Introduction
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is a versatile analytical tool
that has been used for decades to identify, quantitate, and structurally elucidate
molecules. Traditionally, as a requirement of any chemistry department, NMR
branched out into biophysical problems in the late 80s and early 90s with peptide/
protein structure/function studies (Alsiary et al., 2020; Cavanagh et al., 1995; Chu
et al., 2010; Marion, 2013; Wüthrich, 1986). NMR has several unique advantages
over related methods, including nondestructive and cumulative scanning, high
reproducibility, and being a nonbiased method. NMR spectroscopy can examine a
molecule at its atomic level, providing a potent tool to distinguish composition a
priori, kinetics, energetics, and otherwise difficult to elucidate structural isomers
(Dhahri et al., 2020). In contrast to other analytical tools commonly used in metabolomics studies such as GCMS (gas chromatographymass spectrometry)
(Emwas, Al-Talla et al., 2015; Zhang et al., 2017) and liquid chromatography
(LC)MS (Raji et al., 2013; Wu et al., 2021; Zhang et al., 2017), NMR does not
require structural and/or chemical manipulation, nor extra steps for sample preparation or metabolite isolation prior to measurement such as ionization and chemical derivatization (Emwas, 2015; Emwas, Salek et al., 2013). NMR is inherently
quantitative as each signal intensity is directly proportional to the atomic concentration of the originating resonance in the mixture or sample (Emwas et al.,

2016). Beside its major advantages (i.e., nondestructive and minimal sample preparation requirements), 1D-NMR, especially 1H NMR, is a relatively fast method
with a single sample acquisition taking typically seconds to minutes, therefore
hundreds of samples can be analyzed in a single day. It has been our experience
that careful, consistent sample thawing and preparation is the practical bottle
neck, not the instrument access time. The inclusion of cryogenically cooled NMR
probes and the related practical signal to noise increases of 34-fold (corresponding to a 916-fold decrease in experiment time) have made NMR data acquisition
even faster. Thus NMR is particularly useful in comparative studies that could
involve a high number of samples, for example, hepatitis studies involving hundreds of thousands of volunteers donating multiple biofluid samples on a daily
basis (Duarte et al., 2014; Sarfaraz et al., 2016; Wang et al., 2014; Zheng, Chen
et al., 2017).
NMR applications are not limited to samples in the liquid state; solid-state
NMR spectroscopy is also a well-established field (Alahmari et al., 2018;
Apperley et al., 2012; Ashbrook et al., 2018; Chisca et al., 2015; Mroue et al.,
2010; Renault et al., 2010; Separovic & Sani, 2020). Recently, tissue samples
including human, animal, plant and marine tissues have been studied using HRMAS (magic angle spinning) NMR approaches (Bunescu et al., 2010; Heude
et al., 2015; Kaebisch et al., 2017; Rocha et al., 2010; Taglienti et al., 2020).
One of the most important advantages of NMR-based metabolomics is that
liquid samples can be detected in mild/neutral conditions without the need for
sample alterations such as chemical modification or cleavage, pressure/vacuum,
or high-temperature conditions, and with only minimal preparation steps (e.g.,
typically an addition of a small amount of deuterated “lock” solvent and an internal reference standard with or without buffering capabilities) (Abdul Jameel
et al., 2021; Harris et al., 2007; Kijewska et al., 2021; Markley et al., 1998;
Mercier et al., 2011; Sheedy et al., 2010).
The inclusion of multidimensional NMR experiments, typically utilized to
provide atomic 3D coordination/neighbor/distance information on each atom,
can provide additional powerful insights (albeit at the cost of extra instrument
time). Taking advantage of the fact that NMR measurements are nondestructive,
one can record (and re-record) many NMR experiments on the same sample
over different periods of time, thus providing an influential platform for
enhanced signal to noise (i.e., adding experimental time together) and/or kinetic
studies where the spectra are recorded during the course of a reaction period.
This provides “real time” measurement and monitoring of sample status (e.g.,
stability), chemical reactions, and molecule interactions (e.g., protein/ligand
binding), to name a few.
As stated, one of the most important advantages of NMR-based metabolomics
is that samples can be detected in neutral or mild conditions usually without the
need for mechanical manipulation (e.g., sonication, heating/cooling, chemical
reaction/modification). This particular advantage allows NMR-based metabolomics studies to monitor metabolic flux for some micro-organisms, such as

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
NMR spectra can selectively observe isotopes of spin active (Keeler, 2011) single
atoms, that is, 1D NMR experiments with the most common being 1H, 13C, 31P
and 15N NMR. Popularity is due to natural abundance and magnetic susceptibility
increasing signal intensity. Moreover, inductive magnetic correlation between two
types of atoms can be routinely investigated through multidimensional experiments, for example, 2D NMR. While requiring much more instrument time
[despite recent time-saving advances (Aljuhani et al., 2019; Cui, Zhu et al., 2019;
Guennec et al., 2014; Qiu et al., 2019)], multidimensional experiments can
resolve spectral overlap and/or atomic ambiguity (Cui, Zhu et al., 2019; Féraud
et al., 2020; Le Guennec et al., 2015; Mattar et al., 2004). In this section, the
most common metabolomics-relevant 1D NMR as well as 2D NMR experiments
will be reviewed.
1D nuclear magnetic resonance
1D NMR is concerned with determining the resonant frequencies of a single type
of NMR-active nucleus (i.e., 1H, 13C, 15N, etc.) that depend on the chemical environment around the nuclei. In short, 1D NMR has properties that enable researchers to determine:
1.the type of molecule involved (i.e., aromatics, aliphatics, amino acids, etc.)
in an experiment;
2.how the atoms are connected to each other.
These two properties of 1D NMR form the backbone for metabolomics
research, and we proceed to describe the use and application of 1D NMR experiments to metabolomics according to the most common types of nuclei involved in
metabolomics studies. The nuclei discussed (in order) are 1H, 13C, 15N, 31P, and
19
F.
1D 1H nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Simple one-dimensional 1H NMR spectroscopy is the most common approach in
metabolomics studies and consists of an excitation “pulse” (e.g., micro-seconds)
with an acquisition period (seconds). If the experiment is to be repeated (e.g., to
improve signal to noise), then an interscan delay (seconds) is required to reestablish equilibrium prior to the subsequent scan. The short experimental time
(e.g., a few minutes) with minimal sample preparation offers a high-throughput
method appropriate for metabolomics studies seeking statistical confirmation.

CHAPTER 5 Nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
Studies in metabolomics generally fall into one of three categories (Sahoo et al.,
2020):

s0030
p0090
1. metabolic profiling
2. metabolic fingerprinting
3. metabonomics, that is, a quantitative study over time of the metabolic
response to stimuli (Holmes et al., 2008)
It is important to clarify our definition of metabonomics as the literature has
been somewhat confusing, with “metabolomics” and “metabonomics” often used
interchangeably and/or for slightly different interpretations. Regardless, NMR
spectroscopy can easily be applied to metabolomic studies falling into any one of
these three categories due to the ease of application (Fan & Lane, 2016; Kanwal
et al., 2020), versatility (Agrawal, 2020), reproducibility, and important nondestructive nature (Viola et al., 2006) allowing a sample to be studied and analyzed
numerous times. Sample stability becomes the limiting factor (Sykes, 2007).
NMR spectroscopy (often advantageously coupled with MS) remains a method
of choice, even when considering the benefits that the sole use of MS may provide. Indeed, NMR and MS are often combined in metabolomics studies (Abd
Ghafar et al., 2020; Laserna et al., 2020; Nizioł et al., 2020; Tayyari et al., 2013;
Vassilev et al., 2020) for their mutually complementary benefits in both identifying and analyzing metabolites (Bhinderwala, Wase et al., 2018). However, in this
book chapter we will focus on the role of NMR in metabolomics and we will discuss the roles of NMR-detectable nuclei (1D and 2D experiments) in the field of
Metabolomics. Strengths and weaknesses of some nuclei for 1D NMR spectroscopy are listed in Table 5.1. Examples of each of the nuclei and their respective
metabolomics studies are listed in Table 5.2.

H 1D nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomic studies
A basic 1D 1H NMR experiment (i.e., delay-solvent suppression-excitation
pulse-acquire) is by far the most commonly used NMR experiment in metabolomics (Chandra et al., 2021). This type of experiment can be applied to any NMR
active nuclei (Gallo et al., 2019; Zhang et al., 2020). The 1H nucleus has the highest relative receptivity (Sanders & Hunter, 1993) (aside from the 3H nucleus,
which has an extremely low natural abundance therefore making absolute receptivity impractical) and the highest natural abundance at 99.99%. These properties
make obtaining a 1H NMR spectrum of any liquid sample (e.g., urine, blood
plasma) relatively rapid, and simple to acquire, process, and analyze. A typical
1D 1H NMR experiment usually takes only a few minutes with less frequent cases
taking hours. Hydrogen atoms in the spectrometer will induce resonances (i.e.,
peaks) at distinct frequencies based on their different magnetic/chemical environments (e.g., aliphatic, aromatic, hydrophilic, distance to functional groups,
exchangeable/exposed neighbors, etc.). Furthermore, the signal intensity (integrated area) is directly proportional to the quantity of nuclei in a molecule, and

sequestering agent
36 metabolites in both groups were identified, with
creatine, glycine, serine, dimethylamine,
trimethylamine N-oxide, α-hydroxyisobutyrate,
mannitol, glutamine, cis-aconitate, and trigonelline
showing the highest levels of sensitivity and
specificity for differentiating breast cancer patients
from healthy individuals
VSL#3 treatment-dependent urinary metabolites
involved in amino-acid metabolism, nucleic acid
degradation, and creatine metabolism of children
with NAFLD may be considered non-invasive and
effective biomarkers to evaluate their response to
treatment.

with the energy and amino acid metabolism; Deglet
seeds could serve as food with anti-inflammatory

The differences between the metabolic profiles of
the urine of ASD patients and normal, healthy

therefore can be used to determine the molecular concentration (Cui, Liew et al.,
2019; Emwas, Roy et al., 2019).
Owing to these properties of qualification and quantitation, a single 1H NMR
spectrum can often provide enough information to readily identify and elucidate
the proportions of anywhere between 30 and 200 metabolites (Bouatra et al.,
2013; Emwas, Roy et al., 2019) depending on the nature of the studied sample
(biofluids, species, etc.) (Holmes et al., 2008; Li et al., 2017; Tarachiwin et al.,
2007; Wei et al., 2009; Yilmaz et al., 2017).
Metabolite identification is usually augmented by tools such as freely available
software programs, for example, CAMERA and MetaboMiner (Spicer et al., 2017),
commercial software, for example, Chenomx Inc. (Weljie et al., 2006), Mestrelab’s
Mnova (Mestrelab Research S.L.—Analytical Chemistry Software, 2021), and
CRAFT (KCmurthy, 2013), and/or a database such as the Human Metabolome
Database (HMDB) (Wishart et al., 2007, 2009, 2018). These tools facilitate metabolite identification from the raw NMR data and assist in organizing/presenting
results.
1D 1H NMR experiments are typically used in untargeted metabolomics studies (Blasco et al., 2014; Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Flores et al., 2020; Hasanpour
et al., 2020; Karaman et al., 2016; Lee et al., 2019; Luke et al., 2020; MadridGambin et al., 2018; Silva et al., 2019; Stringer et al., 2014) as opposed to targeted metabolomic studies. “Untargeted” simply means that all the measurable
analytes, including chemical unknowns, undergo a full comprehensive analysis
including advanced chemometric techniques (e.g., multivariate analysis). This is
necessary to eliminate possible outliers and to make the dataset(s) easier to manage (Roberts et al., 2012). “Targeted” metabolomics refers to the measurement of
only defined groups of characterized and annotated metabolites (Roberts et al.,
2012).
1D 1H NMR has a marvelous ability to discriminate (i.e., reveal the differences between) metabolic profiles and quantify their respective metabolites.
Fig. 5.1, for example, shows a 1D 1H NMR spectrum that distinguishes between
major nutrients and metabolites of a culture of Aspergillus fumigatus, according
to their individual peak assignments. The abilities of 1D 1H NMR to identify and
quantify metabolites are perhaps the single greatest advantages 1D 1H NMR can
offer to the field of metabolomics, and arise from the relatively high sensitivity
and highly quantifiable nature (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019) of the 1H nucleus.
Representative cases that demonstrate the sensitivity and quantifiability of 1D 1H
NMR are discussed (see below). Some representative additional studies that use
1D 1H NMR are discussed (see below). Moreover, other studies in which 1D 1H
NMR has been involved (with or without additional techniques) are listed in
Table 5.2.

