In drug discovery today, drug exposure is determined in preclinical efficacy and safety studies and drug effects are related to measured concentrations rather than to the administered dose. This leads to a strong increase in the number of bioanalytical samples, demanding the development of higher throughput methods to cope with the increased workload. Here, a combined approach is described for the high-throughput preparation and liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) analysis of drug levels in plasma samples from the preclinical efficacy and safety studies, i.e. exposure studies. Appropriate pharmacokinetic (PK) compartmental models were fitted to data from PK screening studies in the rat, which were subsequently used to simulate the expected plasma concentrations of the respective exposure studies. Information on the estimated drug concentrations was used to dilute the samples to appropriate concentration levels. A Tecan Genesis RSP liquid handling system was utilized to perform automated plasma sample preparation including serial dilution of standard solutions, dilution of plasma samples, addition of internal standard solution and precipitation with acetonitrile. This robotic sample preparation process permitted two studies of 1-96 samples each to be run simultaneously. To ensure the performance of this method the accuracy and precision for diazepam were examined. Two novel drugs were used to illustrate the suggested approach. In conclusion, our method for sample preparation of exposure samples, based on the combined use of PK simulations, a liquid handling system and a fast LC/MS/MS method, increased the throughput more than three times and minimized the errors, while maintaining the required accuracy and precision.  相似文献

An ultrafast bioanalytical method using monolithic column high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) was evaluated for the simultaneous determination of a drug discovery compound and its metabolite in plasma. Baseline separation of the two compounds was achieved with run times of 24 or 30 s under isocratic or gradient conditions, respectively. The monolithic column HPLC/MS/MS system offers shorter chromatographic run times by increasing flow rate without sacrificing separation power for the drug candidate and its biotransformation product (metabolite). In this work, the necessity for adequate chromatographic resolution was demonstrated because the quantitative determination of the drug-related metabolism product was otherwise hampered by interference from the dosed drug compound. The chromatographic performance of a monolithic silica rod column as a function of HPLC flow rates was investigated with a mixture of the drug component and its synthetic metabolite. The assay reliability of the monolithic column HPLC/MS/MS system was checked for matrix ionization suppression using the post-column infusion technique. The proposed methods were successfully applied to the analysis of study rat plasma samples for the simultaneous quantitation of both the dosed drug and its metabolite. The analytical results obtained by the proposed monolithic column methods and the 'standard' silica particle-packed HPLC column method were in good agreement, within 10% error.  相似文献

An on-line solid-phase extraction liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (SPE LC/MS/MS) assay using a newly developed SPE column and a monolithic column was developed and validated for direct analysis of plasma samples containing multiple analytes. This assay was developed in an effort to increase bioanalysis throughput and reduce the complexity of on-line SPE LC/MS/MS systems. A simple column-switching configuration that requires only one six-port valve and one HPLC pumping system was employed for on-line plasma sample preparation and subsequent gradient chromatographic separation. The resulting analytical method couples the desired sensitivity with ease of use. The method was found to perform satisfactorily for direct plasma analysis with respect to assay linearity, specificity, sensitivity, precision, accuracy, carryover, and short-term stability of an eight-analyte mixture in plasma. A gradient LC condition was applied to separate the eight analytes that cannot be distinctly differentiated by MS/MS. With a run time for every injection of 2.8 min, a minimum of 300 direct plasma injections were made on one on-line SPE column without noticeable changes in system performance. Due to the ruggedness and simplicity of this system, generic methods can be easily developed and applied to analyze a wide variety of compounds in a high-throughput manner without laborious off-line sample preparation.  相似文献

Metabolite identification is an important part of the drug discovery and development process. High sensitivity is necessary to identify metabolic products in vitro and in vivo. The most common method utilizes standard high-performance liquid chromatography (4.6 mm i.d. column and 1 mL/min flow rate) coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS). We have developed a method that utilizes a nano-LC system coupled to a high-resolution tandem mass spectrometer to identify metabolites from in vitro and in vivo samples. Using this approach, we were able to increase the sensitivity of analysis by approximately 1000-fold over HPLC/MS. In vitro samples were analyzed after simple acetonitrile precipitation, centrifugation, and dilution. The significant improvement in sensitivity enabled us to conduct experiments at very low substrate concentrations (0.01 μM), and very low incubation volumes (20 μL). In vivo samples were injected after simple dilution without any pre-purification. All the metabolites identified by conventional HPLC/MS/MS were also identified using the nano-LC method. This study demonstrates a very sensitive approach to identifying phase I and II metabolites with throughput and separation equivalent to the standard HPLC/MS/MS method.  相似文献

