Drug metabolism and pharmacokinetics
- metabolite profiling by using mass spectrometry -
|

| Organizer |
Organized by Makoto Takei (Daiichi Sankyo Co., Ltd.) & Kazuyoshi Nozaki (Astellas Pharma Inc.)
|
|---|
| Scope |
Two years have passed since the FDA guidance on the safety testing of drug metabolites, in other words MIST (Metabolites In Safety Testing) guidance, was published in February 2008. The discovery of disproportionate drug metabolites including unique human metabolites late in drug development can be a serious damage for the drug safety assessment from a ADME standpoint. Therefore characterizing metabolic pathways based on pre-clinical in vitro data and/or animal studies help avoid unnecessary delays in the clinical program. In recent years, the mass spectrometry has been recognized as the most important method for the qualitative and quantitative evaluation of the metabolite profiling. However, it is an undoubted fact that the mass spectrometry is not a perfect methodology for identification and measurement of metabolites in safety testing especially when the authentic standards of the metabolites and stable isotope-labeled compounds for the internal standard are not obtained. In this workshop, the advantages and disadvantages of the mass spectrometric technique related to MIST will be discussed.

Mass Spectrometry of Biomolecules - Amino acids, Nucleic acids, Carbohydrates, Proteins, Lipids, etc. - Toward a Global Understanding of Living Systems
|

| Organizer |
Organized by Akira Motoyama (Shiseido Co., Ltd.) & Naoyuki Yamada (Ajinomoto.Co., Inc.)
|
|---|
| Scope |
As an indispensable tool for the analysis of biomolecules, Mass Spectrometry has been significantly contributing to life science research that tries to understand or control living systems. However, as evidenced by the progress of "OMICS" research, our current knowledge is far from comprehensive understanding of living systems, which is likely because most of collected information is a mosaic of snapshots taken from different angles. The excessive segmentation of research areas, which is ironically a consequence of the recent rapid progress, appears to become an obstacle to stay focused on our principal goals – the global understanding of living systems. Under these circumstances, the session "Mass Spectrometry of Biomolecules" is planned to be an incubator to integrate knowledge and techniques, and to envision innovations, simply by providing a space where frank and active discussions take place between a broad range of acknowledged speakers and audiences. A few slots will be open for presenting your research, so please join us and be part of it!

Accuracy and reliability for quantitative analysis
|
|---|
| Organizer |
Organized by Tomoya KINUMI (AIST) & Yasuo MIZOOKU (Sumika Chemical Analysis Service, Ltd.)
|
|---|
| Scope |
"Quantitative analysis" can be defined as the following processes, measurement based on a reliable operation procedure, standard material for the measurement, and validation process of the result. To establish reliable quantification, both suitable standard and method of measurement are needed. Therefore, an improvement of the only technical aspect is insufficient to ensure the quality of measurement. The aim of this session will be focused on the standardization, regulation and traceability of quantitative analysis.

| Scope |
Global warming is one of the environmental problems of the Earth, and it is cautioned to prevent increase of CO2 emission which is one of the global warming gases. Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) has been applied to measure many chemical substances causing air pollution. The narrow spectral properties of semiconductor lasers can resolve rotational energy levels associated with different isotopes. The CRDS has been rapidly developed as a simple method to measure stable isotopic ratios in various chemical species such as CO2 and H2O. Principles and applications of the CRDS will be presented. Analytical methods of isotopic ratios, isotope separation and relationship between isotopes and environmental problems will be discussed.

In this workshop session, original developments of or new concepts for mass spectrometers and their components may be discussed. Although implemented technologies of recent commercial available mass spectrometers have been extremely sophisticated and seem to be almost matured, research interests related to the instrumentation will never end. A specialized instrument in fundamental studies, for instance, must be developed at first if one intends to measure m/z and other physical quantities such as ion mobility in parallel; meanwhile in the industry side, there are subjects of making mass spectrometers be portable, miniaturized, optimized for special purposes, or automated. Besides, instrumental developments are essential for ion generation/detection or imaging mass spectrometry. This workshop aims to focus on the attraction and scientific aspects of instrumentation for mass spectrometry through a wide variety of cases.
