JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2024; 35:960-971.

Abstract
In Asia, some herbal preparations have been found to be adulterated with undeclared synthetic medicines to increase their therapeutic efficiency. Many of these adulterants were found to be toxic when overdosed and have been documented to bring about severe, even life-threatening acute poisoning events. The objective of this study is to develop a rapid and sensitive ambient ionization mass spectrometric platform to characterize the undeclared toxic adulterated ingredients in herbal preparations. Several common adulterants were spiked into different herbal preparations and human sera to simulate the clinical conditions of acute poisoning. They were then sampled with a metallic probe and analyzed by the thermal desorption-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. The experimental parameters including sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and turnaround time were prudently optimized in this study. Since tedious and time-consuming pretreatment of the sample is unnecessary, the toxic adulterants could be characterized within 60 s. The results can help emergency physicians to make clinical judgments and prescribe appropriate antidotes or supportive treatment in a time-sensitive manner.

Abstract
In the emergency department, it is important to rapidly identify the toxic substances that have led to acute poisoning because different toxicants or toxins cause poisoning through different mechanisms, requiring disparate therapeutic strategies and precautions against contraindicating actions, and diverse directions of clinical course monitoring and prediction of prognosis. Ambient ionization mass spectrometry, a state-of-the-art technology, has been proved to be a fast, accurate, and user-friendly tool for rapidly identifying toxicants like residual pesticides on fruits and vegetables. In view of this, developing an analytical platform that explores the application of such a cutting-edge technology in a novel direction has been initiated a research program, namely, the rapid identification of toxic substances which might have caused acute poisoning in patients who visit the emergency department and requires an accurate diagnosis for correct clinical decision-making to bring about corresponding data-guided management. This review includes (i) a narrative account of the breakthrough in emergency toxicology brought about by the advent of ambient ionization mass spectrometry and (ii) a thorough discussion about the clinical implications and technical limitations of such a promising innovation for promoting toxicological tests from tier two-level to tier one level.

Abstract
Phenytoin is a powerful antiseizure drug with complex pharmacokinetic properties, making it an interesting model drug to use in preclinical in vivo investigations, especially with regards to formulations aiming to improve drug delivery to the brain. Moreover, it has a major metabolite, 5‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5‐phenylhydantoin, which can be simultaneously studied to achieve a better assessment of its behaviour in the body. Here, we describe the development and validation of a sensitive LCMS/MS method for quantification of phenytoin and 5‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5‐phenylhydantoin in rat plasma and brain which can be used in such preclinical studies. Calibration curves produced covered a range of 7.81 to 250 ng/mL (plasma) and 23.4 to 750 ng/g (brain tissue) for both analytes. The method was validated for specificity, sensitivity, accuracy, and precision and found to be within the acceptable limits of ±15% over this range in both tissue types. The method when applied in two in vivo investigations: validation of a seizure model and to study the behaviour of a solution of intranasally administered phenytoin as a foundation for future studies into direct nose‐to‐brain delivery of phenytoin using specifically developed particulate systems, was highly sensitive for detecting phenytoin and 5‐(4‐hydroxyphenyl)‐5‐phenylhydantoin in rat plasma and brain.

Abstract
Mass spectrometry-based assays have been increasingly implemented in various disciplines in clinical diagnostic laboratories for their combined advantages in multiplexing capacity and high analytical specificity and sensitivity. It is now routinely used in areas including reference methods development, therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, endocrinology, paediatrics, immunology and microbiology to identify and quantify biomolecules in a variety of biological specimens. As new ionisation methods, instrumentation and techniques are continuously being improved and developed, novel mass spectrometry-based clinical applications will emerge for areas such as proteomics, metabolomics, haematology and anatomical pathology. This review will summarise the general principles of mass spectrometry and specifically highlight current and future clinical applications in anatomical pathology.