so, they took urine samples from 38 healthy controls (HCs), and 40 breast cancer
patients, and analyzed the 1D 1H NMR spectra of the samples. These spectra
enabled the rapid identification of 33 metabolites in both study groups. Further
multivariate statistical analysis allowed the identification of ten key metabolites
(creatine,
glycine,
serine,
dimethylamine,
trimethylamine
N-oxide,
α-hydroxyisobutyrate, mannitol, glutamine, cis-aconitate, and trigonelline), which
showed the highest sensitivity levels and specificity between both study groups
(HCs and breast cancer patients); these metabolites could therefore be useful in
the diagnosis of breast cancer as they successfully discriminate the urinary profiles of breast cancer patients from those of HCs (Silva et al., 2019). This study is
an excellent example of the potential of untargeted 1D 1H NMR-based
metabolomics.
A similar approach was taken by Rocha et al. (2011). In their subsequent
study of lung cancer involving blood plasma samples from 85 lung cancer
patients (55 males, 30 females) and 78 HCs (38 male, 40 female), the authors successfully identified 36 metabolites. Increased levels of pyruvate, lactate,

CHAPTER 5 Nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
VLDL 1 LDL were observed, along with decreased levels of glucose, citrate, formate, acetate, several amino acids (alanine, glutamine, histidine, tyrosine, valine),
methanol, and HDL. These changes could be linked to known characteristics of
cancer such as increased glycolysis, glutaminolysis, and gluconeogenesis, a suppressed Krebs cycle, and a decreased catabolism of lipids. Blood plasma samples
were taken from a diverse population of lung cancer patients {i.e., male and
female, varying histopathology, different TNM stages [tumor (T), nodes (N), and
metastases (M)]} and HCs (i.e., smokers and nonsmokers, male and female).
Despite the variation and diversity among the samples from the lung cancer
patients, 1D 1H NMR metabolomics consistently discriminated the metabolic profiles of blood plasma samples of lung cancer patients from those of HCs (Rocha
et al., 2011).
An earlier study by Jordan et al. (2010) also involved 1D 1H NMR to distinguish lung cancer patients from HCs. Though they took fewer serum samples
(total 5 21) from a smaller, less diverse population of subjects [lung cancer
patients with either squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) or adenocarcinoma (AC),
and HCs] than Rocha et al. (2011), they nonetheless demonstrated the potential of
serum NMR metabolomics to discriminate between the two lung cancer types
(SCC or AC), as well as between cancer patients and HCs. Although the Jordan
study was more limited and less robust than the Rocha study (Rocha et al., 2011),
both illustrate the ability of 1D 1H NMR to differentiate the metabolic profiles of
diseased patients from those of HCs, and provided preliminary evidence for 1D
1
H NMR-based metabolomics becoming a key method for disease diagnosis. This
method may be especially critical in the earlier stages of the disease.
1D 1H NMR has also been used to identify and quantify metabolites specific
to patients with psychiatric disorders (Sethi et al., 2017; Tasic et al., 2017;
Yilmaz et al., 2017). Samples were taken from over 100 individuals [60 HCs, 50
schizophrenia (SCZ) patients, and 45 patients with bipolar disorder (BD)], with
the intent to find metabolites that distinguish the three study groups (HC, SCZ,
BD) from each other. 1D 1H NMR spectra allowed Tasic et al. (2019) to identify
and quantify metabolites specific to each study group; for example, SCZ patients
had a unique presence of isovaleryl carnitine, pantothenate, mannitol, glycine,
and GABA, whereas BD patients had 2,3-diphospho-D-glyceric acid, N-acetyl
aspartyl-glutamic acid, and monoethyl malonate. SCZ and BD patients both possessed 6-hydroxydopamine, while HC individuals did not. Higher lipid levels
were also observed in SCZ and BD as compared to HC individuals (Tasic et al.,
2019). Taken together, this approach may support the diagnosis of patients with
psychiatric diseases such as SCZ and BD, and the studies lay the foundation for
more robust and reliable diagnosis of psychiatric diseases.
Despite several advantages and successes of 1D 1H NMR in metabolomics,
this technique does have drawbacks. The high sensitivity of the 1H nucleus may
cause an “information overload.” The presence of several hundred metabolites in
the analyte, each with several NMR signals, may cause severe NMR spectral
overlap. Thus NMR is a “double-edged sword” for metabolomics: it provides a

wealth of information that can enable the identification of many metabolites but,
at the same time, cripples the identification of individual molecule types.
Fortunately, the effect of spectral overlap can be mitigated and overcome
with the use of 2D NMR techniques such as Heteronuclear Single Quantum
Coherence (HSQC), Heteronuclear Multiple Bond Correlations (HMBC), and
COSY. 2D NMR techniques usually provide enough resolution and resolving
power to overcome the problem of peak overlap, and to reveal the connectivity
of atoms in greater detail. 2D NMR techniques are also used to confirm the
chemical shifts assignments of 1D 1H NMR spectra. 2D NMR techniques may
be used in addition to 1D 1H NMR experiments (Beckonert et al., 2007; Cao
et al., 2020; Feraud et al., 2019) (also see Table 5.2) even if the latter provides
enough information to identify the metabolites. Adding information from additional nuclei and/or multidimensional correlation experiments (e.g., 1 H-13C)
comes at the price of extended instrument time (Van et al., 2008) because
another variable (i.e., and additional nucleus) is involved (Cavanagh et al.,
1995; Claridge, 2016).
For example, Jiang et al. (2013) studied the metabolic changes occurring in
plasma, urine and liver extracts from hamsters fed a high-fat/high-cholesterol diet
using a 1D 1H NMR-based approach. Even though over 100 metabolites were
identified from just the 1H spectra of the samples, additional 2D NMR experiments (1H,1H-TOCSY and 1H,13C-HSQC) were performed to confirm the assignments (Jiang et al., 2013).
In 2010, Jung et al. also used a 2D NMR technique in addition to 1D 1H
NMR to determine the geographical origin of beef samples (Jung et al., 2010).
From 1H NMR spectra, they identified 25 metabolites. Overlapping signals from
a few metabolites were resolved with 2D NMR techniques (1H,1H-TOCSY,
1 13
H, C-HMBC, and 1H,13C-HSQC), and the 2D NMR techniques were also used
to validate the metabolites identified from the 1D spectra (Jung et al., 2010).
Clearly, using 2D NMR techniques to aid 1D 1H NMR chemical assignment
and to resolve peak overlap could be a standard in metabolomics studies
(Martineau & Giraudeau, 2019), however 2D NMR techniques are not common
because they take longer to perform (hours to days) (Emwas, Alghrably et al.,
2019; Emwas, Roy et al., 2019), and take more experience to process and
interpret.
1D 1H NMR also suffers from the effects of solvent and/or attempts at suppression. Signals from the solvent may completely cover signals from metabolites. The concentration of 1H in pure water (H2O) is B110 mol L21, which is
significantly higher than the concentration of metabolites (nMmM) in the water
solution (for example). As most metabolomics studies are carried out in water
(Emwas, Roy et al., 2019), solvent suppression becomes mandatory, either by
attempting to deuterate the solvent (i.e., replace H2O with highly pure D2O), and/
or by applying an NMR pulse sequence. Much work has gone into overcoming
the effects of solvent suppression and the results can be seen in Giraudeau et al.
(2015), McKay (2009), and Mckay (2011).

C nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomic studies
In terms of inherent resolution and reduced spectral overlap, 1D 13C NMR is far
superior to 1D 1H NMR. 13C NMR has a much broader observed chemical shift
range (B200 ppm) than that of 1H (B10 ppm) (Edison et al., 2019), and therefore
offers better resolution than 1D 1H NMR. This leads to higher quality spectra
with narrow line width peaks (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019), and facilitates the identification of organic functional groups (i.e., aromatics, aliphatics, and carbonylcontaining compounds). This is especially true for metabolites and most organic
molecules containing a carbon backbone. Hence, 1D 13C NMR provides a direct
way to measure the primary structures of many metabolites (Clendinen et al.,
2014). Furthermore, 1D 13C NMR signals are less sensitive to environmental
changes such as pH (Edison et al., 2019), unlike the 1D 1H NMR peak frequencies, which are more sensitive to changes in pH (Dona et al., 2016; Tredwell
et al., 2016; Tynkkynen et al., 2009). The lack of 13C to 13C homonuclear coupling at natural abundance also makes 13C spectra easier to interpret (Edison
et al., 2019).
While these advantages may seem to make 13C spectra an obvious first choice,
1D 13C NMR suffers from inherently low sensitivity. The 13C isotope is 62 times
(cube of the gyromagnetic ratio difference) less sensitive than the 1H nucleus, and
the natural abundance of 13C is far lower (99.99% for 1H, B1.1% for 13C). The
absolute receptivity difference is more than 5717-fold. This inherently low sensitivity of the 13C nucleus, combined with its low natural abundance, significantly
impedes its use in metabolomics studies. There are several avenues to overcome
this weakness. Metabolites can be isotopically enriched with 13C nuclei; the most
straightforward approach to overcoming the low natural abundance (Clendinen
et al., 2015). This approach is most beneficial to 2D correlation-based NMR techniques (e.g., INADEQUATE, HSQC, and HMBC) that involve the 13C nucleus
(Clendinen et al., 2015; Geier et al., 2019; Lewis et al., 2010; Otto et al., 2015;
Pan et al., 2016). Isotopic enrichment (often termed labeling) is usually accomplished by feeding the organism of interest (e.g., bacteria) with 13C-enriched
nutrients (e.g., U-13C6 glucose, or fully labeled maximal media) (Malloy et al.,
2010).
A new indirect and useful method to detect 13C at low and/or natural abundance concentrations involves hyperpolarization or a variant of such.
Hyperpolarization implies transferring the nuclear spins of a sensitive nucleus
(such as 1H) to a less sensitive nucleus (such as 13C) (Emwas et al., 2008; Hill
et al., 2018; Kovtunov et al., 2018; Ludwig et al., 2010), thus increasing the overall sensitivity of the less sensitive nuclei, often by a theoretical factor of 104105
(Altes & Salerno, 2004), although practical applications rarely achieve this ideal
factor.
This in turn can reduce a standard 1D 13C NMR experiment from several
hours to several minutes, an acquisition time comparable to that of the standard
1D 1H NMR experiment (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019). As mentioned, this

