title: Electrospray-collision-induced dissociation mass spectrometry of mono-, di- and tri-hydroxylated lipoxygenase products, including leukotrienes of the B-series and lipoxins.
abstract: Collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra were recorded on underivatized, hydroxylated lipoxygenase products, including S(S)-, 12(S)- and 15(S)-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic adds (HETE), leukotriene (LT) B4, LTB5, the LTB4 metabolites 20-OH-LTB4, 20-COOH-LTB4 and 10,11-dihydro-LTB4, the LTB4 isomers 6-trans-LTB4, 6-trans,12-epi-LTB4 and S(S),12(S)-dihydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (diHETE) as well as S(S),6(R)-diHETE, 14(S), 15(R)-diHETE and lipoxin (LX) A4 and B4. Pseudomolecular [M-H]- parent ions were generated by electrospray ionization. The ions were accelerated to 4 keV, selected by the double focusing sectors Of 2 hybrid tandem mass spectrometer, decelerated to 400 eV and focused into a collision cell containing xenon. The resulting fragment ions were mass analysed by an orthogonal time-of-flight analyser. The CID spectra obtained were structurally informative allowing isomer differentiation.