RAPID COMMUNICATIONS IN MASS SPECTROMETRY : RCM 2016; 30:1295-1303. [PMID: 27173111 DOI: 10.1002/rcm.7557] [Citation(s) in RCA: 19] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.4] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/31/2015] [Revised: 03/10/2016] [Accepted: 03/10/2016] [Indexed: 06/05/2023]
Abstract
RATIONALE Acute poisoning should be handled with high efficiency in order to minimize morbidity and mortality in the emergency room. Unfortunately, history-taking and physical examination are not always reliable. Mis-swallowing of oral medications is common in the pediatric group. This study aimed at developing a rapid point-of-care ambient mass spectrometric method for the early identification of ingested oral medications in gastric lavage content. METHODS Four different types of oral medications that are most commonly mis-swallowed by children were diluted to different concentrations. Each of these chemical solutions was mixed with human gastric lavage content. A direct metallic sampling probe was dipped into the solution. It was then inserted promptly into the thermal desorption electrospray ionization source to carry out ionization and subsequent mass spectrometric analysis of the medications. The corresponding compounds were identified through matching of the obtained mass spectrometric data with those provided by well-established databases. RESULTS Since no pretreatment of the specimen was required, the sampling step, and the subsequent thermal desorption electrospray ionization and mass spectrometric detection of the medications were completed within 30 s. Mass spectra were obtained for four different kinds of oral medication. The limit-of-detection of the four tested oral medications in gastric lavage content is at sub-ppm level, which is sensitive enough for emergency medicine applications since the quantities of medications ingested by pediatric patients are usually much higher. CONCLUSIONS Thermal desorption electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, with informational support provided by an online mass spectral database, allows for early point-of-care identification of mis-swallowed oral medications in the evacuated gastric lavage contents obtained from gastric lavage of patients in the emergency room, and it is promising in providing important toxicological information to ensure the appropriateness of the subsequent medical management.

Abstract
Phenytoin (diphenylhydantoin) is an anticonvulsant drug that has been used for decades for the treatment of many types of seizures. The drug is highly protein bound and measurement of free-active form of the drug is warranted particularly in patients with conditions that can affect drug protein binding. Here, we describe a LC/MS/MS method for the measurement of free phenytoin. Free drug is separated by ultrafiltration of serum or plasma. Ultrafiltrate is treated with acetonitrile containing internal standard phenytoin d-10 to precipitate proteins. The mixture is centrifuged and supernatant is injected onto LC-MS-MS, and analyzed using multiple reaction monitoring. This method is linear from 0.1 to 4.0 μg/mL and does not demonstrate any significant ion suppression or enhancement.

Abstract
Clinical laboratory medicine has seen the introduction and evolution of liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry in routine clinical laboratories over the last 10–15 years. There still exists a wide diversity of assays from very esoteric and highly specialist manual assays to more simplified kit-based assays. The technology is not static as manufacturers are continually making improvements. Mass spectrometry is now commonly used in several areas of diagnostics including therapeutic drug monitoring, toxicology, endocrinology, paediatrics and microbiology. Some of the most high throughput analyses or common analytes include vitamin D, immunosuppressant monitoring, androgen measurement and newborn screening. It also offers flexibility for the measurement of analytes in a variety of different matrices which would prove difficult with immunoassays. Unlike immunoassays or high-pressure liquid chromatography assays using ultraviolet or fluorescence detection, mass spectrometry offers better specificity and reduced interferences if attention is paid to potential isobaric compounds. Furthermore, multiplexing, which enables multiple analytes to be measured with the same volume of serum is advantageous, and the requirement for large sample volumes is decreasing as instrument sensitivity increases. There are many emerging applications in the literature. Using mass spectrometry to identify novel isoforms or modified peptides is possible as is quantification of proteins and peptides, with or without protein digests. Future developments by the manufacturers may also include mechanisms to improve the throughput of samples and strategies to decrease the level of skill required by the operators.

Abstract
For many years, fluorescence polarization immunoassay (FPIA) on the TDx analyzer has been used for determination of free phenytoin concentration. Recently Abbott Laboratories decided to discontinue the TDx analyzer and related assays on this analyzer. Free phenytoin assay is also available from Roche Diagnostics for application on the Cobas Integra analyzer (fluorescence polarization assay) but not on Cobas c510 analyzer. Free phenytoin calibrators from the Cobas Integra free phenytoin assay and the reagents from the KIMSphenytoin assay were used for the determination of free phenytoin on the Cobas c501 analyzer. The intra-run and inter-run precisions were both <7.2%. The assay was linear from 0.2 to 4 μg/ml. The free phenytoin assay on the Cobas c501 was compared with the FPIAassay on the TDx analyzer using sera from 25 patients receiving phenytoin (phenytoin concentration between 0.3 and 3.7 μg/ml). The following regression equation was observed: y = 0.9899 x + 0.0408 (r = 0.98, n = 25). In conclusion, the free phenytoin assay on the Cobas c501 analyzer is a valid alternative to free phenytoin assay on the TDx analyzer.

