Metabolomic analysis using gas chromatography-mass spectrometry compared DBS metabolite profiles between the two groups. While venous DBS profiles showed no distinct patterns, capillary DBS profiles revealed clustering patterns in principal components analysis, with the first two principal components explaining 14.5 %, and 13.5 % of the total variance, respectively. Orthogonal PLS-DA confirmed group discrimination (R2Y=0.989, Q2=0.742). Drug-resistant patients exhibited elevated capillary DBS levels of glutamine, pyruvic acid, and serine, and decreased palmitic acid compared to drug-responsive patients. Pathway analysis revealed disruptions in amino acid metabolism, neurotransmission, and cellular energy regulation. Elevated glutamine levels may contribute to an imbalance between excitatory glutamate and inhibitory GABA neurotransmission, key factors in epileptogenesis and drug resistance. Capillary DBS, likely enriched with arterial blood supply to the brain, appears to better capture central nervous system metabolic disturbances compared to venous DBS containing systemic contributions. This minimally invasive capillary DBS approach offers effective metabolic profiling of brain conditions like DRE, for monitoring disease progression and treatment response, enhancing personalized patient management in epilepsy.</p>","PeriodicalId":16685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142605045","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The method quantifies flucytosin, fluconazole, itraconazole, hydroxy-itraconazole, posaconazole, isavuconazole, voriconazole, voriconazole-N-oxide, anidulafungin, caspofungin, and micafungin. Key challenges in method development included optimising mass spectrometer settings, chromatographic conditions, and sample preparation techniques to ensure accurate, sensitive, and specific detection. Validation of this method was conducted in accordance with the guidelines set by the USA Food and drug administration and the European Medicines Agency covering linearity, precision, accuracy, selectivity, matrix effect, and stability. The method exhibited robust performance with intra- and inter-assay precision under 10 % and average accuracy for intra- and inter-assay comparison of −2.35 % and 0.80 %, respectively. Limits of detection (0.002 to 0.110 mg/L) and a quantification range between 0.005 and 200 mg/L make this method suitable for clinical TDM applications. The ability to simultaneously analyse eleven antifungals and their metabolites within a single 5-minute run enhances its utility in clinical settings, particularly for critically ill patients who may experience significant pharmacokinetic variations.
