A novel caged Cookson-type reagent toward a practical vitamin D derivatization method for mass spectrometric analyses.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

25-Hydroxylated vitamin D is the best marker for vitamin D (VD). Due to its low ionization efficiency, a Cookson-type reagent, 1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (TAD), is used to improve the detection/quantification of VD metabolites by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). However, the high reactivity of TAD makes its solution stability low and inconvenient for practical use. We here describe the development of a novel caged Cookson-type reagent, and we assess its performances in the quantitative and differential detection of four VD metabolites in serum using LC/MS/MS.

Methods

Caged 4-(4'-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,2,4-triazoline-3,5-dione (DAPTAD) analogues were prepared from 4-(4'-dimethylaminophenyl)-1,2,4-triazolidine-3,5-dione. Their stability and
