Oxaliplatin [1,2-diaminocyclohexane (dach)-Pt complex] is a platinum anticancer drug which is mainly used in the treatment of advanced colorectal cancer, particularly in Heated Intraoperative Chemotherapy (HIPEC) for the treatment of colorectal peritoneal carcinomatosis. In order to better understand the penetration of oxaliplatin in treated tissues we performed a direct imaging of tissue sections from HIPEC-like treated rat kidney using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) mass spectrometry. This procedure allowed the detection and localization of oxaliplatin and its metabolites, the monocysteine and monomethionine complexes, in kidney sections. Specifically, oxaliplatin and its metabolites were localized exclusively in the kidney cortex, suggesting that it did not penetrate deeply into the organ. Based on these results, an imaging analysis of human tumors collected after HIPEC is currently in progress to assess the distribution of oxaliplatin and/or metabolites with the aim of defining clinical conditions to improve drug penetration.

In this study, we analyzed purine derivatives using multimatrix variation matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI MS) with α-cyano-4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CHCA), 1,5-diaminonaphtalene (DAN), 5-formylsalicylic acid (FSA), and 5-nitrosalicylic acid (NSA) as matrices. Further, we focused on the abstraction/attachment of hydrogen from/to analytes and detected [M - H], [M + 2H] and/or [M + 3H] in MALDI MS spectra of compounds containing nitrogen and/or carbonyl oxygen. Although [M - H] generation of purine compounds in MALDI MS with conventional matrices was challenging, NSA-MALDI MS effectively yielded the [M - H]species of purine derivatives compared with CHCA, FSA, and DAN, and the [M - H]/[M + H] ratios reflected their structures, such as the substituting groups and positions.

Matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) has been used to generate spatial maps of lipids, metabolites, peptides, proteins, and glycans in tissues; however, its use for mapping extracellular matrix (ECM) protein distributions is underexplored. ECM proteins play a major role in various pathological conditions, and changes in their spatial distributions affect the function and morphology of cells within tissues. ECM protein detection is challenging because they are large, insoluble, and undergo various post-translational modifications, such as glycosylation.

Background: Knowledge of the chemical composition of amyloid plaques and tau tangles at the earlier stages of Alzheimer's disease (AD) pathology is sparse. This is due to limited access to human brain during life and at the earlier stages of AD pathophysiology and technical limitations in quantifying amyloid and tau species at a subcellular level. Understanding the chemical composition of plaques and tangles, how rapidly they grow and what factors drive growth is important for developing and refining therapeutics.

Background: Although amyloid deposition in brain is one of the hallmark pathological features of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the upstream events and its molecular environment in AD brain remain largely unknown. Recent advances in analytical methods such as mass spectrometry can provide the cutting-edge tools to unveil the AD pathogenesis at molecular and atomic level.
Method: In order to gain the comprehensive information about AD pathology at molecular level, postmortem brain sections of AD patients were analyzed by the hybrid molecular imaging methods composed of the conventional histological analyses, matrix assisted laser desorption ionization mass spectrometry imaging (MALDI-MSI) for small molecules, laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) imaging for metals, and particle induced X-ray emission (PIXE) imaging for elements.

Introduction: Bloodstream infections are serious conditions requiring precise bacterial identification for effective treatment. Traditional culture-based methods, while reliable, are time-consuming. The direct identification method by MALDI-TOF MS promises rapid and accurate identification directly from positive blood cultures.
