| Abstract: | A liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) method has been developed for the fast routine analysis of selected CYP450 probe substrate metabolites in microsomal incubations, with no sample pretreatment. This has allowed fast and simple assessment of the potential effects which drug candidates may or may not have on the metabolism of specific CYP450 probe substrates, providing information which can then be used to rationalize in vivo interaction studies required in the clinic. This methodology takes advantage of fast gradient chromatography as a generic means of sample separation and analysis. It provides high throughput analysis compared to conventional gradient HPLC, with no significant loss in chromatographic performance. © 1998 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
