The excretion profiles obtained by HPLC-Q-Orbitrap-MS were in good agreement with quantitative HPLC-QqQ-MS data. For the newly discovered metabolites, plausible excretion profiles, similar to the ones of the known metabolites, were obtained. The presented approach proved to be successful for metabolite screening in urine samples after low-dose exposure and will be applied in future human metabolism studies for a fast, reliable and cost effective identification of specific biomarkers of exposure.
