The objective of this study is to develop a quick and precise chiral liquid chromatography coupled with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) technology that operates in reversed phase mode. Following oral administration of 5.0 mg/kg rac -pranoprofen, the suggested approach was completely validated and successfully used to the stereoselective detection of pranoprofen enantiomers in rat plasma for the first time. Both the polysaccharide derivatized chiral stationary phase and a homemade β-cyclodextrin (β-CD) derivatized based chiral column were assessed. The latter one, a per-4-chlorophenylcarbamate-β-cyclodextrin bonded chiral stationary phase (CPCDP) made in our laboratory, allowed for the highly sensitive detection, relatively short retention time and complete separation (resolution 2.0) of the pranoprofen enantiomers. A solid phase extraction (SPE) procedure on C 18 cartridge was optimized for the extraction of S -(+)-, R -(−)-pranoprofen and internal standard ( S -(+)-ketoprofen, IS) from rat plasma in detail. Acetonitrile with 0.1 % formic acid in aqueous phase (60:40, v:v ) at a flow rate of 0.6 mL/min was the ideal mobile phase condition. The outcome of pharmacokinetic study showed that the values of maximum plasma concentration (C max ) and the area under plasma drug concentration–time curve to infinity (AUC 0-∞ ) for S -(+)-pranoprofen were 1.79 and 1.90 times greater than R -(−)-isomer, respectively. Altogether, this work is the first to examine the stereospecific pharmacokinetics of pranoprofen enantiomers in vivo , whose data provided potential possibility for the development of pure isomer with superior pharmacological activity and safety to replace racemic application in the clinic.

Pediatric heart failure (HF) is an important clinical disease with high hospitalization rates, morbidity, mortality and medical costs. Sacubitril/valsartan (also known as Entresto), was approved for the treatment of adult HF and is recently used in pediatrics. However, clinical therapy on children is more challenging than adults, and the pharmacokinetics of Entresto in children are still largely unknown and urgently needed. Herein, we aim to develop a simple and sensitive analytic method to monitor Entresto in pediatric patients, which is of great importance for individualized safe medication in children. Specifically, a liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry method for simultaneously quantification of valsartan, sacubitril and its bio-active metabolite sacubitrilat in human plasma has been developed and validated in pediatric patients. Plasma samples were pretreated with acetonitrile for protein precipitation. Elution was performed on X Select HSS T3 column (2.1 × 100 mm, 5 µm; Waters) column using an isocratic mobile phase process consisting of 0.1% formic acid aqueous solution and 0.1% formic acid acetonit rile with a total run time of 3.0 min. Valsartan-d3, sacubitrilin-d4 and sacubitrilat-d4 were used as the corresponding deuterium internal standards. According to the Bioanalytical Method Validation Guidance for Industry, the method was validated in the range of 0.5–5000 ng/mL. Intra- and inter-day accuracy of sacubitril,valsartan and sacubitrilat ranged from 93%− 108%, 98%− 109%, 91%− 102%, respectively, with relative standard deviation of precision ranging from 2.0% to 5.1%, 2.4%− 7.5%, 1,3%− 7.4%. The proposed method demonstrated good accuracy, precision and linearity. The matrix factors normalized by internal standard meet the acceptance criteria. The method was fully validated and applied in 39 children. Trough concentration of the three substances to be measured were: valsartan (11.3–938.0 ng/mL), sacubitril (0.5–395.5 ng/mL) and sacubitrilat (522.1–4890.0 ng/mL). Overall, this is the first study to simultaneously determined the plasma valsartan, sacubitril and sacubitrilat concentrations in children, which is believed to facilitate the clinical management of pediatric HF.