Analysis of caffeine and its metabolites is of interest with respect to caffeine exposure, for kinetic and metabolism studies and for opportunistic in vivo estimation of drug metabolizing enzyme activity in humans and animals. For the latter, analysis is usually done by high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. However, this method is close to the detection limit for certain of the metabolites and requires very long chromatography, 30-60 min. We have developed a fast method for the quantification of caffeine and its metabolites 1-methylxanthine, 1-methyluric acid, 1,7-dimethyluric acid, 5-acetylamino-6-amino-3-methyluracil (AAMU) and 5-acetylamino-6-formylamino-3-methyluracil (AFMU) by HPLC tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in urine that requires only its dilution with buffer and centrifugation before injection into the HPLC/MS/MS system. The chromatography lasts 7 min and is followed by 4.5 min for re-equilibration of the HPLC column, giving a total analysis time of 11.5 min. The method provides a great sensitivity improvement with detection limits for all analytes 相似文献

In this study, EDTA and heparin are compared as anticoagulants with respect to their efficiency in preventing clot formation in plasma samples that were subsequently analyzed by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS). A pilot in vivo pharmacokinetic study for the drug chlorpheniramine was conducted in which both EDTA and heparin plasma samples were collected simultaneously. All conditions except the anticoagulant were held constant during the pharmacokinetic study. Bioanalytical results were compared from samples transferred by manual pipette and by an automated liquid handler workstation. The concentration of chlorpheniramine in samples was determined by LC/MS/MS. Results from the analysis of variances (ANOVA) of log-transformed plasma chlorpheniramine concentrations were used to calculate 90% confidence intervals for the ratio least-squares mean values for anticoagulants and for transfer methods. Analytical concentrations of the drug chlorpheniramine were equivalent in heparin- and EDTA-containing plasma. Results suggest that the failure rate for transfer of EDTA plasma (50 micro L by automated workstation or manually) is less than that for heparinized plasma. As a consequence of these results, the vast majority of plasma samples in our laboratories are now collected in EDTA, which allows for use of automated sample transfer resulting in a three-fold timesaving over manual transfer using a single-channel pipette. The ability to use automation has resulted in improved efficiency and cost savings.  相似文献

An automated high-throughput HPLC/MS/MS method was developed for the quantitative determination of pantoprazole in human plasma. Only 100 microL plasma was placed in 2.2 mL 96 deep-well plates, and both pantoprazole and omeprazole (IS) were extracted from human plasma by liquid-liquid extraction, using diethyl ether-dichloromethane (70:30, v/v) as the organic solvent. Robotic liquid-handling workstations were used for all liquid transfer and solution preparation steps and resulted in a short sample preparation time. After vortexing, centrifugation, and freezing, the supernatant organic solvent was evaporated and reconstituted in a small volume of reconstitution solution. Sample analysis was performed by utilizing the combination of RP-HPLC/MS/MS, with positive-ion electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring detection. The chromatographic run time was set at 1.8 min with a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min on a Nucleosil octylsilyl (C8) analytical column. The method was proven to be sensitive, specific, accurate, and precise for the determination of pantoprazole in human plasma. The method was applied to a bioequivalence study after per os administration of a 40 mg pantoprazole gastric retentive tablet.  相似文献

High-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS) is increasingly perceived to be an essential tool in drug discovery at many key steps, like drug screening, lead identification, ADME profiling, and drug metabolism and pharmacology studies. High-throughput screenings in the early phase for metabolic stability, protein binding, permeability (ADME) and bioavailability are widely used to weed out compounds that do not exhibit the necessary characteristics. For such high-throughput LC/MS studies, a generic LC/MS method that can be used for a variety of compounds is desired. In this study, we used a small set of compounds with a wide range of properties to guide method development, and achieved a sample throughput of 1.7 min/sample. Here, we present a generic fast method that achieves good peak separation and peak shape on conventional HPLC systems using a column-switching mechanism for on-line solid-phase extraction (SPE)-HPLC/MS analysis. The method has a linear response range from 1 to 500 nM for the tested compounds. When a larger set of 658 randomly picked small molecules were analyzed using this method, 612 were observed with good signal intensity and HPLC peak shapes. This generic fast SPE-LC/MS method has been used to screen more than 1.5 million compounds repetitively against over 200 protein targets for hit confirmation and semi-quantitation of binding constants from biological assays. Over 7000 different compounds for a variety of protein-binding assays have been studied using this method for quantitative analysis as well.  相似文献

High-throughput metabolic screening has been requested routinely to keep pace with high-throughput organic synthesis. Liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) with a fast gradient has become the method of choice for the task due to its sensitivity and selectivity. We have developed an automated system that consists of a robotic system for in vitro incubation and a commercially available software package for automatic MS/MS method development. A short, generic LC gradient and MS conditions that are applicable to most compounds have been developed to minimize the method development time and data analysis. This system has been used to support a number of in vitro screening assays in early drug discovery phase including microsomal stability and protein binding.  相似文献

