In contrast, locoregional studies focus on dFdC, neglecting the role of dFdU (inactive) and dFdCTP, limiting our lung-specific PK insights. Existing dFdCTP assays require lengthy runs and complex protocols, reducing their translatability for large-scale studies. This study presents an ultra-high-performance liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (UHPLC–MS/MS) method to quantify dFdC, dFdU, and dFdCTP in pig lung tissue and plasma, improving gemcitabine's PK assessment following both systemic and locoregional therapies. A high-throughput UHPLC–MS/MS method was developed and validated for the quantification of dFdC, dFdU, and dFdCTP in pig plasma and lung tissue. Protein precipitation was used, followed by chromatographic separation on a Luna Omega Polar C18 column with a 4-min run time. Linearity was established over the ranges: 0.5–400.0 μg/mL (plasma) and 0.5–400.0 μg/g (lung tissue). It demonstrated robust accuracy, precision, and selectivity with minimal carryover and negligible matrix effects. Stability was confirmed for 4 h at 4°C, 40°C, and on the autosampler. The method's applicability was verified in study samples treated with a 30-min intravenous gemcitabine (1.25 g/m<sup>2</sup>) infusion. This UHPLC–MS/MS assay overcomes previous methodological limitations by reducing run time and simplifying sample preparation.

However, their intrinsic ionic nature can restrict the use of mass spectrometric techniques to monitor the time progress of a reaction occurring in an IL medium, thus preventing one from following the formation of the reaction products or intercepting the reaction intermediates. The intense ionic signals related to the IL cation, anion, and their aggregates can indeed suppress the ionic intensities of substrates that are not intrinsically charged and often poorly ionizable. In this paper, we developed an atmospheric pressure chemical ionization mass spectrometry (APCI-MS) approach to overcome this limitation and minimize interference from the IL.

A good correlation was obtained between the product yields measured by the APCI-MS procedure and those extrapolated from the isolated products.
