permitted identification of phenytoin and several of its metabolites.Supported by NIH Grant #GM36143. References[11 Markey, S. P., and Abramson, F. P., J. Chromatogr, 235, 523 (1982).[2] Abranson, F. P., and Markey, S. P., Biomed. Env. Mass Spectrom. 13, 411 (1986 Markey and Abramson [1] developed a microwave-powered chemical reaction interface, a device which converts a complex organic molecule in the presence of a reactant gas into small stable molecules which are detected by mass spectrometry. For a given reactant gas the molecules formed are a representation of the elemental composition of the original anlayte. The combination of the reaction interface and a mass spectrometer produces an isotope-or element-selective detector for samples either introduced directly into the reaction interface or flowing from a capillary gas chromatograph column.Microgram and submicrogram samples of a variety of proteins were analyzed for their sulfur content relative to their carbon content by introducing the samples directly into the reaction interface. With CO, as the reactant gas, S02 at m/z 64 is produced. This quantifies the amount of sulfur which was introduced into the reaction interface. In the presence of N 2 , HCN at m/z 27 is produced and is used to quantify the carbon content of the sample.The observed ratio of S/C for various proteins correlated well with the elemental formulas [2].In the presence of S02, 4NO at m Iz 30 and 5 NO at m/z 31 are produced. Following administration of 50 mg of triple-labeled 5,5-diphenylhydantoin (1, 3("N); 2('C)] to a male beagle dog, a urine sample was selectively analyzed for its
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
