MDL 74,721 (I), sumatriptan(II) and naratriptan(III) are new 5-HT1-like agonists that have potential as a novel treatment for migraine. Liquid chromatographic-electrospray-mass spectrometric (LC-ESI-MS) assay have been developed to compare the pharmacokinetics of these three antimigraine compounds. The concentration of each parent drug was determined using a solid-phase extraction method and LC-ESI-MS analysis demonstrating the high sensitivity and specificity of the methods down to subnanogram levels in rabbit plasma samples. Pharmacokinetic parameters evaluated after administration of single intravenous and oral doses were very similar and the ANOVA analysis did not show any statistically significant differences for t1/2, Cmax, V or AUC (normalised). The pharmacokinetic parameters showed short t1/2 (range 1.14-1.9 h) either after intravenous (i.v.) or oral (p.o.) administration and high total body clearance (CL) after the p.o. dose both probably due to extensive and rapid metabolism of the parent drugs as suggested by the low values for bioavailability (range 13.4-22.8%).

In this study, a stability-indicating reversed-phase liquid chromatographic electrospray mass spectrometric method was developed and validated for the determination of process-related impurities and forced degradants of Efavirenz in bulk drugs. Efavirenz was subjected to acid, alkaline hydrolysis, H2O2 oxidation, photolysis, and thermal stress. Significant degradation was observed during alkaline hydrolysis, and the degradants were isolated on a mass-based purification system and characterized by high-resolution mass spectrometry, positive electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry, and (1)H and (13)C NMR spectroscopy.

1-Methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP) is widely used as a neurotoxin in several models of Parkinson's disease in mice. MPTP is metabolized to 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium (MPP(+)), which is a mitochondrial toxicant of central dopamine (DA) neurons. There are species, strain, and age differences in sensitivity to MPTP.

A simple and sensitive method for determination of the O-demethylation activity of rat, dog, minipig, and human liver micrsomes toward paeonol using ultra-performance liquid chromatography with mass detection (UPLC-MS) has been developed. The method uses chemically synthesized O-demethylated metabolite of paeonol (2,4-dihydroxyacetophenone, DHA) as a standard for method validation. Validation was done with respect to specificity, linearity, detection limit, recovery, stability, precision and accuracy.

Glucuronidation of the non-steroidal anti-inflammatory chiral drug flobufen and its major metabolite M17203 has been implicated as an important mechanism of flobufen elimination. To characterize flobufen metabolism by O-glucuronidation, new liquid chromatographic method (LC) coupled with ESI-MS was developed to detect the conjugates of flobufen and its metabolites formed in vitro in rat liver microsomes. Discovery DSC-18 LT cartridge columns were utilized for solid phase extraction (SPE) and Discovery C18 column (150 mm x 2.
