    Quadrupolar and electromagnetic (FTICR) ion traps generated a strong attractive power for the biological MS community since they can be used in combination with the external sources ESI and MALDI. In general, ion traps are most interesting because of a capability which differentiates them from all other mass spectrometers: the storage of ions. Due to this fact, their powerful flexibility in performance is quite unique among all mass analyzers. Once the ions are stored, they can be manipulated in many different ways. Particularly multistage MS/MS experiments which require additional, spaceous analyzer hardware in other mass spectrometric techniques, can be performed subsequently in time by using exactly the same instrumental setup. While the quadrupolar ion trap mainly convinces by its ease of operation and the low cost at full MS/MS capabilities, FTICR instruments are truely unsurpassed in performance among all mass spectrometers in terms of resolution, mass accuracy and MSn capabilities. In this report, both techniques will be discussed with special regards to typical applications of biological and biochemical analysis which at the same time reveal capabilities and limitations of ion traps.

    Combinatorial chemistry is a novel and innovative technology to generate and screen a large number of compounds simultaneously. Traditionally, new drag lead compounds were discovered by screening sources of natural products or collections of compounds from chemical synthesis in pharmaceutical companies. Recently, computer assisted structure-activity based approaches enable the “rational drug design” to avoid laborious and serendipitous synthesis. More recently, combinatorial chemistry–sometimes referred to as “irrational drug design”-has emerged and is believed to give a big advantage over traditional methods.

    Mass spectrometry (MS) has been used extensively because of the development of ionization methods followed by their improvement and the solution of analytical problems in inorganic and organic chemistry, biochemistry and medicine. MS has become a powerful and standard method for the identification, structural determination and elucidation of wide variety of compounds, when it is employed in complementary with other physical methods such as nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), X-ray diffraction and infrared spectroscopy (IR). However, there are still many problems to be solved in MS. In this paper, I proposed the improved methods which may be helpful for solving the problems.

    Unlike NMR, mass spectrometry seems to be used as a supplementary method in general, rather than a critical tool in the structural analysis of “truly unknown” compounds, such as newly isolated biologically active natural products. One of the reasons is that instruments designed for structural analysis tend to be relatively expensive and hard to maintain and/or operate by natural product chemists, until recently. However, another, and more essential reason is underlying the nature of mass spectrometric structural analysis, i.e., the process of analysis relies on non-quantitative, highly empirical, and hard-to-generalize fragmentation rules, and is difficult to explain deductively to non-experts. It may also be believed to be difficult to extract structural information from high-energy collision induced dissociation (CID) mass spectra generated by sector-based tandem mass spectrometers, which are basically rich in structural information but hard to interpret. In this situation, we have learned that, at least in some cases, tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) can be used as an aid to extract vital structural information unambiguously and can be used for building unknown structures rationally, without using inspiration of an expert. In this paper, examples from our experiences in structural elucidation of natural products are shown and following points, (1) how MS/MS can help extracting crucial structural information from complex structures and (2) how MS/MS can be used for rational building of a new structure, are focused. (3) A possible role of high-energy-CID MS3 in structural elucidation of natural products is also discussed.

    Cytochrome P450 (Cyt. P450) is capable of metabolizing a wide range of endogenous and xenobiotic compounds. The metabolism of testosterone has been used to probe into Cyt. P450 isoenzyme activities of rat liver preparations in vitro. Then we studied the quantitation method of hydroxytestosterone by GC/MS for the measurement of Cyt. P450 isoenzyme activities.
    Testosterone and 4 kinds of hydroxytestosterones (2α, 6β, 16α, and 16β-OH) were derivatized into the ethoxime-dimethylisopropylsilyl ether derivatives and separated completely on fused silica capillary column. Linearity of the method was established over the concentration range of 0.1-20 ng/sample for 2α, 6β, and 16α-hydroxytestosterones.
    The present method enabled the measurement of testosterone 2α and 6β-hydroxylation in a trace amount of rat liver homogenate. And the method revealed the relationship between the change in actual isoenzyme activity and inducer treatment such as phenobarbital and dexamethasone. The method is applicable to the measurement of wide variety of Cyt. P450 isoenzyme activities.

    Chiral recognition in host-guest complexation and the related systems detected by FAB mass spectrometry was reviewed. Our newly developed methodology, which is called as “enantiomer-labeled guest method”, is largely explained on the basis of both fundamentals and applications. Emphasis is put on the facts that chiral recognition abilities of various hosts toward various guests are easily and reliably determined by the method and the results are straightforwardly compared with each other, or more importantly, with those from thermodynamics in solution using - ΔΔGenan (kcal/mol) values. The chiral hosts examined contain several synthetic crown ethers, natural ionophores, and carbohydrate derivatives. The chiral guests examined contain several amino acid esters and amino acids. Basic concept of the forthcoming “enantiomer-labeled host method” is also stated briefly.
