INTRODUCTION:

ICH (International Conference of Harmonization) M10 guidelines is basically for Bioanalytical Method Validation. This guidelines is to gives recommendation for the bioanalytical validation and bioanalysis and its application in the analysis of study materials. This guidelines applicable to the quantitatively analysis of ligand binding assay and chromatographic techniques, hyphenated techniques. When the method has been developed, bioanalytical method validation proves that the the method optimization is suitable for the study samples.¹

Q2R1 guidelines are applied for an analytical method validation. This BMV proves that quantification of analyte in biological matrix is reliable, reproducible and suitable for the method. Detection techniques for BMV are HPLC, GCMS, and LC-MS/MS use in small biomolecule quantitation. LC-MSMS is hyphenated triple quadrapole system, BMV study basically used this LC-MSMS.²

Bioanalysis:

It is a branch of analytical chemistry, in that involved the quantitative measurement of analyte concentration in their biological matrix. (Drugs and its metabolites, and biological molecules) in biological systems. In this analysis to determine analyte concentration in the biological samples. Quantitative measurement of analyte or its metabolites in the biological matrices, for the purpose of pharmacokinetic, pharmacodynamics, bioequivalence studies. Including this biological samples urine, blood, hairs, nails, tissue, saliva, plasma, CSF, bile, sputum, feces etc. (3)

Need of Bioanalysis:

The main focus of quantitatively bioanalysis measurements of chemical and biological drugs and their metabolites in the biological sample. It including Pharmacokinetic, Toxicokinetic, pharmacodynamics, bioequivalence, studies.(4) Forensic investigations, anti-doping testing in sports, and environmental concern this are major purpose for bioanalysis.(5)

Bioanalytical Method Development:

Bioanalytical method development is to design, operating condition, and limitation, suitability of method for its intended purpose and to ensure that the method is optimized for validation. Method development included effective procedure and conditions for extraction and detection of the analyte. The parameters that can ensure the suitability of method are-Reference standard, critical reagents, calibration curve, quality control samples, selectivity and specificity, sensitivity and accuracy, precision, recovery, stability of analyte in the matrix, minimum required dilution, but before starting development we knows about physicochemical properties of drugs.⁴

Physicochemical Properties of Drugs:

Solubility, permeability (BCS classification), water miscibility, distribution coefficient, choice of solvent, plasma protein binding, PH. By using literature survey collect physicochemical properties of drug-

· Determine solubility profile

· MS scanning and optimization

· Mobile phase selection (based on polarity)

· Selection of extraction method and optimization

· Selection of chromatographic method (based on solubility study, retention of compound)

-Mode of separation

-Selection of column

-Selection of mobile phase

-Role of PH, Buffer

-Role of Temperature

-Role of flow rate

Reversed Phase Chromatography:

Reversed phase containing column is C2, C4, C8, C18, and C30. But the most popular and most widely used for reversed phase column are a C8 and C18. In these C4, C2 and phenyl bonded are also available. Reversed phase sorbents generally involves conditioning with an organic solvent, polar solvent (e.g. methanol) and aqueous solvent (e.g. water).

Normal Phase Chromatography:

Normal phase include silica, amino, cyno, diol, florisil and alumina. This all are polar in nature, that’s why conditioning process used non polar solvent and elution is carried with polar solvents. The basic analyte which can retained by on silica. Polar analytes are irreversibly retained on a silica surface ex.amino group

Bioanalytical Method Validation:

Validation parameters Method validation is a process used to verify/confirm that an analytic method developed is suitable for its intended purpose, that it provides reliable and valid data for a specific analyte. Typical parameters to validate are; accuracy, precision, selectivity, sensitivity, linearity, recovery and stability. General recommendation for analytical method validation, according to a USFDA guidelines.

1) Full Validation:

Newly establish all validation parameters that ensure the accuracy of the method of sample analysis. Full validation of bioanalytical methods is important:

· During development and implementation of a novel bioanalytical method.(5)

· For analysis of a newer drug.

· Developed new method for clinical and nonclinical study.(6)

2) Partial validations:

· Partial validations evaluate modifications of already validated bioanalytical methods.⁷

· Bioanalytical method Transfer two one laboratory to another.

· Changing a method, concentration, volume of sample

· Changing storage conditions.

3) Cross-validation-

· Cross-validation is a comparison of validation parameters when two or more bioanalytical methods are used to generate data within the same study or across different studies.

· Comaring a data obtained between same laboratories but different bioanalytical method or different

Laboratories but same bioanalytical method.

