摘要
Steroid hormones are a type of crucial substances that mediate numerous vital physiological functions. The comprehensive detection of steroid hormones can help understand the physiopathologic mechanism of steroid hormone-related diseases. It is very difficult to determine steroid hormones in biological samples due to their low endogenous concentrations and poor ionization efficiency. In this study, an efficient and sensitive approach was developed for profiling steroid hormones by combining liquid-liquid extraction and parallel derivatization with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. Methoxyamine and dansyl chloride were used to derivatize steroid hormones containing carbonyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups, respectively. Our established method achieved simultaneous analysis of carbonyl and phenolic hydroxyl-containing steroid hormones and could cover estrogens, androgens, corticoids and progestogens. Twenty-nine steroid hormones were detected at pg/mL levels with the sensitivity enhanced by three orders of magnitude after derivatization. The linearity (with linear range of 2-4 orders of magnitude), precision (less than 15%) and recovery (71.1-128.7%) were satisfactory for quantitative analysis of steroid hormones. Finally, the established method was successfully employed to the determination of steroid hormones in serum samples of healthy males and females as well as ovarian cancer patients. The results showed that this approach was suitable and reliable for routine test of steroid hormones containing carbonyl and phenolic hydroxyl groups.
