The negative-ions of N-phosphoryl amino acids were studied by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). The negative-ion ESI-MS/MS of N-phosphoryl amino acids showed characteristic fragmentation patterns different from those observed in the corresponding positive-ion ESI-MS/MS and negative-ion fast-atom bombardment mass spectra. For negative-ion ESI-MS/MS, a unique fragmentation from the N-terminal of N-phosphoryl amino acids or peptides containing a free beta-OH or CO(2)H group was observed to yield the characteristic fragment ion (RO)(2)P(O)O(-). The ease of the rearrangement depended on the position of the hydroxyl group in amino acids or peptides, and the N --> O rearrangement mechanism was proposed to involve the participation of the hydroxyl group. From previous solution-phase experiments and theoretical calculations, it was found that the beta-OH group was more active than gamma-OH, and the corresponding difference in negative-ion ESI-MS/MS was consistent with those previous findings.  相似文献

The synthesis of two novel dendritic aluminum and zinc quinolates, which are soluble in common solvents, was monitored effectively by positive ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). Through tandem mass spectrometric analysis of the complexes, distinct fragmentation pathways for sodium adduct molecular ion [M+Na]+ and protonated molecular ion [M+H]+ were observed.  相似文献

Positive ion mass spectral fragmentation of new N-carbamoyl/N-thiocarbamoyl derivatives of narcotine and compounds closely related to it are reported and discussed. The techniques used include electron impact (EI), fast-atom bombardment (FAB), matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS). Prominent peaks in the mass spectra of these compounds appear to involve C-C bond cleavage beta to the amine nitrogen with loss of the 4,5-dimethoxy(1H)isobenzofuranone moiety from their molecular ions, along with another prominent peak at m/z 382. No molecular ion peaks of these compounds were recorded in EI, whereas intense [M + H]+ ion peaks were observed in FAB and ESI spectra. MALDI also yielded [M + H]+ ion peaks in good agreement with FAB and ESI studies.  相似文献

The metabolism of limonin 17-beta-D-glucopyranoside (LG) by non-cancerous (RWPE-1) and cancerous (PC-3) human prostate epithelial cells was investigated using high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) with in-source fragmentation and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). During positive ion LC/ESI-MS, LG formed an abundant sodiated species ([M+Na]+) while the protonated molecule was barely observable. [M+Na]+ further fragmented into the less abundant [LARL+H]+ and a predominantly protonated aglycone molecule (limonin) due to in-source fragmentation. The major metabolite, limonin A-ring lactone (LARL), formed an abundant protonated molecule that was fragmented into a protonated molecule of limonin by loss of one molecule of water. In MS/MS by collisionally activated dissociation (CAD), LG produced the sodiated aglycone, [aglycone+Na]+, while LARL fragmented into [M+H]+ of limonin and fragment ions resulted by further loss of water, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide, indicating the presence of oxygenated-ring structures. The limits of detection of LG were 0.4 and 20 fmol in selected-ion monitoring (SIM) and selected-reaction monitoring (SRM) detection, respectively.  相似文献

A non-covalent-bonded dimer was detected in the positive ion electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectra of a synthetic impurity. In tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) experiments using collision-induced dissociation (CID), the ion was found to behave as a [M+H]+-type precursor ion for fragmentation until MS5. The dimer was probably formed through multi-hydrogen bonds over a proton bridge. When the fragmentation occurred at the center of the bridge, the dimer was broken apart to give monomer fragments at MS6. However, no corresponding deprotonated dimer [2M-H]- was found in the negative ion ESI spectra. The dimer was extremely stable, and it could still be observed when a fragmentation voltage of up to 50 V was applied in the ionisation source. The formation of the non-covalent dimer was also found to be instrument-dependent, but independent of sample concentration. Accurate mass measurements of the [2M+H]+ and [M+H]+ ions, and their MSn product ions, provided the basis for assessing the fragmentation mechanism proposed for [2M+H]+. The fragmentation pathway was also illustrated for the deprotonated molecule [M-H]-.  相似文献

