Characterisation of phospholipids was achieved using collision-induced dissociation (CID) with an ion-trap mass spectrometer. The product ions were compared with those obtained with a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. In the negative ion mode the product ions were mainly sn-1 and sn-2 lyso-phospholipids with neutral loss of ketene in combination with neutral loss of the polar head group. Less abundant product ions were sn-1 and sn-2 carboxylate anions. CID using a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer, however, gave primarily the sn-1 and sn-2 carboxylate anions together with lyso-phosphatidic acid with neutral loss of water. For the ion trap a charge-remote-type mechanism is proposed for formation of the lyso-phospholipid product ions by loss of alpha-hydrogen on the fatty acid moiety, electron rearrangement and neutral loss of ketene. A second mechanism involves nucleophilic attack of the phosphate oxygen on the sn-1 and sn-2 glycerol backbone to form carboxylate anions with neutral loss of cyclo lyso-phospholipids. CID (MS(3) and MS(4)) of the lyso-phospholipids using the ion-trap gave the same carboxylate anions as those obtained with a triple quadrupole instrument where multiple collisions in the collision cell are expected to occur. The data demonstrate that phospholipid species determination can be performed by using LC/MS(n) with an ion-trap mass spectrometer with detection of the lyso-phospholipid anions. The ion-trap showed no loss in sensitivity in full scan MS(n) compared to multiple reaction monitoring data acquisition. In combination with on-line liquid chromatography this feature makes the ion-trap useful in the scanning modes for rapid screening of low concentrations of phospholipid species in biological samples as recently described (Uran S, Larsen A, Jacobsen PB, Skotland T. J. Chromatogr. B 2001; 758: 265).
