Introduction. The growing incidence of acute poisoning with fly agarics is becoming a serious medical and social problem. The capsules containing crushed dried raw materials of red fly agaric (Amanita muscaria (L.) Lam.) and/or panther fly agaric (Amanita pantherina (DC.) Krombh.) are most often found on trading platforms. The raw materials contain psychoactive compounds such as muscimol, ibotenic acid and 1-Methyl-2,3,4,9-tetrahydro-1H-beta-carboline-3-carboxylic acid, which are the reason for their recreational use. The development of methods for the qualitative detection of target substances in capsule extracts is of interest to modern toxicology, since chemical toxicological analysis (CTA) is an essential element of clinical laboratory diagnostics. Obtaining chromatograms and mass spectra of native molecules during capsule analysis will simplify the development of a method for analyzing biological fluids in the future for CTA.
The aim of the study is to develop a method for the qualitative analysis of capsules containing dried raw materials of red and panther mushrooms using liquid tandem chromatography-mass spectrometry.
Material and methods. Red and panther mushroom capsules from the Lesnoy Lekar online store (Russia) were taken as objects of study. Detection and identification of target substances in capsule extracts were carried out on a Nexera XR liquid chromatograph with an LCMS-8050 tandem mass spectrometer (Shimadzu, Japan) using Shim-pack FC-ODS, Shim-pack VP-ODS C8-Phenyl, Shim-pack GIST C18-Aqua HP columns, and a Shimadzu electronic library of mass spectra.
Results. It was found that the optimal method for isolating substances from capsules is methanol extraction and filtration using filter nozzles. Studies have shown that the use of the Shim-pack GIST C18-Aqua HP column and gradient elution mode allows achieving the best parameters for chromatographic separation of muscimol and muscarine.
Conclusions. A method has been developed for isolating muscarine and muscimol from capsules containing crushed dried raw materials of red and panther fly agaric and their qualitative detection using a Nexera XR modular liquid chromatograph with an LCMS-8050 tandem mass spectrometer (Shimadzu, Japan). The Shim-pack GIST C18-Aqua HP column (3 mm × 150 mm, 3 μm) (Shimadzu, Japan) is optimal for analyzing these highly polar hydrophilic toxicants. The following were determined in the methanol extract: muscarine – retention time 3.48 min, muscimol – 2.35 min (the spectrum of ion products had a convergence with the certified library of the device of more than 80%). The obtained data can be of value for clinical and analytical toxicology, and will be further used to develop methods for detecting toxicants in biological objects.
