Abstract:
The analysis of lipid/phospholipid oxidation products is of primary importance. Although there are established HPLC and LC/MS techniques, it is shown here for the first time that the combination of matrix-assisted laser desorption and ionization time-of-flight (MALDI-TOF) mass spectrometry (MS) and TLC represents a sensitive, fast and convenient alternative. A mixture of 1-palmitoyl-2-linoleoyl-sn-phosphatidylcholine (PLPC) and -ethanolamine (PLPE) was oxidized under the influence of atmospheric oxygen and characterized by direct positive ion MALDI-TOF MS as well as combined TLC/MALDI. It is shown that much more detailed information – particularly related to the oxidation products of PLPE that have so far been scarcely investigated – can be obtained by TLC/MALDI. However, it is also shown that further methodological improvements are necessary to make this method generally applicable to complex lipid mixtures.
