## Abstract An analytical protocol suggested previously for the mass spectrometric sequence analysis of cyclosporins was extended by addition of methods for discrimination among isobaric amino acids differing either in the nature of the side‐chain or __N__‐substitution. The former goal was achieved

✦ Synopsis
The mass spectrometric sequence determination of amino acid residues in cyclosporins using fast atom bombardment, collisionally activated dissociations in the first field-free region and linked B/E scan is described. The general fragmentation scheme was derived from the spectra of cyclosporins A,B,C,D,F,G,L and (DH-MeBmt'JCS. The main fragmentation pathways start by primary splitting between amino acids 2-3, 1-11 and 5-6. The corresponding N-terminal b-type ions are common fragment types in the mass spectra. The 1-11 splitting can be enhanced by the introduction of a lactone group into the peptide ring by conversion of cyclosporins into isocyclosporins. The fragmentation scheme was used for amino acid sequence determination in four new natural cyclosporins, [ MeLeu' 1 CS, [ Leu'] CS, [ Ile4] CS and [ Leu' 1 CS.
