A simple, effective approach for rapid development of high-throughput and reliable LC-MS/MS bioanalytical assays

摘要

Background: Rapidly developing LC-MS/MS assays with high-throughput and quality are challenging yet desired. Methodology & results: A simple method development approach was reported and demonstrated with the quantitative bioanalysis of BMS-984478, a hepatitis C virus nonstructural protein 5A inhibitor. An accurate, precise and robust LC-MS/MS method for the quantitation of BMS-984478 in rat and monkey plasma was developed and validated. Incurred sample reanalysis evaluation passed with 100% of samples meeting the acceptance criteria. The validated assay was successfully applied in toxicology studies without any failed runs. Conclusion: The approach was successfully applied to the bioanalysis of BMS-984478 in toxicology and clinical studies. This approach was shown to be effective and reliable in speeding the development of high-throughput and reliable LC-MS/MS assays.
