A novel derivatization strategy for profiling phosphate ester/anhydride metabolic network and application on glioma rats using HILIC-MS/MS. Talanta 2021; 228:122238. [PMID: 33773740 DOI: 10.1016/j.talanta.2021.122238] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/10/2020] [Revised: 02/16/2021] [Accepted: 02/16/2021] [Indexed: 10/22/2022]
Abstract
Phosphate esters and anhydrides have great significance in the field of biochemical research and medical therapy. The genetic materials (DNA or RNA), most of the coenzymes, many intermediary metabolites, such as nucleotides and glycosyl phosphates in vivo are phosphodiesters, phosphoric acid or phosphates, respectively. It is important to monitor endogenous active phosphate metabolites for investigating many biological processes or drug mechanism. However, the detection and determination of those free active phosphate metabolites are challenged due to their unstable and easily hydrolyzed property and relatively low sensitivity, especially diphosphates and triphosphates. In the current study, we successfully developed a strategy by 3-aminomethyl pyridine (AMPy) derivatization coupled with hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (HILIC-MS/MS) for simultaneous determination of multiple types of phosphate metabolites with good stability in 48 h and 29 to 126-fold improvement of the limit of detection (LOD). Based on the diagnostic fragment ions of different types of AMPy-derivatized phosphate metabolites, characteristic MRM ion pairs were successfully performed for global profiling of the phosphate metabolites in phosphate ester/anhydride metabolic network, including nucleotide/deoxynucleotide mono/di/triphosphates, glycosyl mono/diphosphates, and other key phosphates, such as 5-phosphoribosyl-1-pyrophosphate (PRPP), SAICARP and FAICARP in HPF, HUVEC and PBMCs cells without standards. The developed strategy greatly expanded the coverage of applying a single derivatization reaction to analyze active phosphate metabolites. Finally, the established method was performed to investigate the phosphate esters and anhydrides based on a glioma rat model. For the first time, phosphate metabolites were comprehensively characterized based on phosphate ester and anhydride metabolic network, covering nucleotide metabolism, glycolysis and pentose phosphate pathways, etc. The results demonstrated that the applicability of the method could be extended to a wider range of active phosphate compounds and could facilitate to related applications in the future studies.

Direct and indirect quantification of phosphate metabolites of nucleoside analogs in biological samples. J Pharm Biomed Anal 2019; 178:112902. [PMID: 31610397 DOI: 10.1016/j.jpba.2019.112902] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.6] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/31/2019] [Revised: 08/22/2019] [Accepted: 09/29/2019] [Indexed: 12/19/2022]
Abstract
Nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) are prodrugs that require intracellular phosphorylation to active triphosphate nucleotide metabolites (NMs) for their pharmacological activity. However, monitoring these pharmacologically active NMs is challenging due to their instability, high hydrophilicity, and their low concentrations in blood and tissues. Liquid chromatography coupled to tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) is the gold standard technique for the quantification of NRTIs and their phosphorylated NMs. In this review, an overview of the publications describing the quantitative analysis of intracellular and total tissue concentration of NMs is presented. The focus of this review is the comparison of the different approaches and challenges associated with sample collection, tissue homogenization, cell lysis, cell counting, analyte extraction, sample storage conditions, and LC-MS analysis. Quantification methods of NMs via LC-MS can be categorized into direct and indirect methods. In the direct LC-MS methods, chromatographic retention of the NMs is accomplished by ion-exchange (IEX), ion-pairing (IP), hydrophilic interaction (HILIC), porous graphitic carbon (PGC) chromatography, or capillary electrophoresis (CE). In indirect methods, parent nucleosides are 1st generated from the dephosphorylation of NMs during sample preparation and are then quantified by reverse phase LC-MS as surrogates for their corresponding NMs. Both approaches have advantages and disadvantages associated with them, which are discussed in this review.

