In the field of metabonomics, 1H NMR and full scan mass spectrometry methods have usually been combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA) to detect patterns in biofluids that correspond to specific effects, usually a toxic site effect of a compound. Confounders together with great interindividual variation complicate such analysis in humans, and therefore, metabonomic data are almost restricted to animals. In our study, a constant neutral loss (CNL) scan on a linear ion trap demonstrated increased sensitivity and specificity compared to a full scan approach and was performed to detect mercapturic acids (MA), a class of effect markers. The method was applied to human volunteers administered 50 and 500 mg of acetaminophen (AAP), a model compound known to form MAs. Using a new algorithm to prepare the CNL data for chemometrics, discrimination of control and postdose samples could be performed using PCA and PLS-DA. The loadings plots clearly revealed AAP-MA as a marker, even at low-dose levels. Orthogonal signal correction (OSC) was carried out to investigate background information that is not due to exposure. Surprisingly, the OSC data provided a classification of male and female subjects showing the performance of the new approach.
