Three structurally related compounds, 4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenylpyruvic acid (HMPPA), indole-3-pyruvic acid (IPA), and indole-3-glyoxylic acid have been evaluated as matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) matrices. HMPPA and IPA were found to be effective matrices for MALDI-MS analysis o

โฆ Synopsis
A new group of compounds has been successfully tested as matrices for ultraviolet matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (UV-MALDI MS). Several new matrices for UV-MALDI MS have been found by choosing, as potential matrices, compounds that perform an intramolecular proton transfer along an intramolecular H-bond under UV irradiation. Compounds of this type are, for example, salicylamide, salicylanilide, several ortho-hydroxyacetophenones and ortho-hydroxybenzophenones. The matrix activity of these compounds is compared to the corresponding meta-and para-isomers and to the matrix activity of such well known matrices as 2,5-dihydroxybenzoic acid and 2,4,6-trihydroxyacetophenone. It was found that meta-and para-substituted hydroxycarbonyl compounds show either a significantly lower or no matrix activity compared with the ortho isomers.
