Synthesis and Characterization of a Series of Cationic Porphyrins Having Different Steric Effects

Abstract

A series of cationic porphyrins having only different steric effects and their cobalt complexes were synthesized. The cations of these porphyrins are meso-tetrakis(4-N-propylpyridyl)porphyrin (TPPyP⁴⁺), meso-tetrakis(4-N-ethylpyridyl)porphyrin (TEPyP⁴⁺) and meso-tetrakis(4-N-methylpyridyl)porphyrin (TMPyP⁴⁺), respectively. The anions are I^? (water soluble porphyrins) and ClO₄ ^? (organic solvent soluble porphyrins), respectively. The synthetic cationic porphyrins were characterized by elemental analysis, UV-visible absorption spectra, FTIR, MALDI-TOF-MS and ¹H-NMR spectra.     

Investigation of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins by liquid matrix-assisted laser desorption mass spectrometry

Laser desorption mass spectrometry with liquid matrix-assistance has been used to study a series of selected porphyrins and metalloporphyrins. This work presents the results of using a liquid matrix with fibrous material as the substrate for liquid matrix assisted laser desorption of porphyrins and metalloporphyrins. The liquid matrices used for porphyrin studies were o-nitrophenyl octyl ether (NPOE) and 15-crown-5. The use of a liquid matrix with soft laser ionization enhances molecular ion formation. We also have investigated the use of NPOE as a liquid matrix for identifying mixtures of up to six porphyrins in a single shot spectrum without prior separation. The (M + H)⁺ peak of each metalloporphyrin component in the mixture is clearly indicated in the spectra and no obvious interference effects were observed.     

A fast atom bombardment and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry study of doubly charged porphyrins

In this mass spectrometry (MS) study of doubly charged porphyrin salts, fast atom bombardment (FAB) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) MS techniques are utilized to examine several unique ionic species. The predominant transformation of preformed doubly charged ions in the desorption/ionization mechanism of FAB and MALDI is the result of deprotonation reactions to form singly charged ions of the type [M(2+) - H(+)](+) and of one-electron reductions to form radical cations [M(2+) + e(-)](+.). The dependence of this phenomenon and the formation of a number of additional ionic species on the different matrices and the FAB-matrix additive benzoquinone is examined. The significant analogous behavior of doubly charged porphyrins in FAB- and MALDI-MS leads to the conclusion that one-electron reductions are of distinct relevance in the desorption/ionization mechanism of MALDI.     

Mechanistic aspects of photoinactivation of Candida albicans by exogenous porphyrins

The mechanism of photoinactivation of Candida albicans by 3.5 μM uncharged, cationic or anionic porphyrins under blue light (407-420 nm) was found to be dependent on the uptake of porphyrins into yeast cells, and was also dependent on the presence or absence of proteins in the photosensitization medium. In a very protein-rich medium, a decrease in viability was observed only with the uncharged porphyrin. Photoinactivation by uncharged or cationic porphyrins in a protein-poorer medium resulted in total eradication, whereas no significant decrease was observed with the anionic porphyrin. Phototreatment in PBS resulted in eradication with all three porphyrins. X-ray microanalysis after phototreatment by the uncharged or cationic porphyrins in the protein-poor medium exhibited ion loss, indicating cell-membrane damage. Transmission electron microscopy indicated cellular and chromosomal damage. No ion loss or cell damage was observed in this medium with the anionic porphyrin. The efficiency of photoeradication of C. albicans is dependent on porphyrin uptake, which might lead (upon illumination) to processes that facilitate the formation of reactive oxygen species that damage the cells. Uptake of charged porphyrins is dependent on protein quantity and quality in the photosensitization microenvironment. This fact must be taken into account when using charged photosensitizers.     

Applications of high-pressure liquid chromatography and field desorption mass spectrometry in studies of natural porphyrins and chlorophyll derivatives.

