The early stages of drug discovery involve identification, selection and optimization of drug candidates. The applications of high perfomance liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (GHPLC/MS/MS) assays have become an extremely useful analytical chemistry tool. Combining HPLC/MS/MS with proper in vitro and in vivo study designs can accelerate the transition from discovery through pre-clinical development. The API 3000™ HPLC/MS/MS system is an enhanced high performance triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with a mass range of 5-3000 mass units making it an essential tool for small moleucle drug discovery. The API 3000 is ideal for drug level analysis in complex matrices in drug discovery and development studies including pharmacokinetic/toxicokinetic (PK/TK), pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic (PK/PD) correlation, tissue distribution, cassette dosing, plasma/matrix stability, metabolic stability, as well as protein and peptide analysis.
