High-Throughput Drug Stability Assessment via Biomimetic Metalloporphyrin-Catalyzed Reactions Using Laser-Assisted Rapid Evaporative Ionization Mass Spectrometry (LA-REIMS)

Building extensive drug candidate libraries as early in the development pipeline as possible, with high-throughput in vitro absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) profiling, is crucial for the selection of lead compounds to guide subsequent research and production phases. Traditionally, the analysis of metabolic stability assays heavily relies on high-throughput LC-MS/MS (liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry) techniques to meet with the lead profiling demands. Laser-assisted rapid evaporative ionization mass spectrometry (LA-REIMS) is a quick and efficient technique for characterizing complex biological samples without laborious sample preparation.
