Negative ion chemical ionization mass spectra of prostaglandin F2 alpha, prostaglandin E2, prostaglandin D2, 6-oxo-prostaglandin F1 alpha, 2,3-dinor-6-oxo-prostaglandin F1 alpha, thromboxane B2, 2,3-dinor-thromboxane B2, and 11-dehydro-thromboxane B2 pentafluorobenzyl ester (PFB)/methoxime/trimethylsilyl ether derivatives are presented. Collisionally activated decomposition mass spectra of the [M-PFB]- ions at collision energies of 8-24 eV and argon collision gas pressures of 1-2m Torr almost show only fragmentation of trimethylsilanol, (CH3)2Si = CHOH, (CH3)2Si = CH2 and methanol whereas, except for carbon dioxide loss, only few low-intensity fragments from the carbon skeleton of the prostanoids are observed.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.

D011453	Prostaglandins	A group of compounds derived from unsaturated 20-carbon fatty acids, primarily arachidonic acid, via the cyclooxygenase pathway. They are extremely potent mediators of a diverse group of physiological processes.	Prostaglandin,Prostanoid,Prostanoids
D004952	Esters	Compounds derived from organic or inorganic acids in which at least one hydroxyl group is replaced by an –O-alkyl or another organic group. They can be represented by the structure formula RCOOR’ and are usually formed by the reaction between an acid and an alcohol with elimination of water.	Ester
D004987	Ethers	Organic compounds having two alkyl or aryl groups bonded to an oxygen atom, as in the formula R1–O–R2.
D013931	Thromboxanes	Physiologically active compounds found in many organs of the body. They are formed in vivo from the prostaglandin endoperoxides and cause platelet aggregation, contraction of arteries, and other biological effects. Thromboxanes are important mediators of the actions of polyunsaturated fatty acids transformed by cyclooxygenase.	Thromboxane
