Isomeric Differentiation and Acidic Metabolite Identification by Piperidine-Based Tagging, LC-MS/MS, and Understanding of the Dissociation Chemistries.
We demonstrate a method for facile differentiation of acidic, isomeric metabolites by attaching high proton affinity, piperidine-based chemical tags to each carboxylic acid group. These tags attach with high efficiency to the analytes, increase the signal, and result in the formation of multiply-charged cations. We illustrate the present approach with citrate and isocitrate, which are isomeric metabolites each containing three carboxylic acid groups. We observe a 20-fold increase in signal-to-noise for citrate and an 8-fold increase for isocitrate as compared to detection of the untagged analytes in negative mode. Collision-induced dissociation of the triply tagged, triply charged analytes results in distinct tandem mass spectra. The phenylene spacer groups limit proton mobility and enable access to structurally informative C-C bond cleavage reactions. Modeling of the gas-phase structures and dissociation chemistry of these triply charged analyte ions highlights the importance of hydroxyl proton mobilization in this low proton mobility environment.
