Identification of the Main Intermediate Precursor of l-Ergothioneine Biosynthesis in Human Biological Specimens

A capillary electrophoresis coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (CE–MS/MS) has been used to make a qualitative determination of hercynine—the main precursor of l-ergothioneine biosynthesis—in some key human biological specimens, such as urine, whole blood, plasma, and saliva. From semiquantitative a...
