Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionisation time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOFMS) has been investigated as a tool for accurate determination of the molecular mass of synthetic analogues of prazosine, a molecule used for the treatment of hypertension. Samples were dissolved in methanol, mixed with mass calibration standards, and crystallised on the target with alpha-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid as matrix. Acquisition of spectra was rapidly completed in reflectron mode, allowing high resolution (6000-10000) and sensitive (about 1-10 pmol of sample on target) determination of the synthetic products. The results show the effectiveness of MALDI-TOFMS for accurate mass determination of these fairly large molecules, which are otherwise difficult to analyse by other high-resolution mass spectrometric techniques.
