In this introduction we will explain how the webinars will works and also we will give an overview of the applications and what is is our vision on the Mass Spec software development.

Late Stage Functionalization studies aims to synthetize chemical analogs without the need of using intermediate functional groups. In most cases, conditions to synthetize the desired product should be tuned and the analysis of all the obtained data can be quite time consuming. MassChemSite and WebChembase...

Molecular interaction field (MIF), aiming at describing molecules as their ability to interact with any chemical entity, and related molecular descriptors are one of the most established and versatile concepts in drug discovery. Clearly, any further improvement in the in silico molecular description is highly...

Force degradation studies are aimed to foresee the possible degradants and impurities that can be formed during storage of the chemical under study. Regulatory agencies had been made efforts in the definition of protocols for stability testing, being one of them the “International Conference on...

In the recent years there have been several MS techniques that have been developed that enables the possibility to perform MS analysis in a high throughput manner. One of the techniques is the application of the MALDI ion source in a the Rapiflex system. These techniques open the possibility to run DMPK...

PROTAC is a new class of compounds that tend to have quite a large structure and their metabolic studies could be challenging. Here we are presenting the use of MassMetaSite / WebMetabase in the study of the in-vitro metabolism of a PROTAC compound showing the...

How much the metabolite identification can be automize is a question that many customers have asked us many times in the latest years. Firstly, we provided first the possibility to compute a batch of experiments in MassMetaSite alone or in connection to WebMetabase, but this solution needed to generate a...

One of the keys aspects of today Drug Discovery is the ability to put the data into the context of the intended use of the it and how to extract information from the data. This can be done in a better way when data can be combined...

Mass Spectrometry Imaging is an established and powerful MS technique that enables molecular mapping of tissues and cells finding widespread applications in academic, medical, and pharmaceutical industries. Through user-friendly implementation of image visualization and co-registration, univariate and multivariate image and spectral analysis, and for the...

The combination of high spatial resolution and throughput MALDI imaging capabilities with high-performance Trapped Ion-Mobility Spectrometry (TIMS) separations provides a uniquely tunable platform to address many challenges associated with advanced molecular imaging applications. The capabilities of such TIMS-based platform provide a critical need to the...

Tissue distribution studies of drug and drug metabolites is a key step in the drug development pipeline. Mass Spectrometry Imaging is an established and powerful MS technique that enables mapping of drugs and metabolites directly from tissue without target specific labels or reagents. To achieve...

Peptides therapeutics are gaining a significant role on the pharmaceutical market due to their high selectivity and efficacy. However, natural peptides often must be optimized to improve their ADME properties by cyclisation, introduction of chemically modified amino acids or other modifications. Moreover, they can be...

Peptides therapeutics are becoming increasingly important on the pharmaceutical market. However, it is known that peptide drugs bioavailability and stability are lower than for small molecules. It is highly important to understand peptide drug metabolism and optimize its clearance as it influences the drug safety...

In complicated chemical reactions, like synthesis of PROTACs, the accidental generation of undesired byproducts can occur even if the conditions are well controlled (i.e. the unexpected degradation of one of the products, the interaction of solvent, catalysts and impurities with reactants, etc.). Reaction Tracking workflow...

Waters UNIFI Scientific Information System encompasses data acquisition, processing, visualization, reporting, and other tools within a networked laboratory environment. Prior MassChemSite 3.0, data providing from UNIFI specific instruments, like VION or the latest BioAccord LC-MS System. In this talk we will show how to configure...

Over the last two decades, lipids have come to be understood as far more than merely components of cellular membranes and forms of energy storage. Indeed, their pivotal role in a variety of diseases including diabetes, obesity, heart diseases, cancer, or neurodegenerative diseases, is now...

Lipid biomarker research represents one of the most widespread applications in lipidomics.  In this context, stable isotope labelling has become a staple technique in the study of lipid metabolism and dynamics, as it allows to directly measuring biosynthesis, remodeling and degradation of biomolecules.  The application...

Since the initial version of Lipostar, there have been significant strides to add features in collaboration with users to enable further data analysis in ways that other software platforms seldom provide. Here we present how the trend analysis, a new tool for global lipid profiling...
