✦ Synopsis
Mass spectra of picolinic, nicotinic and isonicotinic acids and of their respective N-oxides are presented. Picolinic acid and its N-oxide demonstrate the facile loss of carbon dioxide and low-intensity molecular ions. Fragmentation is relatively simple. Nicotinic and isonicotinic acids show very similar fragmentation patterns. For both, the molecular ion is the base peak. The fragmentations of nicotinic acid N-oxide and of isonicotinic acid N-oxide are more complex than those of the previous four compounds, but are similar to each other.

The negative-ion mass spectra of some pyridines, pyrazines and their N-oxides are reported. All of the compounds examined fragment by generation of CN-ions. The alkylated derivatives readily form [M -11 anions. Most of the N-oxides yield 0and OH-ions. Polar substituents control the fragmentation pro
Quinolinic, picolinic, and nicotinic acids and nicotinamide are end products of the kynurenine pathway from L-tryptophan and are intermediates in the biosynthesis of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide. These compounds are involved in complex interrelationships with inflammatory and apoptotic response
