AbstractHydroxyl radical protein footprinting (HRPF) is a powerful technique for probing changes in protein topography, based on quantifying the amount of oxidation of different regions of a protein. While quantification of HRPF oxidation at the peptide level is relatively common, quantification at the residue level is challenging due to the influence of oxidation on MS/MS fragmentation and the large number of complex and only partially chromatographically resolved isomeric peptide oxidation products. HRPF quantification of isomeric peptide oxidation products (where the peptide sequence is the same but isomeric oxidation products are formed at different sites) at the residue level by electron transfer dissociation tandem mass spectrometry (ETD MS/MS) has been demonstrated in both model peptides and HRPF products, but the method is hampered by the partial separation of oxidation isomers by reversed phase chromatography. This requires custom MS/MS methods to equally sample all isomeric oxidation products across their elution window, greatly increasing method development time and reducing the oxidation products quantified in a single LC-MS/MS run. Here we present a zwitterionic hydrophilic interaction capillary chromatography (ZIC-HILIC) method to ideally co-elute all isomeric peptide oxidation products while separating different peptides. This allows us to relatively quantify peptide oxidation isomers using an ETD MS/MS spectrum acquired at any point across the single peptide oxidation isomer peak, greatly simplifying data acquisition and data analysis at both the peptide and amino acid level.

AbstractWe report an integrated workflow that allows mass spectrometry-based high-resolution hydroxyl radical protein footprinting (HR-HRPF) measurements to accurately measure the absolute average solvent accessible surface area (<SASA>) of amino acid side chains. This approach is based on application of multi-point HR-HRPF, electron-transfer dissociation (ETD) tandem MS (MS/MS) acquisition, measurement of effective radical doses by radical dosimetry, and proper normalization of the inherent reactivity of the amino acids. The accuracy of the resulting <SASA> measurements was tested by using well-characterized protein models. Moreover, we demonstrated the ability to use <SASA> measurements from HR-HRPF to differentiate molecular models of high accuracy (< 3Å backbone RMSD) from models of lower accuracy (> 4Å backbone RMSD). The ability of <SASA> data from HR-HRPF to differentiate molecular model quality was found to be comparable to that of <SASA> data obtained from X-ray crystal structures, indicating the accuracy and utility of HR-HRPF for evaluating the accuracy of computational models.

An isocratic Reversed-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography method has been developed for rapid and simultaneous separation and estimation of two antibiotics, namely, nitazoxanide and ofloxacin, in human plasma. Separation was carried out on Altima C8 (150 x 4.6 mm, 5µ) column using a mobile phase of 0.1% ortho phosphoric acid: acetonitrile (50:50, V/V) at 260 nm. The retention time of nitazoxanide and ofloxacin was noted to be 4.850 and 7.949 min, respectively. The average % recovery for nitazoxanide and ofloxacin were 98.012 % and 94.176 %, respectively and reproducibility was found to be satisfactory. The linearity was investigated in the concentration range of 0.02-2 µg/ml (r2=0.9996) for nitazoxanide and 0.008-0.8 µg/ml (r2=0.9998) for ofloxacin. The lower limits of quantification were 0.0196 µg/ml and 0.0079 µg/ml for nitazoxanide and ofloxacin, respectively, which reach the level of both drugs possibly found in human plasma. The proposed method can be applied for etermination of nitazoxanide and ofloxacin from dosage forms during pharmacokinetic study.

