The electrochemical oxidation pathway of uric acid was determined by on-line electrochemistry/thermospray/tandem mass spectrometry. Intermediates and products formed as a result of electrooxidation were monitored as the electrode potential was varied. Several reaction intermediates have been identified and characterized by tandem mass spectrometry. The tandem mass spectrometric results provide convincing evidence that the primary intermediate produced during the electrooxidation of uric acid has a quinonoid diimine structure. The results indicate that once formed via electrooxidation, the primary intermediate can follow three distinct reaction pathways to produce the identified final products. The final electrochemical oxidation products observed in these studies were urea, CO2, alloxan, alloxan monohydrate, allantoin, 5-hydroxyhydantoin-5-carboxamide, and parabanic acid. The solution reactions that follow the initial electron transfer at the electrode are affected by the vaporizer tip temperature of the thermospray probe. In particular, it was found that at different tip temperatures either hydrolysis or ammonolysis reactions of the initial electrochemical oxidation products can occur. Most importantly, the results show that the on-line combination of electrochemistry with thermospray/tandem mass spectrometry provides otherwise difficult to obtain information about redox and associated chemical reactions of biological molecules such as the structure of reaction intermediates and products, as well as providing insight into reaction pathways.
