Abstract: | The process of metabolite identification is essential to the drug discovery and development process; this is usually achieved by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) or a combination of liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. Metabolite identification is, however, a time-consuming process requiring an experienced skilled scientist. Multivariate statistical analysis has been used in the field of metabonomics to elucidate differences in endogenous biological profiling due to a toxic effect or a disease state. In this paper we show how a combination of liquid chromatography/time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC/TOFMS) and multivariate statistical analysis can be used to detect drug metabolites in a biological fluid with no prior knowledge of the compound administered. |
