title: Immobilized artificial membrane chromatography with mass spectrometric detection: a rapid method for screening drug-membrane interactions.
abstract: A high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC)/electrospray ionization mass spectrometry method for measuring drug-membrane interactions was developed using immobilized artificial membrane (IAM) fast-screening mini-columns. The HPLC mobile phase consisted of phosphate-buffered saline (i.e., 5.0 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7.4, 1.35 mM KCl, and 68.5 mM NaCl) and acetonitrile. This method facilitated the measurement of IAM retention time of over ten compounds in one experiment, significantly reducing analysis time compared with the earlier IAM-HPLC method. The particular electrospray source used demonstrated the ability to tolerate the high salt-containing nonvolatile buffer used for retention time measurement.
