In this paper, we report about the application of a sensitive fluorescent derivatization reagent Coumarin151-N-Hydroxysuccinimidyl Carbamate (Cou151DSC) for amino compounds using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) compatible with ultraviolet (UV), fluorescence detector (FLD) and electrospray ionization - tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS)-positive mode. We optimized derivatization procedure and validated an analytical method to determine 24 amino acids in Kvass drink using Norvaline as an internal standard. Compared to 6-Aminoquinolyl-N-Hydroxysuccinimidyl Carbamate (6-AQC), the derivatization with Cou151 DSC is faster and milder, for 5 min at 40°C instead of 15 min at 55°C. The limit of quantitation (LOQ, pmol on column) for 21 amino acids in this work is lower 1.1-30.0 times than values obtained with 6-AQC. The derivatives have excitation wavelength at 355 nm and emission wavelength at 486 nm. Their MS/MS fragmentation behaviors were examined together with 23 other amino compounds. We found three possibilities to lose a neutral group which can be Coumarin 151 isocyanate Cou151NCO (255 Da), amine Coumarin 151 (229 Da) or urea Cou151CONH2 (272 Da). The accuracy of the proposed method was within 83-107% with good relative standard deviations (RSDs) of equal or less than 6%. The recoveries were from 82 to 120% in four spiked concentrations, repeatability was between 0 and 14%. The intra- and inter-day precision are less than 13% and 18%, respectively.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007202 Indicators and Reagents Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D053719 Tandem Mass Spectrometry A mass spectrometry technique using two (MS/MS) or more mass analyzers. With two in tandem, the precursor ions are mass-selected by a first mass analyzer, and focused into a collision region where they are then fragmented into product ions which are then characterized by a second mass analyzer. A variety of techniques are used to separate the compounds, ionize them, and introduce them to the first mass analyzer. For example, for in GC-MS/MS, GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY-MASS SPECTROMETRY is involved in separating relatively small compounds by GAS CHROMATOGRAPHY prior to injecting them into an ionization chamber for the mass selection.
