✦ Synopsis
Electrospray ionisation (ESI) mass spectrometry combined with collision-induced decomposition of ions given by captopril, lisinopril and enalaprilat, angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors, has been used to characterise these compounds. As expected, the ESI mass spectra are characterised by the presence of abundant [M H] ions with very little fragmentation at low cone voltages.
Fragment ions are produced by collision-induced decomposition of these ions at higher cone voltages, and in MS/MS experiments. Fragmentation pathways and structures of fragment ions observed have been proposed.