This paper describes a fully automated online method for solid-phase extraction coupled with liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry using atmospheric pressure ionization (LC-LC-APPI-MS/MS) to simultaneously detect selected dissolved natural and synthetic hormones at concentrations as low as 5 ng/L from aqueous matrices. The method shows excellent performance for the direct analysis of water and wastewater with respect to calibration curve linearity, analytic specificity, sensitivity, and carryover, as well as overall method accuracy and precision. With a runtime of 15 min, a minimum of 200 samples were analyzed using a single online solid-phase extraction (SPE) column without noticeable differences in system performance. Because of the ruggedness and simplicity of this system, generic methods can be easily developed and applied for the high-throughput analysis of a wide variety of compounds without the need to resort to laborious offline SPE sample preparation.  相似文献

The demand for high sensitivity bioanalytical methods has dramatically increased in the drug discovery stage; in addition, there has been a growing trend of reducing the sample volume that is required for these assays. A sensitive high-performance liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC/MS/MS) procedure has been developed and tested to meet these needs. The assay requires only a low plasma sample volume (10 microL) and employs a protein precipitation procedure using a 1:6 plasma/acetonitrile ratio. The supernatant is injected directly into the LC/MS/MS system using the selected reaction monitoring (SRM) procedure for detection. A generic HPLC gradient based on a methanol/water mobile phase with a flow rate set to 0.8 mL/min was used. The test method showed very good linearity between 0.1-1000 ng/mL (R2 = 0.9737), precision (%RSD = 6-9), accuracy (%RE = -2) and reproducibility (%RSD = 11). A drug discovery IV/PO study was assayed using both the new low volume method and our standard volume (50 microL) method. The correlation of the two sets of data from the two methods was excellent (R2 = 0.9287). This new assay procedure has been successfully used in our laboratory for over 100 different rat or mouse discovery PK studies.  相似文献

A simple HPLC method has been developed to measure imatinib and N‐desmethylimatinib (norimatinib) in plasma or serum at concentrations attained during therapy. Adaptation of this method to LC‐MS/MS also allows dasatinib assay. A small sample volume (100 μL HPLC‐UV, 50 μL LC‐MS/MS) is required and analysis time is <5 min in each case. Detection was by UV (270 nm) or selective reaction monitoring (two transitions per analyte) tandem mass spectrometry. Assay calibration was linear (0.05–10 mg/L imatinib, 0.01–2.0 mg/L norimatinib and 1–200 µg/L dasatinib), with acceptable accuracy (86–114%) and precision (<14% RSD) for both methods. A comparison between whole blood and plasma confirmed that plasma is the preferred sample for imatinib and norimatinib assay. For dasatinib, although whole blood concentrations were slightly higher, plasma is still the preferred sample. Despite considerable variation in the (median, range) plasma imatinib and norimatinib concentrations in patient samples [1.66 (0.02–4.96) and 0.32 (0.01–0.99) mg/L, respectively, N = 104], plasma imatinib was >1 mg/L (suggested target for response) in all but one sample from patients achieving complete molecular response. As to dasatinib, the median (range) plasma dasatinib concentration was 13 (2‐143) µg/L (N = 33). More observations are needed to properly assess the potential role of therapeutic drug monitoring in guiding treatment with dasatinib. Copyright © 2012 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.  相似文献

Retinoic acid isomers, 4-oxo-retinoic acid isomers and retinol are present in the serum of mammals. In this study a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation, sample preparation and tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) method was established for quick and easy sample preparation and sensitive determination of retinoids such as all-trans-4-oxo-retinoic acid, 13-cis-4-oxo-retinoic acid, 13-cis-retinoic acid, 9-cis-retinoic acid, all-trans-retinoic acid and retinol in serum and cell extracts. Serum samples were simply treated with three times the volume of isopropanol, dried under vacuum, taken up in the HPLC solvent and immediately put into the autosampler for an automated single-run HPLC analysis. With this MS/MS method we were able to detect 7 pg and quantify 20 pg of all-trans-retinoic acid, 4-oxo-all-trans-retinoic acid and retinol directly on-column and were able to determine a concentration as low as 0.2 ng/mL in ethanolic standards and in biological samples. This method allows ultra-sensitive detection, excellent selectivity and a very simple sample preparation to determine retinoic acids, 4-oxo-retinoic acids and retinol in serum and cell extracts for the study of endogenous retinoids.  相似文献

