Hybrid ligand-binding (LB) LC-MS/MS protein quantitative assays involve a LB step for analyte enrichment that has less stringent requirements than the conventional LB assays. Herceptin™(trastuzumab) binding to HER2 extracellular domain was evaluated using on-bead and off-bead capture formats. The two formats yielded significantly different trastuzumab concentrations in human and monkey serum pharmacokinetic samples. Biotransformations, including deamidation of asparagine and isomerization of aspartic acid near the complementarity-determining regions of trastuzumab, had a profound impact on the LB step for analyte enrichment and trastuzumab quantification. Quantitative measurements were profoundly impacted by LB conditions in a hybrid LB LC-MS/MS protein assay due to biotransformations. Therefore, similar to conventional LB assays, binding conditions should be carefully evaluated during assay development.

Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are persistent organic pollutants with increasing prevalence in agricultural soils, primarily introduced through biosolid application, wastewater irrigation, and atmospheric deposition. This review provides a meta-analysis of terminologies across 145 peer-reviewed studies, identifying inconsistency in the classification of PFAS subgroups-such as "long-chain vs. short-chain," "precursors," and "emerging PFAS"-which hinders regulatory harmonization and model calibration.

Antibody-drug conjugates (ADCs) represent a rapidly expanding class of therapeutics, uniquely combining the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the potency of cytotoxic small-molecule payloads. Due to their inherent structural complexity and heterogeneous composition, accurate characterization and quantification of ADCs pose significant bioanalytical challenges. This review discusses recent advancements in bioanalytical methodologies, including ligand binding assays (LBAs), liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS)-based approaches, and emerging hybrid LBA-LC-MS/MS platforms.

Small interfering RNA (siRNA) is a new class of oligonucleotide therapeutics that is rapidly growing in drug research and development for the treatment of various diseases. One major challenge for siRNA therapeutics is their inefficient delivery to target tissues by systemic administration. Antibody-siRNA conjugates (ARC) are being developed as a promising approach to enhancing the selectivity and delivery of siRNA payloads to target tissues.

Human seminal vesicles present basal release of epithelium-derived 6-nitrodopamine (6-ND) and this catecholamine potentiates noradrenaline-induced contractions. Since nitric oxide synthase (NOS) activation is a determining factor involved in 6-ND biosynthesis, this study aimed to investigate which NOS isoform is responsible for the 6-ND release in mouse isolated seminal vesicles (MISV). Male control, eNOS, NOS, iNOS, and e/n/iNOS mice were used.
