A rapid, sensitive and selective ultra-performance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) method was developed and validated for the determination of febuxostat in dog plasma. Using paclitaxel as an internal standard (IS), a simple liquid-liquid extraction method with ethyl acetate was adopted for plasma sample pretreatment. Separation was carried out on an Acquity UPLC BEH C(18) column with a mobile phase consisting of acetonitrile and water (containing 0.2% formic acid). The assay was linear in the concentration ranged from 5 to 5000 ng/mL with a lower limit of quantification of 5 ng/mL for febuxostat. The single run analysis was as short as 2.0 min. Finally, the developed method was successfully applied to the pharmacokinetic study of febuxostat tablets following oral administration at a single dose of 40 mg in beagle dogs.

Background: Antineoplastic agents are hazardous drugs used in cancer treatment and consequently can be present at the workplace (e.g. hospital), but also in a home-setting in case of treatment at home.

Analysing monosaccharide composition is an essential step in deciphering polysaccharide structures. However, it presents significant challenges due to the pronounced hydrophilicity and the vast array of monosaccharide isomers. Gas/liquid chromatography, coupled with an aldononitrile acetate derivatisation, has been widely used for monosaccharide composition analysis.

Pomegranate seeds, a by-product of pomegranate processing, are gaining attention in food industries due to their high antioxidant activity. However, the lack of quality markers reflecting activity and spatial characteristics limits their utilization and product stability. In this research, a selective and sensitive method integrating ultra performance liquid chromatography-quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry with feature-based molecular networking, and desorption electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry imaging developed to identify components and locate in-situ images of quality markers via spatial metabolomics analysis.

E6011 is a monoclonal antibody that is currently under development for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis. While ligand binding assays (LBAs) are typically employed for the determination of therapeutic antibodies, ultra-performance liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-MS/MS) represents an alternative platform. E6011 in monkey serum was treated with ammonium sulfate to obtain pellets for subsequent processing.

3-Chloromethcathinone (3-CMC) is a synthetic cathinone that has been identified as a new psychoactive substance (NPS) by the European Monitoring Centre for Drugs and Drug Addiction. Despite its increasing prevalence in the recreational drug market since 2014, scientific literature on 3-CMC remains limited. This study employed a multi-step approach to investigate 3-CMC metabolism.
