Provides comprehensive coverage of the interpretation of LC-MS-MS mass
spectra of 1300 drugs and pesticides
- Provides a general discussion on the fragmentation of even-electron
ions (protonated and deprotonated molecules) in both positive-ion and
negative-ion modes
- This is the reference book for the interpretation of MS-MS mass
spectra of small organic molecules
- Covers related therapeutic classes of compounds such as drugs for
cardiovascular diseases, psychotropic compounds, drugs of abuse and
designer drugs, antimicrobials, among many others
- Covers general fragmentation rule as well as specific fragmentation
pathways for many chemical functional groups
- Gives an introduction to MS technology, mass spectral terminology,
information contained in mass spectra, and to the identification
strategies used for different types of unknowns
