We have previously reported that treatment of CsA with aqueous HCI gives rise to the formation of a number of water-soluble compounds. Two of these were identified from their FAB-MS/MS spectra as open-chain nona- and decapeptides. We describe here the identification of two other main compounds deriving from the same treatment. Identification was rendered possible from the comparison of their FAB-MS/MS spectra with those of methyl and acetyl derivatives. The two compounds are water-soluble, open-chain undecapeptides corresponding to 1.11 seco-CsA and of 4.5 seco-isoCsA, respectively.

Abstract
We have previously reported that treatment of CsA with aqueous HCI gives rise to the formation of a number of water-soluble compounds. Two of these were identified from their FAB-MS/MS spectra as open-chain nona- and decapeptides. We describe here the identification of two other main compounds deriving from the same treatment. Identification was rendered possible from the comparison of their FAB-MS/MS spectra with those of methyl and acetyl derivatives. The two compounds are water-soluble, open-chain undecapeptides corresponding to 1.11 seco-CsA and of 4.5 seco-isoCsA, respectively.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
