"The OXM peptides 1–37, 3–37 and 4–37 as well as their corresponding stable isotope-labeled internal standards (each containing one [ 13 C 9 , 15 N]-labeled phenylalanine and two [ 13 C 6 , 15 N]-labeled leucine residues) were synthesized by CPC Scientific, Inc."
Abstract
Background: A thorough understanding of the biological role of oxyntomodulin (OXM) has been limited by the availability of sensitive and specific analytical tools for reliable in vivo characterization. Here, we utilized immunoaffinity capture coupled with high-resolution accurate mass LC-MS detection to quantify OXM and its primary catabolites.
Results: Quantification of intact OXM 1-37 in human and rat plasma occurred in pre- and post-prandial samples. Profiles for the major catabolites were observed allowing kinetic differences to be assessed between species.
Conclusion: A validated assay in human and rat plasma was obtained for OXM 1-37 and its catabolites, 3-37 and 4-37. The value of full scan high-resolution accurate mass detection without selected reaction monitoring for low-abundance peptide quantification was also demonstrated.
Keywords: catabolites; high-resolution accurate mass MS; immunoaffinity enrichment; orbitrap; oxyntomodulin; quantification; validation.

9 generic fluorogenic substrates (CPC Scientific) (Figure S4) were added to the final concentration of 20 μM. Fluorescence was measured at Excitation/Emission=330/390 nm on BioTek Synergy H1 microplate reader and proteolytic activity was calculated as a change in relative fluorescence units per sec using the slope of the linear range for this signal.