There is a continuing need for increased throughput in the evaluation of new drug entities in terms of their pharmacokinetic (PK) parameters. This report describes an alternative procedure for increasing the throughput of plasma samples assayed in one overnight analysis: the use of parallel high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) combined with tandem mass spectrometry (parallel LC/MS/MS). For this work, two HPLC systems were linked so that their combined effluent flowed into one tandem MS system. The parallel HPLC/APCI-MS/MS system consisted of two Waters 2690 Alliance systems (each one included an HPLC pump and an autosampler) and one Finnigan TSQ 7000 triple quadrupole mass spectrometer. Therefore, the simultaneous chromatographic separation of the plasma samples was carried out in parallel on two HPLC systems. The MS data system was able to deconvolute the data to calculate the results for the samples. Using this system, 20 compounds were tested in one overnight assay using the rapid rat PK screening model which includes a total of 10 standards plus samples and two solvent blanks per compound tested. This application provides an additional means of increasing throughput in the drug discovery PK assay arena; using this approach a two-fold increase in throughput can be achieved in the assay part of the drug discovery rat PK screening step.  相似文献

The application of 384-well format solid phase extraction (SPE) for bioanalysis using liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is reported and a 384-well SPE method for the 5-HT agonist sumatriptan in human plasma described. Plasma samples were extracted on a prototype low-density polyethylene 384-well SPE block using a packed bed of 5 mg Oasistrade mark HLB. Liquid handling was automated by a combination of a robotic sampler processor and a 96/384 multi-channel dispensing station. Samples and SPE reagents were drawn through the SPE block by centrifugation. The extracts were analysed by LC/MS/MS with thermally and pneumatically assisted electrospray ionisation and selected reaction monitoring. The method is used to illustrate and discuss the feasibility and viability of sample preparation techniques in high-density microtitre plate format for routine bioanalysis.  相似文献

A higher-throughput bioanalytical method based on fast-gradient (1 min run time) high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) was developed for screen-type analyses of plasma samples from early drug discovery studies in support of exploratory pharmacodynamic studies. The HPLC system equipped with minibore column was interfaced with either atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) or electrospray (ESI) ionization techniques. The matrix ion suppression effect of both quantitative HPLC/MS/MS analyses was compared using the post-column infusion system. The use of the described methods provided advantages such as a shorter chromatographic region of ion suppression, less solvent consumption and shorter run times in comparison with standard analytical column HPLC/MS/MS methods. The analytical results obtained by both HPLC/MS/MS methods were in good agreement (within 15% of error) and displayed a good correlation with the pharmacodynamic outcome.  相似文献

In this work, a high-throughput and high-performance bioanalytical system is described that is capable of extracting and analyzing 1152 plasma samples within 10 hours. A Zymark track robot system interfaced with a Tecan Genesis liquid handler was used for simultaneous solid-phase extraction of four 96-well plates in a fully automated fashion. The extracted plasma samples were injected onto four parallel monolithic columns for separation via a four-injector autosampler. The use of monolithic columns allowed for fast and well-resolved separations at a considerably higher flow rate without generating significant column backpressure. This resulted in a total chromatographic run cycle time of 2 min on each 4.6 x 100 mm column using gradient elution. The effluent from the four columns was directed to a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer equipped with an indexed four-probe electrospray ionization source (Micromass MUX interface). Hence, sample extraction, separation, and detection were all performed in a four-channel parallel format that resulted in an overall throughput of about 30 s per sample from plasma. The performance of this system was evaluated by extracting and by analyzing twelve 96-well plates (1152) of human plasma samples spiked with oxazepam at different concentrations. The relative standard deviation (RSD) of analyte sensitivity (slope of calibration curve) across the four channels and across the 12 plates was 5.2 and 6.8%, respectively. An average extraction recovery of 77.6% with a RSD of 7.7% and an average matrix effect of 0.95 with a RSD of 5.2% were achieved using these generic extraction and separation conditions. The good separation efficiency provided by this system allowed for rapid method development of an assay quantifying the drug candidate and its close structural analog metabolite. The method was cross-validated with a conventional liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) assay.  相似文献

The capability of ultra performance liquid chromatography coupled with time-of-flight mass spectrometry (UPLC/TOFMS) in the high-throughput quantitative analysis of a drug candidate in plasma has been investigated. Data obtained were compared with results from conventional analysis by high-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometric detection on a triple quadrupole instrument (HPLC/MS/MS). The accuracies and precisions of the two approaches were comparable. The UPLC/TOFMS system displayed excellent robustness over the course of 276 injections of protein-precipitated plasma samples. With the instrumentation used, the limits of detection and quantification were approximately five-fold higher with UPLC/TOFMS than for HPLC/MS/MS. Nevertheless, the UPLC/TOFMS system proved adequate to quantify plasma concentrations of a drug molecule administered orally to rats at a pharmacologically relevant dose of 4 mg/kg. As well as providing quantitative data on the test compound, it was also possible to extract data for eight different metabolites, including several isomeric species (three +O and three +2O) from the UPLC/TOFMS data sets, using an analytical method with a 2.5-minute run time. Selectivity for the test compound and its metabolites was derived from the accurate mass capabilities of the TOF instrument, and no MS method development was required.  相似文献
