摘要

The solid-phase microextraction technique quantifies analytes without considerably affecting the sample composition.Herein,a proof-of-concept study was conducted to demonstrate the use of coated probe electrospray ionization(coated-PESI)and coated blade spray(CBS)as ambient mass spectrometry ap-proaches for monitoring drug biotransformation.The ability of these methods was investigated for monitoring the dephosphorylation of a prodrug,combretastatin A4 phosphate(CA4P),into its active form,combretastatin A4(CA4),in a cell culture medium supplemented with fetal bovine serum.The CBS spot analysis was modified to achieve the same extraction efficiency as protein precipitation and ob-tained results in 7 min.Because coated-PESI performs extraction without consuming any samples,it is the preferred technique in the case of a limited sample volume.Although coated-PESI only extracts small quantities of analytes,it uses the desorption solvent volume of 5-10 pL,resulting in high sensitivity,thus allowing the detection of compounds after only 1 min of extraction.The biotransformation of CA4P into CA4 via phosphatases occurs within the simple matrix,and the proposed sample preparation techniques are suitable for monitoring the biotransformation.