Between this across study comparison between dosing regimen, regulatory (safety, efficacy, labelling).⁷

Bioanalytical Method Validation Parameter:

1) Accuracy:

The degree of closeness of the measured value to the nominal or known true value under the prescribed condition.

Measured Value- Nominal Value

Accuracy (%) = –––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––×100

Nominal Value

It is typically measured as relative error (%RE). Accuracy is also called as trueness. Accuracy is determined by replicate analysis of Quality Control samples that contain known amount of analyte (i.e., QCs). Accuracy should be measured 5 levels of concentration (LLOQQC, LQC, MQC, HQC, and ULOQQC). A minimum of three level of concentrations are recommended. The acceptance limit of LLOQ is NMT 20% and all other than LLOQ is NMT 15%.⁸

2) Precision:

The closeness of agreement among the series of measurements.

standard deviation

Precision (%) = –––––––––––––––––––––––× 100

mean

i) Repeatability-

Repeatability expresses the precision under the same operating conditions over a short interval of time. Repeatability is sometimes also termed within-run or within-day precision.⁹

ii) Intermediate Precision:

Intermediate precision expresses within-laboratories variations: different days, different analysts, different equipment, etc. The ISO definition used the term “M-factor different intermediate precision”, where the M-factor expresses the number of factors (operator, equipment, or time) that differ between successive determinations. Intermediate precision is sometimes also called between-run, between-day, or inter-assay precision.⁹

iii) Reproducibility:

Reproducibility expresses the precision between laboratories (collaborative studies, usually applied to standardization of methodology). Reproducibility only has to be studied, if a method is supposed to be used in different laboratories. Unfortunately, some authors also used the term reproducibility for within-laboratory studies at the level of intermediate precision.⁸

3) Calibration Curve:

The relationship between the instrument response and the concentration of an analyte in the sample within given range.

Standard Curve (Calibration Curve) The standard curve for a bioanalytical procedure is the existing relationship, within a specified range; between the response (signal, e.g., area under the curve, peak height, absorption) and the concentration (quantity) of the analyte in the sample i.e. In this instrument response (ex.height,area) is directly proportional to the known concentrations of the analyte. It is also called as calibration curve. This standard or calibration curve should be described preferably by a simple monotonic response function that gives reliable measurements, i.e. accurate results as discussed thereafter. This calibration curve is prepared by using biological sample by adding known concentration of analyte.¹⁰

4) Limit of quantitation:

a) Lower Limit of Quantitation (LLOQ):

The lowest amount of analyte in a sample that can be quantitatively determined with predefined precision and accuracy. Acceptance criteria is less than equal to 20%.

b) Upper Limit of Quantitation (ULOQ):

The highest amount of analyte in a sample that can be quantitatively determined with predefined precision and accuracy. Acceptance criteria is less than equal to 15 %.

The highest amount of an analyte in a sample that can be quantitatively determined with an acceptable precision and accuracy. Different approach are exist to find out lower limit of quantification (LLOQ). A first approach is based on the well-known signal-to noise (S/N) ratio approach. A 10:1 S/N is considered to be sufficient to discriminate the analyte from the background noise. Second approach is Standard Deviation and slope.(11) The computation for LLOQ is: LLOQ = 10σ/S Where σ is the standard deviation of the response and S = the slope of the calibration curve. Another approach to estimate the LLOQ is to plot the RSD versus concentrations close to the expected LLOQ.

5) Selectivity:

Selectivity is able to differ and measure the analyte concentration in presence of other unintended compound in a biological fluid.

Interfering component includes various types of impurities, degradants, or metabolites components. Analyses of blank samples of the appropriate biological matrix (plasma, urine, or other matrix) should be obtained from at least six sources. Each and every blank matrix are tested for contaminant, and selectivity should be performed at the lower quantification limit (LLOQ).

6) Specificity:

In this specificity it find out an impact of interfering compound on a target drug in a biological matrix. For example, in HPLC by using uv detector, the method is specific if the assigned peak at a given RT shows only one target analyte peak ; in liquid chromatography with mass spectrometry detection (LC-MS) the detector could measure selective an analyte, even if this is not fully separated from unintended compounds.¹¹

7) Recovery:

The comparing area of sample extraction and Aqs sample. The extraction capacity of an analytical process, reported as a known amount of an analyte added in the sample extraction and processing steps of the method.

