Application of Mass Spectrometry and Chromatography–Mass Spectrometry in Drug Analysis

The review is devoted to the use of mass spectrometry and chromatography–mass spectrometry in various areas of pharmaceutical chemistry. The role of the above techniques in the structural identification of impurities in drug preparations and in the determination of the biotransformation behavior of pharmaceuticals in human and animal bodies is shown. The inactivation of drugs under the action of external factors (oxidation by atmospheric oxygen and the effects of moisture, heat, and light) is illustrated. The use of various ionization techniques and the spectra of metastable ions for determining the structures of components of biologically active substances are exemplified.     

Temperature-programmed Desorption Mass Spectrometry

Temperature-programmed desorption mass spectrometry (TPD MS) is discussed with reference to studies of modified pyrogenic oxides. Simple theoretical models are presented in order to allow an approximate analytical treatment of TPD MS data. The formulae for rate constant are presented for first-, second- and third-order reactions. Products of thermal decomposition of carbonized surface layer are observed and identified. The different pathways of uni- and bimolecular desorption were investigated by temperature-programmed desorption mass spectrometry. The rate constants of reactions were derived from TPD MS measurements. Applications of TPD MS to investigation of endocrine disruptors fate and formations on the solid aerosol surface are discussed. This revised version was published online in August 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

Field Desorption Mass Spectrometry

Field desorption (FD) enables mass-spectrometric investigation of large organic molecules without their vaporization. The present state of our theoretical understanding of the ionization of these molecules in the adsorbed state on organic emitters is described. The special problems of the technique and prospective developments in the apparatus for future analytical problems are outlined. The present progress report concentrates on analytical studies of biochemical model compounds and degradation products from environmental chemicals and drugs. The method is particularly suitable for the detection and identification of submicrogram quantities of underivatized polar substances present in complex mixtures or pre-purified extracts from biological materials.     

Digital Imaging Mass Spectrometry

Methods to visualize the two-dimensional (2D) distribution of molecules by mass spectrometric imaging evolve rapidly and yield novel applications in biology, medicine, and material surface sciences. Most mass spectrometric imagers acquire high mass resolution spectra spot-by-spot and thereby scan the object’s surface. Thus, imaging is slow and image reconstruction remains cumbersome. Here we describe an imaging mass spectrometer that exploits the true imaging capabilities by ion optical means for the time of flight mass separation. The mass spectrometer is equipped with the ASIC Timepix chip as an array detector to acquire the position, mass, and intensity of ions that are imaged by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) directly from the target sample onto the detector. This imaging mass spectrometer has a spatial resolving power at the specimen of (84 ± 35) μm with a mass resolution of 45 and locates atoms or organic compounds on a surface area up to ~2 cm². Extended laser spots of ~5 mm² on structured specimens allows parallel imaging of selected masses. The digital imaging mass spectrometer proves high hit-multiplicity, straightforward image reconstruction, and potential for high-speed readout at 4 kHz or more. This device demonstrates a simple way of true image acquisition like a digital photographic camera. The technology may enable a fast analysis of biomolecular samples in near future.     

Boundaries of Mass Resolution in Native Mass Spectrometry

Over the last two decades, native mass spectrometry (MS) has emerged as a valuable tool to study intact proteins and noncovalent protein complexes. Studied experimental systems range from small-molecule (drug)–protein interactions, to nanomachineries such as the proteasome and ribosome, to even virus assembly. In native MS, ions attain high m/z values, requiring special mass analyzers for their detection. Depending on the particular mass analyzer used, instrumental mass resolution does often decrease at higher m/z but can still be above a couple of thousand at m/z 5000. However, the mass resolving power obtained on charge states of protein complexes in this m/z region is experimentally found to remain well below the inherent instrument resolution of the mass analyzers employed. Here, we inquire into reasons for this discrepancy and ask how native MS would benefit from higher instrumental mass resolution. To answer this question, we discuss advantages and shortcomings of mass analyzers used to study intact biomolecules and biomolecular complexes in their native state, and we review which other factors determine mass resolving power in native MS analyses. Recent examples from the literature are given to illustrate the current status and limitations.

Preparative Mass Spectrometry Using a Rotating-Wall Mass Analyzer

The design of functional interfaces is central to both fundamental and applied research in materials science and energy technology. We introduce a new, broadly applicable technique for the precisely controlled high-throughput preparation of well-defined interfaces containing polyatomic species ranging from small ions to nanocrystals and large protein complexes. The mass-dispersive deposition of ions onto surfaces is achieved using a rotating-wall mass analyzer, a compact device which enables the separation of ions using low voltages and has a theoretically unlimited mass range. We demonstrate an efficient deposition of singly charged Au₁₄₄(SC₄H₉)₆₀ ions (33.7 kDa), which opens up exciting opportunities for the structural characterization of nanocrystals and their assemblies using transmission electron microscopy. Our approach also enables the high-throughput deposition of mass-selected ions from multicomponent mixtures, which is of interest to the controlled preparation of surface gradients and rapid screening of molecules in mixtures for a specific property.
