Why?
y

Why quantitative analysis for peptides?
1. Drug discovery/development activities need to be performed
o
PK/PD, metabolic fate, bioequivalence, drug monitoring
2. Peptides as biomarkers
o
Examples: Angiotensin II* used to monitor cardiovascular health
and
d natriuretic

Why
y LCLC-MS/MS?
 Why an LC-MS/MS based assay?
– ELISA assays not practical for discovery, no
antibodies available yet
– Challenges with ELISA assays
o time consuming, expensive to develop
o require separate assay for each peptide
o limited linear dynamic range
o Possible cross reactivity
 Benefits of LC-MS/MS for peptides
–
–
–
–
–
–
LCMSMS provides single assay for multiple peptides
Broad linear dynamic range
Accurate, precise
Universal
Faster, cheaper method development
Meeting matrix effects and ISR acceptance criteria

 Tuning: Specificity & Selectivity. Peptides can form many low abundance
product ions.
 Sensitivity

Key Considerations for LC Screening
Protocol
 Mass spectrometry compatible solvents and modifiers
 Acceptable peak shapes even for large (~5000 MW) peptides
 Short run times
 Resolution from endogenous compounds
 Maximize sensitivity
 Ensure analyte solubility at all concentrations
– Injection solvent and needle washes contain 5-10% organic and
0.025-1% acid

ToF Vs Quad
Q
Tandem quadrupole LC/MS/MS is traditionally the technology of choice for
quantification of analytes
- Specificity
- Linearity
- Sensitivity
Accurate mass MS instrumentation usually reserved for qualitative data
analysis
The latent full-scan data from a ToF can be of significant use in
understanding the reasons behind issues such as poor exposure or rapid
elimination.
The application of accurate mass MS for quantification in DMPK has
attracted considerable interest in recent years, allowing simultaneous
quantitative and qualitative analysis.
