Abstract

A method is described for the analysis of b-lyase metabolites of sulfur mustard, 1-methylsulfinyl-2- [2-(methylthio)ethylsulfonyl]ethane and 1,1'-sulfonylbis [2-(methylsulfinyl)ethane], in human urine. The analytes were concentrated from urine on an ENV+ solid-phase extraction cartridge and analyzed by liquid chromatography-positive ion electrospray-tandem mass spectrometry in the selected reaction monitoring mode. Quantitation was performed against deuterated internal standards. Limits of detection were 0.1-0.5 ng/mL. The metabolites were detected in samples of urine from human casualties of sulfur mustard poisoning. The method provides a simpler alternative to gas chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry analysis, avoiding the need for reduction to less polar analytes.

Biosynthetic Transformations

Biosyntheic transformtions are multi-step, enzyme-catalyzed processes where substrates are converted into more complex products in living organisms. Simple compounds are modified, converted into other compounds, or joined together to form macromolecules. Discover the latest research on biosynthetic transformations here.