theoretical enhancement is rarely fully achieved. Hyperpolarization is, however,
still used to enhance the readability of 13C at natural abundance (B1.1%), especially for in vivo metabolic imaging in which the hyperpolarized metabolite and
its concentration can be tracked in real-time (Walker & Happer, 1997; Wang
et al., 2019). Methods to hyperpolarize 13C metabolites include PHIP
(Parahydrogen Induced Polarization), SABRE (Signal Amplification by
Reversible Exchange), and DNP (Dynamic Nuclear Polarization). It must be noted
that hyperpolarization methods are invasive, and this must be taken into account
when considering subsequent sample testing. Applications of each technique are
discussed below, and more applications are listed in Table 5.2.
Zacharias et al. (2016) employed PHIP to hyperpolarize 13C labeled succinate
(SUC) and its derivative diethyl succinate (DES). This allowed the authors to
monitor the uptake and cellular conversion (or lack thereof) of SUC and DES in
five cancer allograft animal models: breast (4T1), Renal Cell Carcinoma
(RENCA), colon (CT26), lymphoma NSO, and lymphoma A20 via 13C Mrs and
MRI (both essentially inductive magnetic resonance techniques similar to NMR).
They found that RENCA metabolized SUC and DES, while the other cancers did
not (Zacharias et al., 2016). In a related study, Zacharias et al. (2012) created
hyperpolarized DES-113C-2,3-d2 (via the PHIP method) to monitor the Krebs
cycle in real-time. Downstream metabolites (malate, succinate, fumarate, and
aspartate) of hyperpolarized DES were identified in vivo via high resolution 1D
13
C NMR spectra. Both studies serve as powerful indicators of the large capacity
of 13C NMR (with 13C molecules metabolites hyperpolarized via PHIP) to track
metabolites related to diseases such as cancer in real-time. This could have enormous applications in the health and pharmaceutical industries.
Similar to PHIP, SABRE is another hyperpolarization technique to increase
the sensitivity of 13C nuclei. In a novel study involving a low concentration 4methylpyridine [4MP, a metabolite involved in bacteria metabolism (Khasaeva
et al., 2016)], Richardson et al. (2018) used the SABRE technique to enhance
their 13C NMR signal of 4-methylpyridine (4MP). Without SABRE, the total time
required to collect the13C signal of 4MP was 52 hours (4096 cumulative scans).
With SABRE, the same experiment took only 15 seconds (i.e., 1 scan). The concentration of 4-MP for both experiments was in the millimolar range, and both
experiments were performed on a benchtop NMR spectrometer (BNMR) with a
low field strength (Richardson et al., 2018). Clearly, SABRE is a powerful tool to
increase 13C sensitivity, and to significantly reduce total experimental time for
metabolite measurements.
An interesting case study of SABRE comes from the work of Lloyd et al.
(2012). Using para-hydrogen as the polarization source, they hyperpolarized quinoline, a metabolite mostly found in plants (Diaz et al., 2015). Of note, the 13C
spectrum of the quinoline molecule typically shows good resolution and a large
peak distribution. 1D and 2D NMR techniques were performed with the SABRE
technique and resulted in high resolution NMR spectra. The time to record these
experiments was reduced significantly from several hours to several minutes, and

CHAPTER 5 Nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
it is important to note that all quinolone samples had low concentrations (µM—
mM) (Lloyd et al., 2012); this study therefore establishes the mighty potential of
hyperpolarization in metabolomics studies.
Although PHIP and SABRE are prime hyperpolarization techniques with enormous potential for metabolomics applications, DNP is much more common in the
scientific literature than either PHIP or SABRE. Indeed, a number of key metabolites (113C-pyruvic acid, 13C-bicarbonate, 113C-fumarate, and 513C-glutamine)
have been successfully hyperpolarized via DNP. These metabolites, however, were
already isotopically enriched with 13C (Nikolaou et al., 2015). DNP however still
works effectively for 1D 13C NMR experiments at natural 13C abundance.
An excellent example of using DNP at natural 13C abundance comes from the
work of Dey et al. (2020). They utilized DNP to hyperpolarize plant metabolites
of red and green tomato plant extract. This made it possible to collect clean and
well-resolved 1D 13C NMR spectra (1 scan each) from both sets of plant extracts
(red tomato vs. green tomato). Additional statistical analysis of 13C NMR data
was able to distinguish between both sets of plant extracts (Dey et al., 2020). This
study effectively showed that DNP worked well to hyperpolarize and enhance the
sensitivity of 13C NMR at natural abundance. It also demonstrates that DNP is
suitable for distinguishing metabolic profiles of similar species.
DEPT (distortions enhancement by polarization transfer) NMR is also a useful
technique in NMR metabolomics that shows how other nuclei are coupled to the
carbon nucleus. DEPT is used to distinguish between a CH3 group (methyl), a
CH2 group (methylene), and a CH group (methine). DEPT has a pulse set at 45,
90, or 135 degrees in three separate experiments. DEPT can increase the sensitivity of 13C by a factor of 4, and is therefore useful in metabolomics studies.
For example, Kamal et al. (2012), found four bioactive metabolites from a culture medium of a bacterial strain of a new Pseudomonas sp. that had antimicrobial and biosurfactant activities, and used DEPT-135 (along with other NMR
methods) to identify the metabolites as 1-hydroxyphenazine, phenazine-1carboxylic acid, rhamnolipid-1, and rhamnolipid-2. Li et al. (2019) used DEPT as
part of their proposal to statistically correlate NMR spectra with LCMS data,
facilitating metabolite structure identification.
Hyperpolarization techniques do suffer from some limitations, one being that
sample or NMR probe deterioration can occur as a result of the irradiation pulses
that are required for hyperpolarization techniques to work (Richardson et al.,
2018). A brief summary of the advantages and disadvantages of the hyperpolarization techniques presented here (PHIP, SABRE, and DNP) is provided in
Table 5.2. More studies involving hyperpolarized 13C metabolites are listed in
Table 5.2. For those desiring a deeper level of theory regarding hyperpolarization
methods and how they work, they are referred to the following published manuscripts (Barskiy et al., 2017; Halse, 2016; Kovtunov et al., 2018; Meier et al.,
2014; Nikolaou et al., 2015).
Aside from isotopic enrichment and the application of hyperpolarization techniques, another practical approach to improving 13C sensitivity for 1D 13C NMR

Nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
experiments involves the use of enhanced NMR equipment. For example, NMR
cryoprobe technology can be used in the probe and electronics. This involves
reducing the temperature of the equipment down to B20K as a way to reduce
electronic noise, and results in a two to fourfold improvement in signal to noise
(Emwas, Roy et al., 2019). One can also use higher magnetic field strengths, but
13
C (and other lower gyromagnetic ratio nuclei) is relatively insensitive to the
magnetic field strength (Halse, 2016).

1D 15N nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
As with 13C NMR, 15N also has a large chemical shift dispersion (B100 ppm)
(Emwas, Roy et al., 2019) allowing for improved resolution and identification of
nitrogen-containing compounds. 15N however has a low natural abundance
(B0.37%, even lower than that of 13C), and an even lower sensitivity than that of
13
C. Direct observation of 15N nuclei using a standard 1D 15N NMR experiment
is difficult and time consuming unless steps are taken to mitigate the physical features. A number of important metabolites, for example, amino acids, alkaloids,
purines, pyrimidines, and terpenoids (Ramirez et al., 2019; Song et al., 2020) contain nitrogen, and the ability to study these atoms can provide a more complete
picture of the metabolome (Bhinderwala, Lonergan et al., 2018; Kanamori, 2017).
Chemically tagging metabolites with an 15N labeled compound is one way to
increase the sensitivity, and this has been demonstrated successfully by Tayyari
et al. (2013) and Ye et al. (2009). Chemically tagging metabolites with 15N
labeled atoms is mostly beneficial to 2D 15N-NMR techniques and is rarely, if
ever, applied to 1D 15N NMR due to cost and synthesis/expression considerations.
Direct observation of 15N containing metabolites is mostly done with hyperpolarization techniques (similar for 13C), as hyperpolarization can significantly
improve the sensitivity and observability of 15N containing metabolites. In fact,
hyperpolarization seems to be the method of choice for 1D 15N NMR when it
comes to metabolomics.
Barskiy et al. (2016), for example, used SABRE-SHEATH (SABRE in SHield
Enables Alignment Transfer to Heteronuclei) to directly hyperpolarize the 15N
sites of metronidazole, a precursor of two major oxidative products, an acid
metabolite and a hydroxy metabolite (Pendland et al., 1994). By using SABRESHEATH, the authors were able to hyperpolarize the 15N nuclei in metronidazole
to over 20% in less than one minute, thus increasing the sensitivity of 15N in metronidazole and its observability via 1D 15N NMR at low concentration (50 mM)
in a short amount of time (Kanamori, 2017). An increase in metronidazole nitrogen sensitivity could have useful applications such as direct in vivo imaging of
mechanisms of action or hypoxia sensing, as metronidazole is an antimicrobial
drug against species such as Entamoeba histolytica, Giardia lamblia, and
Trichomonas vaginalis (Freeman et al., 1997). A similar study by Shchepin et al.
(2019) also examined the effects of hyperpolarizing metronidazole via SABRESHEATH. During the process, they were able to transfer the hyperpolarization of
iridium hydrides to a distance of up to six chemical bonds. The polarization level

of metronidazole achieved by Shchepin et al. (B15%) (Shchepin et al., 2019)
was smaller than that achieved by Barskiy et al. (B20%) (Barskiy et al., 2016),
and yet both groups of researchers achieved their respective levels of metronidazole hyperpolarization in under one minute. These two studies demonstrate the
potential of hyperpolarization-based techniques to increase the observability of
1D 15N NMR spectra of 15N containing metabolites, which could also eventually
transform 1D 15N NMR into a live, real-time metabolic imaging tool.
Hyperpolarization could also enable the molecular imaging of viruses, as demonstrated in the study by Shchepin et al. (Shchepin & Chekmenev, 2014). They
measured the T1 relaxation times of hyperpolarized 15N labeled Azidothymidine
(AZT), an antiretroviral medication used to prevent and treat HIV/AIDS
(Eckhardt et al., 2017). In 2014, they also determined that NMR T1 relaxation
times were sufficiently long to allow in vivo imaging of 15N-AZT and its relevant
kinetics after injection into an HIV-infected patient. Strictly speaking, Shchepin
et al. did not generate 1D 15N NMR spectra of 15N-AZT; nevertheless, the long
T1 times measured indicated that the 1D 15N NMR spectra of hyperpolarized 15NAZT would be of higher quality than those of nonpolarized 15N AZT. This study
thus points to the potential of hyperpolarized 15N-containing molecules and metabolites in analyzing and monitoring the “metabolism” of viruses or even viruslike particles.
Additional examples of hyperpolarized 15N NMR experiments are listed in
Table 5.2. We hope the readers agree that hyperpolarization of 15N containing
metabolites is valuable, and perhaps crucial for future metabolomics applications.

P nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomic studies
1D 31P NMR has a unique niche for structural elucidation and metabolomics studies (Babgi et al., 2021; Tomah Al-Masri et al., 2012). Phosphate metabolism is
quite diverse across different living systems and organs (e.g., liver, muscle tissues,
and kidney) (Felsenfeld & Levine, 2015; Gattineni & Friedman, 2015; Moe &
Daoud, 2014; Quinn, 2012; Silver et al., 2002; Tebben et al., 2013; Uday et al.,
2019) and several phosphorus-containing metabolites [especially those that transport the inorganic phosphate group (Bhinderwala et al., 2020)] are vital
intermediaries and regulators of essential biochemical pathways, including glycolysis (Berg et al., 2002), the Krebs cycle (Enderle, 2012), and fatty acid β-oxidation
(Bosc et al., 2020). As such, 1D 31P NMR is a powerful method to study metabolic
profiles, and to expand the coverage of the metabolome (Bhinderwala et al., 2020).
31
P has a high natural abundance (100%), and a relatively good sensitivity (lower
than that of 1H, but higher than those of 13C or 15N), and 31P NMR does not usually
require an external supplemental source (Bhinderwala et al., 2020).
Despite these advantages, 31P NMR suffers from severe drawbacks (listed in
Table 5.1) which have limited its applicability in metabolomics (Emwas, Roy
et al., 2019). The 31P nucleus is extremely sensitive to pH changes (Blaive et al.,
2000; Zheng, Liu et al., 2017), solvent selection, and the experimental temperature. 31P resonances also have a limited chemical shift which dispersion tends to

be broad and causes obscured peak splitting (Bhinderwala et al., 2020). 1D 31P
NMR also experiences signal overlap from phosphorylated compounds (Markley
et al., 2017).
1D 31P reference NMR spectra are generally lacking in databases such as the
HMDB, which further limits the use of 31P NMR in metabolomics applications
(Bhinderwala et al., 2020). However, the scientific literature contains a plethora of
31
P NMR studies applied to metabolomics (Buchli et al., 1994; Cady et al., 1983;
Carlbom et al., 2017; Chorao et al., 2010; Gout et al., 2011; Komoroski et al.,
2008; Levine et al., 2003; Park & Park, 2001; Qiao et al., 2006; Shah et al., 2014;
Sterin et al., 2001; Thebault et al., 2009; Tiret et al., 2016; Tokumaru et al., 2009;
Vauclare et al., 2013; Wijnen et al., 2012). Many studies have employed 1D 31P
NMR as an in vivo metabolic imaging technique. A couple of examples demonstrating the use of 1D 31P NMR in metabolomics are discussed below. Additional
examples of 1D 31P NMR in metabolomics are listed in Table 5.2.
Sterin et al. (2001) used 31P spectra to test the effects of antimitotic drugs on
breast cancer cell metabolism. Analysis of observations revealed a correlation
between the mechanism of action of selected anticancer drugs (i.e., paclitaxel,
vincristine, colchicine, nocodazole, methotrexate, and doxorubicin), and observed
differences in breast cancer cell metabolism [i.e., hormonal response, estrogen
receptors (positive/negative), and metastatic potential]. Specifically, Sterin et al.
discovered that the antimicrotubule drugs (paclitaxel, vincristine, colchicine, and
nocodazole) increased the amount of intracellular glycerophosphorylcholine
(GPC), an intracellular metabolite, whereas the nonantimicrotubule drugs (methotrexate and Adriamycin) did not. These results suggest that the level of intracellular GPC is indicative of cellular microtubule functionality (Sterin et al., 2001),
and demonstrate that 31P NMR has the ability and potential to determine the
effects of drugs on the target of interest. This could also extend beyond cancer
cells to targets such as proteins.
Levine et al. (2003) showed that 31P NMR can be extended to other living systems such as fish. They used 1D 31P NMR to assess how adding acetyl-L-carnitine
(ALCAR) and myo-inositol influenced the levels of phosphate-containing metabolites in zebrafish. Zebrafish present a unique model for studying high-energy
phosphate and membrane phospholipid metabolism in living systems. Addition of
ALCAR and myo-inositol decreased the levels of phosphodiesters and inorganic
orthophosphate, and increased levels of phosphocreatine in the zebrafish (Levine
et al., 2003). This is important because ALCAR and myo-inositol are both antidepressant drugs (Chiechio et al., 2018; Nasca et al., 2013; Nemets et al., 2001),
and monitoring the metabolic profiles and effects of antidepressants or any other
type of drug via 1D 31P NMR may allow scientists to obtain a more complete picture of how these drugs affect patients. This is especially true of 31P NMR, which
has been, and most likely will continue to be, used as an in vivo metabolic imaging tool of living systems.
Past scientific work has proven the utility of 1D 31P NMR in in vivo metabolic imaging, and other meaningful applications. However, more work, such as

CHAPTER 5 Nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
the creation of more 1D 31P NMR reference spectra (Bhinderwala et al., 2020), is
required to make 1D 31P NMR a standardized tool for metabolomics research.
The results of such work will be worthwhile and meaningful for a number of
applications, which will most likely have patient benefits (e.g., the health industry
will be better able to monitor the effect of a drug on patients with the use of 1D

P NMR).

F in metabolomic studies
19
F NMR studies are rarer than any of the previously mentioned 1D NMR experiments, but still deserve a mention. 19F has a sensitivity akin to that of 1H, and
like 31P, has a natural abundance of 100%. 19F is not common in naturally occurring metabolites, but a number of drugs containing a fluorine atom and their
respective metabolisms have been studied in detail (Park et al., 2001).
For example, Pawłowski et al. (2019) combined 19F NMR and in silico techniques to study 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) (an anticancer drug containing fluorine)
metabolism in yeast under low ATP conditions. Lutz and Hull (1999) used 1D
19
F NMR to study how some of 5-FU’s anabolites [5-fluorouracil (FUra), 5fluorouridine (FUrd), 5-fluoro-20 -deoxyuridine (FdUrd), 5-fluorouridine-50 -monophosphate (FUMP), FdUMP, 5-fluorouridine-50 -diphosphate (FUDP), FUTP and
5-fluorouridine-50 -diphospho(1)-a-D-glucose (FUDPG)] responded to different pH
values. These anabolites (anabolic metabolites) are key to fluoropyrimidine chemotherapy in cancer treatment (Lutz & Hull, 1999), and thus an understanding of
their behavior under different environmental conditions may prove useful for
future treatment options.
1D 19F NMR may find additional applications in environmental studies, as 19F
is a convenient way to study the biodegradation of environmental pollutants, and
to obtain a quick initial scan of the metabolic profiles of newly isolated organisms
(Boersma et al., 2001). Nevertheless, future studies are needed to fully appreciate
and expand the use of 1D 19F NMR in metabolomics studies.
2D nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
Mono-dimensional (1D) proton (1H) NMR spectra from complex biological samples like blood and urine or plant extracts are crowded with overlapping peaks of
hundreds to thousands of molecules, making it difficult, if not impossible, to
obtain an accurate peak assignment and disentangle the information content
attributable to each molecule.
Multidimensional NMR experiments, and particularly two-dimensional (2D
NMR), can be used for peak assignment and structural determination of compounds (Dona et al., 2016; Emwas, Roy et al., 2019). The use of 2D experiments
is not widespread in metabolomics mostly because the acquisition of a 2D spectrum typically need the repetition of several hundreds of 1D experiments, leading
to acquisition times between a few tens of minutes and several hours, depending
on the type of experiment (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Giraudeau, 2020). This

makes it impossible to use 2D experiments in a high-throughput setting.
However, over the years several approaches have been proposed to accelerate the
acquisition of 2D spectra (Giraudeau, 2020; Rouger et al., 2017) including fast
repetition techniques (Farjon, 2017), spectral aliasing (Vitorge et al., 2009), nonuniform sampling (Mobli & Hoch, 2014), Hadamard (Kupče & Freeman, 2003),
and UF (Frydman et al., 2002) spectroscopy.
Several 2D NMR experiments are available and have been used in metabolomics for several applications including molecular identification, structural elucidation, and kinetic or energetic analysis (Chu et al., 2010; Emwas, Al-Talla
et al., 2013; Sahoo et al., 2020). 2D NMR experiments can be used to overcome
the problem of overlapping resonances by spreading a different type of information about peaks onto a second dimension. Correlation methods exploit chemical
shifts from covalently attached neighbors, while other methods exploit other
chemo physical properties, like the coupling constant J (which contains information about relative bond distances and angles) or the diffusion time (which is
the time need by a molecule to diffuse along the magnetic) (Emwas, Roy et al.,
2019).
The correlation spectroscopy (COSY) (Alonso et al., 1989) experiment is the
simplest of all 2D NMR experiments and provides information on homonuclear
correlations between coupled nuclei (1H-1H). It has been widely used for molecular identification and structural elucidation (Hunt et al., 1984; Kono, 2013; Lown
& Hanstock, 1985; Macura et al., 1983) and has proven to be particularly useful
for metabolomics research (Blasco et al., 2010; Flores-Sanchez et al., 2012; Kim
et al., 2010; Le Guennec et al., 2012; Sekiyama et al., 2011).
TOCSY (total COSY), also known as the homonuclear HartmannHahn
experiment (Braunschweiler & Ernst, 1983) is an extension of the COSY experiment wherein the chemical shift of a given nucleus is correlated with the chemical shift of other nuclei within the total (or near total) spin system of a given
compound. Typical applications of 2D-TOCSY are the structural elucidation of
carbohydrates and peptides since all protons belonging to the same sugar residue
or to a single amino acid will appear correlated (Johnson et al., 1995), or metabolite identification. An example of TOCSY is given in Fig. 5.2A.
COSY (like COSY and TOCSY-like spectroscopy) is not limited to homonuclear correlations; therefore, it can also be used for measuring heteronuclear correlations, that is, plotting the chemical shift from the 1H against the chemical
shift of other atoms (like 13C or 15N) as in the HSQC and HMBC.
In an 1H-13C-HSQC spectrum (Bodenhausen & Ruben, 1980), the chemical
shifts of proton and carbon atoms that are directly bonded are mapped, providing
only one cross-peak for each HC coupled pair. Similarly, an 1H-13C-HSQC
maps proton and carbon atoms that are directly bonded. HSQC experiments are
very useful for resolving and assigning overlapping proton signals, particularly
for metabolite signals arising from complex biofluid mixtures (Emwas, Roy et al.,
2019). An example of an H-13C-HSQC spectrum of sucrose overlaid onto an
Arabidopsis extract is given in Fig. 5.2B.

Heteronuclear multiple-quantum correlation spectroscopy (HMQC) is similar
to HSBQ. It provides correlation, as in HSQC, and the two methods give similar
quality results for small to medium-sized molecules, but HSQC is more appropriate for larger molecules (Keeler, 2011).
HMBC (Bax & Summers, 1986) is similar to HSQC but the HMBC experiment reveals correlations between nuclei that are separated by two or more

chemical bonds. The utility of 1H-13C HMBC in metabolomics has been shown
by the possibility of easily distinguishing some of the aromatic peaks of hippurate, phenylacetylglycine, and histidine in urine samples (Bernini et al., 2009), as
shown in Fig. 5.2C.
The combined use of HSQC and HMBC has proven to be particularly useful in
metabolomics for the identification of new compounds from plant extracts (Liang
et al., 2006), spider venom (Taggi et al., 2004), and insects (Dossey et al., 2007).
J-resolved (JRES) experiments (Aue et al., 1976) are by far the most used in
metabolomics because of their simplicity and short acquisition time (Giraudeau,
2020; Ludwig & Viant, 2010; Mahrous & Farag, 2015). Through JRES experiment, simplified projection of the proton spectrum, in which all peaks from a
multiplet appear as a singlet, is obtained by plotting the proton spectrum along
one dimension and the coupling constant (J value) of each signal along the second
dimension. JRES experiments have been applied to resolve overlapping resonances of metabolites identification in human biofluids such as urine, blood
plasma, and cerebral spinal fluid (Foxall et al., 1993; Lutz et al., 1998; Yang
et al., 2008). Moreover, JRES spectra connection between neighboring protons
can be established, and information about the J value of each signal can be used
to distinguish between some isomers such as α and β anomers of sugars and glycosides or cis and trans isomers of olefinic compounds (Mahrous & Farag, 2015).
In 2D diffusion-ordered (DOSY) experiments (Stilbs, 1987), a similar
approach is used by plotting the proton spectrum along one dimension and the
diffusion coefficient related to each NMR signal along the second dimension.
Since molecules with different molecular weights have different diffusion coefficients, it is in principle possible to identify them. It is possible to obtain a good
degree of separation between compounds that differ substantially in their molecular weights (Mahrous & Farag, 2015). 2D-DOSY have been used in the assignment of the anomeric protons of mono-, di-, or oligosaccharides in apple and
grape juices (Gil et al., 2004).
Building on the concepts of the TOCSY experiment, an idea has been proposed to exploit the statistical correlation among peaks that can be calculated
using multiple mono-dimensional. The Statistical TOSCY (STOCSY) (Cloarec
et al., 2005) uses multicollinearity of the intensity variables in a set of 1-D spectra
to generate a pseudo-two-dimensional NMR spectrum that displays the correlation
among the intensities of the various peaks across the whole sample. This has been
used to assign and identify relevant metabolites in a metabolomic study of a
model of insulin resistance (Cloarec et al., 2005). An example of STOCSY
obtained from a stack of X samples is given in Fig. 5.2D and can be compared
with a TOCSY spectrum obtained from one sample, Fig. 5.2C. The method can
be expanded to statistical total correlation spectroscopy editing (STOCSY-E)
(Sands et al., 2009) and to the hetero-nuclear HET-STOCSY by combining
mono-dimensional 31P and 1H NMR signals and used for biomarker detection.
In the case of 2D spectra, there is no linear correlation between the molar concentration of any compound and the area under the curve of the corresponding