Abstract
Aim: MK-8591 (EFdA), a novel anti-HIV nucleoside analog, is converted to mono-, di- and tri-phosphates (MK-8591-MP, MK-8591-DP and MK-8591-TP) intracellularly, among which MK-8591-TP is the active pharmacological form. An ultrasensitive LC-MS/MS assay was required to measure MK-8591-DP and MK-8591-TP levels in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs). Sensitivity and reproducibility were major bottlenecks in these analyses. Materials and methods: Human PBMCs were isolated from blood and lysed with 70/30 methanol/RPMI-1640. An LC-MS/MS method was developed to simultaneously quantify MK-8591-DP and MK-8581-TP in PBMC lysates. Results: Low flow LC and dimethyl sulfoxide mediated signal enhancement enabled an extreme sensitivity with limit of quantitation at 0.1 ng/ml. Assay accuracy was 92.5-106% and precision was 0.7-12.1% for a linear curve range of 0.1-40 ng/ml. Matrix variability and interference liability were comprehensively evaluated. Conclusion: Our study findings and steps taken in addressing clinical sample issues help understand and overcome the challenges facing intracellular nucleotide analog analysis.

Abstract
A conventional, rapid and high throughput method for tissue extraction and accurate and selective LC-MS/MS quantification of 2'-C-methylguanosine triphosphate (2'-MeGTP) in mouse liver was developed and qualified. Trichloroacetic acid (TCA) was used as the tissue homogenization reagent that overcomes instability challenges of liver tissue nucleotide triphosphates due to instant ischemic degradation to mono- and diphosphate nucleotides. Degradation of 2'-MeGTP was also minimized by harvesting livers using in situ clamp-freezing or snap-freezing techniques. The assay also included a sample clean-up procedure using weak anion exchange solid phase extraction followed by ion exchange chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry detection. The linear assay range was from 50 to 10000 pmol/mL concentration in liver homogenate (250-50000 pmol/g in liver tissue). The method was qualified over three intraday batches for accuracy, precision, selectivity and specificity. The assay was successfully applied to pharmacokinetic studies of 2'-MeGTP in liver tissue samples after single oral doses of IDX184, a nucleotide prodrug inhibitor of the viral polymerase for the treatment of hepatitis C, to mice. The study results suggested that the clamp-freezing liver collection method was marginally more effective in preventing 2'-MeGTP degradation during liver tissue collection compared to the snap-freezing method.

Abstract
Hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC) is being increasingly used for the analysis of hydrophilic compounds in biological matrices. The complexity of biological samples demands adequate sample preparation procedures, specifically adjusted for HILIC analyses. Currently, most bioanalytical assays are performed on bare silica and ZIC-HILIC columns. Trends in HILIC for bioanalysis include smaller particle sizes and miniaturization of the analytical column. For complex biological samples, multidimensional techniques can separate and identify more compounds than 1D separations. The high volatility of the mobile phase, the added separation power and high sensitivity make MS the detection method of choice for bioanalysis using HILIC, although other detectors such as evaporative light scattering detection, charged aerosol detection and nuclear magnetic resonance have been reported.

Challenges and solutions in the bioanalysis of BMS-986094 and its metabolites including a highly polar, active nucleoside triphosphate in plasma and tissues using LC-MS/MS. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2015. [PMID: 26209768 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2015.07.006] [Citation(s) in RCA: 7] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Indexed: 11/29/2022]
Abstract
BMS-986094, a nucleotide polymerase inhibitor of the hepatitis C virus, was withdrawn from clinical trials because of a serious safety issue. To investigate a potential association between drug/metabolite exposure and toxicity in evaluations conducted after the termination of the BMS-986094 development program, it was essential to determine the levels of BMS-986094 and its major metabolites INX-08032, INX-08144 and INX-09054 in circulation and the active nucleoside triphosphate INX-09114 in target and non-target tissues. However, there were many challenges in the bioanalysis of these compounds. The chromatography challenge for the extremely polar nucleoside triphosphate was solved by applying mixed-mode chromatography which combined anion exchange and reversed-phase interactions. The LC conditions provided adequate retention and good peak shape of the analyte and showed good robustness. A strategy using simultaneous extraction but separate LC analysis of the prodrug BMS-986094 and its major circulating metabolites was used to overcome a carryover issue of the hydrophobic prodrug while still achieving good chromatography of the polar metabolites. In addition, the nucleotide analytes were not stable in the presence of endogenous enzymes. Low pH and low temperature were required for blood collection and plasma sample processing. However, the use of phosphatase inhibitor and immediate homogenization and extraction were critical for the quantitative analysis of the active triphosphate, INX-09114, in tissue samples. To alleviate the bioanalytical complexity caused by multiple analytes, different matrices, and various species, a fit-for-purpose approach to assay validation was implemented based on the needs of drug safety assessment in non-clinical (GLP or non-GLP) studies. The assay for INX-08032 was fully validated in plasma of toxicology species. The lower limit of quantification was 1.00ng/mL and the linear curve range was 1.00-500.00ng/mL using a weighted (1/x(2)) linear regression model. Intra-assay and inter-assay precision (CV, %) ranged from 2.3% to 5.5% and accuracy within ±2.2% from nominal. INX-08032 was found to be stable in acidified mouse plasma for at least 24h in wet ice bath, 125 days at -70°C and following at least three freeze-thaw cycles. No endogenous components in plasma were found to interfere with the measurement. The extraction recovery was between 90% and 95%. The assays for BMS-986094, INX-08144, INX-09054 and INX-09114 were qualified with wider acceptance criteria for accuracy and precision. Analyte stability was also evaluated to guide sample collection, storage, and processing. These assays were successfully applied to an investigative toxicokinetic and tissue metabolite profiling study described in the article.

