Abstract
With the growth of the pharmaceutical industry, structural elucidation of drugs and derivatives using tandem mass spectrometry (MS2) has become essential for drug development and pharmacokinetics studies because of its high sensitivity and low sample requirement. Thus, research seeking to understand fundamental relationships between fragmentation patterns and precursor ion structures in the gas phase has gained attention. In this study, we investigate the fragmentation of the widely used anticancer drugs, doxorubicin (DOX), vinblastine (VBL), and vinorelbine (VRL), complexed by a singly charged proton or alkali metal ion (Li+, Na+, K+) in the gas phase. The drug-cation complexes exhibit distinct fragmentation patterns in tandem mass spectra as a function of cation size. The trends in fragmentation patterns are explicable in terms of structures derived from ion mobility mass spectrometry (IM-MS) and theoretical calculations. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
The tandem mass spectrometry techniques electron-induced dissociation (EID) and collision-activated dissociation (CAD) have been compared as tools for providing detailed structural information of polyketides. Polyketides are an important class of natural products that account for a significant proportion of the drugs currently in clinical use. Three polyketide natural products, namely erythromycin A, lasalocid A, and iso-lasalocid A, were subjected to both CAD and EID, and their fragment ions were assigned with sub-part-per-million accuracy. The number of fragment ions detected through EID was much greater than for CAD, leading to a greater amount of structural information obtained for each polyketide, albeit with a decreased signal-to-noise ratio. The effect of different bound cations on the fragment pattern of the isomers lasalocid A and iso-lasalocid A was studied, with CAD and EID performed on the [M + H](+), [M + Na](+), [M + Li](+), and [M + NH(4)](+) precursor ions. The lithiated species were found to produce the greatest degree of fragmentation and enabled detailed structural information on the isomers to be obtained. Multistage mass spectrometry (MS(3)) experiments, combining CAD and EID, could also be performed on the lithiated species, generating new fragment information which enables the two isomers to be distinguished. Combining CAD and EID for the structural characterization of polyketides will therefore be a useful tool for identifying and characterizing unknown polyketides and their biosynthetic intermediates.

Abstract
Drugs that are used as medicines and also as growth promoters in veterinary care are considered as emerging environmental contaminants and in recent years concern about their potential risk to ecosystems and human health has risen. In this paper we used a method based on liquid chromatography/electrospray tandem mass spectrometry to analyze eight coccidiostatic compounds: diclazuril, dinitrocarbanilide (the main metabolite of nicarbazin), robenidine, lasalocid, monensin, salinomycin, maduramicin and nasarin. Multiple-stage mass spectrometry (MSn) based on the precursor ions [M+Na]+ (polyether ionophores), [M+H]+ (robenidine) and [M-H]- (diclazuril and dinitrocarbanilide) was used to study the fragmentation of these compounds. MSn data and genealogical relationships were used to propose a tentative assignment of the different fragment ions. Loss of water, decarboxylations, ketone beta-cleavages and rearrangement of cyclic ethers and amide groups were some of the fragmentations observed for these compounds. Liquid chromatography with a sub-2 microm particle size column was coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) allowing the separation of these compounds in less than 7 min. Method detection limits ranging from 11 to 71 ng L(-1) and run-to-run values in terms of relative standard deviation (RSD) (up to 12%) were obtained.

Abstract
The gas phase stabilities of Group I metal complexes of the polyether ionophore antibiotics lasalocid and monensin were investigated by collision induced dissociation mass spectrometry. Electrospray ionization was used with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer for the determination of threshold dissociation energies upon application of increasing collision energies. Various data analysis techniques for the determination of dissociation energies are discussed to assess the most suitable method for determining the stabilities of the ionophore-metal complexes studied here. In all cases only the relative stabilities of different complexes may be obtained by the method presented in this study, which does not assess absolute gas phase dissociation energies. Correction factors have been applied, however, to account for the energy conversion during collisions of different metal complexes and the varying degrees of freedom of different sized ligands, allowing for the comparison of the stabilities of different ionophores with like-metals. The measured threshold dissociation energies were compared with respect to the ionic radius of the metal cation, revealing a maximum stability for the K+ complexes of both lasalocid and monensin. A striking decrease in the stabilities of the Rb+ and Cs+ complexes was observed and is believed to be related to a decreasing degree of coordination that the ionophores can accomplish with the larger metals.

