Article Description

Clinical use of the nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug diclofenac (DF) is associated with an incidence of idiosyncratic hepatoxicity. The formation of reactive metabolites of DF in vivo has been proposed to be responsible for such toxicity. One type of reactive metabolite, a benzoquinone imine of DF formed through oxidation by cytochromes P450, can be trapped by glutathione in vitro in liver microsomes to form glutathione (GS) adducts. Three GS adducts from DF were reported in the literature, namely, 5-hydroxy (OH)-4-glutathione-DF, 4′-OH-3′-glutathione-DF and 5-OH-6-glutathione-DF, and they all have the same molecular weight of 616. Recently, we developed a sensitive and high throughput method for the detection of GS adducts from liver microsome incubation. This method uses a constant neutral loss scan of m / z 129, a “structure-characteristic” fragment for GS adduct, on an automated chip-based nanoelectrospray (Advion NanoMate 100) attached to a tandem mass spectrometer (Sciex API 3000). The analysis of GS adducts from human liver microsome incubation with DF by the NanoMate 100-API 3000 method unambiguously revealed a new adduct ion with m / z 583 (MH + ), in addition to the known adduct peak with m / z 617 (MH + ). This new adduct was further confirmed to be 4′-OH-2′-glutathion-deschloro-diclofenac by liquid chromatography (LC) tandem mass spectrometry (MS), LC/MS-NMR, and comparison to a synthetic standard.