signals because other factors like the resonance specific signal attenuation contribute to the intensity of the cross-peaks and their corresponding integration volumes
(Mahrous & Farag, 2015). Several approaches have been proposed to extract quantitative information from 2D spectra (Giraudeau et al., 2007; Lewis et al., 2007;
Michel & Akoka, 2004; Parsons et al., 2007; Pathan et al., 2011). However, none
of the methods is routinely applied in metabolomics for quantification purposes.
Contextually, 2D spectra have seldom been used directly for (multivariate) data
analysis since this kind of analysis needs either to transform 2D spectra to 1D spectra or the use of a multivariate approach that can handle three-dimensional data
since there is a data matrix (the 2D spectra) for each sample. However, some applications have been proposed for the use of NMR 2D spectra showing the value of
using 2D (Bertelli et al., 2010; Brinson et al., 2020; Farag et al., 2014; Sharma
et al., 2017) or providing some guidelines (Brinson et al., 2020).
High-resolution magic-angle spinning nuclear magnetic
resonance spectroscopy
High-Resolution Magic-Angle Spinning NMR Spectroscopy (HR-MAS) is a versatile tool that utilizes the MAS to measure suspended solid- or gel-like samples
that contain some internal molecular motions (Händel et al., 2003). In MAS NMR
[similar to solid-state NMR (ssNMR)], in order to obtain high resolution information from a spectra, the sample has to be positioned in a rotor that rapidly rotates
at the fixed angle of 54.736 degrees (the so-called “magic angle”) with respect to
the Z-axis of the static magnetic field (Fig. 5.3). This rotation is required to average the anisotropic spin interactions and remove the dipolar coupling, which normally cause line-broadening effects on the spectra, as shown in Fig. 5.4
(Ashbrook et al., 2018; Beckonert et al., 2010; Watts, 2005). For example, tissue
samples are usually spun at approximately 46 kHz. Under this kind of condition,
the acquisition of NMR spectra of the tissue is comparable with solution state
NMR (Beckonert et al., 2010). The problem however lies in the preservation of
the tissue: the speed of rotation affects the morphology and metabolite profile of
the sample (Gogiashvili et al., 2019). For example, two hours of rotation at 3 kHz
destroys 15%19% of adipocytes. The amount of sample used can vary from a
standard 65 µL that gives an improved signal to noise ratio, however the required
size could be reduced down to 12 µL by using spacers. The use of spacers
improves the field homogeneity and the peak line shape due to the compact spherical sample volume (Beckonert et al., 2010). Currently, MAS probes enable metabolomics researchers to measure different types of nuclei such as 1H, 13C, 15N
and 31P for human and animal tissue samples (Esmaeili et al., 2014; Levin et al.,
2009; McNally et al., 2006).
The application of HR-MAS was found to be useful in an “integrative metabolomics” approach when investigating metabolic profiles of different tissue types

CHAPTER 5 Nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
and bio fluids (Beckonert et al., 2010). One of the examples is the work done by
Chan et al. (2009) in which they analyzed colon mucosae in order to define metabolites that could help to discriminate malignant (colorectal cancer) forms of
mucosae from normal mucosae. They utilized HR-MAS NMR (1D NOESY and
1D Carr-Purcell-Meiboom-Gill) and GC-MS to profile tumor specimens and compare them with normal mucosae. The results obtained from these experiments
revealed a higher level of both saturated and unsaturated lipids and/or fatty acids
in normal mucosae compared to malignant samples, and an increase in levels of
lactate and glycine with the decrease of glucose and arachidonic acid levels in
tumor specimens (Chan et al., 2009).
Another prominent example of HR-MAS in practice is the use of 1H HR-MAS
NMR to investigate human bone cancer biology. The work done by Tavel et al.
(2016) focused on multiple myeloma—a type of bone marrow cancer. The goal
of the study was to gain insight and understand the rules behind the genetic heterogeneity within the same tumor lesion. For that, the authors combined 1H HRMAS, and multivariate analysis, and complemented this with information
obtained through histo-morphological observations. Although the differences
between lipids in the two morphologically distinct types of the tumor (termed as
“oily” and “calcified”) were not significant, the peak at 2.75 ppm that was significantly lower in the calcified tumor samples as compared to the oily ones suggested the existence of a differential lipid composition (Tavel et al., 2016).
HR-MAS NMR could also be used in more industry types of applications, for
example, to control the process of production. An example of such an approach
was taken by Garcı́a-Garcı́a et al. (2018) where the authors investigated the
manufacturing process of dry fermented salchichón type sausages and predict
their early days of ripening. They collected the samples after 0, 2, 4, 7, 11, and
14 days of drying and then measured them using 1H HR-MAS NMR. The results
obtained showed that salchichón production is a three-stage process that includes
formulation, fermentation and drying-ripening. Each of the processes could be
distinguished by metabolomic profiles related to microbial activity. For example,
the beginnings of the fermentation stage were characterized by the increase of signals related to ethanol (signal 9), acetic acid (signal 24) and 2,3-butanediol (signals 7, 8, 89). However, on the 14th day of ripening (the profile of final product),
those signals were reduced and an increase in signals of Ile, Leu, Val, α-Ala,
Glu, Gln, Met, Thr, Phe, Tyr, and Trp was observed (Garcı́a-Garcı́a et al., 2018).
Those signals were signs of proteolysis and were related to the future flavor
development of salchichón (Diaz et al., 1997).
Pure shift nuclear magnetic resonance
Additionally, the proton-proton homonuclear scalar coupling results in splitting of
signals into complex multiples, creating in some cases more severely overlapped

spectra. When compared to 13C (at the state natural isotopic abundance), 13C
NMR spectra tend to be better separated with singlets only present (assuming perfect 1H decoupling during observation). Although the homonuclear 13C13C couplings can be seen in the spectra, they are extremely weak and usually hidden in
the baseline noise (Zangger, 2015).
While the methods for suppression of heteronuclear J couplings have existed for
many decades, development still continues (Kogler et al., 1983; Kövér & Batta,
1987; Rutar, 1984; Schilling et al., 2014). The removal of homonuclear J couplings
(i.e., short range through bond 1H-1H) has been more challenging. The goal of pure
shift NMR (homonuclear broadband decoupling) is to convert all of the signals into
singlets by manipulating the acquired time-domain observations, and exhibit the
average evolution only under the effects of chemical shift evolution while excluding J-coupling (Zangger, 2015). To achieve this, a combination of novel NMR
pulse sequences with innovative data acquisition and data processing techniques
has been developed. Most pure shift NMR spectra are obtained using one of two
different classes of experiments: J-refocusing experiments in which evolution under
scalar coupling is refocused, or constant-time experiments with a constant amount
of evolution (Adams, 2007). Both are based on a somewhat similar approach. First,
a portion of free induction decay (FID) signal is collected for each increment of an
evolution period. Second, the increments are combined to create an interferogram
that can be later transformed as a conventional FID to obtain pure shift spectra
(Adams, 2007; Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Zangger & Sterk, 1997). More technical
details about the pulse sequences and different types of pure shift experiments can
be found in (Adams, 2007; Castañar, 2017; Zangger, 2015).
The pure shift NMR offers a great opportunity for applications in metabolomics. Although the main disadvantage of this method is the general loss of sensitivity, significant advances have been made to overcome this challenge. For
example, utilization of pure shift (real-time BIRD) 1H-13C HSQC-SI experiments
on the metabolomics studies have been shown to increase the sensitivity of a
spectra by about 40%50% over a traditional 2D HSQC-SI experiment, and
improve the chemical shift matching against NMR metabolomics databases
(Timári et al., 2019). Another example shows that the use of SAPPHIREPSYCHE experiments combined with Statistical TOtal Correlation SpectroscopY
(STOCSY) allows for easier identification of metabolites present in the mixture
of Physalis peruviana fruits, and even enabled the identification of a new metabolite that was omitted by standard proton NMR (Lopez et al., 2019).

Improvements in nuclear magnetic resonance hardware and
techniques and additional tools to aid in metabolomics studies

quantify metabolites present at very low concentrations (nM—µM) (Psychogios
et al., 2011) also see https://serummetabolome.ca/concentrations). Correctly identifying and quantifying metabolites requires good quality NMR spectra, which
may take several hours to a few days to obtain, even with high field NMR magnets (600950 MHz). High field NMR magnets require routine liquid helium and
nitrogen filling, which adds to the cost of running NMR experiments.
To acquire the large number of samples expected, for example, in population
screening programs or in epidemiological studies, it is necessary to improve the
technique to reach an even higher throughput, possibly in the range of hundreds
per day or more.
A smart approach to deal with this issue was proposed by Mulder et al.
(2019). The authors suggest the addition of a small amount of a commercial gadolinium contrast agent solution to urine samples. The resulting effect is a drastic
shortening of the relaxation times (T1) of the molecules in solution, thus permitting the reduction of the relaxation delay parameter. An increase in speed of up to
fourfold with respect to standard protocols was reported, without appreciable
effects on spectral quality.
Nuclear magnetic resonance magnets
Currently, 950 MHz and 1 GHz NMR magnets are quite commonly available for
commercial applications. Intriguingly, 1.2 GHz magnets have been also introduced on the market, opening a new era of ultra-high field applications.
Noteworthy, the first 1H NMR spectrum at 1.2 GHz of a urine sample has been
recently acquired at CERM (Banci et al., 2019) 1.2 GHz magnets increase the
sensitivity and resolution of the experiments, thus potentially allowing the detection of a higher number of metabolites in biofluids (Wishart, 2019). Larger magnets, however, typically cost more to use and maintain, and also take up a
significant amount of lab space. As a result, BNMR spectrometers with field
strengths of B100 MHz that take up much less space are gaining interest from
researchers.
BNMR spectrometers have permanent magnets that are maintenance free and
do not require dedicated lab space for their use (Blümich, 2019). Because of their
permanent magnets, BNMR have lower magnetic fields (60, 90, 100 MHz), and
do not offer as high resolution as the larger high magnetic field NMR magnets.
However, their low cost and portability are attractive reasons for using them over
larger magnets with higher fields, especially for academic laboratories with low
budgets (Wishart, 2019). BNMR are also easy for novice NMR spectroscopists to
use (Lawson et al., 2020; Romero et al., 2020; van Beek, 2021) and are even used
for academic teaching purposes (Riegel & Leskowitz, 2016). Studies with BNMR
show that BNMR (low-field magnets) can produce NMR spectra that are comparable to high magnetic fields for biofluid samples of patients with tuberculosis
(Izquierdo-Garcia et al., 2019) and type II diabetes (Percival et al., 2019), demonstrating the value of BNMR for disease diagnosis.