Recovery of the analyte need not be 100%, but the extent of recovery of analyte and of the internal standard should be consistent, precise and reproducible.¹²

8) Stability:

The chemical stability of analyte in a given matrix under specific conditions for given time intervals is assessed in several ways.

a) Freeze and Thaw Stability:

Stability should be a minimum of three freeze thaw cycles. This stability is determined at a minimum of two concentration levels (LQC and HQC). The samples are kept in refrigerator 12-24hr for −20 or −70°C. Then it is removed from refrigerator and kept at room temperature (thawed). Again, the samples s are kept in refrigerator at the same temperature (12–24 h) and again thawed. This freezing and thawing cycle is repeated several (3-4) times. After completion of last cycle the samples get analyse. If more degradation is observed the freeze thaw cycle are repeated in which determined the instability.as per requirement increasing or decreasing freeze thaw cycle.¹³

b) Bench-Top Stability:

The quality control samples (QC) having minimum two concentration level (LQC and HQC) are placed at room temperature for 12-24 hr. The concentrations are analysed by comparing with their nominal values. The analysing the sample in a 3 replicate of each QC level.⁴

c) Long Term Stability:

This stability is performed after validation. The two QC samples in the matrix low and high concentration level are analysed by keeping at long-term storage temperature and analysed in 3 replicate of each level. The after the validation long-term stability should be performed in intervals according to their requirement like 1-6 month. The final original report prepared by adding result and this are separated from other report.⁸

d) Stock Solution Stability:

The stock solution stability should be evaluated at room temperature for a 6-12 h of target analyte and internal standard. After that this stock solution are kept in refrigerator over a period. Then comparing the response of these stock solutions with freshly prepared solution. To check the stability in two QC level (LQC and HQC) in a duplicate.¹³

e) Auto Sampler Stability:

This stability should be determined for extracted solution. To perform expected run time for the analytical batch and to allow delayed injection due to long term storage of the samples, this stability is determined for 48 to 96 hrs. This stability is determined on two QC level which are kept in auto sampler for specific time. These samples are analysed with fresh QC sample.¹⁴

9) Carry-over:

Carry-over is generally not an issue for LBA analyses. Changing a concentration of analyte due to the residual analyte from the preceding sample that present in the analytical instrument in this carry over, sequence of sampling in an auto sampler like, first blank-LLOQ-ULOQ-second blank –third blank. Acceptance limit is i) carry over at RT of analyte is <20% for LLOQ sample ii) for IS is <5% of LLOQ and ULOQ.¹⁰

10) Matrix Effect:

To check the direct or indirect interferences in area response due to presence of other analyte or other interfering substance in sample.⁸ Comparison of results of extracted and unextracted sample at LQC and HQC level. Acceptance criteria-% CV (at LQC andHQC) should be less than 15%

11) Robustness:

According to ICH guidelines, the robustness of an analytical procedure is the measure of its capacity to remain unaffected by small, variations in method parameters and it get provides a reliability during normal use. it gives as the ability to reproduce the (analytical) method in different laboratories or under different conditions (s), and a robustness test to changing parameter like mobile phase composition, PH of the solution, temperature of the column, flow rate.¹⁴

12) Ruggedness:

It includes change in analysts, chemicals, laboratories, columns, instruments, sources of reagents, solvents. A validation parameter ruggedness is the degree of reproducibility produce in a obtain test result under the analysis of same limitation and same conditions. The ruggedness of the method was studied by changing the experimental condition such as, a. changing to another column of similar type b. changing the laboratories

Sample Preparation- (Sample Pre-Treatment)

Extraction Techniques:

There are mainly 3 types of extraction techniques,

1) Precipitation

2) Solid phase extraction

3) Liquid liquid extraction-

1) Precipitation:

Protein precipitation is used in to remove proteins. Precipitation can be proceed by the addition of an organic solvent, a salt or by alter the PH which affect the solubility of the proteins. The samples are centrifuged and thy can be injected into the HPLC system or be evaporate, remove moisture to dryness and after that dissolved in a suitable solvent. If the protein precipitation technique is combined with SPE to give neat and clean extract. Basically Salts are used for precipitation. This technique involved concentration of salts are increased protein gets concentrate, aggregate and precipitate out. (16)

2) Solid phase extraction:

This extraction consists of bringing a liquid or gaseous test sample in contact with a solid phase, whereby the analyte is selectively adsorbed on the surface of the solid phase. Extraction depends on a chemical and physical properties of compound.¹⁷

Steps of SPE:

1) Conditioning- Wetting of the adsorbent (stationary phase) it is also called as a solvation. The organic solvent used this process are a methanol, acetonitrile or water. Apply pressure is 2 drops/second.

