LC/MS has become a widely utilized technique in the drug discovery process, especially for metabolite identification. Many drug compounds contain chlorine or bromine, which produce a distinctive mass spectral isotope pattern corresponding to their natural isotopic abundance. Metabolite ID 2.0 software takes advantage of this diagnostic isotope pattern to identify potential metabolites. By searching for compounds that show the same isotope pattern as the parent compound, metabolites can be quickly associated with the parent drug.