The use of BNMR in metabolomics has emerged in recent years. Percival
et al. (2019) developed a protocol for the analysis of urine, saliva, and blood
serum, all of which are readily available biofluids on a BNMR (60 MHz). The
authors successfully detected common diabetic markers, particularly α-glucose
(#2.8 mM) and acetone (25 µM) in urine samples (Percival et al., 2019). In addition, Edgar et al. (2021) used a 60 MHz BNMR to perform a multicomponent
metabolomics analysis for urine samples of patients with type II diabetes. The
authors were able to successfully detect and quantify B15 metabolite biomarkers
for type II diabetes, which could be monitored to achieve rapid diagnosis and
prognosis of patients (Edgar et al., 2021).
It is possible that BNMRs may become more popular for future metabolomics
studies than high field magnets, but they may never achieve the full level of resolution and sensitivity of more costly, high-field magnetic fields. Nevertheless,
whether or not time and cost are of concern, BNMRs and high-field NMR are of
great value and have tremendous potential for metabolomic studies involving the
diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
Nuclear magnetic resonance probes
The probe is essential for NMR experiments as it contains the necessary electronics and hardware to transmit and receive radiofrequency energy into the NMR
sample of interest (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019). The probe can be designed in such
a way as to accommodate various sizes of NMR tubes, and to have channels for
the reading of multiple nuclei (Hong et al., 2018; Webb, 2006). Several changes
have been made to probes over the last 20 years that increase the sensitivity of
NMR, making it possible in some cases to enhance the signal of NMR-active
nuclei with low natural abundance (such as 13C) (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Keun,
Beckonert et al., 2002).
Cryoprobes, for example, can increase the sensitivity of NMR by reducing the
level of thermal noise generated by electronic circuits. As a result, the signal to
noise ratio can increase by a factor of four, which is useful for NMR-nuclei with
low sensitivity such as 13C (Webb, 2006). For example, Keun, Beckonert et al.
(2002) demonstrated the use of cryoprobes in obtaining information-rich and
high-quality 1D 13C NMR spectra of rat urine. Cryoprobes are considered a major
advancement in NMR technology (Kovacs et al., 2005), and will likely play a
larger role in future metabolomic studies involving NMR-active nuclei with low
sensitivity.
Flow probes
Flow NMR is a term used to describe various techniques in which the sample is
flowing through a tube into the NMR probe and out to a reservoir. Samples are
not individually contained and measured in an NMR tube. The field of flow
NMR is based on the combination with LC (i.e., LC-NMR), in which the first

CHAPTER 5 Nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
experimental outlet of an HPLC system is connected directly to the NMR probe,
which dates back to the end of the 1970s (Keifer, 2007; Watanabe & Niki, 1978).
Currently, the field has evolved with various techniques such as Direct Injection
NMR (DI-NMR) (Keifer et al., 2000), Flow Injection Analysis NMR (FIA-NMR)
(Keifer, 2003) and Solid-Phase-Extraction NMR (SPE-NMR) (Griffiths & Horton,
1998). The hardware for LC-NMR consists of an HPLC fluid pump, some form
of injector loop and valve control for the introduction of the sample into the system, a separating column, and one or more HPLC detectors (e.g., UV detector,
conductivity detector), and this material is output to the NMR flow probe (Keifer,
2003). The sample is loaded into the injector loop and manually or automatically
injected at the start of the LC-NMR run (Keifer, 2007; 2003). In DI-NMR, the
hardware can consist of only a Gilson 215 Liquids Handler and an NMR flow
probe (Keifer et al., 2000; Keifer, 2003). The samples (in solution state) are automatically injected into an NMR flow cell and then withdrawn the same way it
came in, with rinsing of the flow cell in between the different samples (Keifer
et al., 2000; Keifer, 2003, 2007). On the other hand, FIA-NMR is a simplified
version of LC-NMR where the chromatographic column and the detectors are
removed, leaving only a pump, an injector loop, a valve and a connector between
the injector loop and the NMR flow probe (Keifer, 2003; Keifer, 2007).
Each of the methods have an NMR flow probe in common. The flow probe
has to be adapted for both continuous sample injection and removal, for example,
the connection to the HPLC column/system, and be designed to minimalize crosscontamination of samples and the formation of air bubbles in the flow cell (a
glass or quartz sample tube with openings at the top and the bottom) (Haner &
Keifer, 2007; Keifer, 2007). Two classes of probes exist: probes with the sample
tube positioned vertically (like a standard NMR tube) and with saddle-shaped RF
coils, and probes with the capillary sample tube positioned horizontally, with a
solenoidal RF coil (Haner & Keifer, 2007). Most of those probes are optimized
for 1H detection and 2H lock with the option of extra RF channels either single
tuned (13C) or double (13C/15N) (Haner & Keifer, 2007). Additionally, since the
flow probe is directly connected to the HPLC system, it has to be adapted to the
limitations of HPLC. For example, the flow cells usually have B60 µL volumes,
which is a typical analytical LC peak (Haner & Keifer, 2007; Keifer, 2007). It is
also worth mentioning that cryogenic flow probes became available some time
ago, which increased sensitivity and resolution, and enabled faster acquisition of
NMR data (Haner & Keifer, 2007; Keifer, 2007). Flow NMR has several complications such as cross-contamination, which can be alleviated by multiple rinses
in-between. However, this requires time and increased solvent volumes, leading
to the dilution of samples. Solvent suppression also becomes an issue, as the
desire is often to scan samples as they flow by negating the ability to actively and
slowly reduce solvent signals. Different solvent suppression techniques are therefore required (Altieri et al., 1996; Hoult, 1976; McKay, 2009; Price, 1999).
Otherwise sample flow has to be halted while NMR acquisition occurs, which
limits the advantages of flow systems.

Metabolomics databases and nuclear magnetic resonance software
programs
A plethora of metabolomics databases and NMR software programs
(Metabolomics Software and Servers) (Bingol, 2018; Ellinger et al., 2013;
Giraudeau, 2020; Halabalaki et al., 2014; Izquierdo-Garcia et al., 2021; Johnson
& Lange, 2015; Lipfert et al., 2019; Nagana Gowda & Raftery, 2017; Okazaki &
Saito, 2012; Wishart et al., 2009, 2019), both free and licensed, is available to
assist researchers with the identification and quantification of metabolites and natural products (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Johnson & Lange, 2015). Databases provide reference spectra that assist researchers in identifying the metabolites in their
samples (Johnson & Lange, 2015), and/or separating known compounds from
unknown compounds (Lai et al., 2018), an especially useful tool for untargeted
metabolomics studies (Bingol, 2018). Software programs can be tuned to accelerate (Ellinger et al., 2013; Puchades-Carrasco et al., 2016; Spicer et al., 2017) and
automate (Beirnaert et al., 2018; Bingol, 2018; de Brouwer & Stegeman, 2011;
Howarth et al., 2020; Johnson & Lange, 2015; Kern et al., 2019) the identification
and quantification of metabolites.
Since MS is also widely used in metabolomics studies, many databases
include NMR and MS reference spectra, while others only contain NMR or MS
spectra (Johnson & Lange, 2015). Some databases contain no spectral data at all
(Johnson & Lange, 2015). Since the focus of this chapter is the role of NMR in
metabolomics, we will limit our discussion to databases that contain NMR spectral data and to software tools that are capable of analyzing NMR spectra of metabolites. We introduce some of these tools below, and briefly describe some
improvements that could be made for future applications.
Databases for nuclear magnetic resonance-based metabolomics
The HMDB, found at https://hmdb.ca/, is probably the most widely used database
for metabolomics studies, and is considered the standard metabolic database for
human metabolic studies (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Wishart et al., 2009). Created
in 2007 by David Wishart (Wishart et al., 2007, 2009, 2012), it contains over
100,000 metabolites, with many data fields hyperlinked to additional open-source
databases. Since its creation, the number of experimental and predicted NMR
spectra in HMDB has increased fourfold. HMDB also contains data about many
drugs and drug metabolites, toxins and environmental pollutants, pathway diagrams for human metabolic and disease pathways, food components and food
additives in its subdatabases DrugBank, T3DB, SMPDB and FooDB, respectively,
all of which extend its utility beyond metabolomics studies into clinical and environmental studies. The number of metabolites for each of these subdatabases
extends into the thousands. It is likely that HMDB will become the de facto database for NMR-based metabolomics studies (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019) if it is not
already, and Wishart and his colleagues will continue to increase the number of

metabolites in the database, and their relevant spectral information. Though not
nearly as extensive as HMDB, the Biological Magnetic Resonance Bank (BMRB,
found at https://bmrb.io/) (Ulrich et al., 2007) contains information regarding
where the cataloged compounds (B1000 total) were collected, the solution conditions, how the data (i.e., NMR spectra) were obtained, and the NMR pulse
sequences used to obtain the NMR spectra (Markley et al., 2007). It has several
types of NMR spectra, including 1H, 13C, DEPT90, DEPT 135, 1H J-resolved,
1
H-13C HSQC, 1H-13C HMBC, 1H-1H TOCSY, and 1H-1H COSY spectra
(Johnson & Lange, 2015). The BMRB database is searchable by compound name,
structure, 1D and 2D HSQC peak lists, and solvent and field strength. BMRB has
several output files that can be easily read by third party NMR software. It also
contains a bulk download option, which is extremely convenient for researchers
who need to do their work offline.
The Madison-Qingdao Metabolomics Consortium Database (MMCD) (found
at http://mmcd.nmrfam.wisc.edu/) contains over 20,000 metabolites, with standard
1H, 13C, 1H,1H-TOCSY, 1H,13C-HSQC NMR spectra for 794 of their cataloged
compounds. As of 2015, MMCD contained a total of 5,256 NMR spectra. Far
from simply holding useful NMR (and MS) data for researchers, MMCD is an
efficient and flexible query system that accepts input in the forms of text, molecular structure search, NMR parameters, MS parameters, and/or miscellaneous (i.e.,
reference, data source, organism, etc.). These search parameters may include
information about isotopomer molecular weight, nomenclature, physical properties, empirical and calculated chemical shifts, and/or NMR sample conditions. It
is possible to submit queries as a single file or as a batch (Cui et al., 2008). All of
these properties make MMCD a flexible and useful tool for metabolomics
research, though improvements such as more data entries and more synchronization with other databases would help to increase its already large versatility.
The last NMR-metabolomics database we will discuss in detail is the
Birmingham Metabolite Library BML-NMR (found at http://www.bml-nmr.org).
BML-NMR contains comparatively few metabolites (208 total) compared to the
databases discussed above. However, the metabolites it contains are widely
detected in metabolomics studies, and its standard solutions were prepared at pH
values (6.6, 7.0, 7.4), which are close to physiological pH (7.357.45) (Duarte,
Jaremko et al., 2020) enabling the effect of pH on the chemical shifts of the
NMR signals to be quantified. 1D and 2D J-resolved NMR spectra, quantified
peak lists, and metadata that comply with the Metabolomics Standards Initiative
(Rubtsov et al., 2007) are included in the database (Ludwig et al., 2012). Though
not as comprehensive as other metabolomic databases such as HMDB, the BMLNMR database provides detailed and high-quality data of metabolite standards
that serve as a useful starting point for the identification of metabolites, and for
filtering the “known” metabolites from the “unknown” metabolites.
Despite a plethora of metabolomic databases to aid in the detection, identification, and quantification of metabolites, much more work must be done to “unify”
them to enhance their capacity in NMR-based metabolomics research. A crucial

