Abstract
Natural products are the most consistently successful source of drug leads. The rapid identification of known compounds from natural product extracts, or ‘dereplication’, is an important step in an efficiently run drug discovery program. Modern spectroscopic methods have largely revolutionized compound identification and tremendously accelerated the pace at which isolated compounds can be identified. Dereplication strategies use analytical techniques and database searching to determine the identity of an active compound at the earliest possible stage in the discovery process. This prevents wasted effort on samples with no potential for development and allows resources to be focused on the most promising lead. In the past few years, advances in technology have allowed the development of tandem analytical techniques, such as HPLC-PDA, LC-MS, LC-MS-MS, LC-NMR, and LC-NMR-MS. This review describes the principles and performance of a number of hyphenated techniques involving LC-MS that can be used for dereplication of natural products for rapid lead identification.

Prentice BM, Chumbley CW, Caprioli RM. Absolute Quantification of Rifampicin by MALDI Imaging Mass Spectrometry Using Multiple TOF/TOF Events in a Single Laser Shot. JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN SOCIETY FOR MASS SPECTROMETRY 2017; 28:136-144. [PMID: 27655354 PMCID: PMC5177505 DOI: 10.1007/s13361-016-1501-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 47] [Impact Index Per Article: 6.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2016] [Revised: 08/31/2016] [Accepted: 09/02/2016] [Indexed: 05/13/2023]
Abstract
Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization imaging mass spectrometry (MALDI IMS) allows for the visualization of molecular distributions within tissue sections. While providing excellent molecular specificity and spatial information, absolute quantification by MALDI IMS remains challenging. Especially in the low molecular weight region of the spectrum, analysis is complicated by matrix interferences and ionization suppression. Though tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) can be used to ensure chemical specificity and improve sensitivity by eliminating chemical noise, typical MALDI MS/MS modalities only scan for a single MS/MS event per laser shot. Herein, we describe TOF/TOF instrumentation that enables multiple fragmentation events to be performed in a single laser shot, allowing the intensity of the analyte to be referenced to the intensity of the internal standard in each laser shot while maintaining the benefits of MS/MS. This approach is illustrated by the quantitative analyses of rifampicin (RIF), an antibiotic used to treat tuberculosis, in pooled human plasma using rifapentine (RPT) as an internal standard. The results show greater than 4-fold improvements in relative standard deviation as well as improved coefficients of determination (R2) and accuracy (>93% quality controls, <9% relative errors). This technology is used as an imaging modality to measure absolute RIF concentrations in liver tissue from an animal dosed in vivo. Each microspot in the quantitative image measures the local RIF concentration in the tissue section, providing absolute pixel-to-pixel quantification from different tissue microenvironments. The average concentration determined by IMS is in agreement with the concentration determined by HPLC-MS/MS, showing a percent difference of 10.6%. Graphical Abstract ᅟ.

Abstract
Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry, employing electrospray ionization (ESI), has been applied in the analysis of many drugs and drug metabolites. Sample preparation has been an important part of this technique when analyzing biological samples. Here we describe a high-volume urine screening technique for approximately 40 different drugs of abuse as well as methods for quantification of many other drugs in serum, plasma, and whole blood. These techniques can be used in many different settings from clinical and forensic toxicology examinations to pharmacokinetic studies. Sample preparation procedures range from simple "dilute and shoot" methods to more extensive solid-phase extraction techniques.

Abstract
Here we describe a high-volume urinary screening technique for opiate drugs as well as other narcotic analgesics. We also describe methods for quantification of the same drug species in serum, plasma, and whole blood. Screening and quantitation of these types of drugs have presented many challenges, among them the potentially low levels in both abuse and therapeutic situations. Liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS), employing electrospray ionization (ESI), has been able to provide the sensitivity needed for the analysis of many drugs and metabolites. These techniques can be used in many different settings from clinical and forensic toxicology examinations to pharmacokinetic studies and, with appropriate considerations, be applied to different sample matrices. Sample preparation procedures range from simple "dilute and shoot" methods to more extensive solid-phase extraction techniques.

