Gas-phase fragmentation study of novel synthetic 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives using electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry.

The fragmentation patterns of a series of three novel synthesized 3-hydroxy-4-phenyl-tetrahydro-1,5-benzodiazepin-2-ones (1-3), possessing the same backbone structure, were investigated using electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) techniques. A simple methodology, based on the use of ESI (positive ion mode) and by increasing the declustering potential in the atmospheric pressure/vacuum interface, collision-induced dissociation (CID), was used to enhance the formation of the fragment ions. In general, the novel synthetic 1,5-benzodiazepine derivatives afforded, in the gas phase, both protonated and sodiated molecules.

[Synthesis of carbamoyl tetrahydro 1,4,2-dioxazines and evaluation of their activity against human immunodeficiency virus].

1,4,2-dioxazine derivatives were synthesized from B-uréidoxyalcools, and their 1H, 13C RMN and mass spectra were determined. Their activity against human immunodeficiency virus and their cytotoxicity were then evaluated. Whereas the derivatives had no effect on virus infectivity nor on reverse transcriptase activity, they unexpectedly enhanced host cell infection by both lymphotropic and macrophage-tropic virus strains.
