  1. Mass Spectrometry Quantitative Mass Spectrometry Chiral Mass Spectrometry

  2. Quantitation by MS • Goal is to develop methodology to sensitively, specifically, accurately and rapidly measure one or more compounds in a sample • LCMS and GCMS are well suited to achieve this goals

  3. External Standards • Standard curve: best when sample matrix is uncomplicated and when only one analyte is to be quantitated. Need linear instrument response. • Standard addition: same considerations as standard curve, but better when matrix is complicated. • In either case it is necessary to add a known amount of an internal standard that can be used to account for sample handling variations. (losses during preparations, variations in injection volume, etc.)

  4. Isotopically Labeled Internal Standards • Add a known quantity of isotopically labeled internal standard, quantitate analyte by peak area ratio • Need isotopically labeled standard(s) (13C, 15N) that can be well resolved from the isotope peaks of the analyte (+4 amu or more) • Need to avoid 1° KIEs that will cause the analyte and standard to have different retention times. • More efficient than external standard methods: • eliminates need for separate analysis of standards. • multiple analytes can be rapidly quantitated. • Corrects for sample handling variations, instrument variations and matrix effects.

  5. Mass Spec Scans • Any mass spectrometer/scan type can be used for quantitation, however: • Quantitation by GCMS is usually done by sector instruments or single quads using selected ion monitoring (SIM) of parent/ fragment ions • SIM is 1000x more sensitive than full scan • For LCMS, the triple quadrupole mass spectrometer has significant advanatges • MS/MS can be used to increase specificity • The MRM scan performed by a triple quad is the highest duty cycle scan available and is especially useful for quantitating multiple analytes in a complex matrix

  6. GC/MS of Dioxin • Routine EPA method uses high resolution magnetic sector operated in SIM mode. • For each compound of Interest, several EI fragment/parent ions analyzed • SIM window can be very narrow with sector • peak ratios must match expected values • Isotopically labeled (per 13C) dioxins are used as internal standards

  7. Quantitation of Modified Tyrosineby LC/MS • Levels of Nitration, Chlorination, and Bromination of Tyrosine in Biological systems may correspond to inflammation/disease. • LC/MS/MS can be used as a tool to quantitate levels of each modification. • Hazen et. al. J. Biol. Chem., 277(20), 17415-17427, (2002)

  10. MRM transitions

  11. Stereospecific Mass Spectrometry • To observe chiral specificity in MS • need an optically active probe reagent • reagent must differentially complex to analyte • reaction can occur in the source or analyzer • Two primary methods • Two enantiomers with different isotopic labels • Only useful for determining selectivity (screening) • MS/MS of diastereomeric complexes • Can be used to determine %ee

  12. Gas-Phase Ion Structure • Can chiral selectivity be observed in the gas-phase? • First observation was by Fales et. al. • JACS, 99(7), 2339-2340, (1977) Racemic mixture of labeled/unlabeled D/L enantiomers Ratio of protonated dimers was 1:1:1, not 1:2:1

  13. Chiral Crown Ether Host-Guest Chemistry • Sawada et. al. JACS, 117, 7726-7736, (1995) • Used FAB to determine chiral selectivity of various crown ethers towards amino acids Mixture of labeled/ unlabeled amino acid enantiomers 5:1 selectivity for one enantiomer

  14. Thermochemical Measurement of Selectivity • Dearden et. al JACS, 115, 4318-4320, (1993) • Measured equilibrium constant for chiral host guest reaction in the gas phase (FT-ICR-MS) KR=130 KS=567 ∆G=4.2kJ/mol ∆G in CH2Cl2=4.6

  15. Kinetic Evidence of Chirality • Lebrilla et. al. JACS, 118, 8751-8752, (1996) • Reaction of multiply-charged ions of cytochrome c with R and S enantiomers of 2-butylamine • Multiple rate constants measured, indicating several reactive sites of deprotonation (or multiple conformations of the protein) • All rates were ~10x faster for the R enantiomer

  16. Requirements for Chiral MS Methodto Determine %ee • Employs instruments which are commercially and broadly available • Experimental protocol should be simple • Isotopic labeling should not be required • Large chiral selectivity is desired to achieve accurate quantitation • Two kinetic methods have emerged

  17. Host-Guest Exchange Reaction • Lebrilla et. al. Anal. Chem., 73, 1684-1691, (2001) • Used cyclodextrins of varying sizes to form complexes with chiral amino acids and pharmaceuticals • Diastereomeric complexes were isolated by FT-ICR and allowed to react with various bases • Calibration curve can be constructed for a compound, then one measurement can determine %ee of mixture

  18. Chiral Selectivity in Host-Guest Exchange L-DOPA Exchanges 5x faster than D Has been extended to other drugs (amphetamine, ephedrine, etc.) analysis on FTMS and Ion Trap

  19. Kinetic Method Using CID • Cooks et. al. Anal. Chem., 73, 1692-1698, (2001) • Formed Diastereomeric Cu(II) complexes of amino acids and pharmaceuticals by ESI • Isolated desired complex in an ion trap • Subsequent fragmentation yields loss of amino acid or drug. • Fragment ratio depends on stereochemistry of analyte.

  20. Kinetic Method for Determination of %ee • Product Ratio is Determined by Configuration of A. • Calibration Curve yields %ee of unknowns with 2-4% error • Method has been used for amino acids, drugs, and sugars