In order to facilitate therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus and cyclosporine A in clinical practice, a simple, rapid, robust, sensitive and specific LC–MS/MS assay was developed and validated for the simultaneous determination of tacrolimus and cyclosporine A in human whole blood. Erythrocytes were destroyed using internal standard solution with 10% (w/v) zinc sulfate in water. The analytes were extracted from 100 μl of whole blood by protein precipitation with acetonitrile. Chromatographic separation was conducted on a Kinetex PFP column (60°C) by a gradient elution with a flow rate of 0.450 ml/min in 2.5 min. Quantitative analysis was performed using electrospray ionization and multiple reaction monitoring in positive ionization mode. The method was fully validated as per current guidelines on bioanalytical methodologies of the US Food and Drug Administration and European Medicines Agency. The method developed was applied successfully in analyzing clinical samples from patients administered tacrolimus or cyclosporine A. The sample treatment procedure was rationalized and improved to fulfill the complete target extraction. The chromatography conditions were optimized to achieve rapid and accurate quantification of both analytes. This method may be beneficial as a constructive input for the therapeutic drug monitoring of tacrolimus and cyclosporine A in obtaining individualized therapy.

VK2809 is a promising drug candidate in Phase II clinical trials for the treatment of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH). It is a prodrug with a HepDirect strategy, which can achieve selective hepatic metabolic activation , generating an active metabolite VK2809A as a potent and selective agonist for thyroid hormone receptor beta (TRβ), a concomitant reactive metabolite VK2809B, and a glutathione (GSH) conjugate MB06588. Currently, there is no convenient and sensitive bioanalytical method for the simultaneous determination of the above three metabolites. Herein, we established an LC-MS/MS method to separate VK2809 and its metabolites on the XSelect HSS T3 column and quantified them in negative electrospray ionization mode. Subsequently, several factors were investigated such as the use of 60% acetonitrile for homogenization to stabilize the analytes, the addition of 20 mM glutathione for the derivation of VK2809B, and the protein precipitation with methanol containing Sobetirome as the internal standard (IS). The method exhibited good linearity for all compounds (19.4–388.4 nM for VK2809; 27.4–2744.4 nM for VK2809A and 10.6–211.0 nM for MB06588) with great correlation coefficients (r > 0.996). The method validation also demonstrated acceptable precision (RSD < 13.0% for VK2809, RSD < 7.9% for VK2809A, RSD < 14.4% for MB06588) and accuracy (92.7%−103% for VK2809, 91.2%−107.3% for VK2809A, 96%−106.7% for MB06588). The matrix effect, recovery, and stability were also suitable to determine all the analytes. This method is suitable for the bioanalysis of VK2809 and its metabolites and has been successfully applied to the study of intrahepatic exposure in rats. It is expected to be further practiced in drug design , optimization, and metabolism study in the following research.

Determination of antipsychotics from biological samples is meaningful in the field of clinical and forensic medicine. Compared to blood, keratinized matrices such as hair and nails have attracted increasing attention in drug analysis for wider detection window. Nevertheless, the distribution and stability of antipsychotics in keratinized matrices are not clarified yet. Therefore, we developed a LC-MS/MS based method for simultaneous determination of 10 antipsychotics from blood, hair and nails, with high recovery (78.1–107.4%, 71.3–93.5% and 75.2–90.5%), low LOD (5–10 pg/mL, 5–10 pg/mg and 5 pg/mg) and high accuracy (96.0%−101.6%, 97.5%−102.5% and 97.6–101.7%). The method was applied to sets of blood, hair, and nail samples of 54 patients who received long-term therapy, and significant correlations between drug concentrations in blood and hair was found, while the correlation between nails and other matrices varied depending on the drug. Except for olanzapine , the concentrations of antipsychotics in segmental hair samples were consistent with drug exposure. Besides, the hair and nail samples of suspects in two forensic cases were analyzed and provided supporting evidence for the suspects’ psychiatric state. Our research offered a deeper understanding of keratinized matrix as stable and retrospective bio-samples for antipsychotics detection in forensic practice.

