Modified urinary nucleosides are potentially invaluable in cancer diagnosis. High‐performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was combined with full scan mass spectrometry (MS), tandem mass spectrometry and MS n analysis in order to identify purine nucleosides purified from urine. UV peaks evident in the chromatogram were examined by the various mass spectrometric techniques and adenosine, 1‐methyladenosine, xanthosine, N 1 ‐methylguanosine, N 2 ‐methylguanosine, N 2 , N 2 ‐dimethylguanosine, N 2 , N 2 , N 7 ‐trimethylguanosine, inosine, and 1‐methylinosine were each identified in the urine samples from cancer patients. The benefits of the use of LC/MS compared with HPLC alone are discussed. Copyright © 2004 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
