DNA X-irradiated in oxygenated aqueous solution produces the formamido lesion from the breakdown of pyrimidine nucleosides. This pyrimidine breakdown product inhibits the hydrolysis by nuclease P1 of the phosphoester bond 3' to the damaged nucleoside. Consequently, the lesion can be obtained from an enzymatic digest of the DNA as a modified dinucleoside monophosphate in which the 5' nucleoside contains the lesion. In this form, the formamido lesion can be detected with good sensitivity by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS). Nucleosides that have lost the base moiety also inhibit nuclease P1. Together, the formamido and abasic lesions account for all of the substantial peaks in the LC-MS ion current profile.

In the present study, two most commonly used Perfluoroalkyl substances (PFASs), namely perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS), were determined in 45 tap water samples from the city of Isfahan (Iran) by dispersive liquid-liquid extraction (DLLME) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrophotometry (LC-MS) analysis. Risk assessment was also performed to determine the risk to human health. The mean concentration of PFOA was 38.

Introduction: Cephalosporins can trigger hypersensitivity reactions in certain individuals. Consequently, strict regulations restrict the production of non-beta-lactam substances during or after cephalosporin manufacturing. Dry chlorine dioxide gas (dClO), together with ultra-performance liquid chromatography Mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) detection methods, has emerged as a promising method for decontaminating cephalosporin compounds.

Kawasaki disease (KD) has emerged as the leading cause of acquired heart disease in children, primarily due to the absence of highly sensitive and specific biomarkers for early and accurate diagnosis. To address this issue, a simple and comprehensive targeted metabolomics method employing ultra high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with Q-TRAP mass spectrometry has been developed to identify new metabolite biomarkers for KD. This method enables the simultaneous quantification of 276 metabolites, covering 60 metabolic pathways, with a particular emphasis on metabolites relevant to KD.

Objective: This study investigated the potential anticancer properties of Myo-inositol on the DU-145 prostate cancer cell line.

Methods: The DU-145 cells have been treated to different doses of Myo-inositol in order to ascertain the half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) using the trypan blue exclusion assay. The impact of Myo-inositol on proteomic profiles was evaluated using 2D gel electrophoresis and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS).