Polymyxin B (PB) is currently one of the last resort treatment options against carbapenem-resistant gram-negative bacterial pathogens. Pharmacokinetics/pharmacodynamics (PK/PD) guided therapeutic drug monitoring (TDM) of antibiotics is critical for optimizing dosage regimens to maximize efficacy, minimize toxicity, and delay the emergence of resistance. Currently, methods for determining PB in human plasma and epithelial lining fluid (ELF) are limited. In this study, we developed and validated a simple method for PB determination in human plasma and ELF using LC-MS/MS. Protein precipitation of the sample was conducted with 0.1% formic acid-acetonitrile. Polymyxin B1 and B2 were separated on a C 18 column and detected within 4 min by the mass spectrometer in the positive mode coupled with multiple reaction monitoring. The calibration curve range was 0.156–10.0 and 0.0156–1.00 μg/mL in the plasma for polymyxin B1 and B2, respectively, and was 0.0625–2.00 and 0.00625–0.200 μg/mL for polymyxin B1 and B2, respectively in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid. The accuracy of the intra- and inter-assay studies ranged from 80.6% to 114.9%, and the coefficients of variation for intra- and inter-day assays were less than 14.8%. Among a considerable number of patients, the average steady-state plasma concentration of PB was suboptimal. Moreover, the exposure to PB in patients with acute kidney injury (AKI) was considerably higher than that in patients without AKI. Meanwhile, a higher concentration of PB in ELF could be achieved than that in plasma after PB nebulization treatment. The established method was proven to be rapid, simple, and suitable for TDM of PB and PK/PD studies in human plasma and ELF.

The influence of genetic polymorphism of metabolic enzymes on drug–drug interactions (DDI) should be thoroughly investigated owing to its remarkable effect on therapeutic treatments that are futile. Here, different from earlier articles focused on various CYP subfamilies and their isoforms, the effect of genetic polymorphs of a particular isoform, CYP2C9, was comprehensively studied. Using diclofenac as probe substrate, the influence of three CYP2C9 variants (CYP2C9*1, *2 and *3) on DDI was conducted from the measurement of inhibitory ability of six drugs towards three variants. A modified LC–MS/MS method according to former report was constructed for the determination of 4ʹ-hydroxydiclofenac in CYP2C9 enzyme incubation system and validated for accuracy, precision, linearity range within the acceptance criteria for regulatory guidelines. After selecting appropriate incubation time and enzyme concentration, the kinetic parameters of three CYP2C9 variants towards diclofenac were examined and half inhibitory concentrations (IC 50 ) of six drugs towards three CYP2C9 variants were determined. IC 50 of paroxetine and losartan towards CYP2C9*2 were almost threefold higher and 2.5-fold lower than that towards CYP2C9*1, respectively. IC 50 of glibenclamide towards CYP2C9*3 was twofold more than that towards CYP2C9*1. Our results could offer effective guidelines for co-administration of these six drugs with various CYP2C9 substrates in individuals carrying variant CYP2C9 alleles, also broaden the application area of LC–MS/MS.

A magnetic separation-based immunosensor for deoxynivalenol assay, coupled with a nano-affinity cleaning up for instrumental confirmation, was developed. Maltose-binding protein with mimic epitope of DON was coupled to CdSe/ZnS quantum dot nanobeads for fluorescent reporter. Graphene oxide was linked with magnetic nanoparticles and protein G for immunomagnetic adsorbent. The magnetic separation of reporter could be inhibited by DON so the fluorescent remained in the solution indicates a good quantitative correlation to DON concentration. The DON separated by immune adsorbent can be cleaned up for instrumental confirmation. The optimized immunosensor showed results as follows: the linear range was in 0.3–3000 ng mL−1. The limits of detection (S/N = 3) were 0.50, 1.0, and 3.0 ng mL−1 in different backgrounds. The recoveries for DON-spiked samples range from 78.7% to 88.5%. Both results of UPLC-MS/MS based on affinity column purification and coupled with nano-affinity cleaning up showed a good agreement with the current immunosensor.

