Description In this study, the effect of copper on wedelolactone cytotoxicity towards breast cancer cells was examined. To monitor copper loading of cells, SALD ICP-MS (substrate assisted laser desorption inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry) and conventional nebulizing ICP-MS analysis were used. The SALD technique provided direct and fast analysis of liquid samples in the form of dried droplets with minimal sample preparation and sub-microliter sample volume requirement. Furthermore, the SALD allowed direct analysis of samples in organic solvents, which could not be directly nebulised to ICP-MS. The experiments showed that copper chelation can drastically reduce wedelolactone cytotoxicity.