Abstract
Background: Automated methodologies using silica-based, monolithic, micropipette tip-based SPE have been developed for the analysis of small molecules in support of both preclinical and first-in-human development studies using LC–MS/MS. The use of micropipette tip-based SPE with the Tomtec Quadra 96® and the evaluation of prototype micropipette tips for use with the Hamilton Microlab® Star robot is outlined. Results: Mixed-mode cation exchange and C18 SPE methods have been developed using human and rat plasma for the extraction of lipophilic and polar analytes. These methods are advantageous as they use low plasma sample, washing and elution volumes and result in a method extraction cycle time of approximately 6.2 min for 96 samples. Conclusion: This significantly reduced extraction time, compared with 96-well plate format SPE, indicates that the sample preparation stage is no longer the rate-limiting stage in performing a selective extraction procedure. Robust and sensitive methods have been developed that have proven to be more cost effective than traditional 96-well plate format SPE methods.

Abstract
Recently, promising fasciocidal activities of artesunate and artemether were described in rats and sheep. Therefore, a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed to quantify artesunate, artemether and their metabolites dihydroartemisinin and dihydroartemisinin-glucuronide in sheep plasma. Protein precipitation with methanol was used for sample workup. Reversed-phase high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed using an Atlantis C18 analytical column with a mobile phase gradient system of ammonium formate and acetonitrile. The analytes were detected by MS/MS using selected reaction monitoring (SRM) with electrospray ionisation in the positive mode (transition m/z 267.4 → 163.0). The analytical range for dihydroartemisinin, dihydroartemisinin-glucuronide and artesunate was 10-1000 ng/ml and for artemether 90-3000 ng/ml with a lower limit of quantification of 10 and 90 ng/ml, respectively. Inter- and intra-day accuracy and precision deviations were < 10%. Consistent relative recoveries (60-80%) were observed over the investigated calibration range for all analytes. All analytes were stable in the autosampler for at least 30 h (6 °C) and after three freeze and thaw cycles. The validation results demonstrated that the LC-MS/MS method is precise, accurate and selective and can be used for the determination of the artemisinins in sheep plasma. The method was applied successfully to determine the pharmacokinetic parameters of artesunate and its metabolites in plasma of intramuscularly treated sheep.

Abstract
AbstractBackground: We observed cases of false-positive results with the use of liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). Different LC-MS/MS techniques that use the selected reaction-monitoring mode, routinely employed for the analysis and quantification of drugs and toxic compounds in biological matrices, were involved in the false-positive and potentially false-positive results obtained. We sought to analyze the causes of and solutions to this problem.Methods: We used a previously reported LC-MS/MS general unknown screening method, as well as manual spectral investigation in 1 case, to perform verification and identification of interfering compounds.Results: We observed that false-positive results involved: a metabolite of zolpidem that might have been mistaken for lysergic acid diethylamide, benzoylecgonine mistaken for atropine, and clomipramine and 3 phenothiazines that share several common ion transitions.Conclusions: To prevent problems such as those we experienced, we recommend the use of stable-isotope internal standards when possible, relative retention times, 2 transitions or more per compound when possible, and acceptable relative abundance ratios between transitions, with an experience-based tolerance of ±15% for transitions with a relative abundance >10% and with an extension to ±25% for transitions <10% when the concentration is at the limit of quantification. A powerful general unknown screening procedure can help to confirm suspected interferences. Our results indicate that the specificity of screening procedures is questionable for LC-MS/MS analyses performed in the selected reaction-monitoring mode and involving a large number of compounds with only 1 transition per compound.

Abstract
An approach to estimating the levels of drug-related metabolites in human plasma in the absence of synthesized chemical standards has been developed. High-performance liquid chromatography/mass spectrometry (LC/MS) in combination with radiometric detection was used in this method. Biologically derived [(14)C] metabolites from preclinical in vitro and in vivo matrices are used as [(14)C] metabolite standards and their concentrations in matrices are calculated based on the corresponding radioactivity. The amount of drug-related metabolites in human plasma samples can be estimated by determining relative MS responses of metabolites between plasma and [(14)C] metabolite standards, and using the calculated concentrations of metabolite standards as calibrants. An example for the estimation of metabolites in human plasma was used to demonstrate the utility of this methodology.

