Sensitivity-improved versions of two-dimensional (2D) 13C-1H HSQC (heteronuclear single quantum coherence) and HSQC-TOCSY (HSQC-total correlation spectroscopy) NMR experiments optimized for small biological molecules and their complex mixtures encountered in metabolomics are presented that preserve the magnetization of 1H spins not directly attached to 13C spins. This allows (i) the application of rapid acquisition techniques to substantially shorten measurement time and (ii) their incorporation into supersequences (NOAH-NMR by ordered acquisition using 1H detection) for the compact acquisition of multiple 2D NMR data sets with significant gains in sensitivity, resolution, and/or time. The new pulse sequences, which are demonstrated for both metabolite model mixtures and mouse urine, offer an attractive approach for the efficient measurement of multiple 2D NMR spectra (HSQCsi and/or HSQCsi-TOCSY and TOCSY) of metabolomics samples in a single experiment for the accurate and comprehensive identification and quantitation of metabolites. These new methods bring to bear the advantages of 2D NMR to metabolomics studies with larger cohorts of samples.
