Investigation of the role of diacylglycerol molecular species in signal transduction in human basophils has been impeded by the lack of an assay method with adequate sensitivity and selectivity. Conversion of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-3-glycerol to the pentafuorobenzoyl ester conveys electron-capture properties to the diacylglycerol. The electron-capture derivative of the diacylglycerol is amenable to gas chromatographic analysis and undergoes limited fragmentation under negative ion mass spectrometric conditions with generation of an intense molecular anion at m/z 838. Monitoring m/z 838 for detection of 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-3-glycerol and m/z 841 for detection of 1-trideuterostearoyl-3-arachidonoyl-sn-2 employed as the internal standard provides the analytical basis for GC-MS quantitation of the endogenous diacylglycerol in human basophils. The assay displays excellent reproducibility over a wide range of concentrations with variations less than or equal to 10%. The GC-MS assay is highly selective and exquisitely sensitive with a detection limit of less than or equal to 0.20 pg (similar to 30 fmol) for endogenous 1-stearoyl-2-arachidonoyl-sn-3-glycerol per injection. Approximately 400 fmol of the diacylglycerol were extracted from 10(5) stimulated human basophils. (C) 1996 Academic Press, Inc.
