RATIONALE: Melphalan is a widely used cytotoxic agent in cancer treatments. This phenylalanine analog has been shown an effective drug in the treatment of breast cancer, multiple myeloma and melanoma of the extremities. A good knowledge of the drug’s degradation and metabolism are crucial for understanding its activity during cancer treatments. METHODS: The formation of hydrolysis products of melphalan is studied using ultra-performance liquid chromatography (UPLC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Aqueous melphalan solutions were incubated at elevated temperatures and analyzed by UPLC/MS/MS. Two previously described hydrolysis products, mono- and dihydroxymelphalan (MOH and DOH), were formed in vitro and could be characterized during MS/MS and high-resolution experiments. RESULTS: Novel compounds with m/z values >500?Da were discovered.… Continue reading →
