Abstract

Background: Therapeutic protein discovery study highlights the need for the development of quantitative bioanalytical methods for determining the levels of both the therapeutic protein and the target protein, as well.

Results: For the quantitation of BMS-986089, both accuracy (99-103%) and precision (2.4-12%) were obtained for the analysis of the surrogate peptide (ITYGGNSPVQEFTVPGR), in addition to the accuracy (100-108%) and precision (0.7-18%) that were obtained for the analysis of the surrogate peptide (VVSVLTVLHQDWLNGK). For Myostatin, accuracy (94-103%) and precision (2.4-14.9%) were obtained for the analysis of the surrogate peptide (IPAMVVDR).

Conclusion: The developed method was applied to the analysis of samples following dosing of BMS-986089 to mice. This method highlights the potential of LC-MS/MS-based methods to eventually assess in vivo drug-target engagement.