Loratadine (LOR) and its major metabolite, desloratadine (DL) are new-generation antihistamines. The hydroxylated metabolites of them, 6-OH-DL, 5-OH-DL and 3-OH-DL are also active because of their ability to inhibit binding of pyrilamine to brain H1 receptors and a tendency for distributing to specific immune-regulatory tissues. In this study, a new validated LC-MS/MS method to simultaneously quantify LOR, DL, 6-OH-DL, 5-OH-DL and 3-OH-DL in plasma and tissues was established and applied to an investigation of their pharmacokinetics and target-tissue distribution tendency for the first time. Pharmacokinetics parameters in rat were measured and the results suggest that the body’s exposure to active metabolites were much higher than to the prodrug with LOR, but much lower with DL. The tissue distribution study shows that LOR, DL and their active metabolites were widely distributed in the liver, spleen, thymus, heart, adrenal glands and pituitary gland. For immune-regulatory tissues, the concentrations of LOR, DL and their active metabolites in the spleen were much higher than in the thymus, which is related to the spleen, one of the sites where immune responses occur. LOR and its metabolites might inhibit immune-mediated allergic inflammation through the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis. It was also found that the concentration of LOR in the heart was highest after liver and adrenal glands while those of DL, 6-OH-DL and 5-OH-DL in the liver, adrenal glands and spleen were all higher than those in the heart, which suggests that LOR may have a greater tendency to distribute in the heart than its metabolites.

A rapid, sensitive liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination and quantification of cantharidin in rats liver and kidney. After grinding with methanol, the supernatant was determined by LC-MS/MS using an Thermo Accucore C18 column (100 mm×2.1 mm, 2.6 μm) with a gradient elution of 0.1% formic acid and 0.1% acetonitrile, and in the subsequent analysis using selected reaction monitoring mode, three ion transitions were monitored for analyte. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.741 ng/ml and the limit of quantitation (LOQ) was 2.471 ng/ml. Good linearity (R 2 = 0.9998) was observed for the analyte over the linear range (5–400 ng/ml). The LC-MS/MS method was applied to the analysis of rats liver and kidney in different postmortem intervals (6 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 168 h after death) after a single dose (4 mg/kg) of cantharidin administration by gavage. At 72 h after death, the cantharidin concentration in livers and kidneys were significantly higher than that in other postmortem intervals. Linear regression equations between postmortem interval and lg postmortem cantharidin concentration in rats liver and kidney were Y = 0.007455*X + 1.332(R 2 = 0.863) and Y = 0.002689*X + 1.433 (R 2 = 0.115) respectively. The animal experiment demonstrated LC-MS/MS method can be used to determine the postmortem cantharidin concentration in rats liver and kidney and the determination of cantharidin in the rats liver after death has potential value for postmortem interval estimation in cantharidin poisoning.

Summary This study aims to identify novel antioxidant peptides within black soldier fly larvae protein (BSFLP) using simulated gastrointestinal processes, LC–MS/MS analysis, and virtual screening. Two peptides, PFCPK and ADFW, exhibited significant antioxidant properties in both in vitro radical scavenging experiments and in vivo evaluations using zebrafish embryos induced with 2,2′-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) dihydrochloride. Treatment with 25 μg mL −1 of PFCPK or ADFW significantly ( P < 0.05) enhanced zebrafish embryo survival, reduced abnormal heartbeats and lowered ROS generation rate by 62.98% and 83.44%, lipid peroxidation by 52.54% and 68.35%, and cell death rate by 86.92% and 97.54%, respectively. Moreover, they restored antioxidant enzyme activities and MDA levels to near-normal values, demonstrating significant therapeutic effects. The observed antioxidant effects may potentially be linked to the modulation of the Keap1/Nrf2 pathway. This study provides valuable insights for developing novel natural antioxidants and maximising the high-value applications of BSFLP.

Bambusa textilis McClure ( Bambusoideae ) is a valuable bamboo species widely distributed in southern China. The methanolic extract of B. textilis leaves was examined for its chemical and bioactive properties. As a result, 38 compounds, including organic acids, flavonoids and miscellaneous substances, were identified or tentatively characterised by UFLC-DAD-Q-TOF-MS. Thirteen polyphenols, considered as the most important components, were quantified using LC-MS/MS method. Moreover, the methanolic extract of B. textilis leaves had obvious antioxidant and anti-obesity activities in vivo in a high-fat diet rat model. It also had a significant antioxidant effect in 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) and inhibition of β-carotene bleaching assays in vitro . These results are useful for further research of B . textilis leaves that may be useful candidates for the development as a functional food ingredient in health-related industries.
