    Notes: The alkylating agent propylene oxide is a potential carcinogen. Exposure to this compound leads to the formation of N-3′-(2-hydroxypropyl)histidine in protein. A sensitive and specific method has been developed for the determination of this alkylated amino acid in rat and human haemoglobin using high resolution gas chromatography with selected ion monitoring. Globin isolated from blood was hydrolysed with 6 M HCI and the protein hydrolysate chromatographed on a Dowex 50W H+ column. The amino acids in the partially purified extract were analysed as N-heptafluorobutyryl methyl esters using an SE-52 fused silica capillary column. Quantification was made by monitoring the ion m/z 560 [M — COOCH3]+ derived from the derivatized hydroxypropylhistidine in the sample and the corresponding ion at m/z 565 from the pentadeutero analogue of the alkylated amino acid added initially to the globin as an internal standard. The method has been used to quantify hydroxypropylhistidine down to levels of 2 μg gm-1 haemoglobin and has been applied to studies in rats exposed to propylene oxide.

    Notes: Human exposure to carcinogenic alkylating agents can lead to the formation of covalently bound adducts in DNA, some of which are excreted in urine as alkylated purines following DNA degradation and repair. Tandem mass spectrometric methods have been developed for the qualitative and quantitative determination of such alkylpurines in human urine. Short-chain alkyl- and hydroxyalkylguanines have been synthesized with the substituents at the N-7-, O6- and N2-positions of guanine. Examination of the product ion scans of their molecular ions (electron impact (EI) ionization) revealed that the ion at m/z 151, [guanine]+, was common to all of the alkylguanines studied, with the exception of the methylated analogues. Precursor ion scans of this ion on partially purified human urine extracts showed the presence of several ions (e.g. m/z 179, 195) which were consistent with molecular ions for alkylguanines. The presence of these and other constituents was confirmed by product ion spectra of molecular ions (EI and fast atom bombardment), and by high-performance liquid chromatographic separation prior to tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Evidence was obtained for the presence of N-7-methyl-, N2-dimethyl-, N2-dimethyl-, N2-ethyl- and N-7-(2-hydroxyethyl)guanine. Quantitative methods were established for these five alkyl guanines using gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and GC/MS/MS. Deuterated internal standards were synthesized and added to the urine prior to extraction of alkylpurines by Sep-Pak cartridge chromatography. The products were converted into their tert-butyldimethylsilyl derivatives and analysed by selected ion monitoring (SIM) of [M - 57]+ or by multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) of the fragmentation M+· → [M - 57]+. The MRM method yielded values for N-7-methylguanine of 2.57 ± S.D. 1.32 mg day-1 (n = 6), N2-methylguanine of 0.31 ± 0.10 mg day-1 (n = 10) and N2-dimethylguanine of 0.21 ± 0.23 mg day-1 (n = 10). N2-Ethyl- and N-7-(2-hydroxyethyl)guanine could only be detected by SIM at levels of ∼0.5 and 2 μg day-1, respectively. The MRM analyses, although inherently less sensitive than the SIM analyses, exhibit greater selectivity and consequently fewer contaminant ions.

    Notes: The metabolism by rat liver microsomes of the 2,4,6-trideuterio derivative of aniline mustard [N, N-di-(2-chloroethyl)aniline] in admixture with unlabelled material, has been studied. The resulting p-hydroxy derivative was isolated and examined by mass spectrometry. The extent of migration of deuterium from the p- to the m-position, determined from the ratio of trideuteriated to dideuteriated product, was 46%, but the protium and deuterium forms were hydroxylated at the same rate (zero isotope effect).

