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 t i ti peptides* tid * are biomarkers bi k for f cardiovascular di l disease 3 Key peptides 3. id can b be used d to quantitate i protein i d drugs and d bi biomarkers k in complex matrices, after digestion of the sample ©2012 Waters Corporation 4 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 ©2012 Waters Corporation 5 Overview Status of Biotherapeutics Drugs – Past, P t present, t and d future f t Challenges in Biotherapeutics Bioanalysis – Key y challenges g in Biotherapeutics p Bioanalysis y Waters Solution – Benefits offered by LC/MS/MS over ELISA – SPE / LC/ MS – Accurate Mass Competition Collateral ©2012 Waters Corporation 6 Challenges g Challenges faced; SPE Sensitivity y & Clean up p Understanding your peptide Where to start?

The application of accurate mass MS for quantification in DMPK has attracted considerable interest in recent years, allowing simultaneous quantitative and qualitative analysis. The b Th benefits fit off accurate t mass iinstrumentation t t ti over tandem t d quadrupole d l include; faster method development, non targeted analysis and the ability to screen for unknowns. ©2012 Waters Corporation 37 LC/MS/MS Nominal and Accurate Mass Bioanalysis. 2012 Mar;4(5):605-15. doi: 10.4155/bio.12.15. ©2012 Waters Corporation 38 Synapt G2 HDMS 20mDa Extract Mass Window 616.3821 Blank Bl k 10ng/mL Standard ©2012 Waters Corporation 39 Synapt G2 HDMS Extract Mass Window 616.3821 ©2012 Waters Corporation 40 Xevo TQ TQ--S Extracted Standard and Plasma Blank 1ng/mL Standard 10 x Plasma Blank Comparison of the quantification of a therapeutic protein using nominal and accurate mass MS/MS Robert S Plumb, Gordon Fujimoto, Joanne Mather, Warren B Potts, Paul D Rainville, Nicholas J Ellor, Christopher Evans, Jonathan R Kehler, Matthew E Szapa Bioanalysis, Mar 2012, Vol. 4, No. 5, Pages 605-615. ©2012 Waters Corporation 41 High Sensitivity for Biotherapeutics Bioanalysis Desmopressin p in human p plasma with Xevo TQTQ Q-S Compound optimization results obtained from UNIFI Blank plasma 1 pg/mL 5 pg/mL 1 – 20000 pg/mL ©2012 Waters Corporation 42
