Revolutionizing LC-MS with Next-Gen Separation for Cyclic Peptide Analysis
Author(s)MOBILion Systems, Inc
Cyclic peptides, known for their stability and high specificity, are promising therapeutic agents in the fight against cancer, infections, and autoimmune diseases. However, developing effective cyclic peptides presents numerous challenges, including poor pharmacokinetics, efficacy, and toxicity. Traditional methods like liquid chromatography tandem-mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) often struggle with resolving isomeric linear peptide metabolites, posing significant risks in safety, efficacy, and regulatory approval. In this paper, Komal Kedia, PhD, will share how she leveraged MOBIE’s high-resolution ion mobility-mass spectrometry (IM-MS) system to achieve a 72% reduction in run times, 200% greater resolving power, and enhanced accuracy in identifying “soft spots” prone to enzymatic degradation.
