Interpretation of MS-MS Mass Spectra of Drugs and Pesticides

by Wilfried M. A. Niessen and Ricardo A. Correa C.

Published 3 January 2017

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
