Low-energy negative-ion electrospray mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and ESI-MS/MS were used to characterize saturated and unsaturated fatty acids. The carbon number and degree of unsaturation of fatty acids were determined using ESI-MS, and MS/MS was used to localize some double bond positions of mono-a

โฆ Synopsis
Identification of sulfonylureas in serum is important in the diagnosis of hypoglycemic crisis of unknown origin. Methods based on HPLC with UV or fluorescence detection may give false positive results. Mass spectrometry may successfully avoid this problem. The described method allows the simultaneous identification and quantification of tolbutamide, chlorpropamide, glibenclamide, and glipizide in human serum using one of the tested sulfonylureas as the internal standard. Serum purification is carried out by solidphase extraction with ENVI-C18 cartridges and samples are analyzed by liquid chromatography-electrospray mass spectrometry. For all drugs, the limit of detection and the limit of quantification are about 2 and 10 ng/ml, respectively.
