A new strategy, based on sequential product-ion spectra (MS2 and MS3) and reaction-intermediate scanning (MS3), provides a rapid and unambiguous sequence determination of E-destruxin, a cyclodepsipeptidic toxin from Metarrhizium anisopliae fungus.

Cosmetics are an important aspect of the lives of many people. With an increasing demand for cosmetics, consumers pay more attention to their efficacy and composition. To improve their efficacy, prohibited substances, such as hormones, glucocorticoids, antibiotics, antifungals and antihistamines, may be added to cosmetics.

Phosphoinositides, phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositols, are essential signaling phospholipids in all mammalian cellular membranes. With three known phosphorylated derivatives of phosphatidylinositols at the 3-, 4-, and 5-positions along the myo-inositol ring, various fatty acyl chain lengths, and varying degrees of unsaturation, numerous isomers can be present. It is challenging for shotgun-MS to accurately identify and characterize phosphoinositides and their isomers using the most readily available precursor ion types.

The systematic recognition of As-PL has been hampered by the lack of standard and of qualitative methods to establish the carbon-carbon double bond positions of unsaturated fatty acyl chains. Here, the epoxidation reaction of fatty acyl substituents of As-PL was carried out with high selectivity by -chloroperoxybenzoic acid and the C-C double bond localization was established by collision-induced dissociation of epoxidized species as deprotonated molecules, [epoM - H].

Quality control plays a key role in the application of Chinese materia medica, especially in the preparation of traditional Chinese medicine. A pseudotargeted analysis method using an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole-time-of-flight-mass spectrometry that was operated in the sequential window acquisition of all theoretical spectra mode was proposed to explore the chemical markers of traditional Chinese medicine preparation. Full-scan-based untargeted analysis was applied to extract the target ions.

The analysis of the glycan moieties among different subclass gangliosides, including GM, GD, and GT gangliosides, remains a challenge for shotgun lipidomics. Here, we present a novel shotgun lipidomics approach employing gas-phase ion/ion chemistry.
