    Change in cuticular hydrocarbons (CHCs) and cuticular hydrocarbons profile (CHP) of the Formica japonica ant collected over a three-year period comprising 2006 (May to October), 2007 (May to October), and 2008 (March to October) were examined by gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and a principal component analysis method. It was found that cyclic changes in CHPs for n-monoalkenes and branched monomethyl alkanes occur every year. This indicates that the observed tendencies include n-monoalkenes undergoing a relative increase from March or May to June, and a decrease from July to October, whereas branched monomethyl alkanes undergoing a relative decrease during March or May to June, and increase during July to October.

    Advanced Marfey's method was successfully applied to the optical resolution of 1,2-diaminoethane compounds. The elution behavior of 1,2-diphenylethylene-1,2-diamine and 1,2-bis(2-methylphenyl)ethylene-1,2-diamine derivatized with L- and D-FDLA was carefully investigated and the following regularity was found: 1) The (S,S)-isomers are eluted prior to the (R,R)-isomer; 2) The (R,R)- and meso-isomers are closely eluted; 3) There is no difference between the retention time of both the L- and D-derivatives of the meso-isomer; 4) This regularity is fundamentally consistent with that of diamino acids such as diaminopimelic acid and diaminosuccinic acid. Finally, it was confirmed that this method along with the DL-FDLA method could be applicable for the determination of the absolute configuration of 1,2-diaminoethane compounds because the method can definitely determine it by the elution order.

    A simultaneous method for quantification of four catechol estrogens, namely, 2-hydroxyestrone, 2-hydroxyestradiol, 4-hydroxyestrone, and 4-hydroxyestradiol by liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS/MS) was developed in a positive mode for analyzing a simple picolinyl derivatization. Reaction of these estrogens with picolinyl derivatization reagent resulted in the formation of di- or tri-picolinyl derivatives, and the derivatives exhibited single charged protonated molecules as base peaks in a positive mode in electrospray ionization/mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Picolinyl derivatives of these catechol estrogens provided approximately 10 times greater ESI responses in LC-ESI-MS/MS (selected reaction monitoring) compared with those of underivatized molecules in a negative mode. The use of picolinyl derivatizatives, solid-phase extraction, and a 13C-labeled internal standard helped us in determining these catechol estrogens whose quantification limit was 20 pg for every sample. The present method was applied for quantifying these catechol estrogens in a biological sample.

    The dynamic ranges for quantitative analyses of etoposides using a desorption/ionization technique, electrospray droplet impact, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization were investigated. Etoposide and ethyl-etoposide were used for analyte and internal standard, respectively. The calibration curves show a proportional relationship in the range of ∼4 orders of magnitude, and the coefficients of determination (R2) well exceed 0.9.

    In general, it is difficult to distinguish between sulfate and phosphate groups in natural products, because these groups are found only in trace amounts in natural products. We have devised a hydrogen/deuterium (H/D) exchange method using the liquid chromatography mass spectrometry technique for establishing a general methodology to distinguish between sulfated and phosphorylated compounds. Sulfate- or phosphate-containing compounds were differentiated by the H/D exchange method based on the number of exchangeable hydrogen in deuterated sulfate (-SO3D) and phosphate (-PO3D2), respectively. In this paper, we describe an application of this method to a natural product and in particular to Watasenia oxyluciferin that is found in the firefly squids (Hotaru-ika in Japanese) for the purpose of identifying coelenteramide disulfate.

    Lithium (Li) ion attachment mass spectrometry (IAMS) is a highly sensitive method for detecting volatile organic compounds (VOCs) without fragmentation in real-time. We have therefore developed a novel IAMS system for direct determination of trace amounts of VOCs by modifying the sampling cone interface. This technique was successfully applied to in situ analysis of human breath. It was shown that the concentrations of acetone in 7 healthy subjects ranged from 0 (not detectable) to 28.5 ppbv (parts per billion by volume) after a 15-hour overnight fast. The detection limit (3σ) is 0.55 ppbv for acetone and the relative standard deviation (RSD) is less than 9.7%. These results demonstrate that the newly developed IAMS system provides simple, rapid, and sensitive measurements of trace amounts of acetone in human breath, and that the system is promising for early diagnosis of diabetes.
