In order to develop a generic positive ionization ESI LC–MS method for a variety of interesting substance classes, a new derivatization strategy for carboxylic acids was developed. The carboxylic acid group is labeled with the bromine containing 4-APEBA reagent based on carbodiimide chemistry. The derivatization reaction can be carried out under aqueous conditions, thereby greatly simplifying sample preparation. In this paper, the derivatization of carboxylic acids is exemplified for the determination of prostanoids and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID). Optimization of the derivatization conditions was studied. In order to prove the applicability of the presented approach, we applied the described protocol to urine samples from complex regional pain syndrome (CRPS) patients and were able to detect several prostanoids not visible in the urine of healthy volunteers. Further, the determination of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug ibuprofen in a urine sample was possible.
