Analysis of extractables in rubber with pseudotargeted metabolomics method
Objective:To perform a comprehensive analysis of extractables in rubber by pseudotargeted metabolo-mics.Methods:The quality control(QC)solutions and test solutions were prepared by extracting the six kinds of rubbers with water,pH 2.6 phosphate buffer,pH 9.18 phosphate buffer,and 15%ethanol solution,respective-ly.The QC solutions were detected by LC-30A ultra performance liquid chromatography-Q TOF-9030 mass spectrometer in ESI+/ESI-mode.The mobile phases were 0.1%formic acid-water and 0.1%formic acid-acetonitrile/0.05%ammonium-water and 0.05%ammonium-5%water-methanol.The separation chromato-graphic column was Waters Acquity BEH C8/HSS T3.TOF MS and MS/MS DDA scanning modes were used to detect the QC solutions.The scan results of QC solution were processed with MSConvert and MRM-Ion_Pair_Finder software to obtain MRM parameters.The extracts were detected by ExionLC UPLC-Qtrap6500+mass spectrometer in ESI+/ESI-mode with the same mobile phase and column as before,and Scheduled-MRM scan mode was applied to detect the extracts.Results:The 1 399 unknown compounds and 116 known compounds were analyzed.By extraction solution,it was found that pH 9.18 phosphate buffer and 15%ethanol solution could extract more compounds,and 27 compounds with large differences in different extraction solutions were identified.By rubbers,the affinities of different rubbers were determined by 25 differences.Conclusion:In this study,the results of the extraction of six rubbers under four extracts are analyzed.There are differences between extracts un-der different extraction conditions.Analytical methods can be specifically developed for these key variables for quality control follow-up studies to ensure the stability and consistency of drug quality.The variables in different rubbers are also analyzed,which can be used to make a general class determination of unknown rubber samples.
