  1. Expect the unexpectedAn example of how unanticipated fragmentation behaviour could preclude correct assignment of sites of metabolism Stephen W. Holman 8th September 2008 swh01@soton.ac.uk

  2. Outline • Project background • Experimental • Results and discussion • Conclusions • Acknowledgements 2

  3. Project background • Based upon Wright et al., RCM, 2005, 19, 2005-2014 • Radical losses observed from sulfoxides • Allows rapid and definitive identification of site and type of metabolism • Aim is to identify similar interpretation tools • Paper published in RCM, 2008, 22, 2355-2365 3

  4. Experimental • Solutions prepared in HCOOH:MeOH (0.1:99.9, v/v) or CH3COOD:MeOD (1:99, v/v) • 1o µg mL-1 for QIT-MS experiments (LCQ Classic) • 1 µg mL-1 for FT-ICR-MS experiments (Apex III) • Direct infusion at 3 µL min-1 into ESI source • Product ion spectra of [M + H]+ or [M + D]+ acquired 4

  10. Proposed mechanism for the loss of 62 m/z units

  14. Proposed mechanism for loss of C2H10N2 14

  19. 340 257 * = 17 m/z units [M + D – 46 m/z units]+ 242 340 276 [M + D – 46 m/z units]+ Absence of product ion at m/z 321 Absence of product ion at m/z321 [M + D – 63 m/z units]+ 323 [M + D – 63 m/z units]+ 262 - 17 m/z units 323 325 322 * 2nd gen. prod. ion spec. of fully exchanged, deuterated metabolite • Protonation at tertiary amine • m/z 323 formed viam/z 340 i.e.m/z 321 with two exchangeable hydrogen atoms formed via protonation at tertiary amine and loss of dimethylamine • Hydroxyl radical loss involves a non-exchangeable hydrogen atom • m/z 321 not formed viam/z 340 i.e.m/z 321 with no exchangeable hydrogen atoms does not protonate at the tertiary amine m/z 323 m/z 321

  20. Conclusions • S-oxidation can significantly change the fragmentation of a compound • Fragmentation under CID conditions difficult to predict • Extensive experimentation required to fully understand dissociation • Can not assign site of metabolism confidently without rigorous analytical approach • HDX experiments particularly useful for determining sites of protonation and elucidating different dissociation pathways