Abstract
Measurement of drugs and their metabolites in biological fluids is the foundation of both therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) and toxicology. Though different in their application, each discipline depends upon accurate identification and quantification if the measurements are to be useful. Thousands of methods are described for drug analysis but until recently most have relied upon analytical tools, such as spectrophotometry and immunoassay, that suffer from lack of specificity and sensitivity. The introduction of methods based on mass spectrometry (MS), coupled to gas or liquid chromatography, has revolutionized these areas. The methods are proving to be robust, versatile, and economical. This chapter introduces the reader to the application of MS to TDM and toxicology, the steps that should be considered during implementation, and the processes that should be implemented to assure continued quality.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To conduct a systematic review for the evidence supporting or disproving the reality of parenteral nutrition- antiepileptic drugs interaction, especially with respect to the plasma protein-binding of the drug. METHODS The articles related to the topic were identified through Medline and PubMed search (1968-Feburary 2010) for English language on the interaction between parenteral nutrition and antiepileptic drugs; the search terms used were anti-epileptic drugs, parenteral nutrition, and/or interaction, and/or in vitro. The search looked for prospective randomized and nonrandomized controlled studies; prospective nonrandomized uncontrolled studies; retrospective studies; case reports; and in vitro studies. Full text of the articles were then traced from the Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM) library subscribed databases, including Wiley-Blackwell Library, Cochrane Library, EBSCOHost, OVID, ScienceDirect, SAGE Premier, Scopus, SpringerLINK, and Wiley InterScience. The articles from journals not listed by USM library were traced through inter library loan. RESULTS There were interactions between parenteral nutrition and drugs, including antiepileptics. Several guidelines were designed for the management of illnesses such as traumatic brain injuries or cancer patients, involving the use of parenteral nutrition and antiepileptics. Moreover, many studies demonstrated the in vitro and in vivo parenteral nutrition -drugs interactions, especially with antiepileptics. CONCLUSIONS There was no evidence supporting the existence of parenteral nutrition-antiepileptic drugs interaction. The issue has not been studied in formal researches, but several case reports and anecdotes demonstrate this drug-nutrition interaction. However, alteration in the drug-free fraction result from parenteral nutrition-drug (i.e. antiepileptics) interactions may necessitate scrupulous reassessment of drug dosages in patients receiving these therapies. This reassessment may be particularly imperative in certain clinical situations characterized by hypoalbuminemia (e.g., burn patients).

Abstract
AbstractThe construction and performance characteristics of phenytoin sodium selective electrodes are detailed. Two types of electrodes: plastic membrane I and coated wire II, were constructed based on the incorporation of phenytoin sodium with tungstosilicic acid. The influence of membrane composition, kind of plasticizer, pH of the test solution, soaking time and the electrodes’ foreign ions were investigated. The electrodes showed a Nernstian response with a mean calibration graph slope of 30.9±0.1 and 28.9±0.1 mV decade−1 at 25°C for electrode I and II respectively, over a phenytoin sodium concentration range of 5×10−3−5×10−6 M and 1×10−3−1×10−6 M with a detection limit 1.3×10−6 M and 2.5×10−7 M for electrode I and II, respectively. The electrodes gave average selective precision and were usable within the pH range 6–10. Interference studies from common cations, alkaloids, sugars, amino acids and drug excipients are reported. The results obtained by the proposed electrodes were also applied successfully for the determination of the drug in pharmaceutical preparations and biological fluids.

Abstract
Drugs are bound to various serum proteins in different degrees and only unbound or free drug is pharmacologically active. Although free drug concentration can be estimated from total concentration, for strongly bound drugs, prediction of free level is not always possible. Conditions like uremia, liver disease and hypoalbuminemia can lead to significant increases in free drug resulting in drug toxicity even if the concentration of total drug is within therapeutic range. Drug-drug interactions may also lead to a disproportionate increase in free drug concentrations. Elderly patients may have increased free drug concentrations due to hypoalbuminemia. Elevated free phenytoin concentrations have also been reported in patients with AIDS and pregnancy. Currently free drug concentrations of anticonvulsants such as phenytoin, carbamazepine and valproic acid are widely measured in clinical laboratories. Newer drugs such as mycophenolic acid mofetil and certain protease inhibitors are also considered as candidates for monitoring free drug concentration.

