Chemical ionization and field desorption mass spectrometry of the gentamicins. 1976

D E Games, and M Rossiter, and M S Rogers, and A Weston, and R T Parfitt

Gentamicin sulphate employed in therapeutics consists of a mixture of three major aminoglycoside components, the gentamicins C1, C1a and C2. In the electron impact mass spectra of these components weak parent ions may be observed but they are of no diagnostic value in the commercial mixture. Chemical ionization and field desorption spectra of individual gentamicin components and commercial mixtures are reported and discussed. Isobutane chemical ionization spectra exhibit some fragmentation, but under optimum field desorption conditions little glycosidic cleavage is observed and [M + H]+ ions dominate the spectra.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007477 Ions An atom or group of atoms that have a positive or negative electric charge due to a gain (negative charge) or loss (positive charge) of one or more electrons. Atoms with a positive charge are known as CATIONS; those with a negative charge are ANIONS.
D002073 Butanes Four-carbon alkanes with the formula C4H10. Isobutane,Isobutanes
D005839 Gentamicins A complex of closely related aminoglycosides obtained from MICROMONOSPORA purpurea and related species. They are broad-spectrum antibiotics, but may cause ear and kidney damage. They act to inhibit PROTEIN BIOSYNTHESIS.
