Abstract:
Background: Accurate quantitative analysis of small molecule metabolites in biological samples is of great significance. Hydroxypolycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (OH-PAHs) are metabolic derivatives of emerging pollutants, reflecting exposure to polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs). Macromolecules such as proteins and enzymes in biological samples will interfere with the accurate quantification of OH-PAHs, making direct analysis impossible, requiring a series of complex treatments such as enzymatic hydrolysis. Therefore, the development of matrix-compatible fiber coatings that can exclude macromolecules is of great significance to improve the ability of solid-phase microextraction (SPME) technology to selectively quantify small molecules in complex matrices and achieve rapid and direct analysis. Results: We have developed an innovative coating with a stable macromolecular barrier using electrospinning and flexible filament winding (FW) technologies. This coating, referred to as the hollow fibrous covalent organic framework@polyionic liquid (F–COF@polyILs), demonstrates outstanding conductivity and stability. It accelerates the adsorption equilibrium time (25 min) for polar OH-PAHs through electrically enhanced solid-phase microextraction (EE-SPME) technology. Compared to the powder form, F–COF@polyILs coating displays effective non-selective large-size molecular sieving. Combining gas chromatography-tandem triple quadrupole mass spectrometry (GC-MS/MS), we have established a simple, efficient quantitative analysis method for OH-PAHs with a low detection limit (0.008–0.05 ng L−1), wide linear range (0.02–1000 ng L−1), and good repeatability (1.0%–7.3 %). Experimental results show that the coated fiber exhibits good resistance to matrix interference (2.5%–16.7 %) in complex biological matrices, and has been successfully used for OH-PAHs analysis in human urine and plasma. Significance: FW technology realizes the transformation of the traditional powder form of COF in SPME coating to a uniform non-powder coating, giving its ability to exclude large molecules in complex biological matrices. A method for quantitatively detecting OH-PAHs in real biological samples was also developed. Therefore, the filament winding preparation method for F–COF@polyILs coated fibers, along with fibrous COFs' morphology control, has substantial implications for efficiently extracting target compounds from complex matrices. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.