Abstract
The capability of employing synthesized zwitterionic silica-based monolithic capillary columns (140 mm × 0.1mm) for separation of highly polar and hydrophilic nucleobases, nucleosides, and nucleotides in hydrophilic interaction chromatography is reported. The suitability of the columns for on-line conjunction with electrospray tandem mass spectrometry was explored. Our results show that the grafted layer of zwitterionic monomer ([2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl]-dimethyl-(3-sulfopropyl)-ammonium hydroxide or 2-methacryloyloxyethyl phosphorylcholine) on the silica monolithic surface significantly improved the separation selectivity and reproducibility, as compared to the bare silica monolith. The stepwise elution from 90% to 70% of acetonitrile enabled separation of a complex sample mixture containing 21 compounds with a total analysis time less than 40 min.

Abstract
Retention characteristics of selected synthetic 5'-terminal phosphate absent penta-nucleotides containing adenine, guanine, and thymine were studied in relation to their sequence by hydrophilic interaction chromatography and ion-interaction reversed-phase liquid chromatography. The organic solvent content, pH, and buffer concentration in mobile phases were evaluated as influential separation conditions. Data demonstrate that both compared chromatographic modes can be used to separate synthetic penta-nucleotides according to their nucleotide composition. Moreover, reversed-phase liquid chromatography allows separation according to their sequence. We have found a simple linear additive model to describe the retention order in both separation modes in regard to their sequence. In hydrophilic interaction chromatography, the retention behavior is controlled primarily by the hydrophilicity of involved nucleotides and minimally by their sequence position. For reversed-phase liquid chromatography, the nucleotide hydrophobicity plays an important role in their retention properties and the influence of their location in sequence on the retention increases toward the center and decreases toward the termini. Our results show that the penta-nucleotide sequence, and thus its spatial arrangement induced by the surrounding environment, is highly related to the retention properties, so it may be hypothetically used to read the sequence from the retention properties acquired under particular separation conditions.

Abstract
RATIONALE Nucleotide analogs are highly polar and ionic, which impose great challenges on bioanalysis. Ion-pairing liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry (LC/MS/MS) is the predominant reported approach for such compounds. Assay ruggedness of ion-pairing LC/MS/MS methods was often a challenge due to the potential contamination of the ion source of the mass spectrometer and LC column performance deterioration caused by ion-pairing reagents. METHODS An ion-pairing reagent was only added to the reconstitution solution to minimize its exposure to the MS ion source. To achieve optimum sensitivity, high pH mobile phases and negative ion ESI were needed for the LC/MS/MS method. However, high pH mobile phases led to the accumulation of ion-pairing reagent on the analytical column, which was washed off with an acidic solution to restore the column performance. In addition, isopropanol was used as a mobile phase modifier to improve peak shape and sensitivity. RESULTS The limit of detection was established at 1.0 ng/mL in the cell lysate. The calibration curve showed good linearity over the range of 1.0 to 100 ng/mL. The overall accuracy was no less than 87.7% based on four levels of quality control samples. Inter-run precision and intra-run precision across four analytical runs for low, geometric, medium and high QCs were less than 12.9. CONCLUSIONS By identifying and addressing the root cause of the assay ruggedness problem, we have developed a rugged ion-pairing LC/MS/MS method for a triphosphate (TP) metabolite of BMS-986001 in peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The new method overcame challenges such as a rapid deterioration of the peak shape, increased carryover and extremely poor column life. The peak shape was well maintained throughout multiple analytical runs. This method has been successfully applied to a toxicology study in cynomolgus monkey.

