PG - 15357-15366 LID - 10.1021/acs.analchem.3c03057 [doi] AB - Bile acids play key roles in nutrient uptake, inflammation, signaling, and microbiome composition. While previous bile acid analyses have primarily focused on profiling 5 canonical primary and secondary bile acids and their glycine and taurine amino acid-bile acid (AA-BA) conjugates, recent studies suggest that many other microbial conjugated bile acids (or MCBAs) exist. MCBAs are produced by the gut microbiota and serve as biomarkers, providing information about early disease onset and gut health. Here we analyzed 8 core bile acids synthetically conjugated with 22 proteinogenic and nonproteogenic amino acids totaling 176 MCBAs. Since many of the conjugates were isomeric and only 42 different m/z values resulted from the 176 MCBAs, a platform coupling liquid chromatography, ion mobility spectrometry, and mass spectrometry (LC-IMS-MS) was used for their separation. Their molecular characteristics were then used to create an in-house extended bile acid library for a combined total of 182 unique compounds. Additionally, approximately 250 rare bile acid extracts were also assessed to provide additional resources for bile acid profiling and identification. This library was then applied to healthy mice dosed with antibiotics and humans having fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to assess the MCBA presence and changes in the gut before and after each perturbation.