Abstract
The characteristics of automated on-line solid phase extraction with liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (SPE-LC-MS) are very amenable for flexibility and throughput in therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM). We demonstrate this concept of automated, on-line SPE-LC-MS for the analysis of clozapine and metabolites (desmethylclozapine and clozapine-N-oxide) in serum. Method development, optimisation and validation are described and a comparison with previously published methods for the determination of clozapine and metabolites in serum and plasma is made. Optimisation of chromatographic and SPE conditions for increased throughput resulted in SPE-LC-MS cycle times of only about 2.2 min, demonstrating the great potential of automated on-line SPE-LC-MS for TDM. The new method is shown to be clearly favourable, in particular in terms of ease of sample handling, throughput and detection limits. Recovery is essentially quantitative. Detection limits are at about 0.15-0.3 ng ml(-1), depending on the ionisation source used. Calibration follows a quadratic model for clozapine and its N-oxide and a linear model for the desmethyl metabolite (all cases: R > 0.99). Accuracy, evaluated at three concentration levels spanning the whole therapeutic range, shows that bias is less than 10%. Precision (intra - and inter assay) ranges from about 5% R.S.D. at the high end of the therapeutic range (700-1,000 ng ml(-1)) to about 20% R.S.D. (OECD defined limit) at the lower limit of quantitation ( approximately 50 ng ml(-1)). The lower limit of quantitation is well below the low end of the therapeutic range at 350 ng ml(-1).

Abstract
O(6)-Methyl-2'-deoxyguanosine (O(6)-mdGuo), 8-oxo-7,8-dihydro-2'-deoxyguanosine (8-oxodGuo), and 1,N(6)-etheno-2'-deoxyadenosine (epsilondAdo) are promutagenic DNA lesions originating from both endogenous and exogenous agents and actions (methylation, hydroxylation, lipid peroxidation products). A highly sensitive quantitative method was developed to measure these DNA adducts simultaneously, using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry with column switching. Deuterated O(6)-[(2)H(3)]mdGuo was synthesized and used as internal standard. The limits of quantification for O(6)-mdGuo, 8-oxodGuo, and epsilondAdo were 24, 98, and 48 fmol on column, respectively. The method showed linearity in the range 0.24-125 pmol/ml, 0.98-125 pmol/ml, and 0.49-62.5 pmol/ml for the three adducts, respectively. The inter-day precision in the linear concentration range was between 1.7 and 9.3% for O(6)-mdGuo, 10.6 and 28.7% for 8-oxodGuo, and 6.2 and 10.4%, for epsilondAdo. In DNA isolated from liver of untreated 12-week-old female F344 rats, O(6)-mdGuo was above the limit of detection (37 adducts per 10(9) normal nucleosides) but could not be quantified. 8-oxodGuo and epsilondAdo showed background levels of 500 and 130 adducts per 10(9) normal nucleosides, respectively. DNA analyzed 1h after treatment of rats with dimethylnitrosamine by oral gavage of 50 microg/kg b.wt. did not affect the levels of 8-oxodGuo and epsilondAdo but resulted in 200 O(6)-mdGuo adducts per 10(9) normal nucleosides. The method developed will be of use to study the biological significance of exogenous DNA adducts as an increment to background DNA damage and the role of modulating factors, such as DNA repair.

Abstract
This paper reviews multi-analyte procedures for screening and quantification of drugs in blood, plasma, or serum using liquid chromatography coupled with a single stage or tandem mass spectrometer (LC-MS, LC-MS/MS). These procedures are relevant tools in clinical and forensic toxicology, and cover analysis of amphetamines, cocaine, hallucinogens, opioids, anesthetics, hypnotics, benzodiazepines, antidepressants, neuroleptics, antihistamines, sulfonylurea-type antidiabetics, beta-blockers, and other cardiac drugs. Basic information on the procedures is given in two tables and multi-analyte screening, identification, and quantification are illustrated in three figures. A critical discussion on the pros and cons of such LC-MS procedures is also included.

