Identification And Characterization

Phenolic compounds are plants’ bioactive metabolites that have been studied for their ability to confer extensive benefits to human health. As currently there is an increased interest in natural compounds identification and characterization, new analytical methods based on advanced technologies have been developed. This paper summarizes current advances in the state of the art for polyphenols identification and quantification. Analytical techniques ranging from high-pressure liquid chromatography to hyphenated spectrometric methods are discussed. The topic of high-resolution mass spectrometry, from targeted quantification to untargeted comprehensive chemical profiling, is particularly addressed. Structure elucidation is one of the important steps for natural products research. Mass spectral data handling approaches, including acquisition mode selection, accurate mass measurements, elemental composition, mass spectral library search algorithms and structure confirmation through mass fragmentation pathways, are discussed.

Impact Ionisation

Electron ionisation (EI) and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectral fragmentations of nine 2,4-(and 2,1-) disubstituted o-( m- and p-)nitro-(chloro- and bromo-)-2-thiocytosinium halides are investigated. Fragmentation pathways, whose elucidation is assisted by accurate mass measurements and metastable transitions [EI-mass spectrometry (MS)], as well as FAB/collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra measurements are discussed. The correlations between the abundances of the (C11H10N4SO2)+1–3; (C11H10N3SCl)+4–6 and (C11H10N3SBr)+7–9 ions and the selected fragment ions (EI-MS), as well as (C18H16N5SO4)+1–3; (C18H16N3SCl2)+4–6 and (C18H16N3SBr2) + 7–9 ions and the selected ions (C7H6NO2)+1–3; (C7H6Cl)+ 4–6; (C7H6Br)+ 7–9 (FAB-MS) are discussed. The data obtained can be used for distinguishing isomers.

The mass spectra of three desaurins and four related 3,5-bismethylene-1,2,4-trithiolanes have been interpreted with the aid of metastable peak assignments and accurate mass measurements. Strong molecular ion peaks are observed in the case of the aryl desaurins but not in that of their trithiolane counterparts. A variety of fragmentation pathways are postulated for the molecular ions, including cleavage on either side of a carbonyl group and elimination of a molecule of acylthioketene. In the case of the desaurins the latter process results in the formation of acylthioketene molecular ions, which could be distinguished from the doubly charged desaurin molecular ions. In the case of two of the trithiolanes, it is proposed that the ions resulting from loss of acylthioketene from the molecular ions undergo a novel type of McLafferty rearrangement and loss of carbon suboxysulfide to give aryl mercaptan molecular ions.

Analytical Approaches

Some elements in food are notoriously toxic, whereas others are considered essential for human health. Information on the exact chemical form in which an element is present in food is of paramount importance to determine the safety and nutritional quality of food. This critical review discusses the state of the art of analytical approaches to speciation of trace elements in food products. The topics addressed include (i) responding to regulations concerning some toxic elements (As, Hg, Sn); (ii) quality control of food and feed supplements; and (iii) characterization, in terms of element speciation, of nutritional plants (natural and genetically modified) and food supplements produced by biotechnology. The maturity of analytical techniques allowing the determination of individual well-defined metal species is highlighted. On the other hand, the recent developments of multidimensional hyphenated techniques and the democratization of electrospray high-resolution mass spectrometry (Orbitrap) start permitting fine characterization of element speciation in natural products.

Comparison Of The Results

The electron ionization (EI) and fast atom bombardment (FAB) mass spectral fragmentations of ten copper(II) dichloride (dibromide, diformate, diacetate and dithiocyanate) complexes of (–)-sparteine and (–)-α-isosparteine were investigated. Fragmentation pathways, elucidation of which was assisted by accurate mass measurements and metastable transitions (EI-MS), as well as FAB/collision-induced dissociation (CID) mass spectral measurements are discussed. The data obtained create the basis for the differentiation of the ligand (sparteine or α-isosparteine) in the investigated complexes. The comparison of the results with those obtained previously for corresponding zinc(II) complexes forms the basis for the differentiation of metals in these compounds. The results show that both EI-MS and FAB-MS are very useful tools for the differentiation of ligands, as well as metals in the series of Zn(II) and Cu(II) dichloride (dibromide, diacetate, diformate, dithioacetate) complexes of (–)-sparteine and (–)-α-isosparteine.

A novel C35 terpene and its monounsaturated analogue were isolated from cultures of Acetobacter xylinum, together with traces of their C36 homologues. These substances were found to be hopane derivatives substituted by a five-carbon chain bearing four vicinal hydroxyl groups. For the parent hydrocarbon the term bacteriohopane is proposed. The elucidation of the structures utilized high-resolution mass spectrometry of the terpenes, degradation to C32 hydrocarbons and detailed mass-spectrometric comparison of these with C32 hydrocarbons synthesized from known pentacyclic triterpenes. High-resolution mass-spectral data of the terpenes are presented. N.m.r. data are in agreement with the proposed structures, which are further supported by the isolation from the same organism of 22-hydroxyhopane and derivative hopene(s).
