Structural identiÐcation of drugs by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) is interesting, important and challenging. In this study, atmospheric pressure ionization (API) MS/MS was applied to probe the structure of timolol, a typical b-adrenergic receptor-blocking agent (b-blocker). The characteristic MS

✦ Synopsis
Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization tandem mass spectrometry was used to study the gas-phase reactions of protonated a-and b-aspartame. The results show that under collision-induced dissociation conditions, these ions undergo dehydration to form anhydro derivatives in addition to carbon-carbon bond cleavages. The fragment ions formed from these dissociation pathways can be used to distinguish the two isomers. SpeciÐcally, ions at m/z 175 and 88 are unique to protonated a-aspartame whereas ions at m/z 249, 189 and 74 are unique to protonated b-aspartame.

Capillary liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) is usually performed using electrospray ionization. Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) has not been used since the flow rates involved (1-10 µL/min) are too low to effect ionization with a standard APCI source. Using a 320 µm ؋ 1
