Dopamine is a key neurotransmitter in the pathophysiology of various neurological disorders such as addiction or Parkinson's disease. Disturbances in its metabolism could lead to dopamine accumulation in the cytoplasm and an increased production of o-quinones and their derivatives, which have neurotoxic potential and act as precursors in neuromelanin synthesis. Thus, quantification of the dopaminergic metabolism is essential for monitoring changes that may contribute to disease development. Here, we developed and validated an UPLC-MS/MS method to detect and quantify a panel of eight dopaminergic metabolites, including the oxidation product aminochrome. Our method was validated in differentiated SH-SY5Y cells and mouse brain tissue and was then employed in brain samples from humans and rats to ensure method reliability in different matrices. Finally, to prove the biological relevance of our method, we determined metabolic changes in an in vitro cellular model of dopamine oxidation/neuromelanin production and in human postmortem samples from Parkinson's disease patients. The current study provides a validated method to simultaneously monitor possible alterations in dopamine degradation and o-quinone production pathways that can be applied to in vitro and in vivo experimental models of neurological disorders and human brain samples.