Abstract
Anticonvulsants, or antiepileptic drugs (AEDs), are a vital tool in the therapeutic management of epilepsy patients. However, many AEDs are commonly used in the management of nonepileptic conditions, such as chronic pain, migraine headaches and psychiatric disorders. It is well documented that serum drug levels are an important data tool for the management of patients taking these drugs. As we move toward the personalized optimization of pharmacotherapy, drug level data will not be sufficient. This article will review tools for therapeutic drug management of AEDs including pharmacogenetics and biomarkers, in addition to traditional serum drug levels.

Abstract
Fluoxetine (F) and its active N-demethylated metabolite, norfluoxetine (NF), are selective serotonin re-uptake inhibitors that bind extensively to plasma proteins. Development and validation of a novel method for measuring free concentrations of F and NF in plasma are reported here. The plasma filtrate was prepared by a high-speed short-duration ultrafiltration (UF) and then submitted directly to a short-column liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometric (LC/MS/MS) assay. There was no significant matrix effect on the analysis, and non-specific binding of the analytes to the UF devices was negligible. For validation of the method, the recovery of the free analytes was compared to that from an optimized equilibrium dialysis method, and analyte stability was examined under conditions mimicking the sample storage, handling, and analysis procedures. The linearity range was 0.37-12 ng/mL for F and NF; the within-run and between-run relative standard deviations were less than 11.9%, and accuracies across the assay range were 100 +/- 10.3%. This new method was then further validated in a pharmacokinetic (PK) study in beagle dogs receiving a single oral dose of fluoxetine hydrochloride. The integrity of the resulting PK data of free F and NF was absolute. The PK data indicate that the novel method is accurate and reliable. To our knowledge this is the first report describing a rapid and reliable method for direct measurement of free concentrations of F and NF in plasma, which will be useful for clinical pharmacokinetic/pharmacodynamic studies of F. Furthermore, the strategies described herein may be applied to the development and validation of methods for measuring the free concentrations of other drugs in plasma.

Abstract
The quantitative predictive abilities of partial least squares (PLS-1) and principle component regression (PCR) on absorption (zero-order) UV spectra are compared with the results obtained by the use of these multivariate calibration methods on first-order derivative spectra. Both approaches were satisfactorily applied to the simultaneous determination of these drugs in synthetic and pharmaceutical mixtures. Significant advantages were found in the simultaneous determination of phenytoin, barbital and caffeine in binary and ternary mixtures, by application of different multivariate calibration methods when the calibration matrix was performed using the first-order derivative spectra. The proposed method was validated by applying it to the analysis of binary and ternary mixtures of phenytoin, barbital and caffeine. Determinations were made over the concentration ranges of 0.24-22.0, 0.01-27.0 and 0.049-27.0 microg ml(-1) for phenytoin, barbital and caffeine, respectively, in the binary and 0.45-22.0, 0.05-26.0 and 0.05-20.0 microg ml(-1) for phenytoin, barbital and caffeine, respectively, in the ternary mixtures. The relative standard errors in the determinations were less than 3% in most cases.

Abstract
A semi-automatic, high-throughput method has been developed to rapidly assess plasma protein binding of new chemical entities in drug discovery phase. New chemical entities are mixed with plasma and the unbound fractions are separated from the bound fraction by ultrafiltration in a 96-well filtrate assembly. The unbound fractions are then analyzed by fast liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Sample handling is automated by a robotic system. Employing a cocktail approach where multiple new chemical entities are allowed to bind to plasma proteins in the same well has further increased the throughput. We have validated the method with 12 commercially available compounds. The plasma protein binding data obtained by this method are comparable with the literature values. This method enables the determination of protein binding for 32 compounds in one single experiment instead of 1-2 compounds using the conventional methods.

Abstract
A method was developed and validated for the quantification of (+/-)-trans-[2-morpholino-1-(1-naphthalene-ethyloxy]cyclohexane monohydrochloride (RSD1070) and its N-dealkyl metabolite in rat plasma and hepatic microsomal incubates. Chromatographic separations were achieved using reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with positive ion electrospray ionization and detection by tandem mass spectrometry. The assay was linear from 2.5 to 100 ng/ml and this range was used for validation. Inter- and intra-assay variability (n=6), extraction recovery, and stability in plasma were assessed. The estimated limit of quantitation was in the range 2.5-3 ng/ml for both analytes in rat plasma. The analytical method was used in a pharmacokinetic study of RSD1070 in rats after a single i.v. bolus of 12 mg/kg.