The main objective of this research is to develop and validate a simple, specific, precise, sensitive, cost effective and rapid Reversed-Phase High-Performance Liquid Chromatographic (RP-HPLC) method for simultaneous quantification of Felodipine and Metoprolol in bulk and pharmaceutical dosage forms. The separation of the analytes were carried out on a X-bridge phenyl column with a moving phase composed of 0.1 % Tri ethyl amine: acetonitrile (30:70 v/v) delivered at a stream of 1.0 ml/min, and separation has been observed by UV detector, at a detection wavelength of 235 nm. This method was proven to be linear over a concentration limit of 10-150 µg/ml for Metoprolol, 2-30 µg/ml for Felodipine with correlation coefficient of 0.999. The retention time of Metoprolol and Felodipine were 2.936, 4.535 minutes respectively. To separate Metoprolol and Felodipine peaks a run time of 8 min. was used. The validation results were in good agreement with acceptable limits. RSD values which are less than 2.0 % indicating the accuracy and precision of this method. Hence it was evident that the proposed method was said to be a suitable one for the regular analysis and quality control of pharmaceutical preparations which contain these active drugs either individually or in combination.

Objective: The main aim of the present study was to develop a sensitive liquid chromatography–electrospray ionization–tandem mass spectrometric technique for the quantitation of amprenavir in human plasma. Methods: Chromatographic separation was achieved on a reversed-phase Symmetry C18 (50 mm×4.6 mm, 3.5 μm) column with isocratic elution by acetonitrile and 0.1% v/v formic acid in the ratio of 90:10 v/v as mobile phase. Chromatographic peaks were resolved with 0.7 ml/min flow rate. Drug was extracted with ethyl acetate solvent by liquid–liquid extraction method. Monitoring of transition of m/z 506.2 and 71.0 for amprenavir and 628 and 421 for methyl-indinavir was made on multiple reaction monitoring. Results: Calibration curve of amprenavir was linear over 1–600 ng/ml concentration range with regression coefficient (r2) value of >0.99. The % relative standard deviation values were <8.5% for interday and intraday precision and accuracy. The method has excellent recovery, and the percentage recovery values of lower quality control (QC), median QC, and higher QC samples were 101.86%, 102.8%, and 99.28%, respectively. Conclusion: The drug was stable for more time at variable stability conditions, and method was successfully applicable to regular analysis of amprenavir in biological matrices.

Abstract Afoxolaner is a new antiparasitic molecule from the isoxazoline family that acts on insect acarine g-aminobutyric acid and glutamate receptors. Afoxolaner is a racemic mixture, which has a chiral center at the isoxazoline ring. A reversed-phase chiral HPLC method has been developed to determine the chiral purity of bulk batches of (S)-enantiomer in afoxolaner for the first time. This method can also be used to verifythat afoxolaner is a racemic mixture, which was demonstrated by specific rotation. ChromSword, an artificial intelligence method development tool, was used for initial method development. The column selected for the final method was CHIRALPAK AD-RH (150 × 4.6 mm, 5 μm particle size), maintained at 45°C, and isocratic elution using water–isopropanol–acetonitrile (40 + 50 + 10, v/v/v) as the mobile phasewith a detection wavelength of 312 nm. The run time for the method was 11 min. The resolution and selectivity factors of the two enantiomers were 2.3 and 1.24, respectively. LOQ and LOD of the method were 1.6 and 0.8 μg/mL, respectively. This method was appropriately validated according to International Conference on Harmonization guidelines for its intended use.

Abstract A reverse-phase HPLC (RP-HPLC) method was developed for strontium ranelate using a full factorial, screening experimental design. The analytical procedure was validated according to international guidelines for linearity, selectivity, sensitivity, accuracy and precision. A separate experimental design was used to demonstrate the robustness of the method. Strontium ranelate was eluted at 4.4 minutes and showed no interference with the excipients used in the formulation, at 321 nm. The method is linear in the range of 20–320 μg mL−1 (R2 = 0.99998). Recovery, tested in the range of 40–120 μg mL−1, was found to be 96.1–102.1 %. Intra-day and intermediate precision RSDs ranged from 1.0–1.4 and 1.2–1.4 %, resp. The limit of detection and limit of quantitation were 0.06 and 0.20 μg mL−1, resp. The proposed technique is fast, cost-effective, reliable and reproducible, and is proposed for the routine analysis of strontium ranelate.
