摘要
HPLC combined with atmospheric pressure ionization (API) mass spectrometry (MS) has become a very useful tool in the pharmaceutical industry. The technique of HPLC-API/MS/MS is becoming very important for both drug discovery and drug development programs. In the drug discovery area, it has three major uses: (1) rapid, quantitative method development, (2) metabolite identification, and (3) multi-drug analysis. The sensitivity of the API source and the selectivity provided by tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) enable rapid, quantitative method development for drugs in plasma. Early information on the metabolism of candidate drugs can guide structural modifications, thereby improving the activity and/or bioavailability.
