Soil samples were extracted and cleaned-up with 10 mL EDTA-McIlvaine buffer solution （pH 4.0）, then cleaned-up and pre-concentrated using the Oasis MAX cartridge and then eluted with 1 mL solution by mixing formic acid, methanol and water at a ratio of 2：15：83 （v/v/v）. The purified samples were separated by an ACQUITY UPLC BEH C18 column using acetonitrile and water containing 0.1% formic acid mobile phase and detected by a single quadrupole MS. The limits of detection for the soil extraction method （LODsoil） ranged from 0.6-2.5 lag kg-~ with recoveries from 23.3-159.2%. Finally, the method was applied to an agricultural field in an area with intensive pig-fattening farming. Tetracyclines were detected in soil from 2.8 to 42.4 μg kg-1 soil. These results demonstrate that soil from swine farms can become severely contaminated with tetracycline antibiotics and their metabolites.展开更多

Element composition data of the fragment ions were obtained with the aid of comparison of the multiple tandem mass spectra of four compounds, and the structures of which are identical except for some substituted groups or epimers or cis-trans-isomers. Attempts have been made to provide rational pathways for the formation of the fragment ions from these protonated compounds. And the structure-fragmentation relationships will facilitate the characterization of the structures of other analogs.展开更多

This article is a proof-of-principle report of a novel DMS–MS/MS method to separate and simultaneously quantify epimers, taking PGF2α and its 8-epimer, 8-iso-PGF2α, as an example. Good accuracy and precision were achieved in the range of 10–500 ng/m L with a run time of only 1.5 min. Isopropanol as organic modifier facilitated a good combination of sensitivity and separation. The method is the first example of the quantitation of epimers without chromatographic separation.展开更多

The key step was the synthesis of 2-chloro-1-acetamido sugars using （COCl） 2-AgNO 3-CH 3 CN system in high yields. 2-Deoxy-2-chloro-1-amino sugars were obtained by treating the corresponding acetamido sugars with HCl in MeOH. All the compounds, including the reference compound, displayed almost no cytotoxic activity to the selected cancer cell lines.展开更多
