Simple structural elucidation of ostreocin-B, a new palytoxin congener isolated from the marine dinoflagellate Ostreopsis siamensis, using complementary positive and negative ion liquid chromatography/quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry.
Rapid Communications in Mass Spectrometry : RCM 2018 June 31
RATIONALE: Ostreocin-B is a new palytoxin congener of comparable complexity. Elucidation of the chemical structure by nuclear magnetic resonance has been hampered due to limited sample availability. More importantly, the dihedral angles of protons at the base of the hydroxyl groups on the ring structures are predicted to produce little couplings and thus disrupt connectivity. The present investigation solved the problem through mass spectrometry.
METHODS: Structural elucidation was performed by high-performance liquid chromatograph coupled to a quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometer equipped with an electrospray ionization source operated in positive and negative ion mode. Measurement parameters were optimized to achieve high sensitivity and a high ratio of singly charged ions. Ostreocin-D (C127 H219 N3 O53 ), another palytoxin congener possessing an unambiguously determined structure, was used as a template.
RESULTS: The molecular formula of ostreocin-B, C127 H219 N3 O54 , indicates that it has one more oxygen atom than ostreocin-D. Comparison of the product ion spectra in negative ion mode indicates the occurrence of hydroxyl substitution at C44 in ostreocin-B, unlike in ostreocin-D. Positive ion spectra also support the 44-OH substructure by producing conjugated polyenes ascribable to the sequential loss of hydroxyls on the cyclic hemiacetal.
CONCLUSIONS: The planar structure of ostreocin-B is assigned to 42-hydroxy-3,26-didemethyl-19-deoxypalytoxin (=44-hydroxyostreocin-D). The method used in this study is an excellent tool to obtain structural information on interspecies and intrastrain variation of palytoxin congeners in marine organisms.