Abstract
Exposure to endogenous and exogenous chemicals can lead to the formation of structurally modified DNA bases (DNA adducts). If not repaired, these nucleobase lesions can cause polymerase errors during DNA replication, leading to heritable mutations and potentially contributing to the development of cancer. Because of their critical role in cancer initiation, DNA adducts represent mechanism-based biomarkers of carcinogen exposure, and their quantitation is particularly useful for cancer risk assessment. DNA adducts are also valuable in mechanistic studies linking tumorigenic effects of environmental and industrial carcinogens to specific electrophilic species generated from their metabolism. While multiple experimental methodologies have been developed for DNA adduct analysis in biological samples, including immunoassay, HPLC, and ³²P-postlabeling, isotope dilution high performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization-tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-ESI-MS/MS) generally has superior selectivity, sensitivity, accuracy, and reproducibility. As typical DNA adduct concentrations in biological samples are between 0.01-10 adducts per 10⁸ normal nucleotides, ultrasensitive HPLC-ESI-MS/MS methodologies are required for their analysis. Recent developments in analytical separations and biological mass spectrometry, especially nanoflow HPLC, nanospray ionization MS, chip-MS, and high resolution MS, have pushed the limits of analytical HPLC-ESI-MS/MS methodologies for DNA adducts, allowing researchers to accurately measure their concentrations in biological samples from patients treated with DNA alkylating drugs and in populations exposed to carcinogens from urban air, drinking water, cooked food, alcohol, and cigarette smoke.

Abstract
Previous investigations in our laboratories resulted in the discovery of a novel series of potent nucleoside inhibitors of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) NS5B polymerase bearing tetracyclic 7-substituted 7-deaza-adenine nucleobases. The planarity of such modified systems was suggested to play a role in the high inhibitory potency observed. This paper describes how we envisaged to maintain the desired planarity of the modified nucleobase by means of an intra-molecular H-bond, engaging a H-bond donor atom on an appropriately substituted 7-heterocyclic residue with the adjacent amino group of the nucleobase. The success of this strategy is reflected by the identification of several novel potent nucleoside inhibitors of HCV NS5B bearing a 7-heterocyclic substituted 7-deaza-adenine nucleobase. Amongst these, the 1,2,4-oxadiazole analog 11 showed high antiviral potency against HCV replication in replicon cells and efficient conversion to the corresponding NTP in vivo, with high and sustained levels of NTP measured in rat liver following intravenous and oral administration.

