Abstract

Determining the purity of deuterium labelled compounds is important due to the increasing use of these compounds in mass spectrometry (MS) based quantitative analyses for targeting metabolic flux, reducing toxicity, confirming reaction mechanisms during synthesis, predicting enzyme mechanisms, and enhancing the efficacy of drugs, in quantitative proteomics, and also as internal standards. In the present study, a strategy using liquid chromatography electrospray ionization high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-ESI-HR-MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy was proposed to determine the isotopic enrichment and structural integrity of deuterium labelled compounds. The proposed strategy involves recording full scan MS, extracting and integrating isotopic ions, and calculating the isotopic enrichment of the desired labelled compounds. NMR analysis confirms structural integrity or positions of labelled atoms and can provide insights into the relative percent isotopic purity. This strategy was used to evaluate the isotopic enrichment and structural integrity of in-house synthesized compounds as well as a series of commercially available deuterium labelled compounds. The % isotopic purity for labelled compounds of a benzofuranone derivative (BEN-d2), tamsulosin-d4 (TAM-d4), oxybutynin-d5 (OXY-d5), eplerenone-d3 (EPL-d3), and propafenone-d7 (PRO-d7) was calculated and found to be 94.7, 99.5, 98.8, 99.9, and 96.5, respectively. All the samples were run in triplicate and the results were observed to be reproducible.