Novel steroidal phosphoramidate conjugates of 3'-azido-2',3'-dideoxythymidine(AZT)and amino acid esterswere synthesized and determined by positive and negative ion electrospray ionization mass spectrometry.The MSfragmentation behaviors of the steroidal phosphoramidate conjugates have been investigated in conjunction withtandem mass spectrometry of ESI-MS/MS.There were three characteristic fragment ions in the positive ion ESImass spectra,which were the Na adduct ions with loss of steroidal moiety,amino acid ester moiety from pseudomolecular ion(M Na)~ ,and the phosphoamino acid methyl ester Na adduct ion by α-cleavage of the phosphora-midate respectively.The main fragment ions in negative ion ESI mass spectra were the ion(M-HN_3)~-,the ion(M-AZT-H)~-,and the ion(M-steroidal moiety-H)~- besides the pseudo molecular ion(M-H)~-.Thefragmentation patterns did not depend on the attached amino acid ester moiety.  相似文献

The mass spectrometric (MS) and tandem mass spectrometric (MS/MS) behavior of six nitrocatechol-type glucuronides using atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) and electrospray ionization (ESI) was systematically studied, and the effect of operation parameters on the fragmentations are presented. The positive ion APCI- and ESI-MS spectra showed an intense protonated molecule and the respective negative ion spectra a deprotonated molecule with minimal fragmentation. The main fragment ions in the MS/MS spectra of the protonated and deprotonated molecules were [M + H - Glu]+ and [M - H - Glu]-, respectively, formed by the loss of the glucuronide moiety. The measured limits of detection indicated that ESI is a significantly more efficient ionization method than APCI in the negative and positive ion modes for the compounds studied. MS/MS was found to be less sensitive, but more reliable and simple than MS due to the absence of chemical noise.  相似文献

The fragmentation behavior of taxoids was studied using electrospray (ESI) and atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) sources with multi-stage tandem mass spectrometry. In the positive ion mode taxoids gave prominent [M+Na]+ and [M+K]+ ions with the ESI source, and [M+NH4]+ or [M+H]+ ions with the APCI source. The MS/MS fragmentations of ions produced by APCI and ESI sources were very similar. For both sources, the presence of cinnamoyl or benzoyl groups could be characterized by initial losses of 148 or 122 u, respectively, from molecular adduct ions. However, the elimination of cinnamic acid was relatively difficult for the molecular adduct ions formed by APCI, and was comparable in importance to the loss of acetic acid. The other fragments involved losses of CH2CO, CO, and H2O. The 5/7/6 type taxoids underwent characteristic losses of 58 or 118 u from ions produced by both APCI and ESI sources. The fragmentation behavior was remarkably influenced by substitution locations. The elimination of the C-10 benzoyl group was usually the first fragmentation step, while that of the C-2 benzoyl group was relatively difficult. The acetoxyl group at C-7 was more active than those at C-2, C-9, and C-10, which in turn were more active than that at C-4. These fragmentation rules could facilitate the rapid screening and structural characterization of taxoids in plant extracts by high-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS).  相似文献

Several alkyl 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxythymidin-5'-yl H-phosphonates were synthesized and analyzed by electrospray ionization multistage tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS(n)). Two kinds of novel benzyl rearrangement reactions were observed in ESI - MS(2) of [M + H](+), [M + Na](+) and [M + K](+) of benzyl 2',3'-didehydro-2',3'-dideoxythymidin-5' yl H-phosphonate. Results from tandem mass spectrometry, high-resolution mass spectrometry and control experiments showed that the benzyl migration could undergo a four-membered cyclic rearrangement reaction, and benzyl was essential in the process.  相似文献

