2-hydrazino-1-methylpyridine: a highly sensitive derivatization reagent for oxosteroids in liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry.
A derivatization reagent, 2-hydrazino-1-methylpyridine, was developed for the liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-MS) of oxosteroids. The reagent quantitatively reacted with oxosteroids at 60 degrees C within 1h and the resulting derivatives of the mono-oxosteroids provided a 70-1600-fold higher sensitivity compared to intact steroids. However, HMP was unsuitable for di-oxosteroids, such as androstenedione and progesterone. The developed derivatization procedure was applied to the LC-ESI-MS analysis of 5alpha-dihydrotestosterone in human prostate, and allowed the reproducible quantification of nanogram/gram level of the androgen with a 10-mg sample.
