Table 1 Attribution of compounds for pre-chemotherapy tumors (DESI-MS imaging acquired in the negative ion mode; attributions were assigned based on high mass accuracy and MS/MS measurements).

From: In situ profiling reveals metabolic alterations in the tumor microenvironment of ovarian cancer after chemotherapy