Phosphatidylethanolamines (PEs) are one of the major constituents of cellular membranes, and, along with other phospholipid classes, have an essential role in the physiology of cells. Profiling of phospholipids in biological samples is currently done using mass spectrometry (MS). In this work we describe the MS fragmentation of sodium adducts of 2-oleoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (POPE) and 2-linoleoyl-1-palmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphatidylethanolamine (PLPE). This study was performed by electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS/MS) using three different instruments and also by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization tandem mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS/MS). All MS/MS spectra show product ions related to the polar head fragmentation and product ions related to the loss of acyl chains. In ESI-MS/MS spectra, the product ions [M+Na-R1COOH-43]+ and [M+Na-R2COOH-43]+ show different relative abundance, as well as [M+Na-R1COOH]+ and [M+Na-R2COOH]+ product ions, allowing identification of both fatty acyl residues of PEs, and their specific location. MALDI-MS/MS shows the same product ions reported before and other ions generated by charge-remote fragmentation of the C3-C4 bond (gamma-cleavage) of fatty acyl residues combined with loss of 163 Da. These fragment ions, [M+Na-(R2-C2H3)-163]+ and [M+Na-(R1-C2H3)-163]+, show different relative abundances, and the product ion formed by the gamma-cleavage of sn-2 is the most abundant. Overall, differences noted that are important for identification and location of fatty acyl residues in the glycerol backbone are: relative abundance between the product ions [M+Na-R1COOH-43]+ > [M+Na-R2COOH-43]+ in ESI-MS/MS spectra; and relative abundance between the product ions [M+Na-(R2-C2H3)-163]+ > [M+Na-(R1-C2H3)-163]+ in MALDI-MS/MS spectra.  相似文献

Pregnane glycosides are a class of naturally occurring substances characterized by some interesting biological activities and widely distributed in the plant kingdom and in some marine organisms. Their toxicity and use in herbal drugs and folk medicines has generated great interest in the chemical characterization of these molecules. In the study reported here the potential of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in the identification and structural characterization of pregnane glycosides was examined. ESI-MS/MS and ESI-MS(n) analyses were performed on 27 different compounds employing two mass spectrometers equipped with a triple-quadrupole or an ion-trap analyzer. The data illustrate the ability of the ESI techniques in the identification of pregnane glycosides, including the nature of the pregnane core, the kind of ester substituents, the types of sugar residues (hexose, deoxyhexose, dideoxyhexose, O-methyldeoxyhexose and O-methyldideoxyhexose), and the primary structure of the saccharide chain. From these data, a generalized fragmentation pathway was proposed by comparing the spectra acquired for all the compounds. Interestingly, similar results were obtained from the two instruments, thus demonstrating that detailed analyses of product ion spectra obtained using a triple-quadrupole mass spectrometer led to structural information comparable to those obtainable in MSn experiments using an ion trap. Different and complementary information was deduced by fragmenting the [M+H]+ or the [M+Na]+ ions, or the protonated aglycone [Agl+H]+ generated by in-source fragmentation. The present evidence clearly suggests that, in order to obtain a complete characterization of pregnane glycosides by MS, all three of these species should be accurately analyzed.  相似文献

Swertia chirata is a bitter plant, used in the Indian system of medicine (Ayurveda) for various human ailments. The bioactive constituents include the xanthone and secoiridoid glycosides consisting of mangiferin, amarogentin, amaroswerin, sweroside and swertiamarin. Methanolic extracts of S. chirata possess constituents with antidiabetic activities, which was investigated by high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS/MS). Preliminary HPLC analyses were performed on a reversed-phase C18 column using gradient elution. In the LC/ESI-MS spectra, predominant [M+H]+ and [M+Na]+ ions were observed in positive ion mode and provided molecular mass information. The five components of S. chirata were structurally correlated and confirmed based on the fragmentation characteristics and information available in the literature. The fragmentation behavior of [M+H]+/[M+Na]+ ions of these components were deduced from the collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra obtained from the selective on-column information-dependant acquisition (IDA) approach. Xanthone-C-glycoside showed characteristic fragment ions due to fragmentation in the C-glycosidic unit while iridoid-O-glycosides showed characteristic fragment ions due to cleavage in the glycoside linkage and retro-Diels-Alder (RDA) cleavage within an iridoid aglycone. Furthermore, on the basis of this information, an analytical assay was developed and validated to determine relative concentrations of mangiferin, amarogentin, amaroswerin, sweroside and swertiamarin. The detection was carried out using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) in positive ionization mode with a total analysis time of 3.5 min. The method was successfully applied to standardize four different batches of herbal preparation on the basis of relative concentration of five bioactive components.  相似文献