Mixtures of porphyrins derived from natural sources can be readily separated by high-pressure liquid chromatography both analytically and on a preparative scale. A variety of procedures have been developed not only for the esters but also for free acids, and on the analytical scale quantitation is easily achieved by visible absorption. The retention times are largely characteristic of the number of carboxylic acid side chains (or other polar groups) but further information can be obtained by mass spectrometric studies of the various fractions. Field desorption mass spectrometry is particularly useful for this purpose because the emitter wire can be dipped directly into the eluates. The field desorption spectra of porphyrin free acids and esters as well as their metal complexes give essentially molecular ions with little or no fragmentation in most cases, whereas electron-impact mass spectrometry, particularly of free acids, is impeded by the low volatility of porphyrins. Mixtures can also be analysed by field desorption mass spectrometry, and this provides not only a rapid qualitative assessment of the components of a mixture, but also a check on the subsequent chromatographic separations.     

Porphyrin profiles in blood, urine and faeces by HPLC/electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry

A high-resolution high-performance liquid chromatography/electrospray ionization quadrupole time-of-flight tandem mass spectrometry method is described for the analysis of porphyrins in blood, urine and faeces. The gradient elution reversed-phase HPLC system using acetonitrile-methanol-1 m ammonium acetate/acetic acid buffer (pH 5.16) as gradient solvent mixtures was able to separate all porphyrin metabolites, including the type I and type III isomers of uroporphyrin, hepta-, hexa- and penta-carboxylic acid porphyrins and coproporphyrin. The porphyrins were positively identified by the protonated molecules [M+H](+) and further characterized by tandem mass spectrometric analysis with each porphyrin giving a characteristic collisioninduced dissociation product ion spectrum. The mass chromatograms obtained by HPLC/ESI MS are useful for the differential diagnosis of the porphyrias, since each type of porphyria has a typical porphyrin excretion pattern.     

Detection of water-soluble vitamins by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry using porphyrin matrices

The detection of water-soluble vitamins B(1), B(2), B(6), B(12) and C by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS) was attempted by studying 17 porphyrin matrices. Comparative studies of porphyrin matrices, useful mass spectral window, matrix/analyte molar ratio (M/A), ultraviolet-visible absorption characteristics and quantitative results were made. Most porphyrin matrices provide a useful mass spectral window in the low-mass range. The optimal M/A increases with increasing molecular mass of the vitamin. Vitamin B(12) possesses the highest molecular mass and requires a higher M/A. The presence of hydroxyl or carboxyl groups in the porphyrin is an indicator of a useful MALDI matrix. Vitamins B(2) and B(6) were readily ionized upon irradiation with a 337 nm laser without the use of any porphyrin matrix. Improved linearity and sensitivity of the calibration curves were obtained with samples prepared with a constant M/A. The limits of detection and quantitation are at the picomole level. The results indicate that MALDI-TOFMS with porphyrin matrices is a rapid and viable technique for the detection of low molecular mass water-soluble vitamins.     

Mass spectrometric analysis of chain end functionalization in ab initio cationic polymerization

Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) and LC-ESI MS was applied in the analysis of ab initio chain end functionalization in cationic polymerization of isobutyl vinyl ether. Well-resolved mass spectra of vinyl ether oligomers were obtained. The MALDI spectra give information on polymerization and functionalization process, as well as chain end functionality and side reactions occurred in the system.     

Tandem mass spectrometry characteristics of polyester anions and cations formed by electrospray ionization

Electrospray ionization of polyesters composed of isophthalic acid and neopentyl glycol produces carboxylate anions in negative mode and mainly sodium ion adducts in positive mode. A tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) study of these ions in a quadrupole ion trap shows that the collisionally activated dissociation pathways of the anions are simpler than those of the corresponding cations. Charge-remote fragmentations predominate in both cases, but the spectra obtained in negative mode are devoid of the complicating cation exchange observed in positive mode. MS/MS of the Na(+) adducts gives rise to a greater number of fragments but not necessarily more structural information. In either positive or negative mode, polyester oligomers with different end groups fragment by similar mechanisms. The observed fragments are consistent with rearrangements initiated by the end groups. Single-stage ESI mass spectra also are more complex in positive mode because of extensive H/Na substitutions; this is also true for matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI) mass spectra. Hence, formation and analysis of anions might be the method of choice for determining block length, end group structure and copolymer sequence, provided the polyester contains at least one carboxylic acid end group that is ionizable to anions.
