摘要
The application of electrospray ionization (ESI) ion trap mass spectrometry in the characterization of O-glucuronide conjugates of some drugs in urine is described. The conjugated metabolites formed in rabbit and human were separated by reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) and characterized by multi-stage mass spectrometry (MSn) experiments in negative ion mode. The ESI mass spectra showed a deprotonated molecule [M-H](-), which was chosen as precursor ion. Collision-induced dissociation (CID) of [M-H](-) in MSn experiments resulted in the appearance of glucuronate 'fingerprint' ions at m/z 175 and 113 as well as prominent aglycone ions which were the same as those produced from authentic specimens. This information can be used to identify this type of compound directly without the need for derivatization or hydrolysis of enzymes, providing a rapid and specific method for guiding the isolation and characterization of similar compounds in complex matrices with LC/MS.
