An LC-MS/MS Method to Measure S-Methyl-l-Cysteine and S-Methyl-l-Cysteine Sulfoxide in Human Specimens Using Isotope Labelled Internal Standards
This is the first report describing an analytical method for quantitative analysis of two naturally occurring sulphur compounds, S-methyl-l-cysteine (SMC) and S-methyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide (SMCSO), in human body fluids using isotope-labelled internal standards and liquid chromatography-mass spectrom...

description | This is the first report describing an analytical method for quantitative analysis of two naturally occurring sulphur compounds, S-methyl-l-cysteine (SMC) and S-methyl-l-cysteine sulfoxide (SMCSO), in human body fluids using isotope-labelled internal standards and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)/MS techniques. This method was validated according to the guideline of the Royal Society of Chemistry Analytical Methods Committee. It offers significant advantages including simple and fast preparation of human biological samples. The limits of detection of SMC were 0.08 µM for urine and 0.04 µM for plasma. The limits of detection of SMCSO were 0.03 µM for urine and 0.02 µM for plasma. The calibration curves of all matrices showed linearity with correlation coefficients r(2) > 0.9987. The intra and inter day precisions in three levels of known concentrations were >10% and >20%, respectively. The quantification accuracy was 98.28 ± 5.66%. The proposed method would be beneficial for the rapid and accurate determination of the SMC and SMCSO in human plasma and urine samples using by isotope labelled internal standards. |
