A sensitive method for the purification and determination of two protein adducts, organophosphorus (OP)-BChE and OP-albumin adducts, in a single sample using a simultaneous sample preparation method was developed and validated using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. First, we isolated O-ethyl S-2-diisopropylaminoethyl methyl phosphonothiolate (VX) and O-pinacolyl methylphosphonofluoridate (soman, GD)-BChE adducts using an immunomagnetic separation (IMS) method and the HiTrap™ Blue affinity column was subsequently used to isolate and purify VX and GD-albumin adducts from the plasma of rhesus monkeys exposed to nerve agents. Additionally, we examined the time-concentration profiles of two biomarkers, VX and GD-nonapeptides and VX and GD-tyrosines, derived from OP-BChE and OP-albumin adducts up to 8 weeks after exposure. Based on the results, we determined that VX and GD-tyrosine is more suitable than VX and GD-nonapeptide as a biomarker owing to its longevity. This integrated approach is expected to be applicable for the quantification of other OP-BChE and OP-albumin adducts in human plasma, thus serving as a potential generic assay for exposure to nerve agents.
