Abstract: | Liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) were applied to characterize drug metabolites. Although these two methods have overcome the identification and structural characterization of metabolites analysis, they remain time‐consuming processes. In this study, a novel multiple‐stage tandem mass spectrometric method (MSn) was evaluated for identification and characterization of new minor metabolism profiling of penicillin G, one of the β‐lactam antibiotics, in human serum. Seven minor metabolites including five phase I metabolites and two phase II metabolites of penicillin G were identified by using data‐dependent LC/MSn screening in one chromatographic run. The accuracy masses of seven identified metabolites of penicillin G were also confirmed by mass spectral calibration software (MassWorks?). The proposed data‐dependent LC/MSn method is a powerful tool to provide large amounts of the necessary structural information to characterize minor metabolite in metabolism profiling.
