Background: High-resolution MS (HRMS) has recently received a considerable interest in quantitative bioanalysis using full-scan acquisition mode. The benefits include complete elimination of compound-specific MS method development, and simultaneous collection of mass spectral data on both targeted and non-targeted components. One additional advantage that has not been widely discussed is its suitability for simultaneous quantitation of, theoretically, an unlimited number of compounds, which is not possible with selected reaction monitoring (SRM) on a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer.
Materials & Methods: We took advantage of this unique bioanalytical capability of HRMS and developed a novel in vitro ADME workflow of cassette incubation of as many as 32 compounds, followed by quantitative bioanalysis using full-scan acquisition on an Orbitrap HRMS. The workflow was evaluated for a serum protein-binding assay and a parallel artificial membrane permeability (PAMPA) assay.
Results: The bioanalytical assay displayed acceptable sensitivity, selectivity and linearity for all compounds in the cassettes, and the biological results obtained using this approach were similar to those from discrete incubation and analysis, demonstrating the feasibility of the workflow. Additional benefits of this platform include a saving of analysis time due to the reduced sample numbers from the cassette approach, as well as cost saving due to the reduction in the required assay reagents.
Conclusion: Cassette incubation with bioanalysis using HRMS is a feasible approach for high-throughput in vitro ADME assays evaluated in this study.

Background: Anthelmintic resistance in ruminants is a widespread problem that has a severe impact on productivity and animal welfare. The helminth Haemonchus contortus is generally considered the most important parasite in small ruminants due to its high pathogenicity and the widespread occurrence of anthelmintic resistance in it. Although the molecular mechanisms associated with resistance against the anthelmintics benzimidazoles (BZs) and levamisole are relatively well understood, the resistance mechanisms against the widely used anthelmintic macrocyclic lactones (MLs) ivermectin (IVM) and moxidectin (MOX) remain poorly understood.

Background: The laccase Lcc9 from Coprinopsis cinerea has optimal catalytic activity at moderate to alkaline pH conditions, making it invaluable for industrial applications. However, C. cinerea naturally secretes Lcc9 at low expression levels, which limits the industrial application of Lcc9 on a large scale.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers developed novel calcium phosphate nanoparticles (CaP-NPs) that improve the delivery and uptake of drugs like doxorubicin (DOXO) and curcumin, a natural P-gp modulator, in OSA cells.
- * The study found that co-treatment with these nanoparticles and a P-gp inhibitor significantly reduced cell viability in human OSA cells, while canine cells showed different responses, indicating a need for more research on species-specific treatment strategies.
