Article Synopsis
  • The development of a multi-analyte method can be challenging due to diverse target compounds, but this study successfully analyzes up to 60 additives, primarily plasticizers including 28 phthalates.
  • The approach utilizes a single sample preparation step alongside one GC-MS/MS method and two LC-MS/MS methods to ensure comprehensive quantification.
  • The method, validated on various beverages like tomato juice and spirits, shows excellent precision and low limits of quantification, making it suitable for regulatory enforcement and exposure assessments.

The West African liana is a rich source of structurally most diverse naphthylisoquinoline alkaloids. From its roots, a series of four novel representatives, named ancistrobrevolines A-D (14-17) have now been isolated, displaying an unprecedented heterocyclic ring system, where the usual isoquinoline entity is replaced by a ring-contracted isoindolinone part. Their constitutions were elucidated by 1D and 2D NMR and HR-ESI-MS.