element would be to have a downloadable, uniform/common file output system
(e.g., every file is.xml or.txt) across the multiple databases. Virtually all metabolomic databases have their own unique file output, with some being vendorspecific, and some having no form of downloadable data whatsoever (Johnson &
Lange, 2015). The creation of a common output file format (regardless of the
databases from which NMR data is taken) would make it convenient for scientists
to analyze standard and known metabolites. A second option would be to create a
software program that converts the various output files into one, searchable file
format (such as a text file).
The more pressing need, however, is to increase the amount of available data
on metabolites. Currently, only a tiny fraction of the known metabolome has been
analyzed, while the rest remaining uncharacterized and named as the “dark matter” of the metabolome (da Silva et al., 2015; Wishart et al., 2018). Most of the
databases are limited to NMR spectra involving 1H and 13C nuclei, with comparatively few spectra involving other important nuclei such as 19F, 15N (Emwas, Roy
et al., 2019) and 31P (Bhinderwala et al., 2020). Though increasing the amount of
data in the NMR metabolomics databases would take a considerable amount of
time, the effort would pay off since many important diseases such as cancer are
metabolic in nature (Čuperlović-Culf, 2012; Palmnas & Vogel, 2013; Wishart
et al., 2016), and the increase in data amount and availability would most likely
help in the identification of novel biomarkers (Gebregiworgis & Powers, 2012;
Serkova & Niemann, 2006; Smolinska et al., 2012).
For those interested in a more in-depth review of metabolomics databases containing NMR spectra, we recommend the following (Ellinger et al., 2013;
Halabalaki et al., 2014; Izquierdo-Garcia et al., 2021; Johnson & Lange, 2015;
Misra & van der Hooft, 2016; Puchades-Carrasco et al., 2016; Wishart, 2019).
Use of software to analyze metabolite nuclear magnetic resonance
data
In order to correctly identify and quantify metabolites, NMR data are subject to
additional analyses, which include pre and post data processing (Ellinger et al.,
2013; Emwas et al., 2018; Euceda et al., 2015; Karaman, 2017), normalization
(Kohl et al., 2012; Roberts et al., 2014; Zacharias et al., 2018) and statistical
methods such as multivariate analysis (Bartel et al., 2013; De Livera et al., 2013;
Misra & van der Hooft, 2016; Puchades-Carrasco et al., 2016; Ren et al., 2015;
Saccenti et al., 2014). Several NMR software programs are available to aid in the
analysis and interpretation of NMR metabolite data. There are both open source
and commercially available NMR software for metabolomics studies (Ellinger
et al., 2013; Lewis et al., 2009; Puchades-Carrasco et al., 2016), though the availability of and interest in open-source NMR software have increased in recent
years (O’Sullivan et al., 2007). Below, we discuss a few of the available NMR
software tools, and their uses in metabolomics research.

CHAPTER 5 Nuclear magnetic resonance in metabolomics
The BATMAN (Bayesian AuTomated Metabolite Analyzer for NMR data) program is a freely available, R-based package used to deconvolute, analyze, and
quantify the peaks of metabolites in 1H NMR spectra (Hao et al., 2012). BATMAN
implements a Bayesian model, followed by a Markov chain Monte Carlo algorithm
to automatically quantify metabolites, and then assign the metabolites based on
user-defined parameters (e.g., list of metabolites, chemical shift region) (Hao et al.,
2012). BATMAN can also account for shifts in the position of peaks commonly
observed in NMR spectra (Izquierdo-Garcia et al., 2021). In short, BATMAN automatically assigns the peaks and gives concentration estimates of metabolites in the
sample (Hao et al., 2012), thereby saving time that would otherwise be spent
assigning and picking peaks manually, which may be especially applicable in discriminating diseased patients from HCs. For example, Padayachee et al. (2019)
compared BATMAN with the common binning approach to discriminate between
serum samples of lung cancer patients and those of HCs. Though their use of
BATMAN was not completely automatic (i.e., they had to spend significant
amounts of time using the software to analyze the samples), they found that
BATMAN had a fair predicting power for metabolite concentrations at high magnet
field strengths (900 MHz) (Padayachee et al., 2019). This example illustrates the
clinical relevance of BATMAN for clinical studies and could be used in metabolomic studies to discover new biomarkers for diseases.
The BAYESIL program (Web-based) is another software that implements the
Bayesian model to automatically identify and quantify metabolites from 1D 1H
NMR spectra of ultra-filtered plasma, serum, or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)
(Ravanbakhsh et al., 2015). For BAYESIL to work properly and optimally, a strict
protocol (see http://bayesil.ca/spectra_collection) must be followed. BAYESIL
automatically performs processing steps, such as Fourier transformation, phasing,
solvent filtering, chemical shift referencing, baseline correction and reference line
shape convolution. It is the first fully-automatic publicly-accessible system to quantify NMR spectra, and has an identification accuracy similar to and even higher
than that of highly trained spectroscopists (Ravanbakhsh et al., 2015). For the less
experienced users of the Web-based BAYESIL interface, a protocol is available
that details the steps on how to submit NMR data for spectral analysis (Lipfert
et al., 2019). BAYESIL is a great stand-alone tool, but it can be combined with
other NMR programs such as BATMAN (Mediani et al., 2017) to increase data
output and to compare/confirm the identification and quantification of metabolites.
The most common and well-known software tool for NMR metabolomics is
ChenoMX (http://www.chenomx.com/software/), a commercial, patented software
package (Izquierdo-Garcia et al., 2021). ChenoMX contains reference libraries for
many types of organic compounds (e.g., amides, amines, and metabolites involved
in carbohydrate metabolism), which are available for different pH values (49)
and NMR field strengths (400800 MHz). A handy feature of ChenoMX is its
ability to automatically adjust the Reference Library to reflect the sample and
acquisition conditions (e.g., pH and NMR field strength) by “fitting” the
Reference Library to the experimental NMR spectra, which then enables

identification and quantification of the metabolites. ChenoMX can be used to
identify metabolites in biofluids (Rosewell & Vitols, 2006) such as urine (Vitols
& Fu, 2006; Weljie et al., 2006), blood serum (Vitols & Weljie, 2006), and
plasma (Vitols & Weljie, 2006). ChenoMX has also been used to measure drug
metabolism in cell culture, and to discover new biomarkers in the food industry
(see http://www.chenomx.com/software/). Clearly, ChenoMX is a tool of interest
in metabolite quantification and identification.
Perhaps most familiar to NMR spectroscopists are the programs TopSpin
(https://www.bruker.com/products/Mr/nmr/software/topspin) and MestreNova
(https://mestrelab.com) (Willcott, 2009), both of which are used to analyze and
process NMR data, as well to prepare NMR spectra for publication. TopSpin has
a user-friendly interface, which is useful for both novice and experienced users. It
also provides tools to assist in NMR data acquisition and to make the structural
elucidation of small molecules (e.g., metabolites) efficient. MestreNova, on the
other hand, can open raw FID files in multiple formats (Varian, Bruker, JEOL,
etc.), and show the spectra immediately with no operator intervention (e.g.,
Fourier transform). It can also open MS files, which can further aid in metabolite
identification and quantification, as MS is much more sensitive than NMR.
MestreNova has a powerful, user-friendly interface to visualize, process, analyze,
and report 1D and 2D NMR spectra. Both TopSpin and MestreNova are commercial software, and licenses are available to businesses and universities alike.
The main difficulties in identifying and quantifying peaks in NMR derive
from the shifts of the peaks that, especially for urine samples are not fixed. A
novel approach to deal with these variations using an automated and accurate prediction of chemical shifts in urine was recently introduced (Takis et al., 2017).
This algorithm is driven by the chemical shifts of five “navigator” signals from
which, using a regression-based approach, the position of many other signals can
be accurately predicted to the 3rd4th decimal of ppm.
As with NMR databases, it would be helpful to have a uniform file format
that any program (open source or commercial) can open and process. Efforts in
this direction have been performed with international initiatives (Salek et al.,
2015). Though not strictly necessary, it would aid in analyzing data that multiple
collaborators and researchers are working on, thus facilitating the identification
and quantification of metabolites in biofluids. More updates to metabolomics software tools are underway (Misra & Mohapatra, 2019; Misra & van der Hooft,
2016; Spicer et al., 2017) and are likely to continue in the future (Wishart, 2019).
Advantages of nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy
As discussed above, NMR is a versatile analytical instrument with superior
advantages including its high reproducibility, nondestructive nature, and nonbiased approach. Furthermore, NMR is an inherently quantitative method for both

the identification and quantification of different molecules in sample mixtures.
NMR is also a rapid and high-throughput technique allowing the acquisition of
multiple samples per hour. Standard biological fluid sample preparation is relatively fast, and with minimal sample handling and workup. Finally, despite the
high costs of NMR spectrometers and professional staffing, the cost per sample
(with economies of scale) can be lower (e.g., 1020 euros per sample) than other
methods.

Reproducibility
A fundamental advantage of NMR spectroscopy over MS is high reproducibility.
In 1988 a repeatability factor of over 0.8% and a confidence interval of 0.25%
were determined during a study across 15 European laboratories, and the reproducibility when using different NMR systems was on the order of 2%3%. This
was improved to 1% with more homogeneous spectrometer systems (Guillou
et al., 1988). In contrast, Bauer et al. (1998) observed significant laboratory
effects in the integration of complex signal during the course of an interlaboratory
study (5 centers), investigating the quantitative use of NMR. In 1999, a German
interlaboratory study on quantitative NMR (Malz & Jancke, 2005) found results
to differ up to 100% among participating sites; differences were attributed mostly
to the individual and independent setup of the measurements, the data processing,
and the evaluation procedure of each single laboratory (Gallo et al., 2015; Malz
& Jancke, 2005). In a follow up study involving 33 sites (instruments operating
from 200 to 600 MHz) (Malz & Jancke, 2005), a common protocol for the experimental setup and data processing was adopted and the determination of mole
ratios of different compounds showed a measurement uncertainty of 1.5% for a
confidence level of 95%. In another large-scale ring-test (Gallo et al., 2015), the
different participants were able to produce NMR spectra of a given mixture that
were statistically equivalent in terms of relative intensities of the signals with
respect to the internal standard.
In a metabolomics context, Dumas et al. (2006) observed a .98% multivariate analytical reproducibility, with most of the inaccuracies originating from sample handling. Keun, Ebbels et al. (2002) assessed the analytical reproducibility
of metabolomics protocols at two sites with spectrometers operating at 500 and
600 MHz and found that the relative concentrations of citrate, hippurate, and
taurine were in .95% correlation (r2) between the two instruments, with an
analytical error comparable to normal physiological variation in concentration
(4%8%).
Ward et al. (2010) analyzed plant-derived samples by 1H-NMR spectroscopy
across five different sites using instruments with different probes and magnetic
field strengths (400, 500 and 600 MHz). They found exceptional comparability of
the data sets obtained from different laboratories and reported that field strength
differences can be adjusted for in the data preprocessing. They concluded that

