    Abstract:
    A simple, rapid and efficient capillary electrophoresis-mass spectrometry (CE-MS) method was developed to analyze urinary nucleosides for the first time. The composition of CE buffer and MS parameters were systematically optimized. The optimum buffer was 150 mM acetic acid containing 15% methanol and 15% ethanol. The optimum MS parameters were: methanol containing 0.5% acetic acid was selected as the sheath liquid and the flow rate was 5 microL/min; the flow rate and temperature of drying gas were 6L/min and 150 degrees C, respectively; the pressure of nebulizing gas was 2 psig; and the fragmentor and ESI voltage were 100 V and 4000 V, respectively. Under the optimum CE-MS conditions, the urinary nucleosides were separated within 18 min. The linearity between the relative peak areas and the corresponding concentration of nine nucleosides markers were excellent. The limits of detection (S/N=3) of markers were 0.00862-3.82 nmol/mL. The optimum CE-MS method was applied to analyze urine from 20 bladder cancer patients and 20 healthy volunteers. Considering the standards of many nucleosides cannot be obtained, it is not the ratios of the concentrations of nucleosides to that of creatinine in the literatures, but the ratios of the relative peak area of nucleosides to the concentration of creatinine that used for pattern recognition. And, the statistical analysis result indicated this method was feasible.
