylthebaine from heroin impurities were selected as our target analytes. A wide range of polarities are included which is quite difficult in detection within one sample shot due to the analytical column limited selec