Abstract
Turbulent flow chromatograph (TFC) is a technique for the direct and efficient analysis of drugs and metabolites in biological matrices. We report here TFC on-line with an HPLC-MS/MS assay for the determination of 5-[2,4-dioxothiazolidin-5-yl)methyl]-2-methoxy-N-[[(4-trifluoromethyl)phenyl]methyl]benzamide (I, MK-0767, KRP297, Fig. 1) in plasma. Samples were transferred using an automated system followed by the addition of internal standard (II), prepared in 0.1 M ammonium acetate (pH 4.0). The plasma samples were directly injected onto a C18 turbulent flow column on-line with an HPLC-MS/MS system, and the analytical column used was a ThermoHypersil Keystone C18. Detection was achieved by MS/MS, using positive ionization on a TurboIonSpray probe, operated in multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode. The linear range was 4-2000 ng/mL for I when using 50 microL of plasma. The method exhibited good linearity and reproducibility. The method also showed good selectivity and ruggedness when applied to clinical samples, and was successfully cross-validated with a conventional off-line SPE, LC-MS/MS method.

Abstract
In recent years growing attention has been paid toward the discharge, presence and potential adverse effects of pharmaceuticals in the environment. Using different existing analytical methods several studies have already identified a variety of drugs in waste-, surface- and drinking water. The monitoring of surface waters for drugs is of great importance because drugs are designed to be biological very active substances. A capillary LC/ES-MS-MS method has been developed that enables the sensitive and specific detection of diazepam in water samples up to 0.1 ng/ml (LOD). It requires neither multiple extraction steps, nor the use of large volumes of organic solvent. Applying this assay we have detected diazepam in 'in/effluent samples' collected in Belgium and demonstrated the applicability for water analysis without off-line pre-concentration of the analyte.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Immunosuppressant therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) is an important requirement in the management of post-transplant patients. Our aim was to develop and evaluate a robust high-throughput method using turbulent flow chromatography (TFC) coupled with liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) for the simultaneous quantification of cyclosporin A (CsA), tacrolimus (FK 506) and sirolimus. METHODS A total of 1483 EDTA-blood pre-dosage samples from 147 kidney, 67 liver, 15 kidney/pancreas, and 48 bone marrow recipients were collected. After hemolysis and protein precipitation of 50 microl blood, fast and efficient on-line matrix elimination was achieved using turbulent flow chromatography. Tandem mass spectrometric detection and quantification was performed using multiple reaction monitoring (MRM). RESULTS The total analysis time of the column switching method was 3 min. The method was linear from 4.5 to 1500 ng/ml for cyclosporin A, from 0.2 to 100 ng/ml for tacrolimus, and from 0.4 to 100 ng/ml for sirolimus. The accuracy was >95%. Within and between-run assay variation coefficients ranged from 2.4% to 9.3%. Excellent correlation with other standard methods (immunoassay, HPLC) was observed. CONCLUSIONS The presented turbulent flow chromatography-tandem mass spectrometric platform offers a very fast, simple and economical method with an excellent validation profile and is well suited for daily pre- and post-dosage immunosuppressant monitoring.

Abstract
An analytical process generally involves four main steps: (1) sample preparation; (2) analytical separation; (3) detection; and (4) data handling. In the bioanalytical field, sample preparation is often considered as the time-limiting step. Indeed, the extraction techniques commonly used for biological matrices such as liquid-liquid extraction (LLE) and solid-phase extraction (SPE) are achieved in the off-line mode. In order to perform a high throughput analysis, efforts have been engaged in developing a faster sample purification process. Among different strategies, the introduction of special extraction sorbents, such as the restricted access media (RAM) and large particle supports (LPS), allowing the direct and repetitive injection of complex biological matrices, represents a very attractive approach. Integrated in a liquid chromatography (LC) system, these extraction supports lead to the automation, simplification and speeding up of the sample preparation process. In this paper, RAM and LPS are reviewed and particular attention is given to commercially available supports. Applications of these extraction supports, are presented in single column and column-switching configurations, for the direct analysis of compounds in various biological fluids.

Abstract
To support pharmacokinetic and drug metabolism studies, LC-MS/MS plays more and more an essential role for the quantitation of drugs and their metabolites in biological matrices. With the new challenges encountered in drug discovery and drug development, new strategies are put in place to achieve high-throughput analysis, using serial and parallel approaches. To speed-up method development and validation, generic approaches with the direct injection of biological fluids is highly desirable. Column-switching, using various packing materials for the extraction columns, is widely applied. Improvement of mass spectrometers performance, and in particular triple quadrupoles, also strongly influences sample preparation strategies, which remain a key element in the bioanalytical process.
