- Abstract
A key aspect for the further development of matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI)-mass spectrometry (MS) is a better understanding of the working principles of MALDI matrices. To address this issue, a chemical compound library of 59 structurally related cinnamic acid derivatives was synthesized. Potential MALDI matrices were evaluated with sulfatides, a class of anionic lipids which are abundant in complex brain lipid mixtures. For each matrix relative mean S/N ratios of sulfatides were determined against 9-aminoacridine as a reference matrix using negative ion mass spectrometry with 355 and 337 nm laser systems. The comparison of matrix features with their corresponding relative mean S/N ratios for sulfatide detection identified correlations between matrix substitution patterns, their chemical functionality, and their MALDI-MS performance. Crystal structures of six selected matrices provided structural insight in hydrogen bond interactions in the solid state. Principal component analysis allowed the additional identification of correlation trends between structural and physical matrix properties like number of exchangeable protons at the head group, MW, logP, UV-Vis, and sulfatide detection sensitivity.
