Bioanalytical Research’s Goal

To generate accurate and precise data in the quantitative analysis of drug discovery candidates in samples from in vivo and in vitro studies that support their biological characterization and optimization as potential development candidates.

Page 9: LC-MS in Drug Discovery Timothy V. Olah, Ph.D. Director, Bioanalytical Research Pharmaceutical Research Institute Bristol-Myers Squibb Company timothy.olah@bms.com

The Gilbert Bioanalytical Chronicles

“The challenges of bioanalysis stem from the need to accurately and reproducibly measure part per million to part per trillion quantities of analyte in complex biological matrices, full of

potentially interfering endogenous or drug-related substances.”

John Gilbert et al., “High Performance Liquid Chromatography with Atmospheric Pressure Ionization Tandem Mass Spectrometry as a Tool in Quantitative Bioanalytical

Chemistry,” in Biochemical and Biotechnological Applications of Electrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry, American Chemical Society (1995)

Relationship of Drug Metabolism with Medicinal

Chemistry in Early Drug Discovery

• Add information to compliment HTS data

• Assist in the selection of compounds based upon their ADME characteristics for further evaluation

• Provide direction to medicinal chemists for the design of their next compound in a series

• Identify trends in the architecture of a class of compounds that correlates with a response in an ADME assay (e.g. Potency with P450 inhibition)

Desirable ADME Characteristics

Absorption - good solubility and permeability

Distribution - good exposure at the target, minimal elsewhere- acceptable protein binding: estimate “free concentration”

Metabolism- minimal first pass effect- metabolism by two or more CYP (not 2D6) to few metabolites- minimal potential to inhibit or to induce

Excretion- balance between metabolism and excretion of parent drug

Page 17: LC-MS in Drug Discovery Timothy V. Olah, Ph.D. Director, Bioanalytical Research Pharmaceutical Research Institute Bristol-Myers Squibb Company timothy.olah@bms.com

Experiments to Assess ADME Characteristics

Absorption- Caco-2 cells, PAMPA, PgP-transport- in vivo PK profiling

• Distribution- in vitro protein binding, in vivo tissue distribution studies

• Metabolism- Metabolic stability in microsomes, S9 fractions, hepatocytes- P450 Inhibition: microsomes and/or rCYPs, co-administration- P450 Induction: Gene Chips, PXR, multiple dosing studies- Metabolite characterization

• Excretion- Quantitation of drugs and metabolites in biological fluids

What is LC-MS?(LC) Liquid Chromatography:

Chromatography is a separations method that relies on differences in partitioning behavior between a flowing mobile phase and a stationary phase to separate the components in a mixture.

A column holds the stationary phase and the mobile phase carries the sample through it.

Sample components that partition strongly into the stationary phase spend a greater amount of time in the column and are separated from components that stay predominantly in the mobile phase and pass through the column faster.

What is LC-MS?

(MS) Mass Spectrometry:Mass spectrometers use the difference in mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) of ionized compounds to separate them from each other. Compounds have distinctive fragmentation patterns that provide structural information to specifically detect compounds.

Types of Mass Spectrometers

• LC-MS (single quadrupole)• LC-MS/MS (triple quadrupoles)• LC-Q (ion traps, linear ion traps)• LC-Q-TRAPS (quadrupole linear ion

traps)• LC-TOF-MS (time-of-flight)• MALDI-TOF-MS • Q-TOF-MS (quadrupole time-of-flight)• FT-MS (Fourier Transform)• Others

Uses of Mass Spectrometry in Drug Discovery

• Qualitative AnalysisElucidation of the structural characteristics of various substances in different matrices:

What is in the sample?

• Quantitative AnalysisDetermination of the concentration of various substances in different matrices:

How much is in the sample?

What are “Co-Administration” Studies? (Cassette Dosing / N-in-One Studies)

Simultaneous administration of multiple compounds (including a standard compound) to individual animals with the subsequent determination of the concentrations of each compound contained within single test samples.

Method Development

• LC-MS/MS-based Methods

– MS parameters are established for every analyte

– HPLC conditions required for adequate response,

specificity and sensitivity

– Preparation of biological samples is critical to the

integrity and quality of the method• Analyte response will differ in different biological extracts

• Differentiates Bioanalytical from Analytical

Page 62: LC-MS in Drug Discovery Timothy V. Olah, Ph.D. Director, Bioanalytical Research Pharmaceutical Research Institute Bristol-Myers Squibb Company timothy.olah@bms.com

Preparation of Standard and

Quality Control (QC) Samples

• Known quantities of the compounds to be evaluated are added to blank biological matrix at established concentration ranges

• Internal Standard is added to Standard, QC, and Test samples

• Standard, QC, and Test samples are then processed in an identical manner

• All of the samples are then analyzed and the standard and QC samples are used to assess assay performance in terms of accuracy and precision

Assay Integrity

• Determined by Standard and QC results in conjunction with analytical requirements of the study

• Alternative method development is carried out, as needed– Modifications to MS parameters,

chromatography, sample preparation procedures, Internal Standard selection, assay dynamic range, etc.

• Goal to provide quality data in all analysis
