Abstract
Technologies currently employed to find and identify drug metabolites in complex biological matrices generally yield results that offer a comprehensive picture of the drug metabolite profile. However, drug metabolites can be missed or are captured only late in the drug development process. This could be due to a variety of factors, such as metabolism that results in partial loss of the molecule, covalent bonding to macromolecules, the drug being metabolized in specific human tissues, or poor ionization in a mass spectrometer. These scenarios often draw a great deal of attention from chemistry, safety assessment, and pharmacology. This review will summarize scenarios of missing metabolites, why they are missing, and associated uncovering strategies from deeper investigations. Uncovering previously missed metabolites can have ramifications in drug development with toxicological and pharmacological consequences, and knowledge of these can help in the design of new drugs.

Abstract
LC with atmospheric pressure ionization MS is essential to a large number of quantitative bioanalyses for a variety of compounds, especially nonvolatile or highly polar compounds. However, in many instances, weak ionization, poor LC retention and instability of certain analytes hinder the development of the LC–MS/MS method. Chemical derivatization has been used for different classes of analytes to improve their ionization efficiency, chromatographic separation and chemical stability. This work presents an overview of chemical derivatization methods that have been applied to the quantitative LC–MS/MS analyses of nine classes of molecules, including aldehydes, amino acids, bisphosphonate drugs, carbohydrates, carboxylic acids, nucleosides and their associated analogs, steroids, thiol-containing compounds and vitamin D metabolites, in biological matrices.

Abstract
A highly sensitive fluorogenic probe for tiopronin was proposed. 2,4-Dinitrobenzenesulfonyl-fluorescein (I) is an almost nonfluorescent compound. Upon mixing with tiopronin in aqueous solution, the 2,4-dinitrobenzenesulfonyl group of I was efficiently removed and its parent dye fluorescein was released, hence leading to dramatic increases in both fluorescence and absorbance of the reaction mixture. Under optimal conditions, the fluorescence increase is linear with tiopronin concentration in the range 5.0-600 ng mL(-1), with a detection limit of 1.5 ng mL(-1) (3sigma). The proposed method has been successfully applied to tiopronin determination in pharmaceutical preparations and in spiked human urine samples.
