  • Description: AbstractMass spectrometric identification and characterization of growth‐promoting anabolic‐androgenic steroids in biological matrices has been a major task for doping control as well as food safety laboratories. The fragmentation behavior of stanozolol, its metabolites 17‐epistanozolol, 3′‐OH‐stanozolol, 4α‐OH‐stanozolol, 4β‐OH‐stanozolol, 17‐epi‐16α‐OH‐stanozolol, 16α‐OH‐stanozolol, 16β‐OH‐stanozolol, as well as the synthetic analogues 4‐dehydrostanozolol, 17‐ketostanozolol, and N‐methyl‐3′‐OH‐stanozolol, was investigated after positive electrospray ionization and subsequent collision‐induced dissociation utilizing a quadrupole‐linear ion trap and a novel linear ion trap‐orbitrap hybrid mass spectrometer. Stable isotope labeling, H/D‐exchange experiments, MS3 analyses and high‐resolution/high mass accuracy measurements of fragment ions were employed to allow proposals for charge‐driven as well as charge‐remote fragmentation pathways generating characteristic product ions of stanozolol at m/z 81, 91, 95, 105, 119, 135 and 297 and 4‐hydroxylated stanozolol at m/z 145. Fragment ions were generated by dissociation of the steroidal A‐ and B‐ring retaining the introduced charge within the pyrazole function of stanozolol and by elimination of A‐ and B‐ring fractions including the pyrazole residue. In addition, a charge‐remote fragmentation causing the neutral loss of methanol was observed, which was suggested to be composed by the methyl residue at C‐18 and the hydroxyl function located at C‐17.
