Exploring the chemical profile of designer drugs by ESI(+) and PSI(+) mass spectrometry—An approach on the fragmentation mechanisms and chemometric analysis

The consumption of design drugs, frequently known as new psychoactive substances (NPS), has increased considerably worldwide, becoming a severe issue for the responsible governmental agencies. These illicit substances can be defined as synthetic compounds produced in clandestine laboratories in order to act as analogs of schedule drugs mimetizing its chemical structure and improving its pharmacological effects while hampering the control and making regulation more complicated. In this way, the development of new methodologies for chemical analysis of NPS drugs is indispensable to determine a novel class of drugs arising from the underground market. Therefore, this work shows the use of high‐resolution mass spectrometry Fourier transform ion cyclotron resonance mass spectrometry (FT‐ICR MS) applying different ionization sources such as paper spray ionization (PSI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) in the evaluation of miscellaneous of seized drugs samples as blotter paper (n = 79) and tablet (n = 100). Also, an elucidative analysis was performed by ESI(+)MS/MS experiments, and fragmentation mechanisms were proposed to confirm the chemical structure of compounds identified. Besides, the results of ESI(+) and PSI(+)‐FT‐ICR MS were compared with those of GC–MS, revealing that ESI(+)MS showed greater detection efficiency among the methodologies employed in this study. Moreover, this study stands out as a guide for the chemical analysis of NPS drugs, highlighting the differences between the techniques of ESI(+)‐FT‐ICR MS, PSI(+)‐FT‐ICR MS, and GC–MS.     

Development of an analytical methodology using Fourier transform mass spectrometry to discover new structural analogs of wine natural sweeteners

Volatile and non-volatile molecules are directly responsible for the thrill and excitement provided by wine-tasting. Their elucidation requires powerful analytical techniques and innovative methodologies. In a recent work, two novel sweet compounds called quercotriterpenosides (QTT) were identified in oak wood used for wine-ageing. The aim of the present study is to discover structural analogs of such natural sweeteners in oak wood. For this purpose, an analytical approach was developed as an alternative to chemical synthesis. Orbitrap mass spectrometry proved to be a crucial technique both to demonstrate the presence of QTT analogs in oak wood by targeted screening and to guide the purification pathway of these molecules using complementary chromatographic tools. Four compounds were isolated and identified for the first time: two isomers, one glucosyl derivative and one galloyl derivative of QTT. Their tasting showed that only the two new isomers were sweet, thus demonstrating both the pertinence of the strategy and the influence of functional groups on gustatory properties. Finally, this paper presents some developments involving multistage Fourier transform mass spectrometry (FTMS) to provide solid structural information on these functional groups prior to any purification of compounds. Such analytical developments could be particularly useful for research on taste-active or bio-active products.     

Application of liquid chromatography-ion trap mass spectrometry to the characterization of the 16-membered ring macrolide josamycin propionate

Coupled liquid chromatography and ion trap mass spectrometry (LC/MS) was used for the characterization of the semi-synthetic 16-membered ring macrolide josamycin propionate. On-line identification of impurities in this antibiotic complex was performed with an ion trap mass spectrometer without recourse to time-consuming isolation and purification procedures. Ion trap mass spectrometry is ideally suited to identification of impurities because it provides MSn capability, enabling multiple stages of mass spectrometry to obtain the maximum amount of structural information for a given molecule. The ion trap was used with an electrospray ionization source operated in the positive ion mode or with an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization source operated in the negative ion mode. The identity of the unknown compounds was deduced using the MS/MS and MSn collision-induced dissociation spectra of reference substances or structural analogs as interpretative templates, combined with knowledge about the nature of functional group fragmentation behavior. Given the importance attached to the identification of impurities of unknown identity in pharmaceutical substances, this study is useful for companies producing josamycin propionate. The knowledge of the fragmentation behavior is also of importance in further research on other 16-membered macrolides.

An overview of sample preparation procedures for LC-MS multiclass antibiotic determination in environmental and food samples

Antibiotics are a class of pharmaceuticals that are of great interest due to the large volumes of these substances that are consumed in both human and veterinary medicine, and due to their status as the agents responsible for bacterial resistance. They can be present in foodstuffs and in environmental samples as multicomponent chemical mixtures that exhibit a wide range of mechanisms of action. Moreover, they can be transformed into different metabolites by the action of microorganisms, as well as by other physical or chemical means, resulting in mixtures with higher ecotoxicities and risks to human health than those of the individual compounds. Therefore, there is growing interest in the availability of multiclass methods for the analysis of antimicrobial mixtures in environmental and food samples at very low concentrations. Liquid chromatography (LC) has become the technique of choice for multiclass analysis, especially when coupled to mass spectrometry (LC-MS) and tandem MS (LC-MS²). However, due to the complexity of the matrix, in most cases an extraction step for sample clean-up and preconcentration is required before analysis in order to achieve the required sensitivities. This paper reviews the most recent developments and applications of multiclass antimicrobial determination in environmental and food matrices, emphasizing the practical aspects of sample preparation for the simultaneous extraction of antimicrobials from the selected samples. Future trends in the application of LC-MS-based techniques to multiclass antibiotic analysis are also presented.     

The 'apparent' hydrolysis of alkyl esters during electrospray ionization

Electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectrometry was employed to obtain both molecular weight confirmation and structural information for a series of novel alkenyldiarylmethane (ADAM) analogs. The mass spectral data were intended for use during the structure elucidation of ester hydrolysis products formed during an in vitro metabolism study of a series of novel ADAM analogs. The data on the precursor molecules show the presence of the molecular ion peak, [M+H](+), as well as a peak consistent with the hydrolysis product of the original ester ([MH-ROH+H(2)O](+)). However, chemical ionization mass spectrometry, elemental analysis and (1)H NMR data indicated the presence of only the intact diester compounds, suggesting that the formation of the hydrolysis product was an instrumental artifact, i.e., in-beam hydrolysis during ESI or a result of longer ion residence times of the ion trap mass analyzer.     

Identification of the chemical constituents of Chinese medicine Yi‐Xin‐Shu capsule by molecular feature orientated precursor ion selection and tandem mass spectrometry structure elucidation

The incomplete identification of the chemical components of traditional Chinese medicinal formula has been one of the bottlenecks in the modernization of traditional Chinese medicine. Tandem mass spectrometry has been widely used for the identification of chemical substances. Current automatic tandem mass spectrometry acquisition, where precursor ions were selected according to their signal intensity, encounters a drawback in chemical substances identification when samples contain many overlapping signals. Compounds in minor or trace amounts could not be identified because most tandem mass spectrometry information was lost. Herein, a molecular feature orientated precursor ion selection and tandem mass spectrometry structure elucidation method for complex Chinese medicine chemical constituent analysis was developed. The precursor ions were selected according to their two‐dimensional characteristics of retention times and mass‐to‐charge ratio ranges from herbal compounds, so that all precursor ions from herbal compounds were included and more minor chemical constituents in Chinese medicine were identified. Compared to the conventional automatic tandem mass spectrometry setups, the approach is novel and can overcome the drawback for chemical substances identification. As an example, 276 compounds from the Chinese Medicine of Yi‐Xin‐Shu capsule were identified.
