J Lipid Res 2024:100671. [PMID: 39395790 DOI: 10.1016/j.jlr.2024.100671] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/27/2024] [Revised: 10/04/2024] [Accepted: 10/07/2024] [Indexed: 10/14/2024] Open
Abstract
Liquid chromatography coupled to high resolution mass spectrometry (LC-HRMS)-based methods have become the gold standard methodology for the comprehensive profiling of the human plasma lipidome. However, both the complexity of lipid chemistry and LC-HRMS-associated data pose challenges to the characterization of this biological matrix. In accordance with the current consensus of quality requirements for LC-HRMS lipidomics data, we aimed to characterize the NIST® Standard Reference Material for Human Plasma (SRM 1950) using an LC-ESI(+/-)-MS method compatible with high-throughput lipidome profiling. We generated a highly curated lipid database with increased coverage, quality, and consistency, including additional quality assurance procedures involving adduct formation, within-method m/z evaluation, retention behavior of species within lipid chain isomers, and expert-driven resolution of isomeric and isobaric interferences. As a proof-of-concept, we showed the utility of our in-house LC-MS lipidomic database -consisting of 592 lipid entries- for the fast, comprehensive, and reliable lipidomic profiling of the human plasma from healthy human volunteers. We are confident that the implementation of this robust resource and methodology will have a significant impact by reducing data redundancy and the current delays and bottlenecks in untargeted plasma lipidomic studies.

High-Throughput Assessment of Bile Salt Export Pump Inhibition Using RapidFire-MS and DESI-MS. ACS Med Chem Lett 2024; 15:1584-1590. [PMID: 39291028 PMCID: PMC11403724 DOI: 10.1021/acsmedchemlett.4c00302] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 06/24/2024] [Revised: 08/01/2024] [Accepted: 08/08/2024] [Indexed: 09/19/2024] Open
Abstract
The bile salt export pump (BSEP) assay is widely used to evaluate the potential for drug-induced liver injury (DILI) early in the drug discovery process. While traditional liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based approaches have been utilized for BSEP activity testing, they have intrinsic limitations in either throughput or the requirement for sample preparation and are difficult to scale up in order to screen drug candidates. Here we demonstrate the use of two different high-throughput MS methods based on solid-phase extraction (SPE) and desorption electrospray ionization (DESI) for high-throughput BSEP activity assessment in a label-free manner, with minimal needs for sample workup, at sampling rates of ∼11 and ∼5.5 s/sample, respectively. Both approaches were validated, compared, and successfully applied to the evaluation of 96 drug candidates for the inhibition of taurocholic acid (TCA) transport using BSEP vesicles.

Abstract
Bile acids are a group of compounds essential for lipid digestion and absorption with a steroid skeleton and a carboxylate side chain usually conjugated to glycine or taurine. Bile acids are regulatory molecules for a number of metabolic processes and can be used as biomarkers of various disorders. Since the middle of the twentieth century, the detection of bile acids has evolved from simple qualitative analysis to accurate quantification in complicated mixtures. Advanced methods are required to characterize and quantify individual bile acids in these mixtures. This article overviews the literature from the last two decades (2000-2020) and focuses on bile acid analysis in various human biological samples. The methods for sample preparation, including the sample treatment of conventional (blood plasma, blood serum, and urine) and unconventional samples (bile, saliva, duodenal/gastric juice, feces, etc.) are shortly discussed. Eventually, the focus is on novel analytical approaches and methods for each particular biological sample, providing an overview of the microcolumn separation techniques, such as high-performance liquid chromatography, gas chromatography, and capillary electrophoresis, used in their analysis. This is followed by a discussion on selected clinical applications.

Abstract
Aim: Selected bile acids (BAs) in plasma have been proposed as endogenous probes for assessing drug–drug interactions involving hepatic drug transporters such as the organic anion-transporting polypeptides (OATP1B1 and OATP1B3). Materials & methods: Plasma extracts were analyzed for selected BAs using a triple TOF API6600 high-resolution mass spectrometer. Results: Glycodeoxycholic acid 3-sulfate, glycochenodeoxycholic acid 3-sulfate, glycodeoxycholic acid 3-O-β-glucuronide and glycochenodeoxycholic acid 3-O-β-glucuronide are presented as potential OATP1B1/3 biomarkers.Conclusion: Six BAs are quantified in human plasma using a multiplexed high-resolution mass spectrometry method. Glycodeoxycholic acid 3-sulfate and glycodeoxycholic acid 3-O-β-glucuronide are proposed as potential biomarkers based on observed four- to fivefold increase in plasma AUC (vs placebo), following administration of a compound known to present as an OATP1B1/3 inhibitor in vitro.

Individual serum bile acid profiling in rats aids in human risk assessment of drug-induced liver injury due to BSEP inhibition. Toxicol Appl Pharmacol 2017; 338:204-213.

