A hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) method was developed for qualitative and quantitative analysis of ethanolamines (EAs), which are nitrogen mustard degradation products. With this method, the retention times of the highly hydrophilic EAs on the HILIC column were sufficient (retention times: methyl diethanolamine, 12.2 min; ethyl diethanolamine, 11.2 min; and triethanolamine, 9.5 min) and the EAs were analyzed more efficiently than with reported HILIC-MS/MS methods. The detection limits of methyl diethanolamine and ethyl diethanolamine in serum and urine using this approach were 15-20 ng/mL. The suitability of the method for real samples was evaluated via recovery tests involving urine and serum, and the method was validated. The MS/MS fragmentation of EAs was discussed based on density functional theory calculations. (C) 2019 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
