L. Gianelli et al., Mass spectrometry of Avermectins: structural determination of two new derivatives of Ivermectin B-1a, RAP C MASS, 14(14), 2000, pp. 1260-1265
Fragmentation pathways of Avermectins were studied by electron impact (EI),
chemical ionisation (CI), electrospray ionisation (ESI) and by collision e
xperiments. Structure characterisation was obtained using ESI combined with
multi-stage (MSn) tandem mass spectrometry, analysis of homologues, and ef
fects on fragment masses of H/D exchange. By these approaches the structure
s of two new derivatives of Avermectins were characterised, Copyright (C) 2