Mass spectroscopic characteristics of phosphoryl amino acids were studied in detail by positive and negative electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Besides N-diisopropyloxyphosphoryl amino acids (N-DIPP-AA), O-phospho- and O-diisopropyloxyphosphoryl amino acids (O-DIPP-AA) were studied and compared to N-DIPP-AA. The fragmentation pathways of [M H]^ ,[M Na]^ and [M-H]^- ions of phosphoryl amino acids were summarized. In addition to several similar patterns, each of them showed its characteristic fragmention.  相似文献

Liquid chromatography/electrospray ionisation mass spectrometry (LC/ESI-MS) has been employed to identify carotenoid esters present in raw organic extracts of pigmented freshwater microalgae and to gain structural information on these compounds. In particular, acyl carotenoid derivatives of Haematococcus pluvialis and Euglena sanguinea have been characterised by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in a quadrupole ion trap. ESI-MS/MS allows recognition of the presence of carotenoid esters in complicated mixtures without any initial chromatographic work-up and without the need to use UV-Vis photo-diode array (PDA) detectors. Product ion scans of the [M + Na]+ ion lead to known neutral losses of the C7H8 and C8H10 residues from the conjugated polyene moiety of the carotenoid unit, that permit the unambiguous identification of the carotenoid itself. These structurally relevant ions are not observed in positive or negative ion APCI (atmospheric pressure chemical ionisation) mass spectra. Moreover, the several product ions observed in positive and/or negative ion ESI-MS/MS not only are a diagnostic signature of the main structural features of the acyl chains such as length, position and unsaturation, but also display the nominal mass of the parent xanthophyll. Our methodology has been validated (i) by using esters of astaxanthin obtained from off-line purification of the H. pluvialis extracts and structurally elucidated through proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR) spectroscopy and (ii) by product analysis of esters by alkaline hydrolysis. The characterisation of the unknown carotenoid esters of E. sanguinea is a demonstration of the capabilities of this methodology.  相似文献

We have acquired multi-stage mass spectra (MSn) of four branched N-glycans derived from human serum IgG by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization quadrupole ion trap time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-QIT-TOF-MS) in order to demonstrate high sensitivity structural analysis. [M+H]+ and [M+Na]+ ions were detected in the positive mode. The detection limit of [M+Na]+ in MS/MS and MS3 measurements for structural analysis was found to be 100 fmol, better than that for [M+H]+. The [M+H]+ ions subsequently fragmented to produce predominantly a Y series of fragments, whereas [M+Na]+ ions fragmented to give a complex mixture of B and Y ions together with some cross-ring fragments. Three features of MALDI-QIT-CID fragmentation of [M+Na]+ were cleared by the analysis of MS/MS, MS3 and MS4 spectra: (1) the fragment ions resulting from the breaking of a bond are more easily generated than that from multi-bond dissociation; (2) the trimannosyl-chitobiose core is either hardly dissociated, easily ionized or it is easy to break a bond between N-acetylglucosamine and mannose; (3) the fragmentation by loss of only galactose from the non-reducing terminus is not observed. We could determine the existence ratios of candidates for each fragment ion in the MS/MS spectrum of [M+Na]+ by considering these features. These results indicate that MSn analysis of [M+Na]+ ions is more useful for the analysis of complicated oligosaccharide structures than MS/MS analysis of [M+H]+, owing to the higher sensitivity and enhanced structural information. Furthermore, two kinds of glycans, with differing branch structures, could be distinguished by comparing the relative fragment ion abundances in the MS3 spectrum of [M+Na]+. These analyses demonstrate that the MSn technology incorporated in MALDI-QIT-TOF-MS can facilitate the elucidation of structure of complex branched oligosaccharides.  相似文献