Abstract
The occurrence of antibiotics in surface and ground water is an emerging area of interest due to the potential impacts of these compounds on the environment. This paper details a rapid, sensitive and reliable analytical method for the determination of monensin A and B, salinomycin and narasin A in surface water using solid-phase extraction (SPE) and liquid chromatography-ion trap tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS-MS) with selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Several product ions as sodiated sodium salts for MS-MS detection have been identified and documented with their proposed fragmentation pathways. Statistical analysis for determination of the method detection limit (MDL), accuracy and precision of the method is described. The average recovery of ionophore antibiotics in pristine and wastewater-influenced water was 96.0+/-8.3% and 93.8+/-9.1%, respectively. No matrix effect was seen with the surface water. MDL was between 0.03 and 0.05 microg/L for these antibiotic compounds in the surface water. The accuracy and day-to-day variation of method fell within acceptable ranges. The method is applied to evaluate to the occurrence of these compounds in a small watershed in Northern Colorado. The method verified the presence of trace levels of these antibiotics in urban and agricultural land use dominated sections of the river.

Abstract
The fragmentation pathways of two selected ionophore antibiotics, salinomycin and monensin A, were studied using electrospray (ES) orthogonal acceleration quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry in positive-ion mode. The identity of fragment ions was determined by accurate-mass measurements. In ES mass spectra, ion signals of relatively high intensity were observed for [M+Na](+) and [M-H+2Na](+) for each antibiotic. Each of the ion species [M+Na](+) and [M-H+2Na](+) for salinomycin and [M-H+2Na](+) for monensin A were isolated in turn and subjected to fragmentation. In the fragmentation of [M+Na](+) and [M-H+2Na](+) from salinomycin, only Cbond;C single bond cleavage and dehydration were observed. Product ion mass spectra obtained from [M-H+2Na](+) of monensin A showed that ether ring opening, Cbond;C single bond cleavage and dehydration fragmentations had occurred. Fragment ions containing two sodium atoms were observed in the product ion mass spectrum of [M-H+2Na](+) from salinomycin, but not from monensin A. Both type A (containing the terminal carboxyl group) and type F (containing the terminal hydroxyl group) fragment ions were observed in the product ion mass spectra of sodium adduct ions of salinomycin and monensin A.

Abstract
Studies on the applications, energetics, and mechanisms of charge-remote fragmentations are reviewed, with emphasis given to those articles published after 1992. Independent of the charge status, charge-remote fragmentations are analogous to gas-phase thermolysis. Under collisional activation and with a fixed charge, ions containing long-chain or poly-ring structures undergo charge-remote fragmentations, generating productions that are structurally informative. Interpretation of the production spectra enables one to elucidate molecular structures. Although charge-remote fragmentations have been successfully used in the structural determination of fatty acids, phospholipids, glycolipids, triacylglycerols, steroids, peptides, ceramides, and other systems, the energetics and mechanisms of these reactions are still debated because none of the existing mechanisms can explain all the experimental data.

Abstract
Several triacylglycerol (TAG) molecular species, that contain two short-chain fatty acids (C4 to C8) at the sn-2 and sn-3 positions of the glycerol backbone, were isolated from bovine udder by using solvent extraction and silica gel column chromatography. Their structures were identified by fast atom bombardment (FAB) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), based on the information obtained from collision-induced dissociation (CID) spectra of sodium-adducted molecules ([M + Na](+)) of model TAG compounds which had been synthesized from glycerol and appropriate fatty acids. For each species, the relative positions of the three fatty acids on the glycerol backbone, as well as fatty acid composition and double-bond position in the fatty acyl group, were determined. A majority of sodium-adducted molecules observed in the FAB mass spectrum were mixtures of at least two components that have different fatty acid composition but the same molecular mass. In addition, all the components present in mixtures of all the species contain a long-chain fatty acid (C12 to C18) at the sn-1 position, a short-chain fatty acid (C4 to C8) at the sn-2 position, and a butyric acid uniquely at the sn-3 position.

Abstract
Our previous works have demonstrated that fast atom bombardment tandem mass spectrometry can be a valuable tool in determining the complete structure of glycoglycerolipids and glycerophospholipids. Collision-induced dissociation of sodium-adducted molecular ions ([M + Na]+ or [M - H + 2Na]+) generates diverse product ions informative on the double-bond position in fatty acyl groups as well as the polar head group and fatty acid composition. Here we report that this direct and rapid method can be applied to the structural determination of individual molecular species of each glycerolipid class purified from the total lipid extract of cyanobacterium Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803. Especially, based on the preference for the loss of the fatty acyl group positioned at the sn-2, it was proved that all of the molecular species of diacylglycerolipids contained a palmitoyl group exclusively at the sn-2 position. Additionally, lysoglycerolipids, monoacyl forms of four major membrane diacylglycerolipids, were first isolated together from a fresh extract. Using fast atom bombardment mass spectrometry and tandem mass spectrometry, it was found that each lysoglycerolipid had a molecular species with only palmitic acid as a fatty acyl group. Thus, these compounds could be synthesized by specific enzyme-catalyzed hydrolysis of the sn-1 fatty acyl group of the corresponding diacylglycerolipids.