    Notes: The antitumour agent cyclophosphamide - {2-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]-tetrahydro-2H -1,3,2-oxaza-phosphorine 2-oxide} - is chiral owing to asymmetry at phosphorus. The differential metabolism of the enantiomers [(+)-cyclophosphamide and (-)-cyclophosphamide] can be monitored by mass spectrometry if pseudoracemates consisting of either unlabelled [2H0] (+)- and tetradeuterated [2H4] (-)-cyclophosphamide or of [2H0](-) and [2H4](+) enantiomers are administered. Using this principle, methodology has been developed for determining the enantiomer ratios of cyclophosphamide and two metabolites, 4-ketocyclophosphamide {2-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino] tetrahydro-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorin-4-one 2-oxide} and carboxyphosphamide [2-carboxyethyl N,N-bis(2-chloroethyl)phosphorodiamidate] recovered from the urine of mice. The drug and the two metabolites were quantified using [2H10]cyclophosphamide, 4-keto-[2H8]cyclophosphamide and [2H6]carboxyphosphamide respectively, as internal standards. The amount of cyclophosphamide excreted was small and neither enantiomer preponderated markedly, but the minor metabolite, 4-ketocyclophosphamide, was markedly depleted in the enantiomer derived from (-)-cyclophosphamide, whereas the major metabolite, carboxyphosphamide, was slightly depleted in the enantiomer derived from (+)-cyclophosphamide.

    Notes: The metabolism of cyclophosphamide-4-d2 (2-[bis(2-chloroethyl)amino]-tetrahydro-4,4-dideuterio-2H-1,3,2-oxazaphosphorine 2-oxide), was studied. The first detectable metabolite was a hydroxy derivative which was trapped with ethanol. Mass spectrometry of the resulting two ethoxy derivatives and of the deuterated acrolein 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazones formed therefrom via reaction with acidic 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazine, afforded evidence that the ethoxy substituents were at C-4, which was therefore the position of the original hydroxy substituent. The mass spectrum of the deuterated acrolein 2,4-dinitrophenylhydrazone obtained from the total reactive metabolites was used to estimate the ratio of 4- to 6-hydroxylation. The rate of metabolism and the antitumour activity of cyclophosphamide and its 4-d2 analogue were compared.

    Notes: Genotoxic carcinogens interact with nucleic acids and proteins to yield covalently bound products (adducts), the quantitative determination of which has been proposed as a biomonitor of human exposure to carcinogens. Mass spectrometry is playing a leading role both in the structural characterisation and in the quantitative determination of these carcinogen adducts. In particular electrospray ionisation and matrix assisted laser desorption ionisation are being increasingly used in nucleotide and protein adduct detection and in sequencing of carcinogen-modified oligonucleotides and peptides. Quantitative determination of carcinogen-modified nucleic acid bases and protein amino acids is generally carried out by GC/MS or GC/MS/MS, the highest sensitivity being achieved using negative ion chemical ionisation. These techniques are now being applied to samples from humans exposed to carcinogens from environmental, medicinal and occupational sources.

    Notes: As a result of the increasing concern over the environmental exposure of humans to carcinogenic alkylating agents, assay methods are being developed in order to quantitate the extent of in vivo alkylating reactions. Such methods will be of value also in connection with the use of alkylating agents as anti-cancer drugs. The reactions carried out by these compounds include the alkylation of cysteine in proteins, and a procedure has now been developed for the estimation of S-methylcysteine in haemoglobin following exposure of rats to the carcinogen methyl methanesulphonate. Haemoglobin is particularly appropriate for the analysis of alkylating agent reactions as this protein is readily available from blood and has a long in vivo half-life. The analytical method involved isolation of globin from blood, hydrolysis in 6 M hydrochloric acid, partial purification of S-methylcysteine by chromatography on Dowex 50 ion exchange resin, and subsequent analysis by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. The amino acid mixtures were derivatized by n-butyl ester formation and N-heptafluorobutyrylation, and were chromatographed on a capillary column coated with OV-101 or Chirasil-Val using a solid injection system. For the mass spectrometric determination [2H3]-S-methylcysteine was employed as an internal standard. Monitoring of the [MH]+ ion of derivatized S-methylcysteine in chemical ionization (isobutane) allowed the detection of 10 pg of the compound with a signal-to-noise ratio of 20:1.
