Identification of the novel thio-arsenosugars DMThioAsSugarCarboxyl, DMThioAsSugarCarbamate and DMThioAsSugarAdenine in extracts of giant clam tissues by high-performance liquid chromatography online with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry.

Recently, the identification of four thio-arsenosugars in extracts of marine samples was reported. The biosynthesis of these arsenic species is most likely closely related to the well known oxo-arsenosugars. Due to their symbiotic algae giant clams contain oxo-arsenosugars with Carboxyl-, Carbamate- and Adenine-aglycone in significant amounts. Now we provide evidence for the presence of the thio analogues of these three arsenosugars in tissue extracts of the giant clams Tridacna maxima and Tridacna derasa. Anion-exchange high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) online with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry was applied for the identification of the thio-arsenosugars and the indirect quantification via their oxo analogues.
