Cleavable surfactants and methods of use thereof

a surfactant and detergent technology, applied in the field of detergents or surfactants, can solve the problems of high analytical system sensitive to the presence high sensitivity of many analytical systems, and high variability in the chemistry of proteins in biological systems and especially in mammals, so as to eliminate the suppressive effect of detergents, increase the signal intensity of high molecular weight proteins, and increase the number of ions detected

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.

[0135] This Example describes the synthesis and cleavage of alpha-cyano-4-hydroxy-cinnamic acid detergent, a preferred embodiment of the present invention.

[0136] Synthesis of Chloromethyl ether: A volume of 5 mL (39.4 mmol) of chlorotrimethylsilane (TMS-Cl) and 0.3 g of paraformaldehyde were placed in a flame dried 25 mL round bottom flask. The reagents are allowed to stir under inert atmosphere until homogeneous. A volume of 2.27 mL (10 mmol) of n-dodecanol were added drop wise to the reaction vessel. The reagents react at room temperature for a period of two hours. The TMS-Cl is removed under vacuum followed by a vacuum distillation of the product, chloromethyl ether. A total of 0.973 g (41% yield) of product were collected at 106°-109° C. at 0.4 torr.

Abstract

Cleavable compositions and methods of use especially in MALDI MS analysis of hydrophobic proteins.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0001] The present invention relates generally to cleavable detergents or surfactants and methods of use thereof including sample isolation, solubilization, emulsification, and analysis. Furthermore, the present invention relates to cleavable surfactants which are useful for sample preparation, but which can be cleaved for removal or to yield cleavage products which have additional useful properties, including for matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectroscopy (MALDI MS) analysis of hydrophobic molecules including natural and synthetic polymers and polypeptides. [0002] The cleavable detergents or surfactants of the present invention, among other things in additional embodiments, improve the quality of MALDI MS analyses of proteins, including high molecular weight proteins associated with biological tissue. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Proteomics, the study of proteins and their functions, is currently a focus of both university and commerc...
