lüll MALDI imaging mass spectrometry: bridging biology and chemistry in drug development Castellino S; Groseclose MR; Wagner DBioanalysis 2011[Nov]; 3 (21): 2427-41Our understanding of drug tissue distribution impacts a number of areas in drug development, including: pharmacology, pharmacokinetics, safety, drug-drug interactions, transport and metabolism. Despite their extensive use, autoradiography and tissue homogenate LC-MS analysis have limitations in providing a comprehensive assessment of tissue distributions. In the case of autoradiography, it is the inability to distinguish between parent drug and drug metabolites. In LC-MS analysis of tissue homogenate, all tissue localization information is lost. The emerging technique of MALDI imaging mass spectrometry has the capability to distinguish between parent and metabolites while maintaining spatial distribution in tissues. In this article, we will review the MALDI imaging MS methodology as applied to drug development and provide examples highlighting the impact of this important technique in drug development.|*Drug Discovery/instrumentation/methods[MESH]|*Pharmaceutical Preparations/chemistry/metabolism[MESH]|*Spectrometry, Mass, Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption-Ionization[MESH]|Animals[MESH]|Drug Interactions[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Tissue Distribution[MESH] |
