Abstract |
:
Sensitive, high-throughput methods for pharmacokinetic (PK) profiling are essential for potential therapeutics during critical stages of clinical trials. The application of a microfluidic capillary zone electrophoresis mass spectrometry (CZE-MS) method for PK profiling allows for rapid, sensitive and in-depth analysis of multiple samples within a short timeframe. Here, a CZE-MS approach for PK analysis was compared with a traditional UHPLC-MS approach when analyzing serum extracts from rats treated with a potential Alzheimer's disease therapeutic, BNC-1. Resulting PK data generated from both methods displayed statistical similarities. Additionally, the separation efficiency attributed to the use of the CZE-MS method provided substantial metabolic regulation data that was not apparent in the UHPLC-MS method. Additionally, the coupling of the CZE-MS method to the data processing software, MZmine2, was used to monitor changes in metabolism and observe putative BNC-1-derived metabolites. The ability to perform fast analyses without sacrificing sensitivity or metabolic information suggests that this CZE-MS method is ideal for metabolomics-inclusive, high-throughput PK profiling. |
