AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Under complex matrix conditions, existing technologies can lead to qualitative identification and structural confirmation of compounds, which are affected by factors such as the variety of adduct ion forms, the mixing of isotope peaks and noise peaks, co-elution and co-drift, resulting in crosstalk between peaks and poor consistency between results verification and cross-batch analysis.

Method used

By acquiring the chromatographic retention time, ion drift time, mass-to-charge ratio, and ion abundance of the biological sample to be tested, the time axis is synchronized to form a four-dimensional characteristic peak group. Then, adduct ion clusters are grouped by scanning the ion mass difference and chemical adduct rules, adduct groups are stripped, and the mass of a single isotope is confirmed. Combined with the molecular weight of the parent drug and the mass shift dictionary of the biotransformation reaction, a two-dimensional planar structure and a three-dimensional rigid molecular model are generated and orthogonal constraint verification is performed.

Benefits of technology

It improves the consistency of merging unknown signals and the traceability of results in complex matrices, reduces the ambiguity of structural inference, and enhances the uniqueness and verification friendliness of 3D structural output.

Abstract

The application belongs to the technical field of analytical testing and substance component detection, and specifically discloses a novel compound identification method based on atlas analysis of a combined instrument, which comprises the following steps: synchronously aligning the chromatographic retention time, ion drift time, mass-to-charge ratio and ion abundance of a sample to be detected to extract a four-dimensional characteristic peak group; based on an addition rule, gathering ion clusters to confirm a single isotopic mass; calculating a mass offset and matching a conversion reaction dictionary to anchor a candidate metabolite; comparing secondary mass spectrum fragments and mapping to a parent fragmentation path to generate a two-dimensional plane structure; based on this, enumerating isomers, constructing a three-dimensional rigid body molecular model and deducing a theoretical collision cross section area; finally, comparing the actually measured and theoretical collision cross section areas, combining the polarity difference of the retention time mapping to perform orthogonal constraint verification, and outputting the target three-dimensional structure of the metabolite. The application realizes the reliability of compound confirmation in a complex sample.
