Abstract The occurrence of methyl carbamates of phosphatidylethanolamines and phosphatidylserines in the lipid extract of mitochondria obtained from mouse embryonic fibroblasts was ascertained by hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography with electrospray ionization single and multi-stage mass spectrometry, performed using sinergically a high resolution (quadrupole-Orbitrap) and a low resolution (linear ion trap) spectrometer. Two possible routes to the synthesis of methyl carbamates of phospholipids were postulated and evaluated: (i) a chemical transformation involving phosgene, occurring as a photooxidation by-product in the chloroform used for lipid extraction, and methanol, also used for the latter; (ii) an enzymatic methoxycarbonylation reaction due to an accidental bacterial contamination, that was unveiled subsequently on the murine mitochondrial sample. A specific lipid extraction performed on a couple of standard phosphatidyl-ethanolamines/-serines, based on purposely photo-oxidized chloroform and deuterated methanol, indicated route (i) as negligible in the specific case, thus highlighting the enzymatic route related to bacterial contamination as the most likely source of methyl carbamates. The unambiguous recognition of the latter might represent the starting point toward a better understanding of their generation in biological systems and a minimization of their occurrence when an artefactual formation is ascertained. |
