2 Overview Purpose: To verify research methods to quantify a variety of chemotherapeutic drugs on the new Thermo Scientific Prelude sample preparation-liquid chromatography (SPLC) system, coupled to a Thermo Scientific TSQ mass spectrometer. The LC// platform reduces solvent consumption, requires less maintenance, and is easier to use then traditional systems. Methods: Prelude SPLC, Turbulent Flow Chromatography, LC//, chemotherapeutics Results: Methods for the chemotherapeutic drugs,, and Imatinib, were validated using a Prelude SPLC system and TSQ mass spectrometer platform. Introduction Bioanalysis using LC-/ can be difficult due to complex sample preparation and errors in sample handing, which can lead to variability. The use of liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-/) to quantify chemotherapeutic drugs (i.e., busulfan, methotrexate, imatinib, and docetaxel) is common practice. We demonstrate the application of Prelude SPLC system in developing a faster, more reproducible and lower solvent consuming methods for quantification of chemotherapeutic drugs. Methods Preparation The samples in every method were prepared in human plasma. preparation consisted of protein precipitation with organic solvents that contained internal standard, vortexed, followed by centrifugation. The supernatant was removed and injected into the Prelude SPLC system for analysis. Liquid Chromatography On-line sample clean-up was performed by.x mm Thermo Scientific TurboFlow columns and analytical separation was performed with Thermo Scientific Accucore x2.1mm, 2.6 µm particle size columns. For iminatib, busulfan, and methotrexate, the TurboFlow HTLC-C18 XL column and Accucore PFP analytical column were used. For docetaxel, the TurboFlow HTLC-C8 XL column and Accucore C8 analytical column were used. Mobile phases were (A) 1 mm ammonium formate,.% formic acid in water; (B) 1 mm ammonium formate,.% formic acid in methanol; and (C) 4/4/1 acetonitrile/isopropanol/acetone for iminatib, busulfan, and methotrexate. Docetaxol used acetonitrile for mobile phase B. All run times were 4 minutes or less and multiplexed to 2 minutes per sample. These methods consumed less than 3 ml of mobile phase per injection. Structures of Chemotherapeutic Drugs The Prelude SPLC system use method for on-line clean-up, a 1. The first step (Figure 1A lo load the sample with aqueous onto the TurboFlow column un conditions.