Abstract
Nucleoside analogs are widely used in anti-cancer, anti-(retro)viral, and immunosuppressive therapy. Nucleosides are prodrugs that require intracellular activation to mono-, di-, and finally triphosphates. Monitoring of these intracellular nucleotides is important to understand their pharmacology. The relatively involatile salts and ion-pairing agents traditionally used for the separation of these ionic analytes limit the applicability of mass spectrometry (MS) for detection. Both indirect and direct methods have been developed to circumvent this apparent incompatibility. Indirect methods consist of de-phosphorylation of the nucleotides into nucleosides before the actual analysis. Various direct approaches have been developed, ranging from the use of relatively volatile or very low levels of regular ion-pairing agents, hydrophilic interaction chromatography (HILIC), weak anion-exchange, or porous graphitic carbon columns to capillary electrophoresis and matrix-assisted light desorption--time of flight (MALDI-TOF) MS. In this review we present an overview of the publications describing the quantitative analysis of therapeutic intracellular nucleotide analogs using MS. The focus is on the different approaches for their direct analysis. We conclude that despite the technical hurdles, several useful MS-compatible chromatographic approaches have been developed, enabling the use of the excellent selectivity and sensitivity of MS for the quantitative analysis of intracellular nucleotides.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the in vivo absorption enhancement of a nucleoside (phosphoramidate prodrug of 2'-methyl-cytidine) anti-viral agent of proven efficacy by means of intestinal permeation enhancers. Natural nucleosides are hydrophilic molecules that do not rapidly penetrate cell membranes by diffusion and their absorption relies on specialized transporters. Therefore, the oral absorption of nucleoside prodrugs and the target organ concentration of the biologically active nucleotide can be limited due to poor permeation across the intestinal epithelium. In the present study, the specificity, concentration dependence, and effect of four classes of absorption promoters, i.e. fatty acids, steroidal detergents, mucoadhesive polymers, and secretory transport inhibitors, were evaluated in a rat in vivo model. Sodium caprate and alpha-tocopheryl-polyethyleneglycol-1000-succinate (TPGS) showed a significant effect in increasing liver concentration of nucleotide (5-fold). These results suggested that both excipients might be suited in a controlled release matrix for the synchronous release of the drug and absorption promoter directly to the site of absorption and highlights that the effect is strictly dependent on the absorption promoter dose. The feasibility of such a formulation approach in humans was evaluated with the aim of developing a solid dosage form for the peroral delivery of nucleosides and showed that these excipients do provide a potential valuable tool in pre-clinical efficacy studies to drive discovery programs forward.

Analysis of endogenous ATP analogs and mevalonate pathway metabolites in cancer cell cultures using liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization mass spectrometry. J Chromatogr B Analyt Technol Biomed Life Sci 2009; 877:2967-75. [PMID: 19665949 DOI: 10.1016/j.jchromb.2009.07.010] [Citation(s) in RCA: 37] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/17/2009] [Revised: 07/03/2009] [Accepted: 07/07/2009] [Indexed: 12/24/2022]
Abstract
Nitrogen-containing bisphosphonates (N-BPs) are shown to inhibit a key enzyme of intracellular mevalonate pathway, FPP synthase, leading to intracellular accumulation of pathway metabolites isopentenyl pyrophosphate (IPP) and dimethylallyl pyrophosphate (DMAPP). In our previous studies we have shown that a new type of ATP analog, ApppI (triphosphoric acid 1-adenosin-5'-yl ester 3-(3-methylbut-3-enyl) ester), is also formed in addition to IPP and DMAPP accumulation. ApppI has cytotoxic effects leading to direct apoptosis of various cancer cells. In this study we present a validated method based on ion-pair LC-MS(2) for the analysis of isomeric mevalonate pathway metabolites and ATP analogs in cell culture samples. Limit of quantitation for IPP and DMAPP was 0.030microM (1.35fmol on-column) and for ApppI and ApppD 0.020microM (0.9fmol on-column). Acceptable accuracies and precision were also obtained for quality control samples in low and high concentrations of the calibration curve. In addition, we present a new method for quantitation of each coeluting isomer utilizing the peak intensity ratios of two characteristic fragment ions of each compound. For IPP and DMAPP, fragment ions m/z 177 and m/z 159 in the MS(2) were monitored, whereas for ATP analogs, ApppI and ApppD (triphosphoric acid 1-adenosin-5'-yl ester 3-(3-methylbut-2-enyl) ester), the same fragments in the MS(3) spectra were followed. IPP and DMAPP accumulation as well as ApppI and ApppD formation was demonstrated using MCF-7 breast cancer cells. Cells were treated with 25muM zoledronic acid (an N-BP) for 24h, conditions found to induce significant production of the metabolites. We found that the total amount of IPP and DMAPP was 2.4nmol/mg of protein and amount of ApppI and ApppD was 1.1nmol/mg protein. Relative portions of the isomers were approximately 1:4 IPP:DMAPP and 3:7 ApppI:ApppD. Untreated control samples did not contain IPP, DMAPP, ApppI or ApppD.