2) Loading- Load the sample or application of sample, upto 50ml of sample load, +ve or –ve pressure apply.

3) Washing- Washing is necessary for to improvement of elution and recovery. Polarity difference between wash solvent (ex, water) and elution solvent (ex, methanol) is larger.it removing impurity by using water, acetonitrile like solvent.

4) Elution-Target analyte will removed by using suitable solvent, mostly preferable solvent is methanol.

Liquid – Liquid extraction generally involves the extraction of a substance from one liquid phase to another liquid phase.it is a common method for extraction .it is a simple, low cost, time saving but one drawback is loss of analyte recovery. Strong basic compound and quaternary amines.

5) WAX:

Polymeric weak anion exchange reversed phase, mixed mode sorbent.it selective for a strong acidic compound.¹⁵

3) Liquid liquid extraction:

It is a solvent extraction or partitioning. Separate the compound based on their relative solubilities in two different immiscible liquid, usually water and an organic solvent. LLE can generate low analyte recoveries, simple, rapid, loss of solvent, clean extracts, and is perceived as low cost. Basically used for extraction of inorganic solvent. Extraction solvents may need to be

In method development to know about a sample having properties, other information of analyte like

· Number of compounds present

· Molecular weights of compound

· Sample Solubility

· Drug Stability

· Concentration range of compounds in analyte of interest.

Mass Spectrometry:

Ionization source, mass analyser and detector are the 3 main parts of mass spectrometry.

LC - Separation of the mixture of analytes

Interface - Separation of the analyte from the solvent

MA (mass analyzer)-Separation of the analyte molecular ion and fragments according to their mass to charge ratio

Detector - To detect components of the mixture being eluted off the chromatography column

Ionization methods:

These are include the following:

a) Electro spray ionization (ESI)

b) Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI)

c) Fast atom bombardment (FAB) and,

d) Matrix assisted laser desorption ionization (MALDI).

Common Interfaces:

a) Electrospray ionization (ESI) - Is a technique used in mass spectrometry to produce ions from electrospray it applied high amount of voltage for liquid convert into aerolsol. It is used in producing ions from macromolecules.²²

b) Atmospheric pressure chemical ionization (APCI) - Is an ionization method used in mass spectrometry used gas-phase ion-molecule reactions at atmospheric pressure (105Pa),combined with high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC).APCI is also called as a soft ionization method, like a chemical ionization in that primary ions are generated on a solvent spray. The APCI basically used for polar, less polar, thermally stable components having mol.wt < 1500 Da.²²

Mass Analyzer-

a) Quadrupole mass analyzer (QMS): Is one type of mass analyzer used in mass spectrometry.

· It is also known as quadrupole mass filter, transmission quadrupole mass spectrometer or quadrupole mass spectrometer.

· Quadrapoles means four cylindrical rods, they are parallel to each other. In this mass analyzer quadrapoles are filtering a sample ions, depending on their mass to charge ratio (m/z) ions are travel by using trajectory motion, it get separated based on stability and oscillating electrical field applied to the rod.²³

b) Ion Trap: An ion trap is a combination of magnetic or electric fields used to capture ions, often in a system isolated from an external environment.

c) Time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOFMS): In this analyzer ion get separated according to their velocity and m/z ratio with respect to time.²⁴

From this ratio and known experimental parameters, one can identify the ion.

Steps of MS/MS Analysis

1) Q1 (first quadrupole acts as a mass filter)

2) Q2 (role of Q2 is a collision of the cell in that select an ions and it breakdown into fragment).

3) Q3- The remaining fragments ions are detected by third quadrupole.

Detection and Recording of Sample ions -

The detector detects the ion current that can be produce from analyser, amplifies it and then the signal is transmitted to the data system where it is recorded in the form of mass spectra. The graph plotted m/z values of the ions verses their intensities to showing the number of analyte in the sample, it also showing molecular mass of each component, and the relative abundance of the various components in the sample. The detectors used in LC-MS/MS is photomultiplier, electron multiplier and micro-channel plate detectors.²³

2) GAS Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS):

GC-MS is a method that combines the features of gas chromatography and mass spectrometry to identify different substances within a test sample GC used for separation purpose and MS used for detection purpose.²⁵

In a GC separation based on a partition.it include stationary phase and mobile phase, in that column coated with liquid stationary phase and gaseous mobile phase flows through the column. Sample introduced through heated injection port it get vaporised by using a detector flame ionization detector, thermal conductivity detector, electron captured detector. Sample gets separated according to their relative solubility and applied vapour pressure.²⁶

The interface between the GC-MS is shows efficiency of the instrument. both system are heated (200-300℃), one major problem is that atmospheric pressure output of the GC must be reduced to vacuum of 10-5 torr for the MS inlet. Interference used in a GC-MS are capillary direct interface, jet separator interface, effusion separator. Ionization techniques used electron impact ionization, chemical ionization.

