Development of an LC–Tandem Mass Spectrometry Method for the Quantitative Analysis of Hercynine in Human Whole Blood

Given that the peculiar redox behavior of ergothioneine involves a rapid regeneration process, the measurement of its precursor and redox metabolite hercynine could be particularly useful in assessing its role in oxidative stress or other biological processes. Thus, a LC-MS/MS method for the determi...
