Abstract

Background: Global xenobiotic profiling (GXP) is to detect and structurally characterize all xenobiotics in biological samples using mainly liquid chromatography-high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS) based methods. GXP is highly needed in drug metabolism study, food safety testing, forensic chemical analysis, and exposome research. For detecting known or predictable xenobiotics, targeted LC-HRMS data processing methods based on molecular weights, mass defects and fragmentations of analytes are routinely employed. For profiling unknown xenobiotics, untargeted and LC-HRMS based metabolomics and background subtraction-based approaches are required.

Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of untargeted metabolomics and the precise and thorough background subtraction (PATBS) in GXP of rat plasma.

Methods: Rat plasma samples collected from an oral administration of nefazodone (NEF) or Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (Gancao, GC) were analyzed by LC-HRMS. NEF metabolites and GC components in rat plasma were thoroughly searched and characterized via processing LC-HRMS datasets using targeted and untargeted methods.

Results: PATBS detected 68 NEF metabolites and 63 GC components, while the metabolomic approach (MS-DIAL) found 67 NEF metabolites and 60 GC components in rat plasma. The two methods found 79 NEF metabolites and 80 GC components with 96% and 91% successful rates, respectively.

Conclusion: Metabolomics methods are capable of GXP and measuring alternations of endogenous metabolites in a group of biological samples, while PATBS is more suited for sensitive GXP of a single biological sample. A combination of metabolomics and PATBS approaches can generate better results in the untargeted profiling of unknown xenobiotics.

Keywords: Untargeted analysis, global profiling of xenobiotics, drug metabolites, LC-HRMS, background subtraction, PATBS, mass defect filter, metabolomics.