Docetaxol 4 minutes or less and onsumed less than 3 ml of Drugs usulfan The Prelude SPLC system uses a two column method for on-line clean-up, as shown in Figure 1. The first step (Figure 1A loading step) is to load the sample with aqueous mobile phase onto the TurboFlow column under turbulent flow conditions. Under turbulent flow conditions, large molecule (>1 kda) cannot interact with the stationary phase and are washed to while the analytes of interest are retained on the column. Since the majority of matrix interferences are from the matrix proteins, the analyte of interest is removed from the matrix during step 1. Once the sample is removed from the matrix, the valves switch and the TurboFlow column is back-flushed with organic solvent stored in the loop of the first valve (filled from the previous injection), which elutes the analyte of interest from the TurboFlow column to the analytical column (Figure 1B transfer step). In order to focus the analyte onto the analytical column, the flow from the TurboFlow column is teed to a valve with an aqueous flow from a second pump. The separation step on the analytical column provides gaussian chromatographic peaks and further separates any interferences. The elution step (Figure 1C) switches the second valve so that the sample is now eluted to the mass spectrometer and the loop can be filled with the correct percent of organic solvent for the next sample. Once these steps are complete, the valves are returned to the loading position where the columns can be cleaned and equilibrated for the next sample injection. Results FIGURE 1. Valve positions for On-line Clean up and Analytical Separation. 2 µ L loop 2 µ L loop 2 µ L loop Mass Spectrometry Detection of eluting analytes was done with a Thermo Scientific TSQ Vantage triplestage quadrupole mass spectrometer, equipped with a heated electrospray ionization (HESI II) probe in positive ion mode using selected reaction monitoring (SRM). Data Analysis Quantitation was calculated with Thermo Scientific LCQUAN software. Accuracy and precision experiments were performed for system verification from three separate preparations of calibrators and controls on three different days. Interday and intraday accuracy and precision results were obtained at concentration ranges of 2 2 ng/ml for busulfan, 1 2 ng/ml for imatinib, 1 ng/ml for docetaxel, and 1 7 ng/ml for methotrexate. The method precision had RSD values less than 1% for all compounds tested. Additionally, accuracy was 1% of the theoretical value for all the methods. The correlation coefficient values for all the compounds ranged from.991 to.998, showing linearity throughout all concentrations and analytes. All the analytes passed carryover, bench top stability, autosampler stability, and specificity criterion. Recoveries, including matrix effects, were all ~>9%. Data are summarized in Tables 1 4. Figure 2 depicts representative standard curves for each compound tested. Representative chromatograms at the lower limit of quantitation (LLOQ) for each compound are shown in Figure 3. The improvement in run times resulting from the lower void volumes of the Prelude SPLC system verses a conventional is illustrated in Figure 4 for. The same mobile phases and columns were used for the comparison. When using on-line clean-up, the duration of certain steps cannot be changed because they are dependent on the chromatographic separation needed. The duration of other steps in the process are related to how long it takes for solvent changes to reach the column. The sample clean-up and sample elution steps are dependent on the chromatography, and therefore, the time for those steps remain the same. However, the transfer, column cleaning and re-equilibration steps can be reduced. On a conventional the transfer step was 7 seconds vs. 6 seconds on the Prelude SPLC system. The column clean-up and equilibration steps were reduced from 1 to 6 seconds. The result is a reduction in run time of 29% (:1 minutes to 3:4 minutes). A shorter run time also reduced solvent consumption by 33%. (A) (B) (C) TABLE 1. Method Range, Linearity, Compound name Method Range Imatinib TABLE 2.

Off-line techniques such as liquid-liquid extraction are time consuming and costly from both a material and disposal point of view. On-line sample clean-up lowers the sample preparation duration and variability of the methods by and minimizing sample handling. Utilizing the new Prelude SPLC system reduced the run time to under 4 minutes. The shorter method time allows for higher sample throughput, which is increased further by the multiplexing capabilities of the Prelude SPLC system. The shorter run time also dramatically reduced the solvent consumption, leading to further reductions operating cost. The Prelude SPLC system was specifically designed to reduce instrument maintenance, down time, and operating costs for high-throughput LC// applications that require sample clean-up prior to analysis. The Prelude SPLC system utilizes syringe pumps designed to deliver the volume of mobile phase required for each sample analysis with a single push of the piston. This pump design greatly reduces the wear and tear on pump seals and check valves because the pistons in dual piston reciprocating pumps can move several hundred if not thousands of times per sample run. The majority of maintenance required on traditional pumps results from the wear of the seals and check valves; therefore, syringe pumps are more robust than traditional pumps. In addition, the Prelude SPLC system syringe pumps have no need for pulse dampers. The result is that the Prelude SPLC system has extremely low dead volumes, making rapid changes in mobile phases possible. The time required for many of the steps in a method to occur are reduced, resulting in shorter run times and lower solvent costs for equivalent methods Prelude SPLC System & TSQ En Cross-validation of chemotherape coupled to the new Thermo Scien spectrometry platform.

The Prelude SPLC system has lower void volumes than conventional systems, resulting in sample run times that are 2-3% shorter. The reduced run time also results in reduced cost due to lower consumption of mobile phases. The Prelude SPLC system uses a single syringe fill per sample, which removes the need for pulse dampeners, reduces the mechanical wear and tear on the pumps, does not need proportioning valves, and removes the need for active check valves. The result: far less maintenance is required, further reducing cost and down time. References 1. Lambert, W.E., et al. Anal Chem. 2, 77, Haouala, A. et al. J. Chrom. B. 29, 877, Panderi, I. J. Chrom.
