Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Marine Biology
  • Toxicology

Background:

  • Gonyautoxin group (GTX) compounds are marine biotoxins responsible for paralytic shellfish poisoning (PSP).
  • Accurate separation and detection of GTXs are crucial for food safety and public health.
  • Existing high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) methods often struggle with resolving GTXs from interfering substances.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a novel ion-pairing HPLC method for enhanced separation of GTXs.
  • To improve the performance of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) analysis of GTXs.
  • To provide a more robust method for detecting GTXs in toxic shellfish.

Main Methods:

  • Development of an ion-pairing HPLC method utilizing a C30 column and a volatile mobile phase.

  • Optimization of the mobile phase composition (5 mmol/L heptafluorobutyric acid, 2% acetonitrile, 10 mmol/L ammonium acetate).
  • Coupling the HPLC method with sonic spray ionization mass spectrometry (SSI-MS) for sensitive detection.

    • Main Results:

    • The new HPLC method efficiently separated GTXs from contaminants, particularly in short-necked clams.
    • Achieved superior resolution compared to routine HPLC methods, overcoming issues with interfering substances.
    • GTXs were eluted in a specific order (GTX5, GTX3, GTX4, GTX2, GTX1) and detected with high sensitivity by SSI-MS.

    Conclusions:

    • The developed ion-pairing HPLC-SSI-MS method offers a significant advancement for GTX analysis.
    • This method provides high sensitivity and resolution, crucial for accurate PSP toxin monitoring.
    • Combines fluorescence detection for PSP and SSI-MS for mass number determination, offering a comprehensive analytical approach.
