Bioanalytical Method Development
• The quantitative determination of drug and there metabolite in biological material in order to established in
Pharmacokinetic and toxicokinetic studies is known as Bioanalytical method development.
• It can includes in number of steps - Collection, Storage, Sample Preparation, Separation, Identification and
quantification of analyte.
• It is important method for identification of analyte, removal of analyte, concentration of analyte, preconcentration
of analyte, dissolution of analyte, quantification analyte.
• It is important for new drug discovery, new drug development, preformulation studies, formulation studies,
validation of product, analysis of compound, method development studies and Bioanalytical research purpose.
• It can includes three types of techniques
1. Protein precipitation
2. Solid phase extraction
3. Liquid – liquid extraction

Bioanalytical Method relates specifically to determine the concentration of drug or its metabolite or both in
biological matrix such as plasma, serum, urine , etc
Bioanalytical information used in human clinical pharmacology, bioavailability (BA) and bioequivalence (BE)
studies requiring pharmacokinetic evaluation
Bioanalytical method is also used for non human pharmacology/ toxicology studies (preclinical studies)

Why Validate Bioanalytical Methods?
The reason for validating a Bioanalytical procedure is to demonstrate the performance and reliability of a method and
hence the confidence that can be placed on the results. In addition, has stated that all Bioanalytical methods must be
validated if the results are used to support registration of a new drug or the reformulation of an existing one. It should
be noted that the initial validation is only a beginning, as a method should be monitored continually during its
application to ensure that it performs as originally validated. Validation involves documenting, through the use of
specific laboratory investigations, that the performance characteristics of the method are suitable and reliable for the
intended analytical applications.
Need of Bioanalytical Method Validation
 It is essential to used well-characterized and fully validated Bioanalytical methods to yield reliable results that can be
satisfactorily interpreted.
It is recognized that Bioanalytical methods and techniques are constantly undergoing changes and improvements; they are at the
cutting edge of the technology.
It is also important to emphasize that each Bioanalytical technique has its own characteristics, which will vary from analyte to
analyte, specific validation criteria may need to be developed for each analyte .
Moreover, the appropriateness of the technique may also be influenced by the ultimate objective of the study. When sample
analysis for a given study is conducted at more than one site, it is necessary to validate the Bioanalytical method(s) at each site
and provide appropriate validation information for different sites to establish inter-laboratory reliability.

LC-MS/MS
LC/MS/MS is a hyphenated technique that combines physical separation power of liquid chromatography with
detection power of Mass spectrometry.
LC/MS/MS is a powerful technique used for many application which have very high sensitivity and specificity
Characterization of organic compounds (bimolecular or not) in complicate or relatively simple matrices (samples,
specimens).
Qualitative and quantitative information are both obtainable.
It could be considered as a ultra sensitive and specific probe for the nature.
It can includes,
1. A hyphened analytical system.
2. LC separation + MS/MS identification.
3. Suitable for wild range of compound-matrix combinations analysis.
4. Easy-to-use.
5. General high sensitivity.
24-12-2015 11
Liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC–MS/MS), has led to major breakthroughs in the field of
quantitative bioanalysis since the1990s due to its inherent specificity, sensitivity, and speed. It is now generally
accepted as the preferred technique for quantitating small molecule drugs, metabolites, and other xenobiotic
biomolecules in biological matrices (plasma, blood, serum, urine, and tissue).

Importance of LC-MS
 To develop and validate highly specific, reliable and cost effective LC-MS/MS
method for determination of drug in human plasma
 The scope of developing and validating the Bioanalytical method is to get a
suitable method which is more accurate and precise for the analyte of interest
under given set of lab condition by using resources available
24-12-2015 14
Steps In Method Development
Literature search for drugs.
 Identification of analytical techniques and optimization
 Reference standard preparation.
 Selection of internal standard
Sample pre- treatment (Extraction procedure)
 Sample storage
24-12-2015 15
Identification of analytical techniques and optimization
• Mode of separation
• Selection of column
• Selection of mobile phase
• Role of pH, Buffer
• Role of Temperature
• Role of flow rate
24-12-2015 16
Limitations of LC-MS/MS
• Major in the compatibility between LC and MS.
• Limited acceptable LC flow rate, ESI(< 200 uL/min), APCI(<1 ml/min).
• Not allowed for nonvolatile Salts, e.g. phosphate, borate.
• TFA suppresses the ES- mode.
• Ion competition in ESI (matrix effect).
• Limited buffer concentration, %Org/water, ion-pairing or ion-exchange agents (ESI)
24-12-2015 17
Bioanalytical Applications
• Drug Development - Determination of drugs and metabolites in plasma or other biofluids.
• Food Safety - Melamine dosing, Pesticides residue, my toxins, additives.
• Life Science - Proteomics, metabolomics, polysaccharides
• Clinical Chemistry - Neonatal Screening, Therapeutic Drug Monitoring, Occupational Bio
monitoring
• Forensic Science - Drug Abuse