In this study we evaluated the fragmentation pattern of 16 novel amphiphilic neoglycolipid cholesteryl derivatives that can be efficiently used to increase cationic liposomal stability and to enhance gene transfer ability. These neoglycolipids bear different sugar moieties, such as D-glucosamine, N-acetyl-D-glucosamine, N-trideuterioacetyl-D-glucosamine, N-acetyllactosamine, L-fucose, N-allyloxycarbonyl-D-glucosamine, and some of their per-O-acetylated derivatives. Regardless of the structure of the tested neoglycolipid, QqToF-MS analysis using electrospray ionization (ESI) source showed abundant protonated [M+H]+ species. We also identified by both QqToF-MS and low-energy collision tandem mass spectrometry (CID-MS/MS) of the [M+H]+ ion, the presence of specific common fingerprint fragment ions: [Cholestene]+, sugar [oxonium]+, [(Sugar-spacer-OH)+H]+, [oxonium-H2O]+, and [(Cholesterol-spacer-OH)+H]+. In addition, we observed a unique ion that could not be rationally explained by the expected fragmentation of these amphiphilic molecules. The structure of this ion was tentatively proposed with that of a C-glycoside species formed by a chemical reaction between the sugar portion and the cholesterol. MS/MS analysis of this unique [C-glycoside]+ confirmed the validity of the proposed structure of this ion. The presence of an amino group at position C-2 and free hydroxyl groups of the sugar motif is crucial for the formation of a "reactive" sugar oxonium ion that can form the [C-glycoside]+ species. In summary, we precisely established the fragmentation patterns of the tested series of neoglycolipid cholesteryl derivatives and authenticated their structure as well; moreover, we speculated on the formation of a C-glycoside with the ESI source under atmospheric pressure and in the collision cell during MS/MS analysis.  相似文献

N‐(3‐Ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 1–4 and N‐(6‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 5–8 were prepared by coupling either 3‐ferrocenylnaphthalene‐2‐carboxylic acid or 6‐ferrocenylnaphthalene‐2‐carboxylic acid to the dipeptide ethyl esters GlyGly(OEt) (1, 5), AlaGly(OEt) (2, 6), GlyPhe(OEt) (3, 7) and GlyLeu(OEt) (4, 8), using the standard N‐(3‐dimethylaminopropyl)‐N'‐ethylcarbodiimide hydrochloride, 1‐hydroxybenzotriazole protocol. Electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI‐MS) and laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (LDI‐MS) were employed in conjunction with tandem mass spectrometry in the analysis of N‐(3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 1–4 and N‐(6‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide ethyl esters 5–8. Radical cations, [M]+? and [M + H]+ species were both observed in the mass spectra. Intense sodium [M + Na]+ and potassium [M + K]+ adducts were also present. An important diagnostic ion at m/z [M–65]+ was observed in both the MS and MS/MS spectra of the N‐(3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide derivatives. Sequence‐specific ions were generally not observed in the MS/MS spectra of the N‐(3‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) series due to formation of the diagnostic [M–65]+ ion. Sequence‐specific ions were observed in the MS/MS spectra of the N‐(6‐ferrocenyl‐2‐naphthoyl) dipeptide esters with charge retention on the derivatized N‐terminal of the dipeptide. Both series of compounds could be successfully analyzed by MALDI without the use of a matrix (LDI). Copyright © 2011 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

爱滋病(AIDS)是一种严重威胁人类健康的传染性疾病。研究和开发新的、高疗效的抗AIDS的药物已成了生物学家、化学家和药物学家的主要的研究方向之一。2',3'-双脱氢.2',3'-双脱氧胸苷(d4T)是HIV逆转录酶抑制剂,它们是美国FDA通过的可用于治疗AIDS的一类药物。由于d4T等本身对HIV无活性,只有经细胞代谢成5'-磷酸化产物后才对HIV产生抑制作用,因此很有必要对d4T进行结构改造,而对上述药物的结构进行改造是研制新的抗AIDS的化学药物最简捷的途径。因此,我们合成了一系列的d41、5'-亚磷酸酯的衍生物,并对它们的电喷雾质谱进行了详细的研究。研究发现了2',3'-双脱氢,2',3'双脱氧胸苷(d4T)-5'-氢亚磷酸苄酯的一种新颖的重排反应,并对其机理进行了进一步的研究。有关结果不仅有助于对这类化合物的结构分析,而且对它们的合成、药物性质以及药物代谢等方面的研究都具有重要意义。  相似文献
