Leukotrienes (LT) C4, E4andN‐acetyl‐E4, their respective monomethyl esters and 14,15‐2H2analogs have been synthesized. The collisionally activated decompositions of the [ M + H]+and [ M ‐ H]−ions formed by fast atom bombardment (FAB) have been studied by tandem mass spectrometry using a hybrid sector/quadrupole instrument. Structurally informative product ion spectra were obtained for each analyte; the fragmentation pathways proposed are consistent with the parallel data obtained for labeled and derivatized species. Fragmentation of [ M + H]+ions occurs prominently via cleavage of the thioether linkage with charge retention on the cysteine‐containing (predominant for LTC4) or lipid‐derived (predominant for LTE4) moieties. More pronounced differences were observed between the fragmentations of [ M ‐ H]−ions derived from LTC4and LTE4; the preference for charge retention, however, parallels that observed for the fragmentation of [ M + H]+ions. Selected ion monitoring during continuous‐flow FAB mass spectrometric analysis of authentic LTC4indicated a low‐picogram detection limit.