Challenges and limitations

H-NMR fingerprinting is the ideal technique for large-scale plant metabolomics
data collection requiring the participation of multiple laboratories.
Further, a large scale assessment of technical reproducibility of NMR metabolomics (Dumas et al., 2006) proved that NMR spectroscopy of biofluids combined
with multivariate pattern recognition is a robust and precise approach for metabolomics studies, outperforming other “-omics” technologies in terms of reproducibility. The coefficient of variation for signals in repeated NMR spectra is
reported in the range of 0%10%.
However, all studies stressed the necessity of using standardized protocols for
sample collection, handling, and measurement for precise quantitative and fingerprinting applications (Emwas, Luchinat et al., 2015), which render NMR spectroscopy highly reproducible. It has been our experience that volatility in physical
sample handling (i.e., acquisition protocols, storage, shipping, and preparation)
generates a far larger error in results than the NMR instrumentation itself
(Sokolenko et al., 2013).
Challenges and limitations
Although NMR spectroscopy enjoys several advantages as summarized above, a
few limitations still represent daunting challenges that need to be appreciated and
overcome in order to improve sensitivity, spectral resolution, and both accurate
and precise metabolite identification. The main limitation of NMR spectroscopy
is intrinsic low sensitivity concerning metabolites below B10 µM or even into
submicromolar levels. Without substantially extended experimental times, these
metabolites remain undetectable by NMR spectroscopy. For a specific example,
many essential metabolites such as hormones are usually below this detection
limit. Additionally, secondary metabolites could be the focus of many targeted
metabolomics studies, however the detection limit makes these impractical.
Despite several developments including ultra-high field NMR magnet, cryoprobes, and using hyperpolarizations methods (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Wishart,
2019), many metabolites are still unobtainable.
Spectral overlap is another challenge in NMR spectroscopy, mainly in 1D
spectra (Emwas, Alghrably et al., 2019; Mohammed et al., 2020; Naser et al.,
2019). This presents a major difficulty in metabolic identification and subsequent
quantification. For example, the typical spectra width of the entire possible 1D 1H
NMR spectra (i.e., in D2O/H2O under typical conditions) is less than 11 ppm.
Indeed, the vast majority of 1H NMR signals are mainly obtained between 1 and
4.4 ppm, and the aromatic region (B6.58 ppm). As most NMR studies employ
1
H NMR, overlap is still one of the main problems in data analyses. While the
spectral redundancy problem can be resolved using higher and higher magnetic
fields, there is a limit (B1200 MHz or 28.2 Tesla costing B12.5 M euros) to
what researchers can access. Other techniques such as multidimensional (e.g., 2D)

and/or multinuclear (e.g., 1H,13C) NMR spectroscopy, pure shift NMR, and projection of JRES spectroscopy (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019) can all assist, at the cost
of additional time and experimental complexity.
Another issue is the lack of fully developed NMR spectral libraries designed
specifically for metabolomics (e.g., calibrated for common field strengths/instruments, gathered in standard format, and freely available). Although projects such
as the Human Metabolomics DataBase (e.g., HMDB 4.0) exist and gather extensive information about metabolites (including NMR spectra), the number of
experimental data sets provided for NMR (3840) is far behind those for MS/MS
(22198) or GC-MS (7418) (Wishart et al., 2018). This aspect was addressed by
the NIH with a call to develop a new, sustainable, and open natural products
NMR spectral database containing NMR spectra of natural products for NMR
metabolomics researchers (Wishart, 2019).
Lastly, the practical aspects related to the infrastructure and operational procedure seem to impede the popularization of NMR. NMR requires highly skilled
and educated operators to control the instrument and evaluate and interpret
the results (the problem increases even more when the lack of an appropriate
NMR metabolic database is included). When combined with the fact that NMR
magnets have extensive laboratory footprints (especially the new 1.2 GHz models), require special vibration, magnetic field and radio interference free spaces,
and a constant supply of liquid helium and nitrogen to maintain the superconducting magnet, the utilization of NMR is therefore obviously hindered by the
financial costs and huge equipment footprint (Emwas, Roy et al., 2019; Wishart,
2019). The use of “benchtop,” relatively inexpensive, nonsuperconducting magnets is attractive, however the present limit to 80 MHz and below makes the
overlap problems described above even more prominent (Edgar et al., 2021;
Percival et al., 2019; Wishart, 2019).

Sample preparation
p0585
p0595
The initial stage of any metabolomic investigation (Takis et al., 2019; Tenori
et al., 2007; Vignoli et al., 2019) includes the fundamental steps of the collection
of the biological samples, their handling, transportation, and storage. All these
steps collectively constitute the so-called “preanalytical” phase (see Fig. 5.5). In a
complex biological mixture, such as a biofluid, the concentrations of the different
analytes could change according to the different conditions or procedures
employed for the preanalytical phase. These changes are mostly induced by enzymatic reactions, chemical reactions, and exposure to air and light. Thus it is of
utmost importance to establish optimal standard operating procedures (SOPs) for
the proper collection and handling of the biological samples. This is important
also for biobank activities. In principle, dedicated SOPs need to be developed for
each different sample type. This can only be achieved by performing a systematic

evaluation of all the possible effects that potentially could influence the composition of the sample, and analyzing the sample under different preanalytical conditions, in a process that can be dub “evidence-based” SOPs development.
Thorough evaluations (Kirwan et al., 2018) exist for some of the most useful biofluids, such as urine, serum, plasma, saliva and CSF.
As an example, it was observed that the main source of preanalytical changes
in urine samples is due to the presence of human or bacterial cells that may break
upon water crystal formation after freezing (Bernini et al., 2011). Indeed, cell
breaking releases enzymes that ignite uncontrolled reactions in the sample. For
this reason, if cells are eliminated by filtration (and/or mild centrifugation) before
NMR sample preparation or long-term storage, these undesirable effects are much
reduced. This is preferred to the addition of stabilizers (such as enzyme

inhibitors) that introduce unwanted signals in the NMR spectra and may also
induce changes in the sample. After monitoring the urine metabolic profile over
time, it was concluded that urine needed to be processed within 2 hours of collection and maintained at 4 C between collection and processing. For the long-term
storage of the samples, liquid nitrogen vapor or 280 C are the recommended
conditions.
A similar investigation was performed for serum and plasma samples, and the
stability of these biofluids was controlled with respect to time and storage temperature before separation from the whole blood (Bernini et al., 2011). They
observed time-dependent and temperature-dependent changes both for serum and
plasma samples: in both cases storage at 25 C caused deeper changes in the NMR
profile, in particular for glucose, lactate, and pyruvate, with a decrement of glucose concentration and a connected increment in lactate.
Thus the optimal SOPs developed for serum and plasma collection for NMRbased metabolomic studies prescribe:

The suitability of these recommendations was also monitored for long-term
storage (Ghini et al., 2019).
These results obtained for urine, serum, and plasma derive from the activities
performed under the EC founded project SPIDIA (FP7, #222916), and have been
the basis for the production of technical specifications for the preanalytical processes for NMR metabolomics in urine, venous blood serum, and plasma published by CEN (CEN/TS 16945:2016) (Bernini et al., 2011; Molecular in Vitro
Diagnostic Examinations—Specifications for Pre-Examination Processes for
Metabolomics in Urine, Venous Blood Serum, & Plasma., 2016). This document
is now in the process of being translated into ISO/IS specifications (ISO/DIS
23118) (Molecular in Vitro Diagnostic Examinations—Specifications for PreExamination Processes in Metabolomics in Urine, Venous Blood Serum, &
Plasma, 2020) as part of the activities of the EC founded project SPIDIA4P
(H2020, #733112), and these recommendations have been adopted by some biobanks (Carotenuto et al., 2015; Marcon & Nincheri, 2014).
Saliva is an interesting biofluid that, although less exploited than blood and
urine, has demonstrated potentially useful applications in recent years (Aimetti
et al., 2012; Romano et al., 2018, 2019). For this reason, a recent paper (Duarte,
Castro et al., 2020) reported an untargeted NMR metabolomics study to assess
the effects of different storage temperatures and times on saliva composition. The
authors showed that, after collection, saliva may be kept at 22 C or 4 C for up to
6 hours, after which some metabolite levels start to change, especially at 22 C.
For longer periods, saliva is stable at 220 C for at least 4 weeks (Duarte, Castro
et al., 2020).

The composition of CSF, a secretion product of the central nervous system,
indirectly reflects the biochemical processes occurring in the brain (Albrecht
et al., 2020). Thus CSF metabolomics has received much attention in the research
of neurological disorders including Alzheimer’s disease (Vignoli et al., 2020),
Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis and brain injury, amongst others. Optimal
procedures for the collection and biobanking of CSF for clinical purposes have
been proposed by Teunissen et al. (2009). These procedures are not specifically
developed or validated for NMR metabolomics. However, according to a paper of
the Metabolomic Society Initiative (Kirwan et al., 2018), these recommendations
could be used for metabolomics with minor changes, including a centrifugation
step (2000 g for 10 minutes at 4 C) before storage to remove and prevent cell
lysis on thawing. In any case, further systematic validations are still needed.
Unfortunately, for many other potentially interesting biofluids (e.g., sweat,
tears, sperm, vaginal fluid, synovial fluid, breast milk) specific SOPs for metabolomics investigations are not yet established. In these cases, the recommendation
(Kirwan et al., 2018) is that, in the absence of specific studies and until proper
validations, the procedures should be based on existing clinical protocols, reasonably adapted following similar metabolomics research.
Summary and future perspectives
The Human Genome Project (19932003) was termed as one of “the great feats of
exploration in history.” Even if officially “complete,” it is still active in thousands
of laboratories around the world delivering new data with an estimated 60 million
human genomes available in the coming years (Birney et al., 2017; Langmead &
Nellore, 2018). Genomics, which depicts in detail genotypes, gave birth to transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and single-cell-omics techniques that define
phenotypes. Presently high-resolution imaging, electronic health and medical
records, “big-data” analytics, and numerous internet-connected health devices have
the potential to combine all into a far clearer picture of a “human being.”
Innovative cloud systems maintain and allow access to “-omics,” collaborating
with other relevant clinical data sources in a secure manner. A standardized meta/
data format could vastly simplify data sharing and increase the findability
(Aarestrup et al., 2020) of key results. NMR, with its high reproducibility and
standard data output, fits perfectly with the cloud data-storage concept. Matching
genotypes with phenotypes and environmental factors is a complicated process, in
which metabolomics has a fundamental role. In the future, the analysis of metabolites related to the aging process, virus and bacteria pathologies, ingested drugs
and food, and climate changing factors (e.g., pCO2, temperature) will define better pathologies and therapies.
Applying these ideas with information and communication technology-based
medicine will permit the monitoring of the changes in the metabolome and the
deviations from an individual baseline. Medical doctors and supporting staff can

follow the development of diseases and subsequent response(s) to developed therapies. Of course, genomic and other omic information will need to be recorded
and integrated in the “virtual patient” description (Bertini et al., 2012). Because
of its simplicity and minimal sample processing, NMR is ideally suited for systems medicine applications (Dos Santos et al., 2020), profiling blood and tissue
samples collected in the operating theater can provide almost real time information to the surgeons and to clinicians (Nicholson et al., 2012).
Although NMR spectroscopy has the limitation of intrinsically low sensitivity,
the continuous development of NMR methods, probes, and ultra-high magnetic
fields along with new hyperpolarization methods may alleviate many of NMR’s
limitations. Moreover, recent developments of computer power, related molecular
identification software, and metabolomics databases will facilitate more applications of NMR-based metabolomics in a wider range of research areas.

NON-PRINT ITEM
Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is one of the most common and powerful
techniques used in metabolomics. The inherent quantitative, nondestructive, and
nonbiased properties, together with minimal sample preparation/manipulation
make NMR a potent approach to any investigative metabolic study involving biological systems. NMR spectroscopy offers several unique monitoring opportunities such as extremely high reproducibility, relatively short experiment times, a
wide range of available experiments (e.g., multidimensional and multinuclear
based), and advanced highly automated robotic sample handling/exchange technologies enabling potentially hundreds of samples per instrument in a single day.
In this chapter, we highlight the primary advantages and limitations of NMR
spectroscopy, introduce the most commonly applied NMR experiments in metabolomics, and review some of the recent advances with selected examples of
novel applications, such as high-resolution magic-angle spinning for tissue samples, and pure shift NMR method as an example of a promising new approach
that can be used to overcome the overlapping of 1D NMR spectra. The main
advantages of NMR spectroscopy with a particular focus on reproducibility are
also presented.
