Utilizing Drift Tube Ion Mobility Spectrometry for the Evaluation of Metabolites and Xenobiotics

Ion Mobility-Mass Spectrometry

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 2084))

Abstract

Metabolites and xenobiotics are small molecules with a molecular weight that often falls below 600 Da. Over the last few decades, multiple small molecule databases have been curated listing structures, masses, and fragmentation spectra possible in metabolomic and exposomic measurements. To date only a small portion of the spectra in these databases are experimentally derived due to the high expense of obtaining, synthesizing, and analyzing standards. A vast majority of spectra have thus been created using theoretical programs to fit the available experimental data. The errors associated with theoretical data have however caused problems with current small molecule identifications, and accurate quantitation as searching the databases using just one or two analysis dimensions (i.e., chromatography retention times and mass spectrometry (MS) m/z values) results in numerous annotations for each experimental feature. Additional analysis dimensions are therefore needed to better annotate and identify small molecules. Drift tube ion mobility spectrometry coupled with MS (DTIMS-MS) is a promising technique to address this challenge as it is able to perform rapid structural evaluations of small molecules in complex matrices by assessing the collision cross section values for each in addition to their m/z values. The use of IMS in conjunction with other separation techniques such as gas or liquid chromatography and MS has therefore enabled more accurate identifications for the small molecules present in complex biological and environmental samples. Here, we present a review of relevant parameter considerations for DTIMS application with emphasis on xenobiotics and metabolomics isomer separations.
