AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

"The present invention provides novel cleavable surfactants and methods for preparing them for use in analyzing hydrophobic compounds, such as proteins and polymers, using mass spectrometry. These surfactants have the ability to perform multiple functions, including solubilizing non-soluble compounds, assisting in the preparation of crystals for analysis, and improving the signal intensity of high molecular weight proteins in mass spectrometry. The surfactants can be cleaved to yield a sample with analyte useful for mass spectrometry analysis, and the cleavage products are easily removed from the sample. The invention also provides methods for using the surfactants for analyzing biological samples and preparing them for mass spectral analysis."

Problems solved by technology

The extreme variability in the chemistry of proteins in biological systems and especially in mammals, presents special problems.
A recurring problem with respect to proteomics involves the poor solubility of a large percentage of proteins such as those found in lipid membranes and other hydrophobic areas of the cell or in the cellular environment.
However, many analytical systems are sensitive to the presence of surfactants.

example 1

[0082] Example 1 is a selection of embodiments of cleavable detergents or surfactants of the present invention, including the hydrophobic tail, cleavable linker, and polar head group.

[0083] X can be SO3−, SO4−, or N+(CH3)3

or a salt thereof, wherein:

[0084] R1 and R2 is each independently —H, -0CH3, —(CH2)1-6CH3, or -0(CH2)1-6CH3;

[0085] R3 and R4 is each independently —H, -0CH3, —OH, —NH2, —(CH2)1-6CH3, or -0(CH2)1-6CH3;

[0086] R5 and R6 are each independently —(CH2)1-19CH3;

[0087] R7 is independently —(CH2)1-19CH3; and

[0088] R8 is independently —(CH2)1-6,

[0089] X is independently SO3−, SO4−, or NH3+.

[0090] A preferred embodiment of formula 14 is where that R1 and R4 are H, and R7 is methyl. The basic structure defined by R5-O—C—O—R6 is that of a ketal linkage. The present set of structures is especially useful for the ability to degrade the surfactant by cleavage at the ketal yielding molecules with reduced MALDI signal suppression.
