It offers purine metabolites as raw material for building blocks in cell survival and proliferation. Purine metabolites are the most abundant metabolic substrates in organisms. There are few reports to simultaneously quantify canonical purine metabolism in cells. A novel hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) method was developed to simultaneously determine purines profile in biological samples. Chromatographic separation was achieved using a HILIC (Waters Xbridge™ Amide) column. Different optimizing chromatographic conditions and mass spectrometric parameters were tested in order to provide the best separation and the lowest limit of quantification (LLOQ) values for targeted metabolites. The validation was evaluated according to the Food and Drug Administration guidelines. The limit of determination (LOD) and the LOQ values were in the range of 0.02–8.33 ng mL⁻¹ and 0.1–24.5 ng mL⁻¹, respectively. All calibration curves displayed good linear relationship of with excellent correlation coefficient (r) ranging from 0.9943 to 0.9999. Both intra-day and inter-day variability were below 15 %, respectively. Trueness, expressed as relative error, was always within ±15 %. In addition, no derivatization procedure and ion-pair reagents are in need. The innovated approach demonstrates high sensitivity, strong specificity, and good repeatability, making it suitable for absolute quantitative studies of canonical purine metabolism in cultured cells.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":16685,"journal":{"name":"Journal of pharmaceutical and biomedical analysis","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0731708524005089/pdfft?md5=f5a483020bafc3a0bd7114fe3e6ffb33&pid=1-s2.0-S0731708524005089-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142230631","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Genetic polymorphisms cause approximately 40 % of individual differences in treatment response. Therefore, this study aimed to develop a technique to identify single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with the metabolism, effectiveness, and side effects of antidepressant medications in Chinese patients. Bibliometrics was used to search literature related to “depression” and “SNP” in Web of Science. The obtained SNP information was screened using the PharmGKB database. By designing and optimizing primers and conducting a compound amplification system, a method was established based on MALDI-TOF MS to detect polymorphisms associated with the antidepressant drugs, including sertraline, fluoxetine, citalopram, escitalopram, venlafaxine, fluvoxamine, paroxetine, and mirtazapine. The accuracy and sensitivity of the established method were verified by Sanger sequencing. A total of 10,043 articles were screened from the database, and 46 SNPs with a mutation frequency of &gt;1 % in Asian populations and annotated with relevant clinical drugs were extracted from the PharmGKB database. This method was compared with the results of Sanger sequencing, and the accuracy of the detection results was 100 %.

In humans, these compounds are detected in blood and urine, with significantly higher levels in blood. Their potential as biomarkers of anemia and other diseases is currently being investigated, as their levels change according to the biochemical processes associated with the disease. The most widely used biomarker of anemia is serum ferritin, but it is unreliable in patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) because its levels can be altered by acute inflammation and/or infections. There is therefore a need to look for new markers to help diagnose anemia in IBD patients. This work develops and validates a method for the determination of three protoporphyrins in human urine: protoporphyrin IX (PPIX), protoporphyrin IX complex with Zn (ZnPPIX) and protoporphyrin IX complex with Fe (II) (FePPIX), the latter also known as heme. The aim is to evaluate their potential as biomarkers of anemic disease in patients diagnosed with IBD. The proposed analytical method is based on high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with dual detection based on photodiode array (PDA) and fluorescence (FD). Quantification of the analytes at very low concentrations is possible due to the efficient preconcentration provided by dispersive liquid-liquid microextraction (DLLME) and the sensitivity of the detection systems. The method was validated by evaluating linearity (25–1000 ng mL⁻¹), matrix effect, sensitivity (limits of quantification were between 5 and 11 ng mL⁻¹), selectivity, accuracy, carry-over, dilution integrity, stability and precision (&lt; 12.1 %).

Developing topical medications with acetazolamide requires robust analytical methods for its detection in biological samples. In this context, this study aimed to develop a method to quantify acetazolamide in rabbit vitreous humor samples. The method involved a simple, fast, inexpensive, and environmentally friendly protein precipitation step for sample preparation, needing just 50 μL of sample and 200 μL of organic solvent, with adequate recovery. This was combined with high-performance liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry, enabling highly sensitive (LOQ of 5 ng/mL) quantification within only 5 min.