Abstract
Drug-induced liver injury (DILI) has been the most frequent cause of post-marketing drug withdrawals in the last 50years. The multifactorial nature of events that precede severe liver injury in human patients is difficult to model in rodents due to a variety of confounding or contributing factors that include disease state, concurrent medications, and translational species differences. In retrospective analyses, a consistent risk factor for DILI has been the inhibition of the Bile Salt Export Pump (BSEP). One compound known for potent BSEP inhibition and severe DILI is troglitazone. The purpose of the current study is to determine if serum profiling of 19 individual bile acids by liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry (LC/MS) can detect perturbations in bile acid homeostasis in rats after acute intravenous (IV) administration of vehicle or 5, 25, or 50mg/kg troglitazone. Minimal serum transaminase elevations (approximately two-fold) were observed with no evidence of microscopic liver injury. However, marked changes in individual serum bile acids occurred, with dose-dependent increases in the majority of the bile acids profiled. When compared to predose baseline values, tauromuricholic acid and taurocholic acid had the most robust increase in serum levels and dynamic range, with a maximum fold increase from baseline of 34-fold and 29-fold, respectively. Peak bile acid increases occurred within 2hours (h) after dosing and returned to baseline values before 24h. In conclusion, serum bile acid profiling can potentially identify a mechanistic risk of clinical DILI that could be poorly detected by traditional toxicity endpoints.

Abstract
High-resolution MS (HRMS) has seen an uptake in use for discovery qual/quan workflows, however, its utilization in late discovery/development has been slow. Past reports comparing HRMS to triple quadrupole (QQQ) instrumentation to date have indicated that HRMS instruments are capable of producing data acceptable for regulated bioanalysis, however lack the sensitivity required for sub ng/ml LLOQ assays. Recent advances in HRMS instrumentation have closed the sensitivity gap with QQQ and have even provided improved selectivity and sensitivity over QQQ SRM assays. Herein, the authors will describe how, when, and why HRMS (specifically Q-Exactive series mass spectrometers) should be considered for implementation in regulated quantitative bioanalysis assays.

Abstract
AIM There is an ever-increasing demand for high-throughput LC-MS/MS bioanalytical assays to support drug discovery and development. RESULTS Matrix effects of sofosbuvir (protonated) and paclitaxel (sodiated) were thoroughly evaluated using high-throughput chromatography (defined as having a run time ≤1 min) under 14 elution conditions with extracts from protein precipitation, liquid-liquid extraction and solid-phase extraction. A slight separation, in terms of retention time, between underlying matrix components and sofosbuvir/paclitaxel can greatly alleviate matrix effects. CONCLUSION High-throughput chromatography, with proper optimization, can provide rapid and effective chromatographic separation under 1 min to alleviate matrix effects and enhance assay ruggedness for regulated bioanalysis.

Abstract
Background: To adequately support pharmacokinetic evaluations of tiotropium bromide in planned clinical studies. It was desirable to measure it with a LLOQ of sub pg/ml. Results: A sensitive bioanalytical method for the determination of tiotropium in human plasma sample was successfully developed and validated in the range of 0.2–100 pg/ml. The method was successfully applied to support two clinical studies of over 3000 samples. The overall incurred sample reanalysis passing rate was 93.7%. Conclusion: The combination of a dual stage liquid–liquid extraction and a 2D ultra-HPLC greatly reduced matrix effects and increased assay sensitivity. When developing effective ultrasensitive assays, it is imperative to balance the aspects related to sensitivity with those that will ensure assay ruggedness.

Abstract
A novel analytical approach for the targeted profiling of bile acids (BAs) in human serum/plasma based on liquid chromatography quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry (LC-QTOF-MS) is presented. Reversed-phase chromatography enabled the baseline separation of 15 human BA species which could be readily detected by accurate mass analysis in negative ion mode. Blood proteins were removed by methanol precipitation in the presence of deuterium-labeled internal standards which allowed BA quantification in 50 μl plasma/serum. The assay was validated according to FDA guidance achieving quantification limits from 7.8 to 156 nM. Calibration curves prepared in charcoal-stripped serum/plasma showed excellent regression coefficients (R (2) > 0.997) and covered quantities from 7.8 to 10,000 nM depending on the analyzed species. Intra- and inter-day accuracy and precision were below 15 % for all analytes. Apparent extraction recoveries were above 97 %, and ion suppression rates were between 4 and 53 %. Mean BA level in serum/plasma from healthy volunteers ranged from 11 ± 4 nM (tauroursodeoxycholic acid) to 1321 ± 1442 nM (glycochenodeoxycholic acid). As a proof of concept, the assay was applied to plasma samples derived from a clinical phase I study of myrcludex B, a novel first-in-class virus entry inhibitor for the treatment of chronic hepatitis B and D. The results demonstrate that myrcludex-induced inhibition of the hepatic BA transporter Na(+)-taurocholate cotransporting polypeptide (NTCP) significantly affects plasma BA level. These observations provide novel insights into drug-induced metabolic responses and will be indispensable for the assessment of side effects and dose-finding processes during future clinical trials.
