Abstract
![]()
Ischemic stroke is
a complex systemic disease characterized by
high morbidity, disability, and mortality. The activation of the presynaptic
adenosine A2A and A1 receptors modifies a variety
of brain insults from excitotoxicity to stroke. Therefore, the discovery
of dual A2A/A1 adenosine receptor (AR)-targeting
therapeutic compounds could be a strategy for the treatment of ischemic
stroke. Inspired by two clinical phase III drugs, ASP-5854 (dual A2A/A1 AR antagonist) and preladenant (selective
A2A AR antagonist), and using the hybrid medicinal strategy,
we characterized novel pyridone-substituted triazolopyrimidine scaffolds
as dual A2A/A1 AR antagonists. Among them, compound 1a exerted excellent A2A/A1 AR binding
affinity (Ki = 5.58/24.2
nM), an antagonistic effect (IC50 = 5.72/25.9 nM), and
good metabolic stability in human liver microsomes, rat liver microsomes,
and dog liver microsomes. Importantly, compound 1a demonstrated
a dose–effect relationship in the oxygen-glucose deprivation/reperfusion
(OGD/R)-treated HT22 cell model. These findings support the development
of dual A2A/A1 AR antagonists as a potential
treatment for ischemic stroke.

Abstract
Metabolite profiling is an indispensable part of drug discovery and development, enabling a comprehensive understanding of the drug's metabolic behavior. Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry facilitates metabolite profiling by reducing sample complexity and providing high sensitivity. This review discusses the in vivo metabolite profiling involving LC-MS/MS and the utilization of QTOF, QQQ mass analyzers with a particular emphasis on a mass filter. Further, a summary of sample extraction procedures in biological matrices such as plasma, urine, feces, serum and hair as in vivo samples are outlined. toward the end, we present 15 case studies in biological matrices and their LC-MS/MS conditions to understand the metabolic disposition.

Abstract
The adenosine A2A receptor (A2AR) represents a potential therapeutic target for neurodegenerative diseases. Aiming at the development of a positron emission tomography (PET) radiotracer to monitor changes of receptor density and/or occupancy during the A2AR-tailored therapy, we designed a library of fluorinated analogs based on a recently published lead compound (PPY). Among those, the highly affine 4-fluorobenzyl derivate (PPY1; Ki(hA2AR) = 5.3 nM) and the 2-fluorobenzyl derivate (PPY2; Ki(hA2AR) = 2.1 nM) were chosen for 18F-labeling via an alcohol-enhanced copper-mediated procedure starting from the corresponding boronic acid pinacol ester precursors. Investigations of the metabolic stability of [18F]PPY1 and [18F]PPY2 in CD-1 mice by radio-HPLC analysis revealed parent fractions of more than 76% of total activity in the brain. Specific binding of [18F]PPY2 on mice brain slices was demonstrated by in vitro autoradiography. In vivo PET/magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies in CD-1 mice revealed a reasonable high initial brain uptake for both radiotracers, followed by a fast clearance.

Pharmacokinetic and Metabolism Studies of Monomethyl Auristatin F via Liquid Chromatography-Quadrupole-Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometry. Molecules 2019; 24:molecules24152754. [PMID: 31362431 PMCID: PMC6696338 DOI: 10.3390/molecules24152754] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/26/2019] [Revised: 07/21/2019] [Accepted: 07/26/2019] [Indexed: 12/21/2022] Open
Abstract
A simple liquid chromatography–quadrupole-time-of-flight–mass spectrometric assay (LC-TOF-MS/MS) has been developed for the evaluation of metabolism and pharmacokinetic (PK) characteristics of monomethyl auristatin F (MMAF) in rat, which is being used as a payload for antibody-drug conjugates. LC-TOF-MS/MS method was qualified for the quantification of MMAF in rat plasma. The calibration curves were acceptable over the concentration range from 3.02 to 2200 ng/mL using quadratic regression. MMAF was stable in various conditions. There were no significant matrix effects between rat and other preclinical species. The PK studies showed that the bioavailability of MMAF was 0% with high clearance. Additionally, the metabolite profiling studies, in vitro/in vivo, were performed. Seven metabolites for MMAF were tentatively identified in liver microsome. The major metabolic pathway was demethylation, which was one of the metabolic pathways predicted by MedChem Designer. Therefore, these results will be helpful to understand the PK, catabolism, and metabolism behavior of MMAF comprehensively when developing antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) in the future.
