ABSTRACT

Desmosine-CH2, an analog of the elastic tissue degradation biomarker desmosine, can be regarded as a potential internal standard for precise quantification of desmosines by LC-MS/MS. In this study, the chemical synthesis of desmosine-CH2 was completed in 22% overall yield in five steps. The LC-MS/MS analysis of desmosine-CH2 was also achieved.
