In this paper , the potential value of high-throughput desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HT DESI-MS) for small-scale rapid late-stage functionalization (LSF) is investigated.
Abstract
Late-stage functionalization (LSF) of drug molecules is an approach to generate modified molecules that retain functional groups present in the active drugs. Here, we report a study that seeks to characterize the potential value of high-throughput desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (HT DESI-MS) for small-scale rapid LSF. In conventional route screening, HT-based DESI-MS provides contactless, rapid analysis, reliable and reproducible data, minimal sample requirement, and exceptional tolerance to high salt concentrations. Ezetimibe (E), an established hypertension drug, is targeted for modification by LSF. C-H alkenylation and azo-click reactions are utilized to explore this approach to synthesis and analytical characterization. The effect of choice of reactant, stoichiometry, catalyst, and solvent are studied for both reactions using high throughput DESI-MS experiments. Optimum conditions for the formation of LSF products are established with identification by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS).

Mass spectrometry in materials synthesis

TL;DR: In this article , mass spectrometry (MS) is used for preparation of nanomaterials, including catalysts, using mass-analyzed ions and performing ion soft landing (SL) although the low ion currents make this vacuum-based method slow.

Ambient Mass Spectrometry

TL;DR: In DESI as discussed by the authors, electrically charged droplets are directed at the ambient object of interest; they release ions from the surface, which are then vacuumed through the air into a conventional mass spectrometer.