Ionization -After the molecules travel the length of the column, enter into the mass spectrometer they get ionized by ionization method, only one method used at a time, after that sample is fragmented and detected, by using electron multiplier diode, it covert ionized mass fragment into an electrical signal that is then detected. Electron ionization: In the electron ionization (EI) the molecules enter into the MS where they are bombarded with free electrons emitted from a filament, The bombardment of electrons on the molecules, it get causing the fragment molecule. This is called hard ionization" technique. In this produced more fragments having mass to charge ratio (m/z) is a low. in "soft ionization" produced molecular collision with an introduced gas. This molecular fragmentation depend on the electrical energy applied to the system, typically 70 eV (electron Volts).²⁷

Analysis-Full Scan MS Full scan is useful in determining unknown compounds in a sample, full scan mode to determine the RT and the mass fragment fingerprint before moving to a SIM instrument method.

Ion monitoring -In selected ion monitoring (SIM) selective ion fragments are enter into the instrument and only those mass fragments are detected by using MS.

Types of mass spectrometer detectors- The most common type of mass spectrometer detector is-

a) Quadrupole mass spectrometer

b) Ion trap mass spectrometer

c) Magnetic sector mass spectrometer

d) Time of flight (TOF)

e) Tandem mass spectrometer

They deflects ions down a curved tubes in a magnetic fields based on their kinetic energy determined by the mass, charge and velocity. The magnetic field is scanned to measure different ions.

3) High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC:

HPLC is a High Performance Liquid Chromatography. It is divided by two types 1. Normal phase- it containing stationary phase is polar (ex, silica, alumina, cyno, amino gr) and mobile phase is a nonpolar (ex, hexane, toluene ) 2.Reversed phase- containing an exact opposite of normal phase , stationary phase is a nonpolar (ex, C2,C4,C8,C18 column) and mobile phase is a polar (ex, methanol, acetonitrile). It is used as qualitative as well as quantitative analysis. High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) is a chromatographic separation techniques used in an analytical and bioanalytical method for separation of analyse in their solution to check their identity, purity, quality and quantity of the analyte in their mixure.²⁷

HPLC principle is based on adsorption and partition chromatography is depend on the nature of stationary phase, if stationary phase is solid – adsorption, stationary phase is liquid- partition chromatography. In instrumentation shows reservoir (mobile phase), pump, sample injector, column, detector and recorder. Detector are two types-1) Bulk property detector (ex, Refractive index) 2) solute property detector – UV visible, PDA, fluorescence) other detector are IR, Evaporating light scattering detector. System suitability parameters involves, Retention Time, Resolution, Capacity factor, Resolution and Tailing factor.

· HPLC used in a pharmaceutical product stability studies, degradation study (acid, base, photo degradation, oxidative degradation study)

· Bioanalysis, natural product analysis, food analysis, drug interaction studies, preparative analysis, cosmetics and forensic science.²⁸

4) Capillary Electrophoresis - Mass Spectrometry (CE-MS) –

It combining the high efficiency and resolution, Ion power of CE, with the high selectivity and sensitivity inherent to MS. However, CE-MS coupling, mostly by means of ESI, migration of charged particles in a solution applying their external electric field, they move towards an opposite charged electrode, in CE technique that separation of ions on the basis of charged particle it is also called electrophoretic mobility with the use of an applied voltage, 1000 volts/cm. CE-MS has using various ionization techniques like FAB, ESI, MALDI, APCI and DESI.the widely used ionization technique in CE-MS is ESI.

Three types of interference used in a CE-MS/ESI:

1) Sheath less interface

2) Sheath flow interface

3) Liquid junction interface

By using sheathless interface electrophoresis capillary is attached to an ESI with a sheath less interface. Coating of capillary by using conductive metal, to generate electrical power of ESI liquid sheath are used on here, this instrument shows high sensitivity, flow rates is low and minimum background. These interface shows robustness, very less reproducibility.

The novel sheath less interface shows grater reproducibility, highly improves drug analyte loading capacity of CE and it able to ultrasensitive detection of trace analytes.²⁹
